KEEPING 1 THE ' BODY , STRONG
International Sunday School
for March 20, 1938
Lesson
Golden Text: ' "Now therefore
beware, I pray thee, and drink
no vine nor strong drink nor'"
eat any unclean thing." Judges ;
Lesson Textt Mark t-M-Mi Judge
il3:12-14i I Cor. S:lt-17;
i,- Keauaa 12:1-2
After the feeding of the five
thousand, Jesus told Us disciples to
get into a boat and row across the
Sea cf Galilee to Gennesaret, leaving
him behind. During the crossing a
storm arose and the disciples thought
surely they would be drowned. How
ever, .Jesus had kept his . eyes on
them, and seeing" their difficulty, he
walked toward them on the water.
We know the story of Peter, who,
upon seeing Jesus approaching on the
water! attempted to walk from the
boat toward him, but becoming
frightened, began to sink. Jesus
rescued him and together they re
turned to the boat. Reaching land,
they "moored to the shore."
Here again we see evidences of
Jesus concern for the physical bodies
of men, because, as soon as news of
his arrival was noised abroad through
the district, the people hurried to
him, bringing with them any who
were sick among them. Evidently,
there was much sickness in this little
district, for Mark declares that
"wheresoever he entered into vil
lages or into cities, or into the coun
try, they laid the sick in the market
places, and besought him that they
might touch if it were but the border
of his garment, and as' many as
touched him were made whole." It
is no wonder that Jesus is known as
the Great Physician.
Throughout the Bible one can find
numerous indications that God is in
terested also in the physical well-
as well as the soul, and He knows
that in order for man to attain the
hisrhest degree of perfection in life,
care must be taken of both the body)
and the soul.
The passage from Judges, given
for our consideration, is advice given
to a husband, Manoah, by an angel
of God. concerning what his wife
was to do before the birth of the
child which God had promised them.
The completeness of the angel's in
structions is revealed in the fact that
he simply repeated to Manoah the
same instructions he had previously
given to Manoah's wife. The child
which was to be born was dedicated
to God and would be a Nazi rite, or
one who is separated unto God and
who takes certain vows which are to
be rigidly kept.
It should be noted that not only
was the Nazirite himself to abstain
from strong drink, but the mother
of the one who was to live under a
Nazirite vow all his life was to re
frain from drinking any strong drink
from the time of ' the conception of
the thild to the day of his ; birth.
This,' is significant Dr.' J. Clifton
Edgar, a professor of obstetrics in
Cornell University Medical College
for thirty years, in a book on "The
Practices of Obstetrics," in speaking
of the diet of an expectant mother,
says, "The drink should :' be water,
milk, or chocolate; tea and coffee
nnay be taken in moderation, but
should not be strong. Alcoholic bev
erages should ., be .avoided, for the
pregnant woman is especially prone
to contract the alcoholic habit"
- Paul makes a very strong plea for
temperance in all things, when he re
minds us, in striking manner, "Know
ye now that ye are in the temple of
God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you. If any man de
stroyed the temple of God, him shall
God destroy." If we realized this
more fully, we probably would not
do many of the things with our bod
ies and to our bodies that we now do.
No man in his right mind would
tear down or attempt to destroy a
material temple of God's, or desecrate
a church building. No, God's temple
is too sacred .a place for even the
unbeliever to lay hands upon. And
yet, our individual temples our bod
iesare not held to be as sacred. We
weaken them by carelessness, by!
over-anxiety, by over-work, by over
indulgence, by sin without even con
sidering the fact that we ' are de
stroying a sacred thing. l;
If we think of our . bodies' as the
dwelling place of the Spirit of God,
we cannot. help but take, care of
them. We cannot take into our bod
ies anything that will destroy them
and, surely all scientific research
points to tne net tnat alcohol is a
destroyer of human tissues and a
paralyser of nerve centers. Someone
has declared that , fthe movement
against alcohol is more than a ques
tion of reducing drunkness, prevent
ing accidents, increasing efficiency; it
is a question of preserving life from
generation to generation."
If we accept Paul' plea and "pre
sent out bodies a living sacrifice holy,
acceptable to God," then we shall
have the power to refuse to do those
things which tend to render our bod
ies as unfit dwelling places for the
Spirit of God, we shall refuse to be
"conformed to this world," to do
things Just because others are doing
them, but will strive to keep our bod
ies' strong and clean, holy and accept
able to God. Mh::-:M'i'
Much Brass la French Hon
There's seven feet; four inches of
brass tube twisted into the French
horn. And it Isn't French; it was
invented in Italy. - Musicians call
this instrument a cross between a
trumpet and a primitive animal
horn. It is one of the most costly
(and also one of the most difficult
to play) wind instruments in an orchestra.

It is dangerous to sell a SUBSTITUTE
for 666 just to make three or four
cents more. Customers are your best
assets; lose them and you lose your
business. 666 is worth three er four
times as much as a SUBSTITUTE.
" Inherit Overweight
A' study of the causes of obesity
disclosed the fact that more than
70 per cent of the men and women
examined, had overweight parents.
