PASTURE CARE
One of the best ways to gel
more feed and get it quickly is
to give more attention to per
manent pastures, according to
E. D. Alexander, Georgia Ex
tension Service agronomist. From
all reports,Georgia farmers have
sowed twice as much acreage to
pastures this year as the year
before. Also, there are in this
state about 1,600,000 acres es
tablished in previous years. To
get the most from these areas
now and in future years, it will
be necessary to fertilize, lime,
cut weeds and bushes, not over
graze or under-graze, control
erosion, keep good plants in mix
tures, and keep surplus water
removed.
i FEWER MORTGAGES
Increased mortgage payments
by farmers have reduced the to
tal farm mortgage debt in the
nation to the lowest level in 25
years, according to U. S. De
partment of Agriculture officials.
At the same time demands for
loans to purchase farms showed
a continued decline in the Fed-,
eral Land Bank system during
the first three months of 1943,
with other farm mortgage lend
ers noting a similar trend. Ac
cording to the Farm Credit Ad
ministration, 40,997 land batik
and commissioner loans were I
paid in full during these three
months. This compared wit
only 20,223 loans repaid in th 1
same quarter a year ago.

BIBLE TEACHINGS ON THE
COST OF DRINKING
LESSON TEXT Deuteronomy 21:18-21;
Proverbs 23:20, 21; I Corinthians 6:9-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—Know ye not that the un
righteous shall not inherit the kingdom of j
Cod?—l Corinthians 6:9.
Billions of dollars—how many we !
cannot say—make up the annua! cost
of liquor to America in dollars and i
cents. Terrifying as it is, that stu- 1
pendous waste is but a drop in the 1
bucket compared with the moral and
spiritual degradation, the sorrow and
suficring, the poverty and distress,
which must be added into our liquor
bill.
For it is not only a matter of dol
lars, but of blood and tears, or de
stroyed usefulness, lost virtue,
wrecked homos, and so on and on
and on. We go right on paying the
bill, allowing ourselves to be misled
by clever propaganda, and skillfully
manipulated statistics—or it may be
our sheer indifference. When will
America awaken!
Our lesson faces us with the cost
of this despicable traffic in the life
of the individual to the social order,
and in the light of eternity.
I. The Personal Cost (Deut. 21:
18-21).
Liquor destroys individuals relent
lessly, rapidly, and effectively. Have
we forgotten that fact?
The passage in Deuteronomy pre
sents a drastic remedy for a dread
ful situation. Drink and gluttony
were recognized as the deadly in
strument which would bring a boy
to the place where he was incor
rigible. Stubborn, rebellious, and
I disobedient, his parents were to
bring him to the elders for a final
j judgment.
If one thinks the penalty too harsh,
he must remember that it was estab
lished in the early days of Israel
| when it was necessary for God to
| use such drastic remedies to stamp
! out incipient evil.
It must be remembered that in
ancient Greece weak children were
! left out to die, and in Rome a father
| could at will put to death even a
I grown up son.
The point of this scripture for us
is that a life of debauchery (and it
■ can start with just a glass of wine)
leads to the ultimate destruction of
life. It is far too high a cost to pay
for a sinful indulgence.
11. The Social Cost (Prov. 23:
20, 21).
Drunkenness and gluttony lead to
poverty and rags. The intemperate
man cannot keep up with the high
cost of supplying his growing appe
tite. Even as he tries to satisfy its i
insatiable demand, it also renders ■
him unfit to earn a living.
So the vicious circle works its
way around, and stops not until the
drunkard tatters otf in his rags, un
less perchance some loved one or
friend takes care of him.
Do we not all recall how families
in our own communities have been
ruined and become charges upon the 1
county or charitable organizations
because of the destruction wrought
by a father who was a winebibber.
Not only docs it bring poverty
upon families, but it reduces able
and gifted men to shambling wrecks
| and thus deprives society of the
| benefit of their lives and service.
A present-day illustration is the
unsolved problem of absenteeism for
i days after pay day in our essential
i industries. Again we say the cost
! is altogether too high; let us get rid
of this monster before it destroys us!
111. The Eternal Cost (1 Cor. 6:
9-11).
Money lost is serious. Life lost is
far more serious. But the saddest
cost of all is the eternal damnation
of the drinker’s soul.
We quote from Dr. Horace Martin
these stirring and meaningful words:
, “It is my calm judgment that any
man who names the name of Christ
should take an attitude of horror and
disgust at the liquor traffic and the
use of liquor as a beverage. There
are at least three places in the Now
Testament where the Bible says that
no drunkard shall inherit the king
dom of God.
“If any man fakes that statement
seriously he must think twice be
■ fore he refers to the use of liquor in
a joking manner, or in any way con
dones the use of alcohol as a bev
erage’’ (Lesson Commentary).
Drunkenness is a foul and sinful
thing, classed by the apostle Paul
I with the lowest of human vices. Re
view the list as it is given in verses
9 and 10 (and by the way notice the
other sins mentioned there), and
i place drunkenness in its proper
| classification.
Call it what it really is—sin, and
then call on the One who can save
from sin. You will then be washed
from your sin, sanctified, and justi
fied in the name of the Lord Jesus
(v. 11). In Christ there is hope for
the drunkard. A spiritual revival is
t the real answer to the liquor prob
.l lem. Let us seek to promote it even
t as we at the same time give our
-51 selves to an intelligent and construc
; tive battle against this destructive
, force in the life of our nation.
