BIBLE TEACHINGS AGAINST
DRUNKENNESS
1 Samuel 30:16, 17; Isaiah 281
1.4, 7; Galatians 5;19-21
GOLDEN TEXT. -Strong drink
shall be bitter to them that drink
it. Isaiah 24:9. -
Memory Verse: God is love. 1
John 4:8.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—The event recorded in
I Samuel occurred possibly '1056
B.C.; Isaiah 28 Was written not
far from '725 B.C.; Paul probably
Wrote his Epistle to the Galatians
in A.D. 58.
place...—The city of Ziklag has
not• yet been definitely identified,.
but it was somewhere south of
Gaza, in southern Palestine,
Ephraim is the name of that part
of Palestine which call be gen-
erally located in the central wes-
tern section of the Holy Land;;
here it is probably a synonym for
all of Samaria. Galatia was a
province in Asia, an area today
known as Asia Minor.
'And when he had brought him
down, behold, they were spread
abroad over all the ground, eating
and drinking, and dancing, be^
cause of all the great spoil that
they had taken out of the land of
the Philistines, and out of the
land of "Judah. And David smote ,
them from the twilight even unto
the evening of the next day: and
there escaped not a man of them,
save four hundred young men,
who rode upon camels and fled."
Providentially, an Egyptian
who knew the place to which the
Amalekites had fled, appeared
just at the time when David first
became aware of what had hap-
pened to his 'property and hie
wives, and guided them to the
place where these marauders were
drinking and carousing in cele-
bration of their victory. Discov-
ered in such a state, totally sur-
prised and unprepared, bewildered
because of their gluttony and
drinking, the whole Amalekite
host that had destroyed Ziklag
was destroyed by David and his
soldiers, Many a battle has been
lost for the same reason,
Abiding Beauty
"Woe to the crown of pride of
the drunkards of Ephraim, and to
the, fading flower of his glorious
beauty, which is on the head of
the fat valley of them that are
overcome with wine. Behold, the
Lord hath a mighty and strong
one; as a tempest of hail, a de-
stroying storm, as a tempest of
' mighty waters overflowing, will
be cast down to the earth with
the hand. The crown of pride of
•the drunkards of Ephraim shall
be trodden under foot: and the
fading flower of his glorious
beauty, which is on the head of
the fat valley, shall be as the
first ripe fig before the summer;
which when he that lookebh upon
it seeth, while it is yet in his hand
he eateth it up."
The union of two metaphors,
each separately striking, adds
double force to the prophet's
warning.... The proud crown or
garland of the drunkards, when
the spoiler has torn it from their
brows, and cast it on the, ground,
will be trodden under his feet.
Samaria, the glorious beauty or
ornament of Ephraim, would be
indeed like -a fading, flower, a
wreath withering away; and also
like the early fig, wlticlt drops
when the tree is shaken, and
which he who sees it no „sooner
sets his eyes upon than he devours
it with greedy haste,
Effect of Strong Drink •
"And even these reel with wine,
and stagger with strong drink;
the priest and the prophet reel
with strong drink, they are swat.
lowed up of wine, they stagger.
with strong drink;, they err in
vision, they stumble in judgment."
By the influence of intokicating
liquors the priests and prophets
were disqualified for the high
h I office;
holyfunctions of their and

nation wile eorrapt, • and was ex-
posed to the 'heavy ;judgments of
God. •
Work: of the' Flesh
works. of the
Flesh
"Now wthn
are manifest, whish, are. these:
fornication, . uncleanness, lascivi
oneness, idolatry, sorcery, enmi-
ties, strife, jealousies, maths,
factions, divisions, ',parties, envy
ing's, drunkenness, ,revellings, and
such like; ,of which:I forewarn
you even as I did forewarn you, ,
that they who peactise such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of,
God." This is the first time that
torose verses, so dark in their em...
umeration of the sins of men,
have ever appeared as 0 pert of
the printed tent ell the Interne.,
tional Sunday School 'Lessons.
And yet this passage is a pert of
ilia Word of, God, a very sober
pert of the Word of ,coil.. It is
•a word of warning, and it should
be heeded, The mere 'exltulination
• of this passage with some care
will how any heart before God,
•:asking for: cleansing when it is
conscious of being guilty of any
of these sins, asking, too, for
divine deliverance from inch and
all of them throughout the years
'that remain,
is, of course, to have eternal life.
It involves nil that is ever thought
of in the idea of heaven, of eter-
nal peace and joy, of a home
above in the presence of the Lord
Jesus Christ. To be shut out of
bhe kingdom of God means noth-
ing loss than to be• confined to
darkness and everlasting suffer-
ing. The text does itot say that
any one who has ever been guilty
of any of these Elias will never
inherit the kingdom of God, for
then all of us would be hopelessly
lost. No matter what sin any man
has been guilty of, the blood of
Jesus Christ Isis Son can ween
that sin or can make atonement
for that sirs and reconcile that soul
to God. What it does say is that
those whp practice and eontinue
in these sins, who persistently em-
brace them and indulge in them,
these will neves enter the king-
dom of God. There is a differ-
ence botWeen a man who lives in
sin day after day, and,a Christian
who h some sudden moment of
temptation falls into sin, only to
cry to God to be immediately de-
livered therefrom.

Huns Use Fiendish
Phosphorus Bullets
The Germane are using an ex-
plosive bullet that is treated with
phosphorus, claims the Windsor
Star. The purpose of the bullet
is to make a jagged hole and
spread the phosphorus through
the wound. The poison takes ef-
fect and there is enough of it to
be fatal, if it is not caught in
time.
The Iluns are masters of the
fiendish arts of war. They use
these poison bullets as part oil
their campaign to spread fear. If
anything like it ie used against
the Germans, Berlin squeals to
the heavens that Germany is be-
ing the victim of unorthodox pun-
ishment, -
The Germans used explosive
bullets in the last war, too. It is
the same old Hun, the same cruel
Bootie, who wants to conquer and
will go to any length to achieve.

"He's not so young as he looks
in the movies" ... this was the
opening remark made- by. Jack
.Benny when he recently was in-
troduced to some 14,000 soldiers,
sailors and airmen at the Exhibi-
tion Park Coliseum in Toronto.
And it drew quite a laugh. Yes,
it's true that Jack Benny tops
his six feet of easy flowing hu-
mour and merriment with a few
more grey hairs than most of us
imagine , .. but Jack says he has
earned every one of them think-
ing of hunlourous gags for his
radio listeners. Other surprises
were in that sparkling one hour
variety show he put on for the
boys. Airs. Jack Benny, better
known as Mary Livingstone of
poetry fame, proved to be a Olin,
g
olden hared, 5 ft. 8 inches of
vivacity and personality, obvious-
ly sharing her husband's enthusi-
asm over their recently celebrated
16 years of happy married life..
as Jack remarked, "That's quite
a reoord for Hollywood!"

SCOUTING ...
The value of Boy Scout train-
ing in first aid was shoavn to
good advantage recently at Galt,
Ontario. A group of Scouts en-
joying an outing on a farm near
the city were given an opportun-
ity to test their skill when a lad
fell from the roof of a barn, in-
juring his ankles. They used their
knowledge .of signalling to call
other boys from the • nearby
woods, and then while one boy
summoned a doctor, other boys
improvised a stretcher with their
coats and carried the injured boy
to the farm house, where prepar-
ations had been made to receive
him by a messenger sent ahead.

A Nova Scotia Scoutmaster,
looking over a picture of a group
.of his Boy Scouts, taken on a
camping trip a few years ago,
found that of 14 boys in the
group, seven are in the armed
forces, two are in war industry,
two are studying medicine at
University and three are still at-
tending school.

Out of a class of 48 hien who
sat for 'a higher rating examina-
tion for Sick Berth Attendants in
the Royal Naval Volunteer Re-
serve, the first three places were
won by men who had received
their first aid and nursing train-
ing in the Boy Scouts, a report
from London relates.
Jewish Boy Scouts of Sheffield,
England, have set up a good turn
service, carrying servicemen's kits
between the city's two railway
stations. The service was organ-
ized entirelj, on their own initia-
tive, and they take it in turns,
working
-to meet each
in pairs,
train and carry kits to the other
station.
Official reports from National
Salvage Headquarters show that
the Province of Manitoba leads all
others in the total quantity of
material salvaged on the basis of
population. It is not mere coin-
cidence that Manitoba Boy Scouts
have been among the most active
hi Canada in the salvage drives.
