Drinking is by no means con-fined to the married man or to his sex. In these, "happy" days of repeal, in which it was claimed' drinking would be decreased, many of 'our mothers, sons and daughters 'are becoming habitual drinkers. What a pity! What a disgrace to society!

If this country fights, it will not be to save Britain, but to keep , our great nation from becoming a vassel state of Hitler's. This countrj is safe from an invasion, but if the Nazis conquer all of Europe, the danger will not be in invasion, but one of portable: internal dissension, which could easily happen if a severe de-pression occurrs in a few years'.

The crucial question confronting us is whether we intend to live our lives in'our own way -for our own purposes or be God controlled.

Let it be remembered that-the devil will let us keep our Bible School, Public Worship, and Train-ing Union going in full blast, if he can take our Prayer Service from iis.

."For the married jnan who cannot get along without drinks, the fol-lowing is suggested as a means of freedom from bondage to saloons:

Start a saloon in your own home. Be the only customer. (You'll have no license to pay.) Go to your wife and give her $8.00 to buy a gallon of whisky, and remember theft-are sixfy-nine drinks" in a gallon. Buy your drinks from j\o one but your wife, and by the time^that the first gallon, is gone .she will' have $32.00 to put .into the bank and $8.00 to start business again.

Should you live ten years and con-tinue to buy booze from her, and then die1with snakes in your boots, •he will have money enough to bury you decently, educate youd-fhildjen.
