What’s Wrong With Drinking
By TERRY JONES
nr "What? know ye not that your,
; body is the temple of the 'Holy
t Ghost which is in you, which
- ye have of God, and ye are not
your own? I Corinthians 6:19-20.
What’s wrong with drinking?
S This is a much discussed ques
< tion especially among young
; people. Maybe the question
' should be, what’s right with
. drinking? Drinking liquor tears
down the mind and body of a
5 human being. Man is made in
the image of God according to
Genesis 1:27. In making us
this way God gave us a mind
to choose right and wrong, He
gave us a mind to glorify Him.
When a person takes liquor or
anything else into his body that
mixes up his mind for pleasure
he is actually mocking God’s
image. Romans 12:1 says to pre
j sent your body a living sacrifice,
' holy, acceptable unto God. Our
bodies are holy temples of God.
How can anyone say that they
are glorifying God in their body
body by taking in a slow kill
ing poison such as alcohol.
People say, “I can go home
and drink and not harm any
one,” but we are still in the
image of God at home or any
where we may be. Many people
call themselves social drinkers.
You may be lucky and go
through life by being a light
drinker, but what kind of an
example are you making for
your children and others? You
social drinkers could ruin your
children’s whole life by leading
them down the path to becom
ing an alcoholic. I also doubt
if there are really many so
called social drinkers. We eith
er drink liquor or we don’t We
are either for Christ or against
Him.
What about the person known;
as a drunkard? There is no
need for discussion here. God’s
Word only says in I Corinthians
6:10 that drunkards are num
bered among those that will not
inherit the kingdom of God. It
: doesn’t say he might inherit the
.kingdom it makes it plain that
he will not.
•
• The next titne you start to
* fake a drink say this prayer
before you take it: “Oh God,
I’m drinking this to glorify your
holy name. By taking this into
■my body I am presenting myself
to you as a living sacrifice, holy
and acceptable to you. In Jesus
name and for His sake I pray.”
I dp not believe you can truth
fully utter this prayer to God
and drink an alcoholic beverage
with a satisfied mind. I chal
lenge you to try it.
Mdn, woman or young person
turn to Jesus Christ with your
problems instead of liquor. Give
your • body and mind to Him
instead of liquor. Give Him the
time and money it takes to
drink and you will be reward
ed in a much greater way. You
think that you can’t stand the
temptation. Well, you can’t by
yourself but God will provide
away of escape from this temp
tation so that you can bear it.
You won’t escape the tempta
tion unless you turn to God. If
Christ were on earth today, I

How To Grow
‘Monster’ Melon
Hundred - pound watermelons
don’t grow on trees; but they
can be grown.
On July 19, the heaviest mel
on will have a place of honor —
and a SSO prize— at the North
Carolina Watermelon Festival in
Raleigh. The honor and the
prize will go to some Tar Heel
4-H’er or FFA member who fol
lowed, a few special practices in
growing the big ’un.
Here’s what to do, if you
want to produce a monster mel
on, according to Henry Coving
ton, horticulture specialist at
North Carolina State College:
1. Plant a large-fruit variety;
Cobb Gem, Tendersweet, White-
Seeded Watson or Garrison.
2. Allow only one fruit per
plant to develop—by cutting off
all of the additional fruit on the
plant.
3. Plant the hills 12 by 12
feet; then thin to one plant per
hill.
4. Broadcast 8-8-8 fertilizer, at
the rate of two pounds (one
quart) per 150 square feet of
soil. Fertilize a few days be
fore planting, mixing well in the
upper four inches of topsoil.
5 Be sure to sidedress with
nitrogen. As the plants start to
form runners, put on five to six
ounces of nitrate of soda, or two
to three pounds of ammonium
nitrate, or three to four pounds
of calnitro. Repeat at last cu]
tivation.
6. Once a week, give your
plant or plants about an inch
of water.
7. Treat the soil for nema
todes.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
“Is the Universe, Including
Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?”
is the subject of the Lesson-
Sermon to be read Sunday at
Christian Science churches.
The superiority of divine law
over the laws of matter will
be emphasized. Included in the
Bible readings is the account in
John (6) of how Christ Jesus
walked on the sea to join his
disciples in their ship.
From “Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures” by
Mary Baker Eddy will be read
(p. 273): “God never ordain
ed a material law to annul the
spiritual law. If there were
such a material law, it would
oppose the supremacy of Spirit,
God, and impugn the wisdom
of the creator. Jesus walked on
the waves, fed the multitude,
healed the sick, and raised the
dead in direct opposition to ma
terial laws.”
The Golden Text is from
Revelation (11): “We give thee
thanks, O Lord Almighty, which
art, and wast, and art to come;
because thou has taken to thee
thy great power, and hast
reigned”.

with the holy purposes of God.
The tongue, like untamed
beasts of the jungle, is wild.
Just when we believe we have
it mastered, it breaks loose and
all our regrets and apologies
cannot repair the damage it
causes. The tongue is respon
sive to our dispositions; it
shouts our anger when we are
disappointed; it expresses our
harshness when our inferiorities
are exposed; it reveals our de
ceit when our connivances are
thwarted.
The tongue cannot honorably
serve two masters. This is
brought home to us when we
reflect on James 3:9—“With it
we bless the Lord and Father,
and with it we curse men, who
are made in the likeness of
God.” This verse summons the
tongue to consistency. A re
deemed man will not rest con
tend so long as he lives in an
unredeemed society where any
of God’s children are suffering
deprivation.
From its beginning the good
news which Christ shared with
the world has depended on the
spoken word for its impact on
the minds .and affairs of men.
We must, then, as Christians,
declare only that which can be
confirmed in good faith by the
Scriptures. We will stake out
our claims for men’s hearts and
minds only in the spirit of di
vine love. We will make no
apology for the urgency of our
