Discovering why people drink
Genesis 43:34; Psalms 104:14, Is;
Proverbs 31:4-7; Ecclestiastes, 21:-
1-1O; Isaiah 55:12; I Corinthians
1876, 7, for Sunday, March 8.
This lesson considers certain rea-
sons why people in all ages have
resorted to alcohol in an attempt
to make life livable.
v. "a. "And he took and sent
messes unto them before him; but
Benjamin's mess was five times as
much as any of them; and they
drank and were merry with him. y
The reason for drinking as seen in
this verse is that it was custom /;
there is some excuse in following
custom when one does not know
any better as was the case here.
But with knowledge of the evil OF
drinking today, we ought to know
better than to indulge.
VS.. IA, Is. "He causes the grass
to grow for the cattle, and herb for
the service of man; that he may
bring forth food out of the earth.
And wine that maketh glad the
heard of man. And oil to make his
face to shine, and bread that
strengthened mans heart" Here
may be given the reason that God
made the things that enter into al
coholic beverages and therefore the
drinking of them is good. Food in
it's natural state is good. In fact
much food loses it's vitalizing ef-
feet when even cooked. The best
dietitians advocate the eating OF
raw food. Man can take the good
things of life and misuse or abuse
them and thus turn them into evil.
Intoxicants are abused foods; it is
a mistake that drinking makes one
merry--it only takes off the moral
restraints so that the animal part
is unleashed and the drinker thinks
he is free and happy.
VS.. At. "It is not for kings, O
Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink
wine; nor for princes strong drink !;
lest they drink and forget the law,
and pervert the judgment of any
of the afflicted. Give strong drink
unto him that is ready to perish,
and wine to those that be of heavy
hearts. Let him drink and forget
his poverty, and remember his mis-
cry no more" The reason implies
that alcoholic beverages are tonic
and that it energies. The best
scientists tell us that alcohol is not
a stimulant but depressant AL
coholic indulgence and heavy re-
sponsibility can not travel togeth-
er; indulgence units one for fur
ther hard work and strain. Drink
is no cure for poverty or misery
but the cause of much of it. Drink

SO perverts ones judgment that in
this machine age one under the in
fiuence of alcohol when handling a
machine is a great menace. If the
real facts were known as to the
automobile accidents, the accidents
attributed to drinking would be as
founding.
VS.. Ill. Il said in mine heart,
Go to now, l will prove thee with
mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure;
and behold, this also is vanity. l
said of laughter, 1t is mad; and of
mirth, What doeth it? l sought in
mine heart to give myself unto
wine, yet acquainting my heart
with wisdom; and to lay hold on
folly till l see what was that good
for the sons of men, which they
should do under the heaven all the
days of their life Here is implied
THAT drinking makes for happiness;
those who indulge in drinking be-
come boisterous, they want loud
jazz music; they talk as if wise
words are empty and meaningless;
the drinker declares he possesses
self control, but very often that is
mistake; too many think they can
stop with one drink, thus losing all
acquaintances with wisdom.
V. II. Come ye, say they, l
viii fetch wine, and we will fill
ourselves with strong drink; and
tomorrow shall be as this day, and
much more abundant The rea-
son here implies that there always
has been drinking and there always
will be SO why not indulge. 1t
might as well be said there has al
ways been murder and there always
will be, therefore it is right to mur-
der.
VS.. 6, 7. Now these things
were our examples, to the intent
We should not lust after evil things,
as they also lusted. Neither be ye
idOlators, as were some of them: as
is is written the people that sat
down to eat and drink, rose up to
play" The reason for drinking
here suggests that one must drink
to be good sport He is poor
sport who lives simply for the sat
isfaction Of the physical, leaving
out of account the need of satisfy
ing the spiritual nature. A drink
ing sport may be termed in time a
hog; we were created to live a lit
tie lower than the angels.

Only loose and left dangling by
the councils formal resolution was
the question of railroad under
pass, but in the revised program
that question played no part.
The new program, which seemed
assured of approval and possible
quick action by state departments,
would bring Highway 80 into El
Centre as at present. shift If on
Adams avenue to junction with
Fourth street, and carry 1t out of the
city on Fourth. Adams avenue woulc
be widened all along the route,
and Fourth street would be widened
from Orange avenue south to the
city limits.
FOUR MAN BOARD
The proposal, tentatively consider
ed Wednesday night, was acted up
on by a four-man city board Thurs
day, with Councilman Charles Brat
ton absent. The favorable vote was
unanimous.
Until recently, state officials had
seemed reluctant to consider the
Adams avenue project and the South
Fourth street project as one, but
a seeming change of heart made the
new proposal possible. said the
city's public works director, Walter
E. Heinecke.
The city, by the resolution passed
Thursday night and forwarded to
Wallace, agreed to furnish all rights
of way on Adams avenue except
for two, one at the location of a
sign company at Imperial and Ad-
ans avenues, and another where
lumber company's property cur
rently occupies the area which will
be needed to push Fourth street
through to Adams on the north, In
a sweeping curve designed eventual
ly to permit further extension of
the highway eastward.
On South Fourth street, the state
will acquire all rights-of-way need
ed for widening the thoroughfare,
using $4,000 now available in gas
tax money, plus $4,000 the city has
agreed to furnish from forthcom-
ing gas tax revenues. The city is
expected to give the state rights-of-
way on South Fourth, however,
where it adjoins a large bloc OF
property now owned by the munic-
ipality.
