THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C, Cleaning A Copper Stand QUESTION: Can you tell me ol a safe way to clean a copper stand? It has floral designs on the legs. I would like to have some thing that wouldn’t be too hard to get out of the grooves. ANSWER: There are excellent metal polishes on general sale that you can use, and many brushes in a wide range of sizes that will get into the carvings of Roral designs. A simple way to clean copper is by wsehing with ordinary vinegar in which has been dissolved as much salt as will be taken up, followed by rins ing with clear water. You can make the solution into a paste by the addition of flour. If not well rinsed off afterward, the salt will further discolor the copper. Planning for the Future? Buy U.S. Savings Bonds!

DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm 25:4-10. Religion and Habits Lesson for September 18, 1949 I F RELIGION is not moral, it is a poor, flimsy, no-good'religion. If morality is not religious, it soon cracks. Religion has to be moral and morality has to be religious, or else both of them lose their excuse for existence. This, is not a new idea. It was in the Bible long ago. Our Psalms for this week are among those that bring out this truth: God j) r . Foreman i s interested 1 n how people live. He is interested in what they do seven days and seven nights a week; he is interested in their habits as much as their souls. Psalms 15 and 24 are so plain on this point that they need no ex plaining. * . • Churches and Liquor Don’t Mix T HIS truth, that right religion and right behavior are twins, lights up all of life like a flood light; but since this is our temper ance lesson, let us focus it more or less on one spot. It Is a sore spot: the drink habit. Why does the church make such a fuss about people drinking? Catholic churches are opposed to liquor In excess, and most Protestant churches are opposed to liquor, period. The movies have made the “binge,” the hangover, almost re spectable; but the church knows better. Why? Will the time ever come when the churches are not opposed to the liquor business? No, it will not; because the churches know what liquor does. The minister is usually the man (along with the lawyer and doctor and the sheriff) who has to pick up the pieces when drink gets a man or a woman and breaks up a family. The minister gets behind the scenes, he knows that some funerals would not have been funerals if it had not been for drink. The car that “went out of con trol,” the disease that should not have been fatal, the family quarrel that grew to hatred and violence —he sees enough of these caused by alcohol, to have no illusions about the stuff. • • • A Psalm in Reverse I F THERE is a single reader of these lines who imagines that religion is only a “matter of the soul” and has nothing to do with what people eat or drink, then let' him try a little experiment with the 15th Psalm. As it stands in the Bible, it is a description of the kind of man who can appear without shame be fore God—in short, of the religious- and-moral man. Now beginning with verse 2, take the Psalm phrase by phrase, and see how false and ridiculous it is if you try to make the description fit the man with the drink habit. “The victim of drink walketh uprightly, and worketh right eousness—”! Quite the con trary, he seems to be doing his best to ruin his own happiness and that of others. “The drunkard speaketh the truth in his heart”—! There is one truth he never speaks in his heart: I am a drunkard. The one thing the victim of alcohol never admits till it is too late (if ever) is the hold which alcohol has on him. “He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor taketh up a re proach against his neighbor”—1 • » • Contempt Is No Cure W ELL, read on for yourself. The slave to alcohol (and many a man is chained to it, who would feel insulted if you called him an alcoholic) certainly does not fit the description of the man whose life God approves. Bnt the Christian will by no means think his duty done merely by sitting in the scorn- er’s seat, or being an abstain er himself, or even by helping those who have fallen Into the pit. He will remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The liquor business has no con science. It sometimes comes out with pious remarks about temper ance—but it keeps right on adver tising, it knows no law but profit. The only whole-hearted workers for temperance will always be the people who make no money out of intemperance. And the most ef fective workers for temperance will be those who themselves, in all their habits, give examples in life of what they preach.
