Probably there is no one in my congregation who
can not drink four bottles of wine without feeling
any disturbances of his senses but If any man at
the seventh eighth bottle forgets himself as to
abuse and strike his wife and children and treat his
best friends as eneniea let him look into his own
conscience and in future always stop at the sixth
bottle. Yet, i; after drinking eight, even ten or
twelve bottles he still take his Christian neigh
Dor lovingly by the hand and obey the order of his
spiritual and temporal superiors let him thankfully
drink his modest draught. He must be careful,
however as TO taking any more for is seldom that
Providence gives any one the special grace to drink
sixteen bottles at sitting, it has me, its unwor-
thy servant, TO do without either negectlng my du-
ties or losing my temper"
