I. The Importance of Preach

of preaching. 1t was part of His
program and method Of work. He
told His home folks in Nazareth
that He had come to preach the
acceptable year of the Lord. God
had prepared the way for Christ

of preaching in the synagogue
service. The preparation for the
Gospel message has been too Of

that gave Jesus and the apostles
their opportunity to begin their
ministries. 1t is we'll for us to
understand that when they preach

its roots in the Old Testament. At
Nazareth Jesus preached the truth
taught in the passage from Isaiah.
Because the Jewish preachers had
failed to discover it was no rea-
son for Jesus keeping silent.
Jesus did much preaching in the
course of his ministry. and by it
reached the hearts OF the multi
tudes. There must have been
something tremendously vital in
the preaching of Jesus. He spoke
out of an authority of an inner
life, for all true preaching springs
from within. Jesus had sounded
the depths of spiritual life, and
knew Heavenly things; from His
divine knowledge there came a
message glowing with the love Of
God. The word has not Outgrown
real preaching and naver will. De-
spite the demand for the snort
sermon, it is noticeable that when
q message from a burning heart
comes the hearers are no, sensible

2. The Kingdom of God.-We
pause but Il moment at this point
to consider this most important
subject. The Kingdom of God was
the theme Of Jesus preaching,
and should be the theme of all

DIR. FISHBEIN TELLS HOW ~
WHISKEY AFFEC TSM01ORlST
Ed;ter.Physician Says Even Small Amounts OF Aicohoi
Impair Mechanical Skill And Intelligence; Slow
.. in Wearing Off

,.motoring problem is coming W oI
&c threatening as in the Unlteo
States, authorities feel that 1t IS
lust as culpable under the present
crowded conditions for men TO
dive motor cars while drunk as 1t
wouId be for an engineer to at
tempt to run a train while under
the influence OF alcohol.
When the question was refer
red to the Medical Research Coun-
ell, it brought out the opinion
that the direct effect of alcohoi
on the nervous system IS, IN ali
stages, and upon all parts OF the
system, to depress or suspend us
functions; that it is, in short, from
first to last a narcotic drug. .
This distinguished body OF
scientists felt that alcohol lea
many persons to take rists and TO
make rapid decisions less luaic-
iously than they would otherwise
DRIVERS DELUsIoN
The taking of even small
or,ounts of alcohol was found TO
impair both mechanical skill ano
intelligence and to reduce speed.
interestingly enough, the person
concerned always feels that he is
doino better than normally. The
committee found that alcohol, IN
amounts of two or three ounces
of whiskcy, is very detrimental
to rapid and accurate co-ordlna-
ton. and will invariably deprec-
late driving ability.
The most recent scientific re-
port, that of the British Medical
Association Committee, pointed
out that it is almost universally
agreed that the first effect Of al
cohol, and the effect of the small
est doses, is upon the higher func-
tions Of the brains.
When alcohol is taken into the
body, it is eliminated slowly. The
body oxidizes it at the rate OF
about one ounce Of whiskey an
hour. This rate is not increased
even when the concentration OF
alcohol in the body is raised by
drinking larger quantities. The
effects persist and may be re-
sponsible for a motor accident
long after the alcohol is first ia
ken.
IF DRIVER is SAFE"
How are you to tell when
person is intoxicated and unable
to perform suitably in a motor
car?
A very simple test is to ask
him to touch his nose with fin
ger of both the right and the left
hand. Ask him to take key, walk
across the room and unlock q door
and then bring the key back.
In this way you may learn
whether walking is normal and
straight, whether there is fumbl-
ing with the lock, and whether
the person can turn without be-
coming confused. Ask him to talk
or read and see whether ne slurs
his words OF stumbles in reading.
These simple tests will fire.
quently determine whether it is
safe to let him drive. If not, make
up your mind not to ride with
him-and stick to your decision.
Today the number of deaths
from motor vehicles is greater
than that Of suicides and murders
combined. More accidents take
place during late fall and winter
than in summer and spring, even
though motor cars are used less
during the winter.
1t behooves us, therefore, to be
careful during Novem-
Der, December, January and Feb
ruary.
More boys and girls were killed
last year by automobiles than died
Of diphtheria, scarlet fever, or
typhoid.

Rv DR., MORRIS FISHBEIN

editor, Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association and Of
Hygeia, the Health Magazine:)
Almost 10000 peoole killed and
nearly million injured every
year! That is the toll of motor
accidents in the United States of
today. '-r e." 1'' .. ..... ..
The greatest menace in this
reign of slaughter is the drinking
driver-not the drunk, mind you,

as extensive experiments conclus-
lively show. g.
When your car is. moving at a
speed of 60 miles an hour, you
are travelling SO feet second. A
person reacts in about one-tlfth
second to what he sees or hears,
psychologists reveal. That is known
as the reactiVe time.
When the mind is controlled by
alcohol, this time may be slowed
to two-tifths second, or even much
slower.
If you lose one-ffth second in
deciding what. to do, you have
travelled Is feet, OF So feet il you
lose two-ffths second. Either Of
these distances may mean the Diff
ference between safety and Grip
ping or death.
EFFICIENCY LOWERED
In Milwaukee, a doctor tested
the effects Of small amounts OF
alcohol on a number OF people to
determine what the alcohol would
do to their minds.
Each was given about an ounce
of Whiskey. Every one suffered a
loss Of efficiency.
Even when apparently able to do
work more rapidly, ne
did so at the expense Of accuracy.
In another experiment device
was used to measure the time that
elapsed between signal and the
of brakes. Four Ounc-
es Of whiskey was given.
Those who had this amount
were able to pass the ordinary
tests used to determine drunken
ness, and were able to perform
adequately the routine actions III
volvcd in driving, but they were
not able to do rs well in avoiding
obstacles placed in the road, back
inc the car and using the emer-
gency brake, rather than the foot
brake.

! TEACHING THE LESSON
To make this lesson effective
. its thought and arrangement
should gather around the sermon
in the synagogue at Nazareth. The
background and setting for. the
lesson is unsurpassed. The text
ties the sermon to the Old Tesla
ment, and the sermon itself sets
forth the thoughts, plans, and
purposes that filled the great low
ing heart of Jesus. Through this
lesson we should draw very close
to the personality of our Lord
General Questions-Locate Ma
zareth. How did Jesus come to
be in Nazarath at this time? What
had He been doing Immediately
before this? What experience had
! come, to Jesus since He left Ma
zareth? What was the text of His
sermon? In what astonishing way
did He discuss the text? How did
the people feel about the sermon?
What turned them against Jesus?
In what way did Jesus specially
offend them? How did Jesus es-
cape their wrath? How dossyou eX-
plain this? How does the Sabbath
in Capernaum differ from that in
Nazareth? Why did Jesus refuse
to remain in Capernaum? What
would have been your feeling to-
ward Jesus had you been present
at Nazareth? What if you had
been present both Sabbaths?
