The Effects of Alcoholic Prinks
Pb. 23:29-32; Isa. 28:1-4; Dan.
5:1-4.
Dee-aa yrreal - frooti- eeme -from
strong drink? This question will be
answered, as men are for or against
the use of it. Cut the sincere, ear
nest Christian has but one answer:
"Touch net, taste not, handle not."
(Col. 2:21). He plays safe; he does
not believe men that boast, "I can
drink or let it alone." As a rule, they
will not let it alone.
It is the business of every Chris
tian to fight this monster in what
ever form it appears. Strong drink
has been the ruination of men and
nations. Solomon, who wrote the
book of Provers, 1072 B. C, warns
against it. Isaiah, 755 C C, has
much to say against it; Daniel, 530
B. C, shows us a dramatic scene
Our scripture texts all show us the
harm done by strong drink.
I Bodily Harm. (Prov. 23:29-32).
Since the coming of national prohibi
tion and the strenuous and persistent
fight against that policy made by
those whose financial interests lie in
the return of the saloon, the political
aspects cf the liquor question have
overwhelmed all others.
It is well to get down to an old
fashioned temperance lesson, dealing
with the fundamental evil of strong
drink, the effects of alcohol on the
body and on the mind and soul, and
cn society. This is the more neces
sary because the disappearance of the
saloon fcr more than a decade has
caused many persons to forget the
harm it did in the bad old days, and
made easy converts to the spurious
arguments of the west.
These verses from Proverbs eon
rtitute the classic picture of the phy
rical injuries and ruin wrought by
drunkenness. The writer of Proverbs
answers the cix questions in v. 29
himself. They need no explanation.
These that remember the days of the
saloon know full well that the saloon
was the place where politicians gath
ered their henchmen and picked the
ticket to be voted on; then they
wcuid buy the liquor to get the en
tire crowd drunk; the outeome would
often be quarrels, fights, "wounds
without causa." The politicians try
to assure the country that they will
not have the saloon back. But to
legalize booze, you must have a place
to sell it in; what difference does it
make by what name you call the
place, the result will be the same.
Alcchcl blunts the senses and can
enly bring final ruin. Look on the
wrecks that are left from the old sa
loon days ; today they have to be sup
ported by charity; there are net
many left. Let us emphasize in our
teaching the bodily barm alcohol
brings to the user.

II Social Harm. Isaiah prophe
sied in Jerusalem but was well aware
of the dissolutness of the northern
half of the nation and its capital.
Samaria, and foresaw clearly the
doom which this evil would bring
upon that nation. He sees the same
evil growing up in Jerusalem and
knows that the same fearful results
will fellow there. The drunkards of
Ephriam will reap what they sow.
The Lord had already a mighty na
tion to handle, Assyria, who would
come like "a tempest of hail, a de
stroying storm, as a mighty flood,"
lay waste their land and lead them
into captivity. To such an end comes
the wine-bibber; in its wake follow
ill health, poverty, inherited tenden
cy toward drink, degenerate social
conditions and crime all these have
a direct relation to additional crime.
III Spiritual Harm. (Dan. 5:1-4).
The impiety of intemperance. These
four verses are the introduction to
one of the most dramatic scenes in
the Bible. We see Belshazzar at the
banquet with a thousand of his lords,
giving them an example how to drink
wine; and what a time they had.
Then a let of women are brought in,
when all shame and decency is cast
aside, and the orgy is on; all re
straint is forgotten on with the
dance' bring the golden vessels
(they were brought to Babylon by
Nebuchadnezzer, his father, from the
temple at Jerusalem) and all drank
from them; then they began to sing
raises to all the gods of gold, silver,
brass and iron, but emitted praise to
the one true God.
Such insulting and reckless blas
phemy could not go unpunished; ret
ribution overtook the king the came
night he wa3 slain. But before the
2nd came he Eaw the handwriting on
the wall a solemn warning but too
late. With the wine the devil got
into Belshazzar. So it goes with the
drinker of strong drink. Religion and
alcohol are absolute foes. There can
be no peace between them.
Strong drink is the deadly enemy
of the church of God. All churches
recognize this fact. As wine comes
in, holiness goes out. The fruit of
the spirit comes to a climax in tem
perance in self-cortrol.
If for no other reason, knowing
the immense harm dene by strong
drink, we should abstain from it, for
the sake of our weaker brothers,
even though we foolishly and mistak
enly think it can never harm us.
Many a mother's heart-cry has been,
and is yet:
"Where is my wandering boy,
tonight
The boy of my tenderest care,
The boy that was once my joy
.. and light
The child of my love and care?
O, where is my boy, tonight?

One of the Best Banks.
The Murray State bank which has
always been one of the very strong
est and most conservative of finan
cial institutions, opened on last Wed
nesday with no restrictions, as is the
case of many banks. Messrs. Boedek
er and Eoedeker have ever been care
ful and of making loans which are
safe, and which has kept the bank
in first class condition. During the
exercising of the greatest care in
their business they have ever had in
view the caring for the interests of
their clientele a3 well and have in
all cases where it was safe, extended
accommodations to the citizenry of
Murray and community surrounding
the town.

Hatchett on last Tuesday received a
wire from Mrs. Oscar Hatchett from
their home at Minataire saying that
Mr. Oscar Hatchett had passed away
at the age of 59. However much Mr.
James Hatchett would have liked to

not seo his way clear to make the
trip. Mr. Jame3 Hatchett has the
sympathy of his host of friends here
in this loss of his only brother.

ably done at that.
