LESSON TEXT—Leviticus 10:1.1. 0-11: Proverbs 31:4. 8; Isaiah 30:1-8; Romans 14:31. GOLDEN TEXT—Wine Is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever Is deceived thereby Is not wise. Prov. 30:1. PRIMARY TOPIC—What a Wise King Said. JUNIOR TOPIC—When a Man Drinks. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Drinking Harms Others. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Why Beverage Alcohol Is a So cial Foe. The use of intoxicating liquors is financially unprofitable to the na tion, scientifically unwise and de structive, socially degrading, and morally wrong. We have, therefore, in our series of lessons for 1937, four which are devoted to the drink problem, touching it from each of these viewpoints: the financial on January 31; the scientific on April 18; the social today; and the moral yet to come, on October 31. Let us make sure that this grave issue is being faced both in our homes and in our churches. I. The Problem. The selected Old Testament scrip tures which comprise our lesson present the use of intoxicants as causing four socially undesirable re sults. 1. Religious disobedience (Lev. 10:1,2; Isa. 28:7). Two things we may rightfully expect of those who serve the nation in its religious life: (1) a vision of God and obedience to that vision in life and service, and (2) {he exercise of sound God guided judgment in the affairs of the people. But note what happens when the prophet and the priest turn to wine and strong drink. They err in vision” (Isa. 28:7). That is, they have no clear concepts of di vine truth, and lead the people into error. Further, we see that “they stumble in judgment.” To every true servant of God comes repeated ly the opportunity and the need of rendering judgment, that is, of ad vising and counselling those to whom he ministers. If his mind is befuddled by the use of alcohol (or, for that matter, of any other kind of worldly indulgence) he will "stum ble,” and cause his people to stum ble. * A sad incident is related in Lev. 10:1,2 of the sons of Aaron, appoint ed to the priesthood and instructed in its privileges and duties, but coming with strange fire to be of fered before the Lord. Swift and terrible was the Judgment they re ceived. We are not told directly that they were intoxicated, but it is implied in the fact that there is an immediate injunction against the use oT wine by the priests. '**» ■ Lest someone think that such a thing could not happen in our day the writer mentions word which re cently came to him that a leading seminary has professors on its staff who defend the so-called moderate use of alcoholic drink. 2. Political disorder (Prov. 1:5). While political leaders make sancti monious protestations that govern ment agencies are not influenced by the liquor interests, it is common knowledge to even those who are slightly informed that the two are closely associated. The result of that unholy alliance is rightly de scribed in Prov. 31:5—‘They for get the law, and pervert the judg ment of any of the afflicted.” Much at the sad disorder in the body poli tic is traceable directly to the door of the makers and sellers of alco holic beverages. 3. National decay (Isa. 28:1-0). "Overcome with wine”—stricken down, useless in life, without true ambition, such is the picture of the man who gives himself to drink. Poverty, with all its attendant so cial problems, follows on die heels of the sale and use of intoxicants. Some liquor dealers are beginning to sense a rising tide of opposition to their business, and are advertis ing, “We do not want bread mon ey,” but the fact is that it is all too often bread money that goes for liquor, and the vile stuff is still on sale where the poor man may read ily spend his “bread money” for it 4. Personal degradation (Isa. 28: 8)., “Vomit and filthiness” are not very nice words, but they describe accurately the ultimate condition of the drinker and his surroundings. The writer knows a young man who boasts that be never gets drunk because the “booze” makes him so sick that he vomits it up. Imagine a supposedly intelligent man drink ing stuff so vile that his stomach (evidently having more sense than his head) sends it back—and then boasting of his ability to drink morel .
