j SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
BIBLE TEACHINGS AGAINST
DRUNKENNESS
Ail
lnti rational Sunday School Lesson
f for March, 7, 194.
" GOLDEN TEXT: "Strong
drink sball be bitter to them
tbt drink it." Isaiah 24:9.
(Lesson Text: 1 Samuel 30:16.17;
Isaiah 2:l-4, 7; Galatians 5:19-21.)
From the texts we have been given
for our consideration, and from nu
merous others which we may easily
find throughout the Bible, we realize
that drunkenness and its accompany
' ing evils has been with man from the
earliest times. With the progress
that civilization has made it would
seem a curse such as this one would
have long ago been eliminated from
the life of man, but, of course, such
is not the case.
In these days of war, when every
effort is being made to make the
best possible use of every available
man in order that the material for
war may be produced in the shortest
possible time, anything that destroys
the efficiency of the nation's man
power should be considered an enemy
tto the fullest use of that manpower.
f-lence proves that alcohol, when
lAa into the body even in the
Smallest quantities impairs the effi-
' fiency of the brain and slows down
the reaction of the nerves.
AnfThe story taken from I Samuel,
.f Jjfch tells of the slaughter of the
jAmelikites by a small band of Israel
ites under David, should be an' object
lesson in these times. These Ameli
kites, victorious over Ziklag, had
taken everything they found, even
including the wives and sous and
daughters of Judah. David pursued
the victors find found them celebrat
ing their victory spread abroad over
j-iiljr. the ground, eating and drinking,
jTtt4 dancing, because of the great
fBgoU they had taken. David utterly
' defeated them, only four hundred
young camel riders escaping.
.Woe is pronounced on Ephraun by
Prophet. Isaiah because of their
inkennesa and forecasts their utter
doom at the hands of the neighboring
Assyrians. Isaiah also warns the
people of Judah that they too, and
Specially their rulers, are not less
k. nouered by wine than the people of
,?T Jtfaim.
'Are such warnings pertinent to
car' times? One writer declares,
"Drunkenness always means defeat.
.,IMd you ever hear of a drunkard
achieving anything? A drunkard has
; defeated himself. Every one will
" grant this. But not everyone is will-

ing to grant the further truth that
drinking which does not make a man
absolutely drunk nevertheless par
tially defeats him, renders him in
capable of achieving his best."
Paul, in his letter to the Galatians,
from which we have an excerpt this
week, gave some very practical ad
vice on living.
While Paul recognizes the liberty
of all in the faith he reiterates the
claim upon each for service to one
another through mutual love. He
contrasts the "works of the flesh"
with the "fruit of the Spirit" and
urges his followers to allow the
Spirit to guide them in their daily
livintr. Verses 19-21 are contrasted
with verses 22-23, reciting the con
flicting results of lives in which the
motive powers are different. As
summarized bv A. W. Robinson, the
works of the flesh and the fruits of
the Spirit are contrasted:
"The horrid enumeration follows a
natural order. The list begins with
sins against self; then come what
were more directly sins against God;
finally, there are the sins against
society. The words fall into four
groups. The first group includes
three sins in which sensuality in the
narrower cause is prominent; the
second includes two that are asso
ciated with heathen religion; the
third group contains eight in which
conflict with others is present; the
fourth consists of drunkenness and its
natural accompaniments.
In emphasizing self-control this
lesson naturally turns towards the al
cohol question. While the Christian
is blessed with liberty, he should not
construe this to mean license. As
Professor Findlay says: "Whose lib
erty is of most importance a man'
right to drink what he pleases or his
family's right to a fair share in his
income? The consequences of drink
cannot be confined to the drinker, or
even to the drinker's home; they
spill over into the community where
the rights to peace, safety, and quiet
are of greater importance than a
man's right to drink poison. Those
who claim the most personal liberty
would be in hot water all the time
were it not that others give up
much personal liberty even for their
sake. There is no such thing as per
sonal liberty to do wrong or to vio
late law. All individual rights give
way to social obligations. One-way
streets, traffic rules, speed limits,
ordinances that cover the distribution
of ice, milk, meat, and other food
stuffs are all in point."
Every Christian should retain com
plete control of his faculties, which he
cannot do without liquor, for, as Bert
H. Davis says: "Intoxication begins
just as soon as alcohol enters the
body. Alcohol has a toxic or poison
ing effect. The use of a small quan
tity may be quickly detected in the
membranes of the eye and through
the knee-jerk test for nerve control
The effect on intellect is not so eas
ily determined, but science knows that
the more sensitive and intelligent the
person, the more quickly does alcohol
operate to depress and to deaden
Intoxication usually begins, therefore,
without the knowledge of the user of
the liquor. From the first drink on
ward, he is increasingly less compe
tent to judge whether or not he is
being dangerously affected by what
he takes."

May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with its hurry and worry.
Irregular habits, improper eating ana
drinking Its risk of exposure and infec
tion throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swellingfeel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doan't Pill: Doan't help the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom
mended by grateful users everywhere.

The old saying, "A wormy pig
will never get big," should be kept in
mind this spring as thousands of new
pigs are born, reports Dr. C. D. Grin
nells, Experiment Station Veterinar
ian at N. C. State College. The
roundworm, or ascarid, is one of the
most common and injurious of these
swine parasites.
To raise pigs that develop quickly
and profitably, he urges that growers
adopt an approved swine sanitation
system. This includes the removal
of all litter from the farrowing pens
and cleaning of the pens with boiling
water, soap and lye.
A few days before farrowing time
scrub the sow thoroughly with a
brush, using soap and warm water to
remove all dirt. Pay special atten
tion to the udder.
Within ten days after farrowing,
haul (do not drive) the sow and pigs
directly to a field which has previous
ly been sown to a forage crop. Allow
no other hogs in this pasture except
sows and litters similarly handled.
Provide plenty of shelter and sheds,
and a safe supply of fresh water.
Leave the pigs on a clean pasture
for at least four months, after which
danger from roundworms is rela
tively slight, said Dr. Grinnells. The
use of this system generally makes
pigs ready for market 4 to 8 weeks
earlier than under dirty hog-lot con
ditions. The herd is more uniform in
size and practically free of runts.
For the system to be effective, none
of these steps should be omitted, he
said.

Farmers Get Higher
Ratings For Lumber
n
Conserve Your Car
Let Joe aad Bill's check your car regularly. Proper
lubrication and oil change will conserve your car . . .
and will aid in saving gasoline. Keep your car looking
"tops" by having it washed and waxed.
Higher priority ratings for soft
wood lumber required for essential
agricultural uses are provided in an
amendment to the softwood lumber
conservation order, according to G. T.
Scott, chairman of the State USDA
War Board.
Under the new ruling, farmers are
provided with an AA-3 priority rat
ing for lumber used in maintenance
and repairing of farm buildings,
other than dwellings. An AA-4 rat
ing is provided for most other agri
cultural uses, such as constructing
shelters, burns, pens, sheds for live
stock and poultry, and other essential
buildings.
"Automatic preference ratings are
not provided for new softwood lumber
to be used for such agricultural pur
poses as construction of new dwell
ings, garages, machine sheds, repair
shops and similar buildings," Scott
said. "The softwood lumber conser
vation order, however, does not affect
the use of home-sawed, used, or hard
wood lumber for any purpose, unless
otherwise restricted. Regardless of
the type of lumber used, present con
servation orders prohibit construction
of agricultural dwellings costing $200
or more and other agricultural build
ings costing $1,000 or more, without
prior approval of the War Production
Board."
He said the amendment makes it
compulsory for dealers to fill pur
chase orders carrying a preference
rating if they have the material on
hand and do not have, orders pending
with higher priority ratin-
