indeed, for time seek repose in the
midst of fanced security, only to be
overtaken and overwhelmed by calam-
tiles which he could neither have fore
seen nor averted. Withal, he appears
to lose judgment of what is prudent
and best, SO that by his own foolish
conduct he involves himself in trouble.
our author expresses these points very
forcibly. The man is so indiscreet that
he is like one who lies down in the
midst of the sea-" seeking rest in the
eery place where his life is in peril. He
is like one that lies down to sleep In
the top of a mast" from which he may
be suddenly tossed into the deep. Who
has not seen all this illustrated many
times in the lives of drunkards?
Nothing could be more pitiful than the
course of men who are acknowledged
to be their Gown worst enemy"
COMPLAINT Verse 35).-One other
characteristic of the drunken man,more
peculiar and in many respects moro
serious than those already mentioned
completes the account in the passage
before us. Having recovered somewhat
from the effects of the last dcbauch
he is determined to seek it again." No
loss, pain, sickness, poverty, ill-treat-
ment, imminent dangers. or merciful
| deliverances can prevail with him so
much as, sincerely and constantly to
desire to break his chain. So inveter-
ate are his habits and so great his in
fatuation that ne considers the suffer-
| ing through which he passed as per-
sonal and unusual aflliction, Of which
! he complains, as if some one other than
| himself or some circumstance for
which he was not responsible, had
/ brought it upon him. HeA seldom as
! cribes his miseries to drink. On the
/ contrary, he esteems the cup to be his
own true friend, to which he turns
| with hope of finding needed comfort.
! It has occurred that those who stand
between the inebriate and his drink are
/ considered TO be enemies.

PROV. XXIll:2o-35.

But in this verse he condemns GER
tain kind of drink. When the wine
(yayin) is red, the color being observed
as II is poured into the cup, fermenta-
tion has begun, which Will be evil
denced by the rise and escape of bub-
bles, a movement in the liquid by
which the elements are converted into
new compounds. One of these is alco-
hol, which is never found in nature.
The chemical process was not under
stood when the text was written, but
the description is very accurate. When
all this has taken place, poison has
come into the drink, and 1t Is to be
absolutely discarded. No one should
even look upon it at such time. This
advice enjoins total abstinence from
intoxicants.
EFFECT Verse 32).-Why reject
fermented wine altogether? Why may
not its moderate use be allowed? Why
not pause with a condemnation of eX-
cess? Does not temperance mean
moderation? These are old questions
heard on every hand. Let Solomon
answer in four distinct statements.
First, because alcoholic beverages
bring pain and discomfort to the body.
That does not come at once. For
Il pne there is a pleasurable sensation,
an exhilaration of spirit, and one fam
cies himself stronger. so that he seeks
further draughts. But "at last" when
he has come under the dominion of Ii
quor, it bites and stings. The stomach
and other vital organs, the brain and
the whole nervous system indeed, the
entire man, is affected as if venomOus
! serpent had thrust it's fangs into him.
II was this influence that gave the
name alcohol, for the Arabian chemist
who discovered it observed that when
applied to the skin it eXcoriates and
deadens.
| RESULT Verse 33 To secure bod
| lily health and comfort one must re-
! ject alcoholic beverages. This teach
/ ing of the wise man Is approved by
| science and experience. But the physi-
! cal and the spiritual nature of man
/ are so intimately related that any in
| jury to the former soon involves the
/ latter. The dsordered brain produces
a deranged heart, whose affections go
out after unholy things. Here is noted
! what has been one of the saddest re-
suits of intemperance, life of licen-
/ tiOusness. Thine eyes shall behold
strange women" This explains the
conduct of Lots daughter (Gen. xix
