THE VOICE OF The BIBLE.

\ strong, Conclusive Argument In Favor
OF Total Abstinence.
Let none pretend that Scripture does
not warn us Of the peril and curse OF
drink. Scripture lays down principles;
it leaves it to the manhood and in
tegrity OF the wise and good to apply
those principles in their details, Let
no man commit the awful blasphemy
Of making Christ the minister of sin by
pretending to find from His Word any
sanction for the existing conditions OF
our prevalent drink system with its
horrors and enormitics. Relnem Der,
in days when Scripture was written
they had none Of tho stupcfying and
naddening, the soul-clogging and
body destroying compounds which
are sold among US in every
street, and yet for one word in
Scripture which permits wine l
will quote you = score on the other
side, like that Of the proverbs: "Who
hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath
contentious? who hath complaining?
who hath wounds without cause? who
hath redness Of eyes? Look not thou
upon the wine when it is red, when it
soeth down smoothly; At the last it
biteth like serpent, and stingath like
basilisk." You sneer at total alb
stainers from the enormous altitude of
your worldly superiority. but the
scripture gives them its heartiest APP
probation. God commanded His proph-
cts to pronounce ON the Rechabites a
conspicuous blessing because they alb
stained from wine. Jei emiah speaks
of the health and happiness of
the Nszarites a. the flower OF
the youth Of Jerusalem for their
strength and their beauty. Samson
was total abstainer, whose drink was
only from the living brook, and was
the strongest man time records. John
the Baptist, whom Christ calls the
greatest among those born Of women,
was also q total abstainer. So were
many Of the most eminent Christian
thinkers. Total abstainers never dream
