£r£__-about:
Species of Candidates.
SANTA MONICA, CALIF.-It
takes all kinds of candidates
to make up this world. Maybe
that’s why the world seems so
overcrowded.
There’s the candidate who belongs
to all the secret orders; if he left
off his emblems,
knows every grand
hailing sign there is; W j?
neral in years; can
hardly wait for the ft il
next one to die. No
campaign complete
izing in the hearty
handshake, the neck- Irvin S. Cobb
embrace, the shoul
der-slap, the bear-hug, the gift of
remembering every voter by his first
name, • and the affectionate inquiry
regarding the wife and kiddies.
JAfhen he kisses a babysit sounds
dike somebody taking off a pair of
wet overshoes. Usually has a weath
erbeaten wife needing a new hat.
Strutty candidate who’s constantly
leading an imaginary parade of
50,000 faithful followers. Loves to
.poke his chest away out and then
follows it majestically down the
street. A common or standardized
species.

Biblical Wisdom.
TN THE Book of Nahum, Chapter
11, I came upon this verse:
“The chariots shall rage in the
streets, they shall jostle one against
another in the broad ways; they
shall seem like torches, they shall
run like the lightnings.”
Those Old Testament prophets
certainly peered a long way into the
future. Because I traveled by night
through a main thoroughfare leading
from Los Angeles to the sea and
vice versa, and I knew what Nahum
was describing.
But not even an inspired seer of
the Bible could imagine a record of
traffic mortality so ghastly as the
one we’ve already compiled in this
year of grace 1937 A. D. (automo
bile destruction)—or a people so
speed-mad.

How to Fight Japs.
\yHENEVER we have a Jap
’ anese war scare, I think of
Unc'a Lum Whittemore, back in
west Kentucky, who loved to dis
pense wisdom as he hitched one
practiced instep on a brass rail and
vrit.lV his free hand fevyh’t the resi
dent flies for the tidbit of free lunch
which he held in his grip.
' One day a fellow asked Uncle
Lum, who had served gallantly in
the Southern Confederacy until a
very hard rainstorm came up, what
he’d do if the yellow peril boys in
vaded America.
t “I’d hunt me a hollow tree in the
Ideep woods,” he said. “Yes, son,
'the owls would have to fetch me my
■mail. I been readin’ up on them
Japs. They’re fatalists.”
“What’s a fatalist?” demanded
someone.
“Near ez I kin make out,” stated
the veteran, “a fatalist is a party
that thinks you’re doin’ him a deep
pussonal favor when you kill him.”

Hollywood Fashions.
SOME envious style expert says
Hollywood fashions are too gar
ish. If he’s talking about Hollywood
males, I say they’re just garish
enough. If they were any more
garish than they are, visitors would
have to Wear blinders, and if they
were any less garish, Italian sunsets
would stand a chance in the com
petition. And I want the champion
ship to stay in America.
Billy Gaxton picks out something
suitable for a vest to be worn to a
fancy dress party and then has a
whole suit made out of it. Bob
Montgomery’s ties are the kind that
I buy in moments of weakness and
then keep in a bureau drawer be
cause I’m not so brave as Bob is;
and also I keep the drawer closed
because I can’t stand those sudden
dazzling glares. And Bing Crosby
is either color-blind or thinks every
body else is. But his crooning is
mighty soothing. And so it goes—
red, pink, green, purple, orange,
sky-blue and here and there a dash
of lavender.
Our local boys gladden the land
scape with the sort of clothes I’d
wear, too —only my wife won’t let
me. Stop, look, listen! That’s our
sartorial motto, and these jealous
designers back east can kindly go
jump in a dye-pot.

Little reference is made to Brit

that Pliny speaks of it as the “Look

Caesar tells something of the fight

Lesson for October 31
THE MORAL ISSUE IN THE
DRINK PROBLEM
LESSON TEXT—Romans 13:12-14; 1
Corinthians 6:9-11; Galatians 5:16-24.
GOLDEN TEXT—WaIk In the Spirit, and
ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.—
Galatians 5:16.
PRIMARY TOPIC—My Neighbors.
JUNIOR TOPIC—The Greatest Law.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
Why Is It Wrong to Drink Alcoholic Bev
erages?
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
The Moral Issue In the Drink Problem.
The title for our lesson is well
chosen—“The Moral Issue in the
Drink 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 prohi
bition settled the matter once for
all. But let us be sure of this fact—
the liquor problem is at our very
door, and it must be met.
In the second place, many would
1 have us think that the matter of
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 fed
eral penitentiary writing before pro
hibition was repealed said, “Crimi
nals hail with delight . . . the re
turn of liquor via the beer route and
the greater license that the return
of the saloon will inevitably bring.
With the return of beer will come
open prostitution and gambling.”
His words were true.
I. Drunkenness Is a Work of Dark
ness (Rom. 13:12-14).
Just as there are darkness and
daylight in the physical universe, so
there are two contrasting spiritual
realms, of darkness and light.
Men “loved darkness rather than
light because their deeds were evil,”
according to the Lord Jesus. (See
John 3:19.) This spiritual realm of
darkness is directed by “rulers of
the darkness of this world” (Eph.
6:12), and their purpose is “spiritu
al wickedness.” With the “works of
darkness” the believer is to “have
no fellowship” (Eph. 5:11), but is
to “reprove them” and bring them
into the light where their true na
ture 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 dark
ness. It separates man from God
and makes him fear the glorious
,'ight of his countenance. The solu
tion for that awful condition is re
vealed in v. 14. “Put ye on the
Lord Jesus Christ.”
11. Drunkenness Is a Work of Un
righteousness (I Cor. 6:9-11).
No drunkard “shall inherit the
kingdom of God” (v. 10), and the
man who takes his first drink has
put his foot on the path that leads
r .o the drunkard’s grave. Os course
no man plans to go that far, but the
(act is that such is the tragic con
clusion for hundreds of thousands of
men and women—damned for time
and eternity by drink.
Again in this passage we have the
answer to our problem. Not refor
mation, not education, not culture
(desirable and useful though we
recognize these things to be), but
being “washed,” “sanctified,” and
“justified” in “the name of the Lord
Jesus and in the Spirit of God.” Try
that on your town drunkard. Thank
God, it works!
111. Drunkenness* Is a Work of the
Flesh (Gal. 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 thoroughly bad, and in opposi
tion to God. Consider the appalling
list of the works of the flesh in
verses 19 and 20. And note that in
the midst of them stands drunken
ness.
It is the lowest in man that re
sponds to intoxicants. Little won
der that the Brewers’ Journal came
out right after the election of 1932
with the statement that “not one
tenth of one-per cent of American
youths know the taste of real beer.
We must educate them.” In other
words the normal taste of an in
telligent 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 in the power of the Holy Spirit,
and the flesh with its lusts is cruci
fied (v. 24). How shall we have the
Holy Spirit and his power in our
lives? By taking the Lord Jesus
Christ as personal Saviour.

“High, Wide and Handsome At
Palace Theatre Monday And
Tuesday
A romance flavored by the music
of Jerome Kern, set in the colorful
period of the middle IBoo’s in Penn
sylvania, is the theme of “High,
Wide and Handsome,” which comes
Monday to the Palace Theatre
Book and lyrics were written by
Oscar Hammerstein 11, and the film I
was directed by Rouben Mamoulian.
In “High, Wide and Handsome”
Irene Dunne is a young and light
hearted carnival singer, while Ran
dolph Scott is a forceful young
Pennsylvania farmer who has be-!
gun drilling for oil on his farm,
making the first oil drill in the
country. Thdse two, from widely I
different backgrounds, meet, fall in
love and marry. On their wedding
day, oil is discovered in Scott’s well
and he plunges into development of
his find, finding but little time for
his new wife.
Accustomed to an exciting and
colorful life with the carnival, Miss
Dunne soon finds her new existence
a bore, and her husband cruelly
preoccupied and indifferent. Unable
to reconcile herself to the dulling of
the love to which she has dedicated
her life, she runs off after a quarrel
with Scott, and joins another car
nival.
Scott, in the meantime, has been
waging a war against railroad inter
ests which threaten the independ
ence of his group of oil drillers; and
the huge influence and resources of
his rivals have forced him into a
position where his life is threatened,
as well as his business. |
Miss Dunne learns of her hus
band’s danger, and rushes at once
back to his arms. Confident that I
nothing can shake her love forj

Harry Burns celebrated his birth
day by walking into a local police
