YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ice Mora: Issue in *. e Drink mwri?. The tit}^ for our lessor. is veilciiuser.?"The Moral Issue in the Dr.r.k Problem." First, let it be clear that there is an Issue. Those who have business, social, or political connections with the liquor traffic would like to have us believe that the repeal of prohibition settled the matter once for all. But let us be sure of this fact? the liquor problem is at our very doc, and it must be met. In the second place, many would have us think that the matter of drunkenness is a social, political, or even a physical problem, without any moral implications whatever. But those who are informed know that even the supposedly innocent beer is inextricably tied up with vice and crime. A prisoner in a federal penitentiary writing before prohibition was repealed said, "Criminals hail with delight . . . the return of liquor via the beer route and the greater license that the return of li:e saloon will inevitably bring. With i'ne return of beer will come open prostitution and gambling." His words were true. I. Drunkenness Is 2 Work of Darkness (Rom. 13:12-14). Just as there are darkness and daylight in the physical universe. so there arc two contrasting spiritual realms, of darkness and light. .".Ten "lo%red darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil," according to the T.ord Jesus. (See John 3:19.) This spiritual realm of darkness is directed by "rulers of tile darkness of this world" (Eph. 0:12), and their purpose is "spiritual wickedness." With the "works of darkness" the believer is to "have no fellowship" (Eph. 5:11), hut is to "reprove then " and bring them into the light whore their true nature is made manifest <Eph. 5:13). "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all," and those who have fellowship with him "walk in the light." (See I John 1:5 7.) Drunkenness is a work of darkness. It separates man from God and makes him fear the glorious light of his countenance. The solution tor that awful condition is revealed in v 14. Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ." II. Drunkenness Is a Work of Unrighteousness (I Cor. 6:9-11). No drunkard "shall inherit the kingdom pf God" (v. 10), and the man who takes his first drink has put his foot on the path that leads to the drunkard's grave. Of course no man plans to go that far, but the fact is that such is toe tragic conclusion for hundreds of thousands of men ar.ri women?damned for time and eternity by drink. Again in this passage we have the answer to our problem. Not reformation, not education. not culture (desirable and useful though we t*r>r?r\frr? i'nAf.f\ tliintfc- ti-? Kc.t ?4 being "washed," "sanctified." and "justified" in "the r.n:-.ie of the Lord Jesus aad 3i the Spirit of God." Try that on jour town ?r jnkard. Thank Gcd, it works! ill. Drunkenness Is a Work of the Flesh (Gnl. 5:16-24). The flesh?that is our bodies ruled over by self-will as opposed to God's will?is revealed in the Scriptures to be shor'. johiv and, end in opposition to God. Consider the appalling ilsi ci the works of the llesh in verses IP and 21. And ncte that in the midst of thein stands drunkenne.-r. It is the lowest man that responds to into.-.icons Little wonder that the Brewers' Journal came out right niter the ejection of 1S32 with the statement that "not one tenth of one-per cent of American youths know I hi taste of real beer. We must educate them.'" In other weds the norma! tr .te of an intelligent person would revolt at the stuff, but once give it a chance to stir the lusts of "the flesh" and the victim is caught. Once again, note the antidote? live ir. the power of the Holy Spirit, and the flesh with its lusts is crucified (v. 24). How shall we have the Koly Spirit and his power in our lives? By taking the Lord Jesus i "hrist as oersonai Saviour. Words Without Action Few men suspect how much mere talk fritters away spiritual energy ?that which should be spent in action, spends itself in words. Killing Time People partial to this crime of killing time might be pardoned if they'll only kill their own. Kindness Kindness is a language the dumb can speak, and the deaf can hear and understand.?Bovee. WA TODAY ind TOMWW1 (OKitiiuied from page two) against a foreign armed force. Sea melted ice Men have never known much j about the bottom or the sea. Perhaps science will never find a way to explored the ocean's floor and map its nm tains and valleys, but j .new discoveries are being made ail the time. The latest of these is that the bottom of tiie sea has hundreds of deep : ; canyones. or clefts in the rocks which form the body of the earth, some of them as long and as wide as the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. There ?sri't any way to account for these ocean valleys except by guesswork. Scientists are trying ; to make the most plausible guesses, j The guess which seems most j likely to he true is that almost all tlie parts of the globe now covered 1 -* ,1 TV.., u\ .iaiv . ^ v?u^> luiiu. i?c . : waters were frozen into ice-caps, j miles high. over tin- two poles of the [earth. As the son grew hotter and I the ice began to melt, enormous rivers flowed forth and gouged out I deep channels for themselves. But , in the cowiSl- vT millions or years so ; j much of the ice turned to water that it filled all the lowlands, creating : what is now the ocean, and those old ;: river channels are now just deep i j gashes in the ocean's floor. Maybe ! i that's true. It sounds interesting. : : anvwav. j 1 * * * M i AGE of earth . The age of the earth is one of the j | questions to which men of science j' j are ceaselessly trying to find the j' j answer Their general belief is that j' ; our planet is from two thousand to j] i three thousand millions of years old, j* j and that life has existed on it for I more than two million. Half a million rears ago, there were j( : palm trees growing in northern j 1 j Greenland Then the climate changed j' and that whole northern hemisphere j \ down I- as far south as the Ohio River, was covered with ice a couple 1 of miles thick. Man and all other : animals had to move toward the j 1 ftijuator as the ice a dvanced. Then j the ice melted and man moved north H p.gain. Three times that has hap-11 ' period.

I have boon an amateur photo- I jgrapher ail my life. 1 made my first | ! camera when I was sixteen. There! | isn't anything much more fun than ! taking pictures, and it never was j j so easy for anybody and everybody | to take good pictures as it is today. The largest cameras will take pic ures aimast in the dark. Indeed, by j the use of the new infra-red plates, i photographs, can be made where I there is no light at all. so far as the j unaided eye can determine. The new flashlight bulbs make it possible to get pictures tit any hour of the day or night; By the use < i pictures, newsp pers and magazines are much more interesting today than they used to be when I was a young man. The old Chinese saying that one picture is worth ten thousand words may not bo literally true, hut it is a way of saying that we learn through our j eyes easier than through our ears, i j I think the young folks of today j ; know a lot more than did those of j u>.y general ion, iney see so jnav pictures. in newspapers, magazines and the movies, showing them how the world and its people look and act. * * * MEAT .... to stay high j Twenty-five years ago I went out i into the cattle country of the west J to find out why porterhouse steak in New York had gone up to 32 cents a pound.

The answer to the rising cost ol meat is s:ra; o. The law of supply and demand is at work. The droughts Dl' two and three years ago are beginning to have their inescapable effect on consumer prices. It takes on Lhe average, three years to grow a beefsteak. There was not enough breeding stock left in the cattle country, after the drought, to proluce a normal crop of marketable steers for this year. More people want beef: there is less Kef available: hence the high prices. I 'don't believe we will ever see cheap beef gain. It takes a lot oi :apital to raise beef cattle, and a long wait for returns. In the old lays of the open range beef was :heap.
