I will simply say, to begin with, that in the late 60s and 70s, it was my misfortune to have been what was called a "hippie". From the grips of the California drug culture and from the road- nverte MINI STEIN'S STUDY side as a vagabond tramp, Christ snatched me from the burning, and set me on the path of Christian Holiness. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO STOP DRUG ABUSE? History ileveals that legislators and governing bodies cannot stop it. We have found that civil laws, stiff fines, and jail sentences cannot. Lectures on cam- puses will, not stop drug abuse; neither will fearful nd over -possessive parenting. Why? Because drug abuse is sin, and no manner of human manipulation will ever stop the sin business. A person takes chemicals and foreign substances into his system because he is seeking deliverance from his unsatisfying existence. He wants to feel good about life. He is trying to fill a deep emptiness in his soul. He is hungering and thirsting spiritual- ly, and he is trying to meet that spiritual need in an illegitimate way. God created man with a hunger for the divine, a thirst for Christ; but without Christ, a man will seek comfort by other means. He may turn to the bottle, to immorality, or to big money and material possessions. He may turn to drug abuse, or a combination of these and more. Drug abuse is sin. It is just one more item of iniquity to add to man's already inter- minable list of wicked transgressions. If our young people ( yea, and older peo- ple ) eo- ple) do not know Jesus Christ in personal deliverance from the bondage of sin (and from the appetite for sin), then it is sure that they will find something of the devil with which they will try to satisfy their spiritual to Christ need. May I personally testify that I tried it all but found no rest until I made actual con- tact with the true and living God through the blood of His Son Jesus Christ. Genuine salvation still delivers the soul from the bon- dage and appetites of sin. Parents, your boys and girls are being in- fluenced daily by a class of people who care nothing for hard work, strong character, honest living, clean bodies, or Christian principles. Their young minds are being bombarded by blasphemous, satanic "rock n roll" music, which is charged with demons, drugs, and immoral filth. Dad, if your Christian life is not consistent with the Bible, you cannot help that boy who is grow- ing more secretive and rebellious every day. Mom, if you are not a clear channel through which the Holy Spirit may get to your child, then don't be sprprised when she takes less and less interest in personal hygiene, and more and more interest in slang, immodesty, and questionable friends. If parents are compromising clear Bible principles before their children, then they can expect nothing better than bad attitudes and bad trouble. It will be the godly life of the parent that will influence the children more than anything else to flee the snares of drug abuse, or any other character - destroying sin. I have known few people, very few, who ever kicked a drug problem without the help of Almighty God. But I have NEVER known a young person who was saved by the blood, love with Jesus Christ, and blessed in his own soul, who ever lowered himself to drug abuse. Drug abusers do not need sarcasm, anger, nor isolation; they need love, patience, understanding, and above all they need Jesus Christ and deliverance from sin.

The Evening Unit of North Street UCW has had some interesting programs this fall. In October, Edith Walker and committee members Edna booker, Ila Crozier and Edna Stephens finished the study on the South Pacific with the topic "Legends". These stories of some wonderful events handed down through generations, proved quite interesting. There were Legends of Creation, Family and Community and those of historic origin. it is hoped that this study will make members more familiar with one more part of God's world. An excellend worship service was prepared and narrated by Edith Walker, using a slide presentation interspersed with poems and comments. She portrayed a graphic picture of the autumn of life with its reflections and memories. Local lawyer Norman Pickell spoke on the interesting topic of "wills", something everyone over 18 should have.

Liz k'eltham, secretary, explained that the Baha'i teachings emphasize the need for this recognition of the oneness of the human family.
