School life was hard fllltl~ harsh in those days, and it was not‘ very enjoyable. For generations Gtorgcls people had been farmers, but somehow or other when George left school be- fore he was thirteen. he did not like to think of a long life spent toiling with the soil.

INTERMEDIATE SENIOR STUDY V NOVEDIBER Isl ‘ TIIE IIOUR OF YOUR CHOICE‘ l ‘By GEORGE A. LITTLE "The hour of your choice is the crisis in your destiny.” "What we noose is what \vc are." God is ronstantlyt challenging us to the we irl possession of enough facts to help us reach a decision as to beverage alcohol? The Bible can help us here. Al- most every section of the Bible gives warning against beverage al- collol. The patriarchal stories tell that: "Noah drank wine, and wits tlrunken," Genesis 9: 21. The Le- vilical» law gave this prohibition: "Do not: drink wine nor strong drink, thou, not" thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die? it shall be a statute for ever Judges we read: “Now therefore bcurare. I pray thee. and drink not wine nor strong drink and eat not any unclean thing," Judges l3: 4. The Book of Proverbs is very pro- llounced: "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and who- soever is deceived thereby is not wise,“ Proverbs 20: 1. "Be not among witie-bibbers: among riot- ous caters of flesh; forthe drunk- ard and the glutton shall come to poverty." Proverbs 23: 20. "Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who liazll contentions? who hath bab- bling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine: they that go to seek mixed wlne. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth ills color in the cttp, when it movcth itself nright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stiugetli like an ad- der,“ Proverbs 28: 20-32. "It is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink; lest they drink and forget, the law, and per- vert the judgment of any of the afflicted." Proverbs 31: 4, 5. Tile prophets are equally eln- vfiatic. ‘Woe llll'.(l them that. rise up early ill the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine in- flame them.“ Isaiah 5: 11. “Woe ililto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink," Isaiah 5: 22. “But they also have erred through wilic, and through strong drink are olit of tlic way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are ¢ ' ,"f'"‘:_ i FAREWELL T0 BA 0iiK Ai0 lIE l I He: luck ulml-aho lell miserable-no pep -b:I'|‘o cdouldn’! be ‘ " l are "lo goout- . , In! contact with In: t D , lriend: and wu lonely.

We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Re- chab our father commanded us saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye nor your sons for ever," Jeremiah 35: 6. “Wine and new wine take away the heart," Hosea. 4: 11. “Woe unto him that giveth ‘civiousness, lusts, excess of wine,i his neighbor m drink, that puttest thy bottle to him. and makest him drunken also,” Habakkuk 2: 15. Coming to the New Testament, we find it written of John the lhptisl, “For he shall be great: in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be’ filled with the Holy Spirit,’ Luke 1: 15. Paul ivritcs: “Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be filled with the Spirit," Ephesians 5: 18. “Let its walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunken- liess, liol. in chalnbering and wantoillicss, not in strife and en- vyirlg," Romans 13: 13. “Envylngs, and such like; of the which I tell you before, as I have alsoitold you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God," Galatians 5: 21., Peter agrees with Paul, "For the time past of our life may suffice. us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in las- i l"cvellings, banquetings, and i abominable idolatries," 1 Peter 4: 3." For Christians the word o Christ is final. Luke records our explicit warning from the lips of the master: "And take heed to yourselves. lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness,“ Luke 21: 34. Dr. Moffatt has trans- lated the verse in these words: “Ta-kc heed to yourselves in case your hearts get overpowered by dissipation and drunkenness.’ Christ spoke many other WOYChI urging control, “If thy right hand I offend thee, cut it off; If thy right eye offend thee pluck iii out." If any man will come, after me, let him deny himself i and take tip his cross daily, and follow me." All the warningsi against strong drink, both in thci Old Testament and the New, were uttered against beer and wine drinking, as the process of distil- ling hard liquors had not been discovered in Bible times. Authoritative books by scien- tists assure us that alcohol is a narcotic that depresses the higher brain centres; it is not really a stimulant. It is used less and less in medical practice. It does not in- crease, and sometimes decreases, the body's resistance to diseasei and infection. Its effects are best: studied by changes of conduct. It impairs reason, will. self-control, judgment, physical skill and en-‘ duranee. It is a frequent destroyer. of health, happiness, and mental stability. m use commonly short-I ens life and increases the death, rate. It is injurious to individual 1 and community health. Eye tests show that alcohol lowers efficiency. The superintend- ent of a publishing house remark- ' ed: "A successful proofreader has to be a. contortionlst. with his eyes." A sensible proofreadcr will not do anything ‘that will lessen reading speed. "A careful test in a labora- tory demonstrated that with a moderate close all the men engaged in the test were slower in begin- ning to turn their eyes by an aver- age of 15,6 per cent. In a. memory test without al- cohol seven was the average num- ber of errors in forty words. With alcohol the number of errors rose to twenty. In an ear test a man whose judgment normally -averaged 95 per cent. correct. after a small dose of alcohol was less correct in ‘eight minutes, lowered to 50 per cent. correct judgments at twelve minutes, remained at that point until twenty-eight minutes after the dose and then gradually im- proved.

Are you now ready to mnke your choice, a. very serious choice, a final and permanent life decision? Two strong motives urge to a de- cision for total abstinence from beverage alcohol. 1. Personal Welfare. Alcoholic beverages are harmfukand I may be one of those persons who can- not practice self-control. Model-ate drinking for me might lead to im- moderation and intemperance. There ls no need to run any risk, as so-called model-ate drinking is always on trial, and total abstin- ence will settle the question for me for ever as an individual. “Those who uphold the ideal of total BIJ- ztlnence insist that drink cannot be used moderately u shown by the witch-grass spread in society/T drinking and its degrading effects. The total consumption of alcoholic beverages must be lowered, they say, and the liquor traffic must be ultimately eradicated, and total abstinence is the way out." In this regard your personality develop- ment is in your own keeping. 2. 111a Welfare of Others. A Christian has a social responsibility fol-others, especially for the weak and those who are easily tempted. Paul wrote in his first letter to the Corinthians, discussing eating meat offered w idols: “Wherefore, it meet make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world atandeth, lest I make my brother to offend," Corinthians 8: l8. This ls the Christian way, t4) think of the welfare of others as we decide our own course of conduct. Eacht individual who practices tote! nb-i stlnence by force of example makes it easier fol- others to abstain. 1n- dlvfdfuil’ choices will in time lead to majority decision carpi-cued in social codes, votes and legislation. Will you right now decide for your own sake and for the sake of other: that total abstinence from beverage alcohol will be Your l“ long standard? Questions I. (a) Why dld the lltbf!‘ Dwphets" condemn i110 u" of beverage alcohol? (b) What is the teaching ' Christ about. self-denial n" self-control? I.
