EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Bishop Herbert Spaugh “Fortune Recovered From Garbage Pit” was the head line of a recent news story from Athens, Greece. A stock broker there, Demetrios De- metriadis, did not trust banks to care for his wealth. Out of town for the New Year, he handed over a bag con taining gold coins, bank notes and gems worth more than $500,000 to his sister and brother-in-law for safe keep ing. They decided to go to a New Year's Eve party and tor some strange reason de cided to hide it in their gar bage can ia the case of burg lary. The next day they dis covered that their young daughter had given the gar bage can to a municipal gar bage collector truck, and it ended up in the municipal disposal unit, 10 miles from Athens. By the time they ar- tived there some 250 tons of iresh garbage had been dumped 'over the contents. For days the ccuple search ed through a mountain of rubbish despite a biting frost* and a snowfall. Finally they recovered the coins and later the gems. We call that a wonderful ircovery, but how much more wonderful to recover living souls covered up in the garbage of alcohol. I never cease to wonder and be grateful for Alcoholics Anonymous in its search for men and women who have fallen into the grabage pit of alcoholism. I call these mod ern miracles. One of the tragedies of modern living is the increas ing number of men and wom en who fall victim to alco holism and often gradually lose not only thair material possessions,' but also their families, and their own souls.) Members of Alcoholics Anonymous are men and women who have found heal ing from the dread disease through the power of God and the love of their fellowmen. Their chief aim in Ufa Is to* draw other alcoholics from the garbage pit. Their famous Twelve Steps are the pi ah of their new life of victory. The first step Is admission of their inability to control their drinking The second step is to admit to the Higher Power which can help them. The third step Is to yield their lives to that Higher Power, as they understand Him- This Higher l»vi »ev, which is another nafflT -for God, is their daily guide The 12th step Is their willingness to share their new spiritual ex- (MTience with other alcohol ics. In other words, they go cut and dig in the garbage pits. Some of you who read this column may be tottering on the edge of this garbage pit; 4 ethers may - have fallen in. Call your nearest Alcoholics Anonymous club room. There J are clubs in almost every city which can be reached by telephone. If you want a copy of these famous Twelve Steps, write to the Everyday Counselor in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long, self-addressed, saamped eh- velope. * i BUY A CARTON OF TAB AND GET ONE fflff WITH THIS COUPON v..» li % FREE CARTON OF TjjUl!
