LESSON FIVE NOVEMBER Dth

JACK AND JANE GO TO A FAREWELL PARTY

By Ruth Lucas smith

Sunday School was a busy place. Everyone was being promoted to new classes. Jane was delighted for one was to be in Mrs. Beckett's class. Everyone loved to be in her clue for she was such a good teach- :-. Mrs. Beckett had been teach- ing for several years, and her husband also had 9. class of boys.

Six weeks later the news came that the Becketis were leaving. Where were they going? Why would they leave now? Everyone wanted to know. They soon lcarii- ed that Mr. Beckett, who was a mining engineer, had accepted a position with the Government which was sending him to tiie Arc- tic by plane. Although they would live in a very small cominiiiiity, they were both very happy about the move. Mis. Bleckett said, "Just think! It will be almost like being a missionary We both hope to teach Sunday School. Illl write to you girls, and lPll you all about it. We shall not get mail very often cxcept iilicii ii plane goes in once a month. I hope that you will write to inc, too."

When Sunday School was over. both classes waited around to talk to the superintendent. They want- ed to know what iioiild happcii to their classes, and who would be the teachers. "Oh," said the super- intendent. "we will Iiiid someone else. Think how nice it will be for

their leaders. Mr. and Mrs. Beck- ett were both delighted, and told their classes how thoughtful the boys and girls had been in choos- ing these particular gifts.

The minister closed the even- ing with a readlngfrom the Bible. I-Ie mad from the' letter to the Ephesians, chapter 6 and verse 10: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord. and in the power of his might. Put on the whole arm- our of God. that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Verse 14, Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth. and having on the breast- plate of righteousness: and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace: Above all, tak- ing the shield"of faith wherewlth ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God: Praying always -for all saints.”

They all bowed their heads, and joined in the prayer: "Dear God, ive give thanks for this fine Chris- tian fainiiy. Bless these Thy child- ren as they go from us. Keep them faitiiful to Tliyself, and bless them in all their iiork. May we be true in Thy service, and continue to build the Kingdom of God. Amen”

When Sunday cainc there ii'c':e all kinds of suggestions. The girls thought of nylon stockings, llilllk- ies, a. book or perfume. suggested warm mitts, ties, a pen or a thermometer. After lnucli dis- zussion the girls decided to buy perfume. After all, Mrs. Beckett would be away from all ill('SL' lux- uries, and they knew she would like the perfume.

After they had voted, Sliirlcy questioned. "Do you think it good to give her something liquid that will freeze?';

"Oh. we discussed that at home," said Jane. "Perfume is made with an alcohol. and it doesn't freeze."

"Alcohol," they all cliorused. "Yes," said Jane, "all the shaving lotions and toilet waters have an alcohol base which makes them

The previous lesions in this ser Ilies have drawn attention to other ipliascs of this danger.

; The subtle and persistent manner ,in which the liquor traffic seeks its ivictinis, and builds up its markets lconstitutcs part of its danger, and lsuggcsts one lineyof defence. In- lvestigiitloiis have shown that a lgreat deal of drinking is the re-

of life. particularly as it relates to alcohol. Ask ycurself how you want the game to turn out, what sort of person you want to be five. ten and thirty years from now, and whe- ther alcohol can help you or is it likely to handicap you in reaching your goal.

Regarding the glamourizing oi the liquor traffic by subtle adver- tising George Bernard Sihsw, who had suffered because at his fa- ther's drunkennes. had some per- tinent things to say:

"If it. natural choice between drunkenness and sobriety were pos- sible in our civilization, I would leave the people free to choose. But when I see an enormous carpitalistic organization pushing drink under peoplels noses at every corner, and pocketing the price, whilst leaving me and otihers to pay the colossal damages, then I am prepared to smash that organization and make it as easy for a poor man to be sober. if he wants to, as it is for his dog."

Part of the subtle appeal (or per- haps temptation is a better word) is due to the fact that those who sell it have tied it up closely with sociability. Man is by nature a soc- ial being. I-Ie craves the companion- ship of his fellows. Realizing this fact those who operate the bever- age rooms or public houses have been careful to make the atmos- phere congenial for pals or cronies to meet and exchange views on the affairs of the community and the world while they drink.

lesson, it might be a good ject to make a survey of your com- munity to discover what oppor- tunities are provided for young- people. and older folk as well, to come together under attractive sur- roundings for companionship. What opportzimities does your uliiirch offer for good fellowship? In what respects might it be more hospit- able in this regard. That boy or girl is wise who links himself or her- self with companioiisliip groups under wholesome surroundings and with a constructive programme. Trailrangers, Scouts, Canadian Girls In Training. Guides and Young People's Societies offer such op- portunities. When one such

Studies made of the reasons why people drink alcohol have stressed the discovery that one of the com- mon causes is to get relief from some uncomfortable situation. A person may have suffered 1 be- TCEVCGITCIIE, and decide to drown his sorrow" in alcohol. A man may be shy in a group and find that al- cohol makes him forget himself and become the "life of the party." IOne's work on the assembly line in ,a modern factory may be monoton- ous and boring.

Alcohol used in -this way is ol- .ten referred to as a crutch. It is something folk lean on. Instead of solving his problems in an iiitclli- gent and constructive way, the

ldrinker escapes from them for a

time. But when the effect of the alcohol wears off, he is right back again to where he started with his problems unsolved. and with his ability to solve them diminished.

we tried to make rose water per- fume from the rose petals, and it Just went bad? Maybe we should have used alcohol instead of wa- sex."

The boys had decided on a tlicr- mometer. They were curious a- oout Arctic tempcratiires. and would like one for themselves. You know," said Jim, ' hermom- eters with mercury in them freczc at 40 degrees beloiv zero, so we must get one with alcohol in it.'

"Alcoholl" chorused the boys. "Yes." said Jack. "Alcohol docs not freeze."

"In that case," said Joe Merton. "it would be a. good thing ior Ml'. Beckett to take along a few bot- tles of whiskey to keep himself from freezing!"

But Jack knew better than that. "Anybody Mia has studied first- Iid." he said, "knows that liquor doesn't do that. It makes people feel warmer only because it sends the blood to the skin. But in cold tlimstes that cools the body so quickly that people who drink are in lreater danger of freezing than those who don't. It acts like the Dump in a car radiator and cools you down fast."

The boys agreed that while there were some good uses of alcohol, drinking it was not one of them. if people did not misuse the god things Good has given us, this would be 9. better world for us all.

The superintendent announced

, that the party would be held the

following Friday. People were appointed to buy the gifts. and to make speeches. Each class was asked to plan a game. The classes of Mr. and Mrs. Beckett went to- gether, and planned I. treasure hunt. at the end of ivhich the two gifts were found, and presented to

of a liking for alcohol. and that that pressure has been deliberately built up by clever propaganda. The Yale School of Alcohol Studies concludes that "60 per cent. of drinking is purely social." In ma- gazines, in newspapers. on motion picture screens and on the radir. the drinking of alcohol is glanioiiri- zed. Of course, the end resiilts. the police courts, the jails, the high- way accidents, the broken homes, are not shciwn. The next time you vieiv a drinking scene in a motion picture shoiv, say to yourself. "Till" scene may have been put in as a re- sult of the efforts of those who con- trol the liquor traffic to try W CW" vlnce me that it is popular to drink." When you come to it 9389, of liquor advertising in a magazine you are reading. raise the question in your mind, "What is the end result?"

A story was told in A recent journal about two brothers who went into a store to buy a ohess set. The store was described as one 4113:, carried the atmosphere of the Old World over into the New, and after the purchase was made the propietor offered to play I Rlme ,with each of the boys to show them mow to play. As tlhcy played. anoth- ler customer came in and stood beside them till they had finished. Concluding that the stranger was an expert. at chess, one of the boys asked him if there was any advice he could give them about learning the gains. "Yes." said the customer. "start at the end of the Kamt N' mm,, mm pieces as you want them to finish. Then play backward. Mid gmdy how to get them into that arrangement."

lstepping, or escaping from his pro- blem situations by means of an an- aesthetic. and that habit groi-is rapidly. It has been the undoing of many people. We grow in char- acter as we overcome our handl- caps. and solve our problems.

If you have a problem, face tip to it. Try to think out a solution to it. If you feel that you need -help, talk the matter over with someone whom you respect and trust. If you should suffer a great loss, face up to it too. Calculate how great your loss is: consider what resources you have for going on with; then plan carefully so as to make to most of what you have. In general make the best of the situation. This course means growth in character and person- ality. You will find that you don't need alcohol as a crutch.

This brings us to another power- ful factor in our defence against the danger of alcoholism, and that is religion. While it cannot be said that all members of Christian churches are total abstainers, it is true that one of the strongest bul- warks against the liquor traffic has been the Christian religion. Faith

and Siistainer of the Universe, but as the Father of each of us; and having that faith constantly renewed by public and private worship, has .in countless num- bers of cases left no place in life for alcoholic indulgence. The pages of Christian history are crowded with the experiences of those who have lived rich and satisying lives without the use of alcohol, and those who have triumphed glorious- ly over the most adverse conditions by strength of character. Genuine religion involves a sense of pur- pose in life, in each person's life. and that in turn involves the con- viction that each of us is respon- sible morally for his actions. Peo- pie have been likened to vines which never reach the maximum growth of which .they are capable until they find something around which to climb. The sense of divine purpose in life has given folk some- thing worth whie around which to grow in character and toward which to aspire. In the fulfilment of that purpose, some things have had no place. For Discussion
