Amss en Alcohol Lesion, tor Jane IS, 1954 f i iv 1 '., "pHE prophets of Israel are Sin. v, , gularly up-to-date. They lived . thousands': of miles , away from ;V here, thousands of years ago. Yet 1 the problems of mankind are much I the same, then as now. The proph ; et' Inspired eyes could see what was wrong with p the world around I :. 'him, and he would f say bluntly what -it was. . But few M 'prophets often 'S A 'used that blanket i word "sin." No 'body's in favor of sin. What the prophet always did .was to name Dr. Foreman ' certain particular sins. These hab its. these acts, these customs, he would , say these are what our country . is dying from. These things are fatal. .So it was in 800 B.C., so it is in 1954 A.D. fLiquor Js Not Alone ' It is only fanatics who believe that some one sin is by itself destroying the country. No sin, in fact, exists by itself. Also it is true that when a country is de stroyed, as Israel was destroyed, it dies of more than one disease. The prophet Amos named a num ber of evils which were eating into the vitality of his nation and people. The consumption of liquor was one of these. But Amos never said that liqiior was the only thine wrong with- his country. He as sociates it with selfishness, greed, indifference to real' problems, adultery, dishonesty and ether sins. One of the bad features of liquor is that it attaches itself to other evils and makes them worse. There would be speeding on the highways even if everyone were always cold sober; but drinking drivers make the problem worse and the accidents more often fatal. (There really can't be such a thing as a drunken ' driver a drunk' can't drive at all. It's the drinking drivers who make, the trouble.) There would be murders if whiskey had never been heard from. But every day murders are reported in the papers that would no doubt never have been cord mitted if everyone concerned had been sober at the time. Rape; and seduction are hot unheard of by any means, in ! Mohammedan countries where alcoholic drinks are completely forbidden." But liquor pushes many young-people over the edge who without it could retain their self-control and self respect, but with it in them, lose both. The Best People' In the time of Amos he took note of some quite "respectable" peo ple who were drinkers. .Church goers he mentions first of all, peo ple who drink wine "in the house of their god." (This of course has nothing whatsoever to do with the communion service, a sacrament instituted by Christ.) He condemns these church-goers more than he does the riff-rafi. It is worse for some people to drink than it is for others; and perhaps worst of all for church people. After all is said and done, people who know little and may care less about what it right and what is wrong, will think that anything a church member does must be all right. One church member who is known to drink, even if he is very temperate about it, can do more harm than a dozen alcoholics. Another respectable class Amos mentions are the wom en of wealth and social position. Amos is not exactly respectful1 to these ladies; on the contrary he calls them cattle, "kine of Ba shan" a specially fat kind of cattle of these ; days. Again, the use of liquor by wives of success ful men, women who are leaders in their communities, does more harm than all the drinking down in the poolrooms. The harm done to Others by the drinker is often greater than what he does to him- S3lf. ' Amos Saw It Crrn'ng Amos predicted that his couitr w-uld soon fall because of it.1 sins, and fall it fMd. No (t Vr irlnkers of his d-y though? the Iquor drinking helped hem U escape from their trouble;; Amo1 could see that it Mily 'irought pii more troubles. The truth about liquor Is sl. om to bp had from i people who are its' vicHms, mere seldom still from those wno. make ' money by it. . Ministers, . doctors, welfare workers, see the situation from the standpoint of those who have to try to patch up the wrecks. , Do you Want a strong America?.

HERMAN TRUEBLOOD Te'xT: "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go Into the House of the Lord." Psalms 112:1. Surely we should be grateful that we do not have to live In some benighted land of heathen darkness, or behind some abominable "Iron Curtain" of brutal, God-denying Communism. The Psalmist delighted in attending "The House of The Lord;" said he: "Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine dwelleth." Ps. 26.8. Throughout the ages, - hundreds of -thousands, aye, millions of sincere souls have found their chief delights, comforts, inspirations, and fellow ships, in the temple of God. The church was born out of divine wisdom. Christ, our Saviour and Lord, Knew that all people needed a sacred and holy place for divine worship, and for the spiritual enlightenment and development of those ofkindred minds. The church is the place of holy memories, sacred ex periences,, superlative friendships, unfailing helpfulness,, and enduring divine promise: "I will build MY CHURCH, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Matt. 16:18. In the view of the supreme importance of the church can you declare with Joshua: ' As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord?" Josh. 24:15. Can any one really serve the Lord, in the truest sense of that word, who habitably ignores or neglects the church? If it came to a matter of either retaining, or abolishing, our churches, how would you vote? As a matter of fact every one of us is voting every day and every Sunday, by our SUPPORT or NEGLECT, either to preserve, or destroy the ehurch. In the words of another we quote the following reasons "Why We Should Attend Churchi BECAUSE The enduring things of life, faith, hope and love are stressed there. BECAUSE The routine of life is opened to the entrance of finer and higher things. v BECAUSE We are God-hungry tyr creation and we may find Him in sanctuary. , BECAUSE Public worsnip sincerely engaged in helps us to draw nearer to God. BECAUSE The sins, sorrows, cares, and responsibilities of our daily lives can be more readily dealt with.' . BECAUSE The church Is the mightiest agency on earth for the realization of human progress - the ally of all true reforms. BECAUSE It is the supreme character making institution in the world. v , BECAUSE It relates mankind to God and to one another in happy and useful fellowship. : BECAUSE Jesus Christ, the Saviour of all who believe, not only founded the church, but set the example of public worship bv attending the synagogue of His day: "As his custom was, he went into the synagogue on tne sabbath day, and stood up to The writer of Hebrews urges selves togetner. and tne psalmist keeper in the house of my God than Ps. 84:10.

At any rate, Will Thompson felt that he ow,ed something to the good Lord for his good for tune. He turned his talents to writing sacred songs. With money earned from his secular music, he set up his own firm for publishing song books. His sacred quartets alone sold two million copies and his gospel songs circled the globe.
