'in connection with ihiS study they are bringing a temperance worker to the Sunday evening program on Jan. 23, They are anxious to interest others in the community in ' their, study. The M.YJF. members wish to pass fclong a message from Dick Thoriipson, 18-year-old college senior from Springfield, Mo., Who was elected president of the National Conference of Methodist Youth last fall. In Thompson's words, "If we will only think logically, we find these facts about drinking: It is not pleasure to drink; it is against the Will of God to drink; drinking is money and soul consuming, leads to the greatest tragedies of our day, and can transform any life, no matter how perfect, into misery arid despair once its mastery is recognized. If We will only think logically, we won't drink, Elut it is surprising how many values are warped in this day through our failure to think logically."
