THE SPIRIT OF WINE.

A correspondent who wishes to discuss
the question: Do the Scriptures Sanction the
Use of Intoxicating Liquors? wishes to
the teachings of ministers of the gospel
Certainly not. While the GLOBE holds the
ministerial calling in highest respects and
always displays generation for religi on, it
holds that no class is beyond the reach of
fair and legitimate criticism. The sacred
ness OF minister's calling does not protect
him from just criticism. But so far as the
question at issue between our correspond
ent and the clergyman whom he quoted is
concerned we are inclined to the opinion
that both of them occupy radical ground. If
the Bible is to be taken as authority fair
Interpretation of it warrants the statement
that the use of intoxicating liquors is sane
toned. But it does not follow that the
Bible sanctions intemperance. On the con-
trary, while CHRIST made the wine at the
Galilean feast and directed that it be dis
tributed among the guests, he also preached
against drunkenness. The moral that a
newspaper layman draws from this incident
is that the Bible does not strike at the use
Of intoxicating liquors, but it does at the
abuse of them. So far as the character of
the wine referred to in the Bible is con-
cerned, the only evidence we have is the
simple Biblical statement that it was wine,
and according to ST. PAUL's ideas,
as expressed in his letter to limo
THY, it had stimulating effe ct on
the stomach. We do not believe
that because the use of stimulating liquors
is sanctioned by the Bible that it is fair to
argue that intemperance is thereby sane
toned. Nor do we believe that minister
of the gospel, or any one else has the right
to pervert the plain meaning of Scriptural
language into an argument in favor OF total
abstinence. By doing so he Injuries his
cause more than he aids it. AS the GLOBE
is NEWSPAPER and not a Bible COM
mentary we decline our correspondents

cohol which the wine of Galilee contained

uBishop Fapre,s abandonment.

MONTREAL, Dec. 26.-1n his manda-
ment, which will be read in all the Catholic
churches in the city tomorrow, denouncing
the Riel agitation, Bishop Fabre takes occa-
sion to publish the pope's encyclical letter,
in which it is enjoined upon all Catholics to
live in brotherly love with other religions
and to uphold the law of the land. The
bishop says there never was time when
union between the priests and the people
was so necessary as the present. He la
ments the action of some young people
in having INDUCED in demonstrations
which brought no good to either church OF
country. He deprecated the action OF
certain newspapers calling themselves
Catholic which had endeavored to use re-
ligion to spread their revolutionary ideas,
and concluded by saying:
The past must be buried in oblivion. If
injustice has been done. whoever the guilty
parties may be, all must now be repaired by
reciprocal charity, and all must be redeemed
by common effort of Difference towards the
holy see. By this means Catholics will obtain
double advantage, that Of bidding the church
