LESSON NOTES.
The Broad Road and the Traveller:
Therein.-What a long roll of name:
there would be. if every one who has
an aching heart should rise 10 and
give answer at the call of this lesson
Some who are counted freest from care
and discomfort would be first to re
spond.-H. c. Trumbull. The marks
that distinguish the travellers on this
road are first described as a sort OF
prison costume, by which prisoners
are known, or as the brand on the
face of Roman thief
First. WoeS.-29 ''Who hath woe?
who hath sorrow?" The words cor.
responding to the two substantives are,
strictly speaking, interjections. who
hath oh? who hath abo?" So in the
margin: 'Who hath Oh? who hath
Alas?" The woes are too great and
too many to name separately. They
are woes of body and woes of mind,
woes in himself, woes in his family:
pains, disea ses. pOverty-and all with
out alterations. A man sick on ac-
count of his sins suffers very differ
emily from one sick in the providence
Of God. A prison, cross, may be a
glory. or it may be a shame.
Second. A Ouarrelsome Disposition.
WHO hath contentious" may mean
the conflict between desire and con-
science. more probably. quarrels and
chickering's. 'Quarrelsome when in his
cups" is an old saying. Strong drink
excites tongue and brain: and when
wine is in, wit is out" and every evil
word is spoken that stirs up bad feel
ing in others. What quarrels. fight.
ings, and even murders are constantly
growing out of the drunlSard's con
tentions!' Strong drink in flames the
passions. and at the same time removes
the restraint of conscience and will
it first maddens and then unchains the
tiger. From many a gallOws-trec,
where the condemned murderer of his
fellow man stood on the brink of eter

been summed up in the brief words of
awful warning: Rum did t.'"-R. Il
Meredith.
Third. Grumbling and Complaining
-'''WhO hath compl aining?" The word
is translated babbling in the common
version, and refers to the tendency OF
strong drink to foolish and endless
talking, revealing secrets. vile CONVEX
satiOns, shouting, and noisy demOnstra'
tiOns, which are common in different
tongue lis set on fire of hell" But
the word is now commonly regarded as
meaning "sorrowful complaint, Cor ex.

neglected work, the anticipated re-
proaches, the diminishing strength
Delitzsch. Nothing goes right with
the drinker. He complains of God, he

his family, of his circumstances. of ev-
Nothing can be right to one
who is so wrong.
Fourth. Bodily Injuries.-''Whoh hath
wounds without cause?' Wounds
received in causeless or wholly unprof-
table disputes, wounds and stripes
such as come of The brawls of drunken

very slight provocation, which men in
famed with wine are very apt to take.
Pool. The thought may go much
than this. Drinking men are
exposed to accidents and
diseases which temperance would have
prevented.
Fifth. The Public Marks of Their
Disgrace. hath redness of
eyes?" The copper nose of the drunk
ard is not under consideration. The
word does not refer to the reddening,
but the dimming of the eyes, and the
power of vision.-Delitzsch. The cop
per nose is another of the signs of the |
slave of strong drink, who makes his |
nose blush for the sins of his mouth"
The Burden of WOes.-As Bunyan's |
pilgrim is represented in the earlier
portion of his journey as always carry
ing upon his back a huge bundle OF |
sins. so each traveller in the drunllard's
broad road to death is bearing a great
bundle of woes. Among them are
losses Of time, of talent, of purity. of a
clean conscience, of self-respect, of
honor. of religion, of the soul. The
saloon darkens the family. obstructs
business, arrests industry, impedes
progress, deranges plans, estranges
partners, undermines houses, lowers
standing, debauches politics
It is the nurse of political dictators,
lobbyists. cormorants.
