They ought to find their selling job comparatively easy, since almost everyone agiees the convention wil! be highly profit- able to the city. Conventions, others, are a much sought, after. com- Key West otght to get a American Legion or modity and larger share. After all, a convention is more a mat- ter of entertainment than it is of business, no matter how seriously the leaders of the organization may plan it. The convention goer attends largely because he wants to get away from his home town for a few days and relax in different surroundings among a group of people whose _ interests are more or less in common with his own. From the standp roundings, Key West ha int of different sur- sa_ selling point | which carn be equalled by few other com- munities. Instead of moving from one rather standard model city to another one just as standard, the visitor to Key West is xoing into something unlike any other city rin the world. 8 People here are-friendly and are -ac- ;customed to letting one, another do ju: ; about as they please. It makes a good at- | mosphere for a convention and a successful ‘handling of the American Legion affair will make good word of mouth publicity for ' other organizations selecting meeting place. a PRESIDENTIAL LORE George Washington first in- augurated on April 30, 1789, at Federal Hall, on Wall street, New York, his second inauguration was in Philadelphia.

Lesson Text: Habakkuk 2:15; Genesis 4:9-12; Mark 9:42-48; I Thess. 5:22 As has been the well, beginning with our lesson for this week. The four temperance lessons | this year concern four important aspects of the subject. The first ‘deals with an individual's respon- sibility regarding beverage alco- hol, the second the responsibility of the home concerning this evil, the third the responsibility of the | organized church toward bever- age alcohol, and the series closes with a discussion of the respon- sibility of the community and civie authorities on this question. All in all, this ought to be an in- teresting and informative series of discussions on this very im- portant matter which affects’ sin- gle community in our land. Of course, we cannot attempt a discussion of the responsibility of others toward this subject until we definitely and finally decide just what our own responsibility is. Because our bodies are the ' “temples of God” whom we are, * anything that we do that may de- | stroy our bodies is a desecration of our “temples”, and is, there- fore, a sin. ‘Surely no sane per- son can argue that the drinking of alcoho! will not, eventually, de- stroy one’s ‘body. | Doubly sinful, however, is he who encourages another to drink for the deliberate purpose of caus- ing intoxication to another. The iwords of the Old Testament | prophet Habakkuk ring out in de- |nunciation of such a one. Quoting | from another writer, who para- phrases the taunt song of Habuk- kuk thus “Woe unto him that distiNs and brews alcoholic bev- erages that he may fatten his purse by that which degrades mankind! Woe unto him that sells the stuff and shuts his eyes to the consequences! Woe unto him that prepares the alluring ad- vertisements to induce others to drink! Woe unto him thet pub- lishes newspapers and magazines | whieh carry such advertisements! Woe unto him that uses the ra- dio to slip his noxious announce- ments into unsuspecting homes! Woe unto him that in the name of hospitality offers a narcotic as a social drink! Woe unto him (or fer) that serves the innocent Jooking cocktail which awakens the craving for alcohol! Woe un- to him that votes for the sale of liquor that business may be stimulated! Woe unto him that tolerates the sale and taxation of liquor that he may escape heay- ier personal taxes! “The individual, who for any sdvantage or reason, is responsi bie for inducing. directly of indi- 7:45 rectly, others to drink alcoholic will make this beverages, is responsible for sup- custom | throughout the years, there is a lesson dealing with some form of } temperance every three months., This will be true during 1941 as. The most common argument |heard against the using of one’s ‘influence against the sale and use \of alcoholic liquors is that we are not to interfere in another's “per- sonal liberty”. How weak an ar- gument this is! If we were to see a friend about to be bitten by a ‘deadly snake, wouldn’t we ery out a warning? Certainly! There would be no question of his priv- ‘ilege of walking where he want- ed to—we would do our best to keep him from such danger. The ,Christian who loves his fellow- men is duty bound to do all he can to protect him from him- self. “Am I my brother’s keep- er?", By all means, “Yes”, | Are we responsible for our in- ‘fluence? Are we to refrain from jdoing anything which to us is not ‘harmful because that thing might prove a stumbling-block to a weaker brother? Or, should we \go our merry way, doing what we want to and like to, with nev- er a thought of the effect of our actions upon our fellowmen? Whether we want to believe it or acknowledge it, or not, the fact remains that no person is with- out his influence, good or bad, upon others. Jesus had this in imind when he warned against causing humble people to stum- ble (Mark 9:42-48). Paul accept- ed the power of his influence when he refrained from doing ‘what might prove to be harmful in its effect upon others (1 Cor. 8). We hesitate to contemplate the price which so-called “high s0- ciety” is going to be called upon to pay for “setting the style” in alcohol-drinking which has led and is still leading many people who follow their lead down to de- struction and early graves. Isn't it @ pity that our society leaders \couldn’t use their immense influ- ence for the uplift, rather than ithe destruction. of their fellow- imen?
