DISCOVERING WHY PEOPLE
DRINK BEVERAGE ALCOHOL
LESSON TEXT—Genesis 43:34; Psalm
104:14, 15; Proverbs 31:4-7; Ecclesiastes
2:1-3, 10, 11; Isaiah 56:12; I Corinthians
10:6. 7.
GOLDEN TEXT—Wine Is a mocker, strong
drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived
thereby is not wise.—Proverbs 20:1.
The alcohol problem receives at
tention in four lessons of each year.
This is the first one for 1942 and
brings before us a number of scrip
tures not often used, in order to
suggest the drinker’s reasons for
drinking. Other matters appear, but
we shall limit ourselves to present
ing these reasons, together with the
Christian answer to each one.
Why do men drink?
I. To Be Sociable (Gen. 43:34).
At the banquet prepared by Jos
eph the allowance for Benjamin was
greatly increased, and they “drank
and were merry.” How often that
has been the plea which has led
into drinking and into drunkenness.
The “social glass” has often led to
the drunkard’s grave.
Well, surely God wants us to be
sociable. Yes, He does, and the
perfect provision for man’s social
nature is found in Christian fellow
ship.
11. To Be Happy (Ps. 104:14, 15).
Wine is supposed to bring happi
ness, and we may admit that it
does bring a temporary lift which
some call happiness. But who is
satisfied with happiness? It depends
entirely on what “happens.” If the
wrong thing happens we are un
happy. We need a deep abiding joy,
and only a right relationship to God
can give that.
111. To Evade Responsibility
(Prov. 31:4, 5).
When life’s burdens become too
much for him the weakling seeks
relief and evades his responsibili
ties in the deadening power of alco
hol. But that doesn’t solve the prob
lem. It is still there when sobriety
returns, and usually more serious
than ever. What can a man do? The
answer is, turn to God. He gives
wisdom, grace and strength.
IV. To Forget Sorrow (Prov. 31:
8).
“Drown your sorrows” is the de
ceptive promise of liquor; but they
stand right there beside man, and
when his poor befuddled head be
gins to clear they present them
selves more persistently than ever.
What’s the answer? The God of all
comfort is ready to bear man’s sor
rows or to give him grace to bear
them and to lead him out into a
place of peace and victory.
V. To Forget Poverty (Prov. 31:
7).
Heavy is the affliction of poverty
in a world of plenty. Sometimes it
is the result of carelessness or of
sin, but often it is the lot of those
who are innocently caught in its
grip. Men have tried to forget, to
“drown” even this problem in drink,
and have only made their poverty
worse and more unbearable.
VI. To Find Satisfaction (Eccl.
2; 1-3, 10, 11).
The book of Ecclesiastes gives
the account of a man “under the
sun,” that is, apart from God’s
guidance and blessing, seeking to
satisfy the cravings of his heart in
many ways. All of them prove vain,
including the effort to find it in wine
and in pleasure.
Frustrated souls often seek re
lease through intoxicants. They gain
a measure of liberty and a sense
of masterful power, but it is all as
delusive as the dreams of grandeur
of the insane. It is even worse, for
it is a false condition, deliberately
created and soon lost, together with
lost character and decency of life.
The morning after brings only the
deepened despair of greater dissat
j isfaction.
VII. To Stimulate Hope (Isa. 56:
12).
I A certain fearful looking forward
I to the time of judgment tends to
I dampen the drinker’s enthusiasm.
So he drinks more to reawaken in
his heart the “hope” that tomorrow
will not bring reckoning, but will
be another “good” day. The world
has no real hope, in fact, the word
itself has lost its true meaning and
indicates only a sort of wishful
thinking. Is there any real hope?
Oh, yes, and the Christian has it,
hope that is a confident expecta
tion of the fulfillment of God’s every
promise. That kind of hope takes
care of tomorrow—and all the to
morrows.
VIII. To Encourage Play (I Cor.
j 10:6,7).
Paul warns against the folly of
| the “eat, drink, and be merry” phi-
I losophy. That road ends in disaster.
Does not God want us to play?
Indeed He does. He gave us the
| instinct for recreation. We need
| pleasant relaxation, and He has pro
! yided for us all the beauties of na
ture, all the pleasures of wholesome
play, and all in the finest of fellow
| ship with His people and with Him
| self. Thus we find real recreation—
not just fun that leaves us empty
: and dissatisfied.

Kathleen Norris Says:
Don’t Marry Army Beau Haste
(Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.)
A man, who is almost a stranger to the girl, returns home. Perhaps he has been
wounded in mind or body. In the years of adjustment that must follow this war he
may not be fortunate in finding his place, for a while anyway.
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
THE problem of whether a
girl shall marry her sol
dier before he goes away,
or promise to wait for him and
marry him when he gets home
is a very serious one. And, as is
usual in marital questions, it is
a matter about which one can’t
generalize; everything depends
upon the girl’s character, and
the man’s, and how long they
have known each other.
In 1917 a young woman of my
acquaintance was deeply in love
with a certain gallant swain, and
they were to be married before he
went to France. Her father and
mother persuaded her to make it
a rock-bound engagement instead,
and that was the understanding
when Bill went away.
Both being persons of honor they
met when he came back in Decem
ber more than a year later, with
the engagement still valid between
them.
But after a few days they mutual
ly confessed to changed feelings,
and Betty, with infinite relief, found
herself free to marry an older
man whose friendship had come to
mean everything in the world to
her in the 18 months of separation.
Bob shortly followed suit by marry
ing a demure little French girl for
whom he sent immediately. And
both marriages have proved emi
nently successful, with friendship
maintained all ’round.
This wouldn’t have been the case
if Betty had insisted on the week of
thrill and marriage and farewells
that was all she could have had in
the war year.
Shifting Affections.
There were many tragic cases of
shifting young affections in those
years; the girls who had only a
few days or weeks of wifehood to
remember discovered that theirs
weren’t real marriages, no adjust
ing and growing to know each other
was included, and consequently it
was hard to regard them as bind
ing.
So my answer to scores of girls
who are asking me now whether
to marry their army beaux is,
“Wait.” Of course there are ex
ceptions; girls and men sure of their
own feelings, anxious only to have
their little hour of happiness before
the war clouds thicken. For these,
marriage under any circumstances
is safe. But sometimes what actu
ates the girl is the glamour of the
new man and his new uniform, and
the determination to seize this hour
of life anyway, no matter what to
morrow may bring.
Tomorrow comes. A man, who is
almost a stranger, returns home.
Perhaps he has been wounded in soul
or mind or body. In the years of
adjustment that must follow this
war he may not be fortunate in find
ing his place, for a while anyway.
Or perhaps he has seen somewhere
the other woman, the woman he
really loves.
On the other hand, what does a
girl lose by waiting? She gets to
work, as all girls must nowadays;
she writes her soldier letters full of
cheerful nonsense; she sends him
boxes of the things he needs. And
if by chance some other man comes
along, and her maturer affection
goes to him, at least she is much
better off, in writing an honest letter
to her man in the army, than if
she were his wife.
“Dorinda” is an undeveloped,
shallow, fickle little creature of only
COUNT THE COST
Are you sure that you will
love him as much a few months,
or a few years, from now? Are
you sure that if he comes home
weary and discouraged you will
be able to heln him find his
place in a changed world? Are
you sure that if he comes home
sick or wounded you will be will
ing to nurse him back to health
or cheerfully face the fact that
he will always be an invalid? If
you are, then by all means marry
him now and seize those few mo
ments of happiness to which you
feel you are entitled. If not —
WAIT.
18; she married a navy man in Octo
ber, had just three days of honey
moon. She wrote me this letter in j
December, and it has made me
somewhat thoughtful.
Regrets Hasty Marriage.
“Mother and Dad think I am very
bad to want to have dates and go
dancing,” her letter says. “But I
am too young to sit knitting socks
with all the old women! Nat told i
me to have a good time and not
mope, when I was crying my eyes
out saying good-by, and I am sure
if he thought that way other people
ought to let me alone!
“But here is the thing; I met an
Englishman last month who is my
ideal of a hero. He is in the 8.A.F.,
was wounded and cannot fly again,
but he is going back to England
after a six months’ rest to go into
the ground service.
“Life with such a man would be
one long thrill. There is not a girl
here who is not crazy about him.
From the beginning, however, he
seemed to pick me out as his
especial friend, and he is at the
house quite often. He is 17 years
older than I am, but my father and
mother heartily like him, too.
“My father was born in England,
in the same place Sidney comes
from. Sidney is divorced and has a
little boy of 12; his former wife lives
in Hollywood and he went there to
see her; apparently they are still
friends. But I am sure that if I
was free he would want me for his
wife, and while I hope I am too
sensible to ask poor Nat for a di
vorce, I hardly know how to handle
the situation, for Nat may be at sea
for months, and I would like to say
something definite to Sidney before
he returns to England.
An Extreme Case.
“My feeling for Nat was that of
a child, pity and affection and ex
citement and the thought of being
married on my eighteenth birthday,
which I had always planned. But
what I feel for Sidney is the deepest
and truest emotion of my life.”
Although I devoutly trust that
there are few American girls capa
ble of writing such a letter, it does
present an extreme case of the dif
ficulties that attend a sudden, war
parting wedding, and girls who are
wise enough to look forward more
than a few weeks might learn some
thing from it.
In Europe engagements always
have been longer than they are with
us; one meets over there wives who
cheerfully admit waiting three
years, five years. One happy Eng
lish wife, engaged in 1913, did not
hear wedding bells until 1919, but
when she did hear them they
were real wedding bells, and her
dignity and courage and patience
have brought her a rich reward.

PRACTICALLY all motion pic
ture and radio stars are doing
everything they can to help in
this time of national crisis. Dor
othy Lamour sold more bonds on
that recent trip of hers than any
one else in the country has so far;
men like Bob Hope and Bing
Crosby are giving much of their
free time to playing benefits. Con
stance Moore was all set for a tour
of army camps, singing songs from
her various films, when an impacted
wisdom tooth kept her home. Re
covering from that, she acquired an
infected toe, but went ahead any
way.
Fred Waring has succeeded in
keeping his contribution to the
armed forces’ entertainment out of
the newspapers—but if you’ve a man
in the service who’s in or near New
York pass this news along to him.
Twice a month Fred gives a party
at the club rooms which he main
tains for the men in his band. He
gets his guests from the service
clubs, taking the army, navy and
marines in turn. Wives of the
bandsmen whip up marvelous re
freshments, the band’s camera
fiends take pictures, pretty girls are
on hand as dancing partners.
The other day Joel McCrea
donned five different sets of makeup
to make tests for five different roles
which he plays in the brief prologue
JOEL McCREA
of “I Married a Witch,” in which he
appears opposite Veronica Lake. But
for the main role he needs practical
ly none!
Franchot Tone goes very, very
athletic for the first time in “Highly
Irregular,” in which he co-stars
with Joan Bennett. He has a rous
ing fight with a pair of Gestapo men,
also hurdles over tables and
benches. Result so far—one sprained
tendon.

Gladys Swarthout’s radio and con

each by Lloyds of London, the
American insurance company which

aren’t allowed to assume this type
of risk. Not that it’s such a risk
—Miss Swarthout has missed only
one radio engagement in 10 years
of broadcasting.
A year and a half ago Major
Rowes introduced Walter Williams,
04-year-old singer of Irish folk tunes,
on the air. In a lonely cabin in
Alaska, Arthur Williams heard his
brother’s voice. Arthur had left
home in 1907, had been declared
legally dead in 1917, He packed up
and started East, finally got to New
York and was reunited with his
brother—thanks to the major.
