You can educate your conscience so that it will let you do anything you want to.” Can you let your conscience be your guide ? It depends on your conscience. One can trample on one’s conscience I until that inanimate something, or as George Washington called it “that celestial spark,” will let one do any thing just about. It is truly interesting to listen to what people think is right. Some say it is all right to do certain ways at the dining table, if you know better. Others think it is beyond anything wrong to do all your church duties on Sunday morning, and do as they please on the rest of the Sabbath. Some say you can make harm out of anything. Then there are groups that twist things so as to have some excuse to make it all right, and claim their consciences are satisfied. In school we go through grades. We are not ready for the second grade until we have completed the first. We could not do college work unless we had finished grammar school and high school requirements. We do not hope for a person so unfortunate as not to have attended school to be able to cope with diffi cult situations that require efficiency. Then why should we expect people to do right unless they have been thrown in an environment that will guide them in right living? Begin in the home, go to church, associate with good company. Do all you can to train — not educate — your con science to be your guide. were the week end guests of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Pittman of near Prince ton.

Mrs. Laura Capps and son, Charles By EDWIN MILLER GOLDEN TEXT: “Beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink.” Judges 13:4. Soon after the worship in the Ta bernacle had been instituted, two of Aaron’s sons named Nadab and Abihu “offered strange fire” in burn ing incense to God. The fire used for incense-burning in the house of God was to come from the brazen altar, which fire originally came from heaven. It has been thought for two reasons that these two men were intoxicated when they committed the sacrilege which brought on their death. First of all immediately following the ac count of their death a solemn com mand was given prohibiting the priests from drinking while serving God. .Secondly they were specifically forbidden “on entering the tent of meeting,” the scene of this tragedy. “Alcohol and Spiritual Leadership” Total abstinence is required for the best spiritual perception and discern ment. Strong drink lowers ideals and undermines moral judgments and deadens spiritual ambition. God must be worshipped with a clear brain and a normally beating heart. The ob vious lesson from the tragedy of Aaron’s sons is “Don’t drink while on duty.” In a true sense God’s leaders are always on duty. They need always to distinguish the holy from the un holy. If they are to be effective teachers of God’s statutes their pri vate lives must harmonize with their public ministry. The basic qualifica tion for spiritual leadership is ab solute purity and integrity in person al character. The reading describing the rigid rules which were to govern the life of John the Baptist emphasizes the part the Holy Spirit was to have in his life. There is an obvious contrast here between “strong drink” and the Holy Spirit. In place of the physical excitement of strong drink, he^ is to have the supernatural inspiration of the Holy Spirit. His spiritual vision was not to be impaired. All his faculties of his personality were to be constantly under the sovereign control of the Spirit of God. “Alcohol and Rulers” The rules made for “rulers” might well apply to all law-enforcement of ficers, legislators, judges, in our na tion, state and counties. The simple truth is that government is ordained by God and that laws are necessary to maintain order and protect the people. Civil officers are responsible for the execution of law, for the maintenance of order, and for the dis charge of functions of government. They therefore have a function or dained of God. “Alcohol in the Home” ■What is the result of drinking in the home? The peace of the home is often disturbed. The spirit of the home is demoralized. Anyone familiar with the reasons for legal divorces cannot but be shocked with the fre quency of intoxication being the named cause for the destruction of hundreds of homes. Juvenile delin quency is increased by sanctioning in the sacred institution of the home one of the devil’s most notent agents. “Something to Think AbouF’ Last year the American people spent about five billion dollars or about fifteen million dollars a day for liquors.
