Reasons for Abstaining from
Alcoholic Beverages
(1) To be loyal to the Lord we
must abstain. An example of
God’s disapproval was he said to
the sons of Aaron, “Do not drink
wine or strong drink when ye go
into the tabernacle of the congre
gation." They were consumed by
fire for disobeying God.
(2) To see clearly we must not
become intoxicated for drink ruins
and distorts our perception, and
wo are not capable of discerning
between right and wrong.
(3) In order to be at one's
best he must be an abstainer.
Strong drink dulls and debases
one’s personality. “He that shall
be great in the sight of the Lord,
and shall drink neither wine nor
strong drink and shall be filled
with the Holy Ghost.

"Everlasting Punishment”is subject
of Lesson-Sermon which will be
lead in Churches of Christ, Scient
ist. throughout the world nex1
Sunday.
The Golden Text is “Let Israel
hope in the Lord; for with the
Lord there is mercy, and with him
is plenteous redemption” (Rs. 130:
7).
Among the citations which
comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the
following from the Bible:
“Let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his
thoughts; and let him return unto
the Lord, and he w'ill have mercy
upon him; and to our God, for he
will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah
55:7).
The Lesson-Sermon also in
cludes the following passage from
the Christian Science textbook
"Science nad Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: "The destruction of sin is
the divine method of pardon. Di
vine life destroys death, truth
destroys error, and love destroys
hate. Being destroyed, sin needs
no other form of forgiveness. Does
t not God's pardon, destroying any
I one sin, prophesy and involve the
j final destruction of all sin?

From where I sit .Y.
Jbty Joe Marsh
Bill Burry was reflecting back
on the last war and what the
boys used to do when they got
a furlough.
“We weren’t a hard-drinking
bunch particularly, but that was
in Prohibition,” said Bill, “and
forbidden fruit always seems
worth goin after. We’d hunt up
a bootlegger, which was easy,
and buy a bottle.
“So, instead of a beer or two,
well I guess we generally drank
too much! . .. wonder what the
boys are doing this time?”
I got out the official report the
Office of War Information made
and read him this: “The fact that
there is vastly less drinking
among soldiers in this war may
stem in part from the sale of
beer in camps.”
From where I sit, it certainly
doesn’t look as if we had to
worry about our boys. We
learned our lesson in the last
war, and I’m glad to see we’re
on the right track now.
