The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1936-12-31, Page 3THE EXETER TIME^-ADVOCATE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1930 tool Lesson L1 IT ALL MEANS” kf our lesson is, “The ,Son state­ claim, true, HHH^^Hnes Man.” That a If claim ^^^^^^^vonderful and significant H^^HMllow, things that a great I^^Vus, no- doubt, have not yet Wjle to compass or to under- That the claim is true is the of the Church. The whole of system is built up on it. ‘But it is impossible to accept it as an article in. iour creed without being seized with its full significance and meaning. It may have been indeed, i that some -of those- who have insist- led most valiantly on the item in the ■creed have not had any very1 full and (practical appreciation of what was involved ini it, But that, aftei’ all, is a very imporant matter indeed. If the Son of God became man then it must be that there is some very intimate relationship' between divinity and humanity. If God was able to express His essential divinity through a human body which was in every way essentially human—and two things would seem to follow of necessity. First, there must be a kind of human side to God, and, se­ cond, there must be a divine side to humanity. If these two were able to come togethei' in one person­ ality, both natures expressing them­ selves in a true and -real fashion, then there can be nothing really alien between God and man, in a very real sense God must be the Father of the human race and man must be, ini the same very real sense, a son of God, And these two great truths must stand together, neither one being any' more true than is the other. That doesn’t say that a man may not ab­ rogate <h'is sonship, but it does -say ^that he icannot destroy the fact -of it. If, this be true, then all the fine thigj we may say about man’s possi­ bility,’ of development and growth up inlb divine likeness and goodness and love of truth rest -upon the sur­ est foundation. And it remains also that all we may wish to believe about God’s understanding of oui- human nature and His sympathy with it and readiness to help and comfort and strengthen it is just as true- and as well founded. Jesus, therefore, did two things He told us what God was like. In His own life and in His teachings He made clear to man­ kind for evetvwjmt God thinks about usN^M®j^’r he feels toward us. The /^5tnar thing He did was to reveal nus to ourselves. We are -often in- %line/l“ to think meanly and hopeless­ ly ,6f 'ourselves, but that wasn’t the / Ary t-h-at Jesus insisted upon. He Lf.lieved in men and had hope fox' them as no man that ever lived evei’ had. To Jesus, the GodJMan, man was created for high and won­ derful things, to be a child of God, to live in devotion to the causes of His Kingdom and find his high­ est joy and satisfaction in doing His will, living fox’ His glory and for the good of his fellow men. Unique among all men that ever lived Jesus gave man a hope for himself, the charter of divinity, the claim to be a son tof -God. W1NCHELSEA The Christmas concert of S. S.

U, The December meeting of the W« C. T. U. was held at the home of Mrs. Geo. Kerslake. Mrs. W. F. Abbott conducted, the devotional .period. She read the 14th chapter of St. John and repeated part of Miss Mary Digman’s address on peace given at the Assembly of the Deague of Na­ tions. She also repeated a very striking poem ‘'Youth Prays for Peace” which voiced the revolt of the young people of today against war. Several members led in .pray­ er. Christmas hymns were sung. The president, Miss Hartnoil, took charge ,pf the business and then con­ ducted the clip-sheet exercises in which questions regarding beverage alcohol were asked and answered. First: Is alcohol effective as a medi­ cine? Dr. Chas W. Eliot made this statement at a Board of Health con­ vention some time ago. “Recent ex­ periments on the effects of alcohol on- the nerves and glands of the human body have demonstrat d be­ yond a doubt, that alcohol invariab-, ly harms and never does any good in health or disease.” This stands un­ contradicted. Dr. C. H, Mayo, of Rochester, Minn., the famous sur­ geon, states “Medicine has reached a period when alcohol is rarely em­ ployed as a drug, being displaced by better remedies.” Dr. Haven Emer­ son, of New- York, says, "Alcohol causes a lowered resistance to com­ municable diseases and to infection; clinical experience is unanimous on these points.” Alcohol is in no case the specific cure for any dis­ ease, and the number of experienced physicians who prescribe it for fail­ ing heart action is constantly grow­ ing fewer. Second: Do moderate drinkers live as long as total ab­ stainers? A concensus of opinion of various Life Insurance Companies is decidedly in the negative. The New England Mutual Life Insurance Co. has recently made a study of the mortality of the abstainers and non­ abstainers over a period of several years and it was found that the mod­ erate drinkers had twice as high a mortality as the total abstainers. Charles iStelzle says: “No standard life insurance company will now ac­ cept as risks men engaged in the liquor business. Third; Is beverage alcohol a food? Alcohol has a very limited use as a food in that it can only serve as a fuel available for im­ mediate use. It can take no part in the creation, growth, building or re­ pair functions of food. Alcohol is in no sense under' conditions of health necessary o.r desirable as a food. It is almost universally ex­ cluded from the diet of athletes and of those whose work requires a high degree of skill, rapidity, accuracy or endurance. Chemists find that the fool value of beer and other alcohol­ ic drink is very small. The quant­ ity necessary to give nu-rishment to the body would be so large that it would act as a poison. Fourth: Oan you briefly outline the drug action of beverage alcohol? Ex­ perience and investigation support the conclusion that the effect of al­ cohol upon the human system is to depress or suspend its functions; that it is a narcotic drug. Not only so, but one of the greatest dangers of even its occasional use is it hab­ it forming tendency. The meeting closed with singing and prayer. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. M. L. Beavers. JOHN G. STEWART DIES SUDDENLY AI'LSA CRAIG—John G. Aewart, widely known East Williams Town­ ship farmer and cattle dealer, died suddenly Christmas Day, 10 days af­ ter his 13-year-old son had been killed in a hunting accident.

A Real Lady The taxi- driver charged with using violent language protested that the complainant—a woman— was "no lidy.” “Indeed,” said tihe Judge.
