LEssoNs FROM The REcHABIrEs

The. Christian sEndeavor topic for
June is found in Jeremiah, xxxv.,
1-6, ID, 10. 1t is a temperance lesson.
based upon the abstemiousness of the
Rechabltes, a section of the Henites,
a Midianitish tribe. who, with the
1sraelltes, had come into Canaan. The
real founder of the tribe was Jonadab,
a son or descendant Of Reehab. They
We're Worshipers of Jehovah, though
not Israelites, and the worship of Baal
was very offensive tozthem. To guard
them against aapostaey and to insure
the preservation Of the peculiar tribal
!lfe, Jonadah. bound them to abstem-
Iousness and to a nonadic life.
They were "to drink no Wine" neith-
er were they ito build house nor sow
seed nor plant vineyard, nor have any,
put all your days ye shall dwell in
tents" The Rachabites were faithful
to the demands Of their founder for
two centuries and a half. The invasion
OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS drove them into
Jerusalem. where they still resisted the
temptations to break their vows. 1t
Is claimed that about $4,000 Of their
descendants still remain. They live
near Mecca. in the, mountain country
northeast Of Medina, and still adhere
to the old rules of their tribe
The RecHabites had one simple rule
never, under any circumstances, to
touch wine. So they had a satisfac-
tory answer to make even when wine
was offered them by a prophet of the
Lord. Some people might have ar
gued that under such circumstances to
accept Wine was right; but the Rech-
abltes had a consistent rule and kept
to 1t.
Such a rule offends nobody since II
applies equally to all occasions, The
total abstainer stands on firm ground.
The moderate drini6er never can be
sure that he may not be BETRAYED
some day into drunkenness. He never
can be sure that he is not breaking
down his health. by the use of alcohol.
even IL he does not become intoxicated.
He often takes a drink through fear of
offending if he would refuse. The total
abstainer is tho more independent and
self-rellart ;zof the two.

VOYAGE AND sHIPwREcK

The international Sunday School les
son for June is found in Acts xvii.
1884. In the lesson for two weeks ago
Paul was a prisoner at Caesarea.
where he had been confined for two
years. He had appealed his case to the
emperor and was waiting to be sent to
Rome for trial. In this lesson the voy-
age begins.
In studying this voyage, remember
ing that he was a prisoner, think what
kind of a man Paul must have been
to have gained such influence on board
the ship. Paul was one of a number
being sent to Rome under guard at
this time. At Myra the convoy of pris-
oners was transferred to one of the AL
exandrian grain ships bound for Rome.

1t was now question of where to

MODERN LESSONS FROM OLD
SUBJECTS.

The Baptist Young Peoples union
topic for June is found in jeremiah,
xxXv., 1-6, IS, 10. The lesson is one
every American should keenly study.
1t is the story of a people who had
pledged themselves to temperance. The
Rechabites teach the value of total
abstinence. The Rechabites lived-as
they did to preserve their tribal char
acter and to prolong their lives, that
We may live many days in the land
where We are strangers" For national
preservation and long and happy
life they took and kept the Rechabite
vows, and they were amply repaid.
Intemperance is one of our national
sins, and for the nations welfare the
American people need to become more
abstemious. And nothing today does
more to assure happiness, health and
longevity to the individual than tenn
perance in all things. God also blessed
the Rechabites for their faithfulness
to the rules Of their fathers, and in so
doing He placed the stamp of His ap-
prevail upon temperance. That He
has stamped intemperance with His
disapprOvaI is evidenced by the evils
that result from it.
The Rechabites did not take a VOW
to drink but moderately, but to totally
abstain from wine. It was an abso-
lutte command and embraced every
member of the tribe. Our father COM
manded us, saying, FYe shall drink no
wine, neither We nor your sons, for
ever" Under the conditions of life
in their day this was their only safe
attitude toward intoxicating drinks
Any other course would have been
dangerous. They would have been in
danger Of succumbing to enervating
forms of life about them. In total alb
sunence from strong drink lies our
only safety today. IS,
Many people believe that abstinence
is impossible. Surrounded on all sides
by temptations. their claim is that
they cannot refuse to drink Many
honestly believe this, although they
would personally prefer not to touch
intoxicating drinks. But all tempta-
ton by the power Of God can be over
come. Look at the Rechabites. They
had been surrounded by the general
debauchery Of Jerusalem and yet were
untouched, and when they were
brought face to face with temptation
under peculiar circumstances they
courageously replied, I'VE will drink
no wine" What they did bluntIy Dam
lel under somewhat similar circum-
stances, did more suavely, yet neither
suffered for the stand taken. Nor
would we today if we kindly, but firm
ly, declined all invitations to drink
wine or other intoxicating drinks The
world honors and admires the man
who has convictions and stands by
them rather than the one who WeakIp
gives In to Its temptations against his
convictions.
