Bush Says Religion Mended His Ways
President Alludes To Past Drinking
Thursday, October 30, 2003; Page A04

President Bush, speaking Wednesday night at a Christian youth center in Dallas, gave an unusually candid assessment of religion's role in leading him from his wayward youth.

"You've got to understand that sometimes, and a lot of times, the best way to help the addict, a person who is stuck on drugs and alcohol, is to change their heart," Bush said to a cheering audience at the Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. "See, if you change their heart, then they change their behavior. I know."

Though Bush often speaks of the importance of religion in his life, aides said it was the first time he tied his discovery of God so directly to his recovery from the heavy drinking and rowdiness that characterized his young adulthood.

Bush received a boisterous and enthusiastic welcome from hundreds of students, most of whom were black. Introduced by his friend Tony Evans, the senior pastor, Bush spoke with banners of the cross over each shoulder, one saying "King of Kings" and the other "Lord of Lords."

Bush stopped at Oak Cliff to promote his "compassion agenda" on his way to his ranch outside Waco, Tex.

Bush will stay at the ranch through the Halloween weekend, with a day trip to Columbus, Ohio, scheduled for Thursday and campaigning in Kentucky and Mississippi on Saturday.
