Brock, who cities indicated an average of 304 customers per day in each tavern, and that 53% of these customers imbibed enough alcohol during each tavern visit to impair safe driving. It was pointed out further that liquor-by-the-drink means more social pressure on young people, and more crime among all ages. Furthermore, it was noted that package states, like South Carolina, have an av erage of 2,711 alcoholics per 100,000 population, whereas in states where liquor is sold by the drink the average of alcoholics is 4,110 per 100,- 000. This most definitely means more family prob lems, more accidents on our highways, and greater costs to our con munity. For these reasons the Asso- .ciation expressed itself as be ing unalterably opposed td 1 the proposed amendment. CLINTON-JOANNA ' MINISTERIAL ASSN. A. L.

McEwen Lumber Company, Plaintiff, against Raven Homes Inc., doing THE. WORLD'S MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE Read Colossians 3:12-17 Put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. (Ephesians 4:24. RSV) Nowadays one often hears the use of the term “public [image.” Public relations departments are granted ever-in- | creasing budgets to develop the proper image. Business is [very much concerned. Even countries want to create a fa- [vorable impression overseas. It is a matter of constant ef- [fort. Everyone, however, would agree that if a favorable public I image is to last, there must be a direct relationship between [the image and the quality of the product. For example, [when the quality of a manufactured article declines, the pub- [lic immediately registers a complaint and the sales drop. As Christians, we are commissioned to be faithful ambas- Isadors of Christ. When we within the church fail to live up ■to the demands of our faith, those outside the church soon ■realize that there is too little relation between us and the lideals we profess. Representing Christ is a challenge which ■demands that in thought, word, and deed, we portray His ^likeness. It demands that we constantly probe our conscience and measure ourselves by His teachings. PRAYER Help us, O God, to avoid hypocrisy as we dedi cate ourselves to Thee and and to Thy purpose for ns. Give us the power to accomplish the task Thou hast assigned us. In the name of Christ Amen.
