AurHoR-St. Paul, who had lived and

CIRCUMSTANCES epistle was written
10 correct certain disorders which had
arisen In the church since Paurs depart
ure. Tho Christians in the city were sur
rounded by idolatry, whose influences per-
vaded society. When sacrifices were
offered to idols, parts Of the animals were
burned upon the altar, portion was given
10 the priests, and portion was re-
tanned by those who made the offering.
These remnants, II they were not
eaten at tho feasts, were often sold
In the public markets. Thus Chris
tian might eat unconsciously of meat that
had been offered to idols if he purchased
his meat in the market. Or II he attended
the social feasts or weddings of his heather
he would be liable to eat meat
offered to idols, as sacrifices were always
offered on such occasions; and large
portion of meat used would be such
as had been used in the sacrifices.
The question, therefore, which troubled
many Christians was whether it was right
to eat such meat. Would not those who ate
indorse idolatryi The answer of Paul was
that what the heathen did with their meat
was nothing to the Christians. An idol was
nothing, and offering 1t to idols did not
harm the meat. Only they must not eat It
as an offering, when they were told it was Q
part Of the sacrifice. But Paul lays down
great principle. Although meat offered to
an idol was not harmed in itself, and was
Innocently eaten by those who so under
stood 1t, yet If leating such meat caused
weak brother to stumble, and was the
means Of leading him into sin, then Paul
would not touch such meat. It was better
10 deny himself Of harmless qualification
han to lead another into ruin. Here is
stone Of total abstinence. Whether
Intoxicating liquors Injuries US or
not, yet we should not do 1t, since it Injuries
,thers, and leads them into temptation and
ruin. There is possible right use Of alco-
nol Tho lawful domains Of King Alcohol
may be very small in the arts and in some
acute diseases, but 1t is conceded ON all
hands that the use Of intoxicating liquors
Is dangerous to all, and deadly to many.
There is no question about their tendency
10 destroy life, squander property, debase
character, iujure health, mar happiness,
corrupt the state, incite to crime, spoil fam
lies, ruin the soul Therefore Christian lope
denies ssf for the good Of others. It will not
cad others into evil and danger for the
'ake Of self-gratification, even those which
,eem harmless to itself.
LET no man suppose that his heart Is
really given to the Lord II the functions of
his body be not employed In carrying out
The revealed will Of God. The Holy Ghost
