FROM THE MINISTER's:s,TUDY
.BY CAPTAIN GRACE I'IERBER
SalvItj•pn Army
Are we becoming . an in-
toxicated generation,of people?
The first thought may come
into your mind that `I don't
drink alcohol!'" But isAhat °the
only thing which can intoxicate
us today? Fro.m the • Rook of
Isaiah we read this 'They
become drunk, but not with
wine; they stagger, but not with
strong drink.' (NASB)
•Webster's dictionary say's,
this about intoxicated 'to ex=
cite 'or 'stupefy by alcohol or
narcotic :,to the ,point where
physical and mental control is
markedly diminished; to excite
or'elate to the point of en-
thusiasm or frenzy.' t'
Out of control, ,that is -what
intoxication is. Does this mean
we can be intoxicated with ••-••
intellectualism — materialism
—, and social status???
We
have.had the thinking for
the past several years that if
people knew if they' were
educated then' we would be far
better off. What has education
done for the soaring rate of
marriage breakup? What has
education and intellectualism
done for the greater number of
emotionally disturbed children
and adults?
I'm not saying education
isn't good...but it must be kept
in its proper place...it is not an
end in itself. .
The western society is more
affluent...has many more com-
forts than any generation
before us •and yet we still must
cope with the `have nots'.
The- fact that we have more,
materially, has nota• soled the
problems of our youth. The
problems seem to be becoming
more in number and variety. So
materialism hasn't solved any
problems so much as created
more and new ones.
Where does the answer lie for
the ,problems of „life? Have we
gone out of control of ourselves
and the 'world we live in?
In Isaiah 29 the prophet was
describing a generation which
had made its god things and
possessions and they were out
of control. They had put things
first and taken God out of their
lives.
The answer would come if
they turned again to God with
their whole heart and served
him, `Trus t in the Lord with all
thine heart: and lean not unto
thine own understanding. In all
, thy ways acknowledge him
(God), and he shall direct thy
paths.' Proverbs 3:5,6

denly at his home September

born in Alma Township Sep-
tember 16, 1904.. He came to
,Goderich-in. 1g13 and was an'

--High = expectation gripped
1,791 Jehovah's Witnesses and
their friends Sunday as .they, .
waited` to' hear Keith McCann
outline. to them what the Bible
indicates the near future holds
for all mankind.
Mr. McCann,, District Super-
visor of Jehovah's Witnesses,
speaking from the platform of
the Orangeville District Secon-
dary School, commented about
the present concern of all per-
sons. He went on to showhow.
some of. these vital concerns
come home to us in the form of
inflation, 'short food supplies,
war rumours, and .,dangers• to
health and safety.
McCann explained that the
Bible_has_ much tosay about
the future. He ot•itLined four
basic developments` that will af-
fect all persons: (1) That '
nations will cry "Peace' and
security",' 'signalling this
world's • destruction; (2)
Aroused by some development, ,
the political elements of this
world will turn on organized
religion, which the Bible calls
"Babylon the Great", and
destroy it; ().,,Christian 'ser-
vants of Jehovah God will be
attacked . viciously through
Satan's visible -means; (4) This
will bring Jehovah's
displeasure and 'the final
destruction of the remaining
opposers of God's Kingdom at
Armageddon.
McCann . advised his,.
audience • to learn of God's,
protective means through a
careful study of the Bible; for,
as he put it, "The future is
bright for those who love and
serve God. It means their eter-
nal welfare in a paradise earth,
which will soon be a reality for
;residents of -this earth."
Theprogram of the- semi-
annual Circuit Assembly
provided opportunity for 28
new ministers to be baptized:*
Baptism -to Jehovah's Wit-
nesses means the outward ex-
pression of one's dedication to
