Churches teach temper- ance for the people's welfare, 5;- cause they believe telnperexvce ls one road that leach to the Three H's — Health, Happfngg ‘m1 Heaven. “Well. what do the Canadian Churches say about this liquor question anyway?" someone may ask. One denomination, for ex. ample. has 0. Covenant for Church members to sign voluntarily in “"11"! they Pledge themselves not to use. nor offer to other persons, alcoholic beverages. Other denom. inations challenge their members t0 set a. Christian example o1 tom abstinence, believing that by IO doing they exercise a. more helpful example before others. Many sun- day Schools of these and other churches also have Temperance Pledge Cards which children and young people are asked to sign. Why Oppose Dflllllll‘ "But Why." someone asks, "does the Church oppose liquor drinking? Can't I take a drink once and a- while, without harming myself?" Well. here is what science says: "One of the first parts of the body to be affected by alcohol is the brain, the seat of judgment and decision." Moreover, it is known that even moderate drinking is in- jurious to the lining of the stom- ach, to the liver and other organs. The certain fact is that when al- cohol gets into the bloodstream it acts as a narcotic drug. The ner- vous system becomes at least tem- porarily prevented from doing its work properly, and if drinking is continued over a period of years serious permanent injury to the nersous system, results in such lila as insanity, blindness, and loss of muscular control. According to St. Paul, our bodies are intended to be temples of the Holy S-pirit. When we keep our bodies clean and wholesome and strong, free from the weakening effects of al- cohol, we hel/p to keep them fit for God's Spirit to live there. Moderate Drinking “But suppose I'm willing to take all those risks," says someone, "won't it be all riflhl» for me to be a drinker, at least moderately?" That might be true for a Robinson Crusoe alone on e. desert lsiand— although Crusoe met his man Fri- tliational Temperance Study Course 1947 OUR‘ THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN I flags of the liquor interests can- and observation. z The Money Spent Again. someone may say, "Peo- ple are likely to waste some money anyway, oi- spend some on luxur- 1C5. so it doesn't matter very much if some is spent on liquor." True a lot of money is spent on luxur- ies and wasteful goods. But at least many of these things are not injurious. Besides, think of the large amount spent on liquor as compared with other items. In 1945 Canadians spent for liquor almost six times as much as the total amount invested in all the Canad- ian Churches in the service of religion. In thousands of homes it means less milk and less educa- tion for children, more anxety, poverty and burdensome debt. "But the Church is chiefly con- cerned about people's moral spiritual welfare. Why then, should it be so concerned about lntem- perpnce?" Surely the answer is clear. Alcohol attacks man's con- science and his moral controls, allowing his lower instincts to iule his life. The power to make the noblest of choices is thereby seriously weakened; Home and Community Under the influence of liquor people are less able to distinguish between right and wrong. Chicago's Superior Court, 75 per cent. of the divorce cases have re- vealed that excessive drinking has been one of the major contributing lac-tom. It breaks down the har- mony and security oil home life. The religious apslrations are dead- ened in the soul for "it hardens all within" and “petrifies the feel- inge." The Churches are conscious of the moral ruin which the liquor habit brings to community life. The American Juvenile Protective Association reports: "The retail sale of alcoholic liquor has been, ' and still is, e. boon to most of the un- derslrable activities and enterprises of community life; whether the tavern has sought to ally itself with these activities and enter- prises of community life; whether the activities by way of least re- sistance allied themselves with the tavern is not the issue. The fact is that graft. political corruption, dishonest business practices, gamb- ling. delinquency, crime, prostitu- tlon, indecent entertainment ob- scenity, immorality and exploita- tion in various degrading forms are encouraged and enhanced by the tavern. It ls by these devious and unsavoury routes that taverns have become entrenched in the economic, political and social life 0f the city." A Christian Standard Christians desire to be obedient to Christ's greatest commandment which is to love God and to love neighbours as ourselves. We believe for the reasons and facts above mentioned, that this com- mandment calls on us today to ab- stain from the use of alcoholic beverages in any form. This is for our own sake. as well as foi- the sake of our neighbour whom we are called upon to love. Above all. if. is for the sake of Christ and His righteousness which we pray may reign in the earth. The Apostle Paul must have had this Great Commandment in mind when he wrote Romans 14: 21 "It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth. or Ls of- Iiay even there. But we live in l society among other people who in- fluence us, and we in turn influ- ence them. We also live in l. day of fast-turning machines. motor: cars, buses trains. Such facts re- quire that'our minds be wide-a-i wake, else the danger of accidents increases greatly. Alcohol is a dan- I gerous enemy to our safety- i Think these faots over. for ex-, ample.

"I'm a conscientious man and I'd like to feel that I was do- ing my duty by others as well as by myself, especially when times are so bad." "Quite so," said Mr. Mineshaft, "and while times are bad there is another reason for selling coal and coke. Every $5,000 you spend buy- ing them for your shop gives l. year's work to five and a. half people-to five men and a boy, to put it neatly!" "Excellent!" exclaimed Mr. Job- ling.
