THE CHURCH AND BEVERAGE
ALCOHOL
International Sunday School Lesson
for July 20, 1941
Golden Text: "Ye are the salt
of the earth." Matt. 5:13.
Lemon Text: I Cor. 5:9-13;
Titus 2:1-8
Tn Rtndviiur this lesson, it might
be well to keep in mind the fact that
Paul's words of counsel and warning,
which apply to Christians today as
nll. were addressed to believers in
Christ who had banded themselves
together into a church at Corinth.
While the lives of many professing;
rrhriatiana fail to reveal it, there
nliniiM be a difference easily visible
in the lives and practices of those
who have accepted Christ from those
who have not Paul urges believer
in Christ to refuse to do many of tne
thin which unbelievers do and re
fuse to "keep company" with certain
types of people. Paul speciiicaiiy
mentions (1) fornicators: the sexual
ly impure; (2) covetous: those wno
are greedy ,of gain; (3) idolatorsi
those who worship idols; (4) railers
ihnse who heat abuse upon every
thing good; (5) drunkards: those
who become intoxicated; and (6)
esctortionen,: those who rob others
of what is rightly theirs.
While Paul urged the Corinthian
Christians not to be too intimate
with these people, we feel sure he
did not mean that they were to be
absolutely ignored. There is a great
difference in one's having as an inti
mate friend one of whose life one
does not approve and having an in
terest in that person in the hope of
winning him from his evil ways.
Jesus himself set the example for
others fcvhen he was on earth by lov
ing and ministering unto sinners, all
the while hating their sin. Therefore,
Christians certainly should not culti
vate intimate associations with in
temperate or ungodly people.
When warned about such associa
tions, some people often reply that,
because of business connections or
force of circumstances, they are com
pelled oftentimes to go places where
things of which they do not approve
occur. Dr. Wilbur M. Smith says:
"In our contemporary world, when a
businessman is obligated to attend a
dinner of the company for which he
is working, where other men similar
ly employed are supposed to be gath
ered together, for consultation or re
ports, or other business matters, one
cannot help it, if during the evening,
some of these men become intoxi
cated and lose their senses. He is
not responsible for that. But if he
knows certain business associates
are given to this vice, and are knoVn
to be heavy drinkers, he, as a Chris
tian, should deliberately avoid, and
no doubt will, entertaininjr this man
in his home, or at least making a
close friend of him. . . because if
he did any of these things, he would
(known to be a Christian) be telling
the world more or less that this vice
in this friend he considered of very
little consequence ... It is one thing
to be kind to a man who is a heavy
drinker, with the hope of winning
him to Christ, but it is an altogether
different matter to take him Into
close social fellowship ..."
Paul not only advises Christians
to avoid close fellowship with evil
doers in their daily lives, but also
declares that they should not be al
lowed to have the fellship of the
church. Dr. Char. R. Erdman sayi:
"Possibly the time has come now for
the Church to consider the discipline,

bnnir a stirring, surprising. awaicen-
ing Message to an unbelieving
world'
Our next 'Scripture passage comes
from Titus and while the letter to
the Corinthians was sent to a group
of people, this letter was sent to an
individual. Paul gives instructions
to five different groups. First, he
suggested that aged men be sober,
abstaining from wine, grave, tem
perate, sound in faith, in charity and
in patience. Second, he said that
aged women should be well-behaved,
not given to slander or intemperance,
rather, they should teach the young
women Christian virtues. Third, ad
vice was given to the young women
that they love their husbands and
honoring God. He also advises the
children, that they be discreet,
chaste, keepers at home, good, obed
ient to their own husbands, thus
young men they are to be sober-
minded, curbing their passions and
desires. His final instructions are to
Titus, himself, who was a preacher
of the gospel. He was to be a model
or pattern of good works, possessing
uncorruptness, dignity and sound
speech which could not be condemn'
ed.
Paul's advice is wise and is appli
cable to Christians today. He strong
ly emphasizes the obligation resting
upon Christians to live pure, up
right lives. Anything which harms
the body, created by God and (which
is God's temple, harms the soul and,
therefore, is to be avoided.

Families Asked For
Unused Aluminum
The nation's gigantic aluminum
gathering campaign, scheduled for
the week of July 21, will give every
family an opportunity to contribute
directly to the National Defense Pro
gram, says Dr. I. 0. Schaub, director
of the N. C. State College Extension
Service.
During that week, voluntary work
ers will call at the homes of Ameri
can families in every State asking
for any old aluminum not in use.
Purpose of the campaign is to sup
plement the vast supplies of the
metal needed for the production of
defense equipment, especially fight
ing planes.
Among the items which may be
contributed are: pots and pans, radio
parts, toys, shakers, screening, old
washing machine parts, book ends,
picture frames, ice trays, measuring
cups, camera equipment, kettles ana
double boilers, bottle and jar cap
refrigerator plates, and dozens of
others.
"Anything that's made of alumi
num will do," Dr. Schaub said. "That
old kettle with the hole in it that's
been lying around for years will help
in making a plane. A careful search
of pantries, basements, back porches,
and outbuildings will probably reveal
several items no longer usable that
will go to increase our present alum
inum supplies."
In rural areas, it has been propos
ed that 4-H Club members and home
demonstration club women call on
homes in their communities to col
lect the aluminum scrap. Dr. Schaub
said farm and home agents have been
asked to lend a helping hand in this
important defense campaign.

Explains How To
Handle Milk Supply
The handling in the home of milk
produced by the family cow has long
been a troublesome problem, says
John A. Arey, Extension dairy spec
ialist at N. C. State College.
"You find almost as many differ
ent flavors of milk and butter as
there are farm homes," the specialist
said. "As a matter of fact, cows do
not produce all these many flavored
products. The different tastes found
in dairy products in different home
are due to the different ways the
milk is handled."
A simple method of handling the
milk will solve almost any problem
that arises from the home produc
tion of dairy food, Arey added. He
said that the best container for milk
from one or two cows is the stand
ard glass milk bottle. Just after
milking, the milk should be strained
through a good filter-type strainer
after which the filter cloth should be
discarded.
Three to four folds of cheese cloth
can be used when a filter-type
strainer is not available but it is
necessary to sterilize the cloth with
boiling water after each use. Un
less the cloth is sterilized, it will
act as a source of bacterial infection
to milk each time the liquid is strain
ed through it. After straining, the
milk should be poured into quart
glass bottles. A small tin funnel is
good for use to prevent spilling. The
bottles thei; should be capped .with
standard milk bottle caps. Several
