Alcohol Brings
Pain, Violence
During the recent holiday period, many families experienc-
ed pain, shame, and violence because of alcohol. This is a
drug of choice that seriously affects 18 million Americans and
cost billions each year. It robs families of joy and happiness.
It wrecks the health of its victims by irreversible brain-cell
arma ge; and often causes heart, liver, and stomach pro-
ems.
Among the nation’s adults, 67 percent consume alcohol
regularly, according to a survey by a major insurance com-
pany. Thirty percent of high school seniors admitted they had
tried alcohol by age 13. The most common alcoholic beverage
is beer; and most children start drinking beer out of their own
poitigertor Our nation’s Capitol, the District of Columbia,
has the largest per capita consumption with an annual rate of
5.34 gallons per person. Utah, with its large Mormon popula-
tion has the lowest rate of alcohol consumption.
In other days, most pastors and Christian leaders spoke out
often and clearly against the evils of alcohol. It is a dangerous
drug and should be treated like other addictive drugs. The
pulpit has largely become silent; and TV extols the glamor of
alcohol. According to the ‘Journal of Studies on Alcohol,” 78
percent of all prime-time TV entertainment episodes contain
references to the use of alcohol. Sixty percent show
characters drinking alcohol.
This drug has gained respectability in social circles, the
business world, and even among religious people. It is time
the church, home, and educational institutions take a new
look at this destructive drug in our society.

THE LOVE OF GOD DAZZLES US
WITH THE BEAUTY OF WINTER
When the colors of autumn have started to fade
And the brightest of stars are aglow,
Come the storms of the season in endless parade
Of the wind and the spiraling snow;
While suspended from branches, the icicles form
When it plummets to zero degrees,
Then the rays of the sun at the end ot the storm
Show the beauty adorning the trees.
At your service of worship come in from the cold
And resolve that this promise you'll keep:
To give thanks to the Lord for a sight to behold,
Of the white world of winter asleep.
—Gloria Nowak
Announced by all the
trumpets in the sky,
Arrives the snow.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The snow from heaven
..watereth the earth,
making it bring forth
and bud.”
—Isaiah 56:10
