He recalled God's past good- ness to Israel after their deliv- erance from Egypt under Moses and rebuked them for their in- gratitude. As a sign .they had been wrong ,to demand a king, Samuel called upon the Lord to send thunder and rain that day. which was harvest time, and the Lord did so, confirming the

Undoubtedly the wars and vic- tories to which David refers pre- figure the Passion and Resurrec- tion of Christ, for he visualizes a remarkable Ruler, not’ only over the kingdom of Israel, but | over all men. This ‘Ruler over ‘ men™ can only be identified as the Him’“in whom all the na- tions of the earth were to be blessed.”
Again skipping several years, let us consider two other verses, I Kings 6:11-13, containing the promises God made to Solomon. If the people walk in the way of the Lord, God will dwell among them and not forsake. them both of which not only go back to Mosaic times, but are idg

Drinking Seen School Problem In Saint John
SAINT JOHN, N.B. ‘CP)— More Ahan 50 per cent of boys attending secondary schools in the Saint John area are drink- ing, findings of a special com- mittee of the YMCA here show.
The committee’s report just made- public. says “the problem of drinking is broad and deep-rooted in the commu- nity,” and the main reason for the high percentage of drinking teen-agers “appears to be a de- sire to establish a reputation with classmates.”
The committee. found evt- de’ of drinking among girls, alt! gh the problem is not as
s as with boys.
The report says liquor ts “apparently obtained with ease from parents” supplies. |!quor stores and taverns." Some teen- agers told the committee that bootleggers frequently attend community dznces and sell li-
‘{quor from cars.
The. report also savs that teen - agers clubs have been formed “for the sole purpose of holding regular ‘drinking par- ties. Parents contribute to this problem by allowing unchaper- oned parties to be carried on at summer camps and by leav- ing teen-agers to fend for them- selves while parents are away /on lengthy vacation.” | The committee says it was | told, pupils frequently visit tav- erns during the noon hour and no disciplinary action is taken by school authorities. The re- port indicates the drinking pron- lem is more prevalent among teen-agers of above-averace in- leome families.
The report was published tn the form of a leter to a Saint
John 7 on by YMCA President F . McLean.
