Rev. Robert H. Harper The War Against Beverage Alco hol (Temperance). Lesson for October 25: Isaiah 5: 11-14; Matthew 18: 6; Romans 13: 11-14; James 4: 17. Golden Text: Romans 12: 2. There is unqualified condemna tion of beverage alcohol in the passage from Isaiah included in the lesson text. The night clubs of the present may be thought of when we read of the carrying on by night in old Jerusalem in the time of the great prophet. He writes that those who indulged in riotous living did not regard Je hovah and the operation of his hands. This suggests the tragedy of strong drink users at the pres ent; they are forgetful of God and do not live according to his laws. And they are forgetful of the fact that they must drain the bit terness of the dregs by and by. Far from bringing happiness, strong drink will bring unhappiness and ruin in the end. If the great prophet condemned the use of the wines of his day, what would he say, if he were liv ing now, of the distilled drinks of the present? Jesus warned men of causing lit tle ones to stumble. What a dread responsibility must they bear who invade the homes of the land with their advertisements of liquor? There is needed much in addi tion to condemnation of the liquor traffic. Counter measures are need ed, some plans to lead men out of the toils of the traffic. In the thought of the apostle J^aul the remedy for taking strong drink and all | other evil things is the gospel of Christ. Let us strive to magnify the gospel before men that their thoughts may be turned from liquor and all evils.
