Social Righteousness and the Strength of a Nation In a review of Hanson Bald win’s book, “The Price of Pow er,” Brigadier-General Donaly Armstrong wrote: “Man and not the machine, in spite of the im portance of industry in war, is still the artisan of victory. Mo rale has always been of greater significance than material things and the atomic age only in creases the importance we must attach to leadership and moral courage . . . We must realize our power, but we must compre hend the new responsibilities that that power inevitably brings.” These are the words of a soldier. But unless the na tion is ruled by justice is its morale going to be high. The profit motive unchecked by a regard for righteousness is the deadliest of dangers. A na tion ruled by it cannot hope to breed a race characterized by a high moral courage. America is not yet standing where Carthage stood, but we must beware lest the worship of Mammon lead us there. A Temperance Lesson Found in Our Text from Isaiah If America is to bring forth the harvest that God demands of her, must have citizens with healthy bodies and clear minds. Habits which weaken either are destructive to the community. The problem which arises fiom the use of alcoholic liquors is a pressing question. Americans spent in 1947 about nine billion dollars for alcoholic beverages. That is a large proportion of all our spending, and it means that the more or less habitual use of such beverages Is wide spread among people. When its effects on the nation are faced the sit uation becomes frightening. No one should begin drinking without knowing exactly what he is doing. He ought to know that he is taking into his system a chemical compound which has the immediate effects of dimin ishing his powers of judgment. It is a fact, scientifically discov ered, that alcohol at once affects the brain. A man with a drink or two feels more able and skill ful, is more self-confident, than he was before he took the alco hol into his body. He may jump | into his automobile and drive off with a fine feeling of superior ! control. But his reactions have | been slowed up, his power to i judged distances is lessened, he takes chances he would never think of taking were it not for the false confidence engendered by even a moderate dose of alco hol, and the probabilities of his getting into an accident are in creased. If people thought of all this before they decided to take just one drink, fewer drinks ; would be taken. Can any one af 1 ford to throw away any of his powers of self-control? The social consequences of the use of alcoholic drinks are ter rifying. Crime of every sort is connected in a vast number of cases with drinking. Vice and the resulting venereal diseases is linked with liquor. The traffic it self requires a constant policing which is costly and exposes the regulating authorities to the con stant danger of corruption. When we read about the large sums taken in taxes from the traffic we must always remember the ?ost to the country in damaged lives, in an attempt to control a business which always seeks to evade control, in courts and jails and hospitals and police head quarters. Do you really think that the monetary thrill which is all that any human being can get out of drinking is worth the risk? Cer tainly people who want to be Class A citizens will think a long time before they introduce alco hol into their bodies. r ON DISPLAY NOW Have Yours Personalized Boxed or Special Cards 1124-26 O street j Church News Quinn Chapel Staff Announced Announcement of Quinn Chapel officers for the coming year was made Sunday by Rev.

Zion To Have Revival For two weeks following No vember 6, an old-fashioned re vival will be conducted at Mt. Praises UN High Score Jackie Robinson Jackie Robinson, brilliant sec ond baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers, talked about the United Nations in these terms: “When a batter’s timing is right and there’s no hitch in his swing, the chances for winning the game look best. Right now, it looks pretty certain that the United Nations will be scoring high for world peace. But we’ve got to make sure that the U.N. doesn’t develop any hitches in its swing. That means we in the U.S.A. have to improve our swing, too. We’ve got to lick racial discrim ination and religious bigotry be cause these evils divide our coun try, and only a strong, united America can help the United Nations build world peace. Re spect for human rights is a funda mental principle of the U.N. When we work for equal oppor tunity for everyone in our own country, we are helping the U.N. fight for human rights all over the world.” Zion Baptist church here, accord ing to .its pastor, Rev. W.
