"A Lay Thesis on Bible Wines" is
the title of a little work by Edward R.
Emerson, published by Merrill &;
Baker, II 3. Sixteenth street, New
York. The thesis will undoubtedly
interest all of those who have paid the
slightest attention to the two-wine
theory, on those who have any occasion
to s wine in sacred rites. There is
also that in the thesis which will in
terest those who daily with the tenn
perance question, pro or con. MI. EN-
ersOn does not mince matters that re-
quire straightforward handling. From
a practical standpoint the author de-
molishes the theory that an ".unfer-
mented wine can exist on ever did
exist. The thesis is not merely a sup
ernatural raking owe of old matter,
nor a mere ATTACK On exponents Of the
tWo-Wine theory, but a practical. log.
ical argument written, not for the sake
OF controversy, but advancing a re-
turn TO the simple, ~nonlpGudish beliefs
in connection with the wine question
taught by the Bible. The thesis is,
in a word, a comprehensive practical
statement of the many questions in
volved in the consideration Of Biblical
wines and their use, of temperance as
opposed to total abstinence, as COM:
mon sense as opposed to prudishness.
