Written expressly for the GLOBE REPUBLICAN,
HERE ARE some points for prohibition
that are pertinent. The advocates IF
high license say Cultivate self-cOntrol
in the drinker; don't take the temptation
entirely away aud thus make weakling
of man. First. the whole tendency of
the traffic is against self-contrOl; it in
vites. entreats. sOlicits. entraps, tempts to
indulgence, tempts to excess. Second.
the whole tendency is toward intemper-
ance. Third. it awakes thirst. it never
quenches. Fourth, it begins a custom
that becomes habit. Fifth. the taste is
never natural. but is inherited or acquir-
ed. Sixth. from the class of moderate
drinkers the immoderate ones are re-
cruited. Seventh. the trade is never
satisfied until it has all the drinker pos
sesses. and the drinker is never satisfied
until he lands in an asylum or is hope
lessly lost.
WALKING WITH God is the christians
daily privilege and duty. Walk in love:
''and as Christ has loved us. so we ought
also to love one-another," avoiding all
evil. whether in our own thought or in
relation to others. even the appearance
of evil: avoiding foolish talking, not in
nOcent jesting by which no harm is done,
but testing of lewd or vulgar nature.
such as in itself would degrade the hear
err. Innocent mirthfulness the apostle
does not condemn, for he sometimes in
dulges in humOr and wit himself. (See
Cor. II: l3-17.) Have no fellowship
with sin. That which we cannot speak
to our most loved friend, because of the
wrong there is in it, must not be cher
ished for minute. Our whole life must
be one of self-denial against sin, and of
affection toward God, then shall we
walk with Him.
BELIEF IN the Bible is not superstition.
1t cannot be Justly said that those who
believe the Bible do so because of super
stitiOus reverence for it. for among its
warmest adhcrents and lovers are some
of the best, most learned, wisest men of
the world. Their learning enables them
to examine critically its claims to authen-
ITCHY. genuiueness, credibility and truth
fulness. Their wisdom enables them to
the philosophy of its teach
ings from theory or myth; and their
goodness of heart, they themselves claim,
comes directly from the teachings of the |
Bible, and by prayerful adherence to its
precepts and doctrines. So that it is
gratis on the part of the scOffers at the |
Bible, that they are the only ones who
are independent enough to think in ref
erence to it and its teachings.
ENGLISH CAPITALISTS are buying up
American breweries. When these are
largely owned by Englishmen they will
try to unite them with the free trade de-
and carry the country for free
trade and England. But in that case the
protection republicans and the prohibit
tiOnists will unite and sweep the country
clean of saloons and free trade.
