However. there was another

CAN'T BE CHOOSY
An older person who badly needs
a job can no more afford to take
that attitude than can a young
person. When you're looking fol-
work you can't always get what
you want, or what you think your
brains and experience entitle you
to.
You often have to take what
you can get. The man who got
two jobs after being classified as
''unemployable" probably didn't
get the kind of jobs he started out
looking for. But he is employed,
and we'll enough employed so that
he can lend Uncle Sam a little bit

Proverbs 31:4, 5; Luke l:13-16
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, d. C.
A generation ago most people
believed in abstinence. Even those
who did not abstain from alcoholic
intoxicants themselves thought that
it was good thing for others.
and particularly for locomotive en-
gineers, signalmen, and railroad
employees in general, watchmen.
policemen, and all up on whom
public welfare and safety depend
ed.
Among American Protestants the
dominant sentiment and teaching
were undoubtedly strongly for abb
stinence, and among Roman Cath
Giles abstinence movements of the
kind fostered by Father Matthews
were numerous and vigorous.
Such movements among b t h
Frotestants ard Catholics are
widespread and strong today, but
che does not need to be a very
acute observer to realize tn t
among the public generally, and
even among church people, there
las been considerable reaction to-
ward lax views concerning the use
of alcohol.
Only in the worst of our liter
allure, and among the decadents
that such literature portrays, is
there the sentiment that getting
drunk is a defensible or a desir-
arie thing; but many people who
consider drunkenness a shameful
disease or a moral disgrace now
regard abstinence as an extremely
pur1tanical attitude, and in senti-
nlent and practice favor moderate
drinking.
Obviously all this puts the alb
stainer on the defensive. What has
he to say for himself and for his
case as a teetota1er?
He can say decisively what I,
as lifelong abstainer, have re-
peatedly said in these lesson COM
ments: that abstinence never hurt
anybody, neither the abstaine1
himself, nor anybody else. 1t is
doubtful whether that can be said
even for moderate drinking, par.
ticularly in an automobile age, for
the exact point of safety between
moderation and downright intoxi.
cation has never been defined.
The abstainer has the Bible on
his side. When important work had
to be done, or when fine leader.
ship was needed in worship, or in
times of national crisis, there was
always emphasis upon abstinence
from intoxicants.
One notes in the lesson the warn.
ing to Aaron; one thinks of the
Rechabites; of Daniel; of John the
Baptist; and of the many whom
God entrusted with great tasks.
