Bible School Sunday April 18th "The Effects of Alcoholic Beverages" Con. 13:13; 19:23-2."; Dent. 32: :;i : rrov. 23:29-32. This is not a pleasant theme to study. This is one phase of sin that has been a curse to the human race for thousands of years; it has caus ed Clod and all righteous men much grief and sorrow. More murders, troken homes, poverty, divorces, loss of friends, position, character and manhood are laid at the door of dri:ik than to any other cause. All this is known to sober, thinking' r.ien; hence the indignation of the foes of liquor .when the best effort that could be devised (prohibition) was repealed and the bars were let i'owh and the "slaughter of the in nocents" is on. Strong drink and drinking will have to answer for "7,000 dead and hundreds of thous i;r.i!s maimed and cripples, some for life, in one year. The analogy be tween the people of Sodom and our race is very striking. We ask: "What vas the besetting sin of the Sodom ites?" One word will describe it: INDt'IIEXCE. That this is not un imaginary rase. v. v eal! attention to the fact that it. is attested to by five of the O. T. prophets, twice by our Lord, by Paul, refer and John in Revela tion. (We omit scripture passages . The question naturally arises: '"Why did Cod punish these people and not nil that indulged in harm ful thing,??" The original plan of Clod was to destroy five cities (Sod om. Com. .rial;, Admah, Zeboiim and Belah or Zoar. U:S. Zoar was not flout rVfft Itrifi'iiiOn I ..1 ..... ...1 : . a city of refuge. God i:$ long-suffering, but when the cup of wickedness in full and men will not "quit their meanness" nor repent, it is then that God oteps in and removes the stumbling block the contagion to save others. The utter destruction of the above cities should be ample warning that God means what he says: "The soul that sinned shall die." (Ezekiel IS: A). The northern end of 'the Devi eea is the place where these cities stood. Our generation turns away from the thought expressed above and stresses the idea that God is Love; and that is the very reason that he will establish examples. "Re member Lot's wife" is one warning sign. If God would not punish sin, where would hi3 justice come in? lie is holy, pure, he cannot condone Bin. This event took place 1904 B. C. The book of Proverbs was written about 1000 ii. C. Solomon is its author, although other writers con tributed. Solomon saw the effects of indulgence of strong drink and the picture he paints is a very dark one. PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA Neb., as second-clas mail matter shown in the course each year and the cost of maintaining it has been continuing without the support that it must have. The land owners feel that the course, which covers several acres, should be able to return a revenue and If there is not . the interest and demand shown by the community, the land will again be placed back in farm use as it was prior to the cre ation of the golf club. It will require, several hundred dollars to keep the club and course functioning and those who are pri marily Interested in its continuance should be present at the Thursday meeting.

This is an oft repeated story, but it bears repeating because of man's forget tulness. lie has to be reminded over and over until he has .learned the lesson. Every victim of alcohol is an answer to those questions in some form. Where the above questions were directed to men in their time, we r.:rst go a little further and include the women of today. Prohibition was not a perfect measure, but had our Government enforced the law like it has enforced the law against possession of gold (who is laugh ing?) the country would be bone dry and the safety of the road would le assured. The cry was, "The law cc nnot be enforced" think of the law about gold. Much cciuld be gained iT the gov ernment would redeem its promise and pledge: "The saloon shall not come back" and "Dry territory shall be protected." Neither of these two pledges and promises has been kept. May wo not look for some catastro phy and calamity to visit our nation because of its perfidy? May a long suffering God have mercy on our na tion! There is hope even for this nation if it will listen to the following' "If i::y p'-cple, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, u:k1 seek my face and turn rnnu their wicked ways; then will 1 hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land."

Miles of Yale University de clares: "Alcohol interferes with learning becauso it ncrrcssariiy dis turbs the mental process of limiting and organizing neural responses; the- influence of alcohol tends to diminish effectiveness." (Neural de rangement of the nervous system, with depression of vital force). Alcohol on Automobile Driving Dr. Miles, above quoted, says: "The c'river represents the absent-minded, much introverted individual, found l.y tests to be accident prone." Alcohol and Athletics Coach Alonzo Stagg says: "A drinking man has not clear sight, and the athlete has to have it; he has not full ca pacity of his nerves, and he has to have it, because he calls upon every particle of stuff that is in him to produce in the particular sport he is in." The only safe way is: "Touch not, taste not, handle not." (Col. 2:21). Laughing Around the World With IRVIN S. COBB The Careful By IRVIN R.
