Monday, Aug. 18, 1947 rc~ iraiM i CI ATM Heavy Drinking Leading Cause of Violent Deaths The following: article from the Minne apolis "Morning Tribune" is just as ap plicable here as in any part of the coun try: Heavy drinking causes or helps cause more than a third of all accidental deaths in Hennepin County?not only in auto crashes, but' also in fights, shootings, tum bles and in just plain crossing the street while drunk. Goodwin Joss, county toxicologist and chemist, reported this fact in the authori tative Quarterly Journal of Studies on Al cohol. Different people, Joss said Wednesday, vary in the amount of alcohol they can consume before becoming menaces to themselves and others. But, if they have enough drinks, they all reach that point sooner or later. The National Safety Council and the American Medical Association say that a man is intoxicated if he has 15 one hundredths of a per cent of alcohol in his blood, and this is widely accepted as a legal definition. Joss, basing his results on blood tests of 94 accident victims duripg a 12-month period, reported that there was at least this amount of alcohol?or just a shade less?in the blood of 38 per cent of the ^victims. Of these: Twelve were pedestrians hit by auto mobiles or streetcars. Eight died of chronic alcoholism plus heart disease. Four were driving or riding, in cars in volved in accidents. Four were involved in other types of accidents?among them, a fatal fall from a hotel balcony. Three were found dead in fires?in cluding a man and wife burned to death in their home after a' drink bout. Two had taken part in quarrels or fights, one of them a stabbing in a tavern. Two were involved in fatal shootings. The Minneapolis and Hennepin County results, Joss pointed out, check with re sults of a similar study made in New York City. Joss writes that presence of alcohol in the blood stream of about .15 per cent re sults in "unstable equilibrium, disturbanc es of various faculties and inco-ordinatlon resulting in a staggering gait." "This is true," he asserts, "whether a person is a regular drinker or an abstain er, male or female, young or old, robust or sickly. "Although the occasional drinker be comes intoxicated much faster, the regu lar drinker will consume a sufficient a mount until his blood contains the same amount of alcohol as the occasional drink er's." Borrowed Comment FATHER OF EDUCATION (Greensboro Daily News) In honoring- Dr. James Y. Joyner on his 85th birthday North Carolina paid tribute to the man who is probably as much, re sponsible for its progress as any other now living. For this state's greatest develop ment got its head start in the years be tween 1902 and 1919 when Dr. Joyner was state superintendent Of public instruc tion, and it was the increase in the quan tity and quality of public education which iat feducators i the state and he is one of the Big F< [ Aycock, Alderman, Mclver and who gave the .state its present educational renaissance. 'During Dr. Joyner's tenure of office he initiated or helped bring about a longer school term, a compulsory attendance law, public transportation of children to schools, a fund for schoolhouse improve ment, and other innovations in an expand ing educational program. When Dr. Joyner took over in 1902, North Carolina's public school system had 200 log schoolhouses and less than 200 high school students. He left it a going concern, multiplying knowledge and con tributing a thousandfold to the life and culture of the state and nation, "This is my 85th birthday," said Dr. | "Joyner, "let no one for a moment imagine I am through." The champions of educa tion are never through for the task of de veloping infinite minds is an everlasting one, but it is rare that a man reaches the height from which, like Dr. 'Joyner, he can be "the witness of his own immortal-j ity." * ?

BY GOD'S SPIRIT "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts."? Zechariah 4:6. Human effort apart from the presence and power of God's spirit in one's life means failure. We believe many people fail to accomplish great and worth while things as they go through life because they do not have the spirit of God with them. They work hard enough to do great good, but seem to accomplish very little, ,for the reason that they do not yield themselves fully unto God that they may be led and directed by His spirit. There are many people who seem to mix good and evil together, and trust hu man effort to take them through life, and unto success. Good and evil won't mix and blend. Good is good and evil is evil. God is God and Satan is Satan. If we walk with God we don't walk with Satan. If we walk with Satan we don't walk with God. It is true that Satan seeks to lead us from God, and endeavors to get us to walk with him, but if we pray as we should, and obey the teaching of God's Word, and strive to do God's will, and have His spir it with us, then we overcome Satan and have victory in our souls. There is no might in our physical bo dies, apart from God's spirit, that will take us through to heaven. A man may Jbe a physical giant, but if he is minus the Holy Spirit, he falls an easy prey to the devil. There is no might nor power in our hands to fight off the enemy, and to bring u? unto life's best, highest and hol iest, and finally to the home of the soul, if God's spirit is not in our hearts and souls. It is true that God has given us our hands with which to do good, but we can't work our way to heaven, nor fight off the enemy merely with our hands. There is no might nor pow,er in our words that will commend us to God, and enable us to withstand Satan, if God's spirit is left out, or turned away. We rea lize that there is great power in a good testimony if we have the Holy Spirit with us, otherwise one's testimony is but emp ty and void and powerless. It is but "sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal." We believe the testimony of many people is without the spirit of God, consequently it doesn't amount to anything. It never blesses the one testifying, nor those to whom he testifies. / Satan would have us trust might and power apart from God in order to deceive and defeat us. - We are beating the air when we preach, or teach, or testify, or sing, or pray, or work, if we don't recog nize the Holy Spirit, or leave out the Holy Spirit. We should realize that we . are saved from sin by the spirit of God, sanc tified by the spirit of God, through the blood of Christ, and are kept by the spirit of God. ?
