WHAT WILL YOU GIVE HE?1 ''And I Will Deliver Him Unto You." WILL WHISKY TRAFFIC PAY If ?he Hellish Lquor Laffic E\er Flourishes in Lexington Coumy it Will Do So at the Expense of Her Boys, Sayeth the Preacher. "Then one of the twelve, called Judas Ircariot, went uuto the Chief Priests, and said unto them, what will ye give me, and I will deliver hira unto you? And they covenated with him nior?pfl nf silver.''?Matt IUI UUUby t/?vv?v xxvi: 14-15. Paul spoke for his time and for all times when he said, For *the love of monev is the root of all evil. Perhaps it would be fairer to put it as the revised version does, for the love of money is the roor of all kinds of evil. Not every specific act or estate of 9in is directly tracable to the love of money, but many of them are. This love is fbe rco: of all kinds of evil. But money gotten by evil methods never pa}\ 111 gotten gain curses the man that gets it. It pays neither iit this world, nor that which is to cou-e. It ofcen curses the generation that gets it; most certainly it will to the third and lourth generation following. Take some instances in sacred history: Achan, contrary to GodJs command, took the Babylonish garment and wedges of silver and gold and on account of his sin, Isreal suffers - -i ziafaah hofnrp* Ai. and he is 3 bustiuciui .?7 pat to death. He got the money, but he got it wrongfully, and it was a oar*.e to him and all Israel. It didn't pay. Another instance: Gehazi, ?lisha's servant, by lying, obtaim d two talents of silver, and two changes of garments from Nasman, Captain of the host9 of the Kin* of Syria. But, as a curse, G;d transferred to him Naaman's leprosy. . It, didn't pay. Take the instance of the verse* of this heading. Judas loved money. When a woman performed one of the most unselfish and loratli deeds on rto .r \ viz ; tVi* <f anointing the blessed Master with au alabaster box of precious ointment, he snearingly asked, "To what purpose i3 this waste. For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to ? " \Tji<ihpr said in refer- 1 law pour. J-UV ence to thi3 comment, "This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare (stole) what was put therein. " (The modern word, especially in dispensary circles, is "graft.7') Then comes the climacteric test of Judas' character. He was cue of the chosen twelve. He had received many favors at the Savior's hands, being made the treasurer of that little band. But the time came when he saw an opportunity to make money out of his Master's blood (horrible!) The question was not whether this would be right. He afterwards acknowledged that he had sinned in lhat ho had betrayed the innocent blood. But here is an opportunity to make money, and right or wrong he resolves to make it. So I e sneaks td the enemies of our Lord nmnnsition. "What will ve WllU luu , give me aud I will deliver him unto yon?'' And they gave him the price of a slave?thirty pieces ot silver. Bat did it pay? Ou the awful morning of Jesus' cruxcifiction and death, Judas brought back thirty pieces of silver, threw them before the Chief Priest and Elders, with the confession, '*1 fcave sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood," and went cut and hanged himself. We ask, Did it pay? Nor does it ever p*y to sin. Lexington county has stiffered from blind tigers, social clubs, bank failures and many other evils due to sins she has allowed. And the jnst have suffered the unjust. About tie only argument the advocates for the ree9lablishment of the dispensary have put i3 that we will fcave or make, or get money by it. We do not believe this is their real reason, bat it is the only one they are sot ashamed to present publicly. We prepared to argue that it will not pay financially, but grant that it will; ' ? 1 ftn or 7-nn If the it will not pay m liJC lUUg . hellish liquor traffic ever flourishes in Lexington county, it will do so at the expense of her boys. My boy is worth ten thousand times as much as all your liqnor money. I believe positively be- j yond cavil or doubt that our schools ! are cursed because of liquor money. I Father, mother, true Christian patriot, will yon sell your birthright for a mess of pottage? Will you expose your boy for * Kquor dollar? "What will yon give me, and I will deliver him unto yon?'* 8. C. Ballenline. ?-?? .?(OM DM W V U. W*-w XX Health a Factor in Success.
