Mrs. B. J. Reese
Hostess to Circle 1
Monday Evening
On the evening of Monday,
January 15, Circle 1 met in the
home of Mrs. B. J. Reese with
Miw Lillie Grace Frost as co-
hostess. Eleven members and one
visitor, Mrs. H. C. Boyd, were
Mrs. O. H. Howard, chairman
of the circle, conducted the bus-
iness session.
Mrs. B. J. Reese served as lead-
er for the program which was
titled, “Alcohol and Christian Re-
sponsibility.”
The scripture selections, Psalms
164:1-4, Romans 14:10-21, were
read by Mrs. Van Hook Stubbs.
The hymn, “Guide Me, O Thou
Great Jehovah,” was sung by the
group.
The program discussion center-
ed around the church-wide study
In this field which was held in
1961. The program for this meet-
ing emphasized facts which were
brought out in the study of the
alcohol problem.
“Each local church should be
interested in such a study be-
cause the problems created by
alcohol affect everybody in the
church, the community, the na-
tion. What affects people is a
part of Christian responsibility.
“Parents and educators should
he alert to bear positive Christian
influences. If I wish my child not
to drink at 15, he must begin to
understand this at five years of
age. ,
“Out bodies are given to us by
God and wes hould use them as
such. They cannot be fit temples
of God when a person is intoxi-
cated. We should be stewards of
all of life and we are not being
fair to God or ourselves when we
waste our spiritual, mental, phys-
ical and material resources by
drinking.
“There are ethical and religious
reasons for avoiding the use of
alcohol. Acts which damage the
body or mind deny this relation-
ship with God, since they prevent
a person from being his best self
and from carrying out his respon-
sibility to serve as an instrument
of God’s will.”
At the conclusion of the pro-
gram the group repeated the
Lord’s Prayer followed by a dis-
missal prayer by Mrs. W. F. Eck-
hardt.
Participants on the program
were: Mrs. Reese, Mrs. Howard,
Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Sims, Mrs. Wil-
son, Mrs. Eckhardt, Mrs. Strange,
and Mrs. Fuqua.
