We do love to refer to that old
book 1.-THE book. !" it was the story,
book of our childhood and we think
it our only guide as old age comes on
apace. Il, r@z&@ # .Z>=
Our theology is weak but if our
good old brother reads carefully
the contents of the passage referred
to, Rom. 14-5 he would hardly make
the broad application Of it he does.
This same man Paul says Know
ing therefore the tenor Of the Lord
we persuaded men.'' That same
old book says, ''When a righteous
man doth turn from his righteous +
ness and commit iniquity and lay
a'stumbling block before him, be
shall die because thou hast not
given him warning, he shall die in
his sin and his righteousness which
he has done shall not he remember
ed but this blood will I require at
thy hand nevertheless il thou warn
the righteous man that the righteous
sin not and he doth not sin he shall
surely live because he is warned,
also thou hast delivered thy SOUL
It resolves itself brother to this
simple question. : . ~
If selling Intoxicating liquors is
wrong. " @ g: T.
If we by law give aman license to
commit wrong and receive pay for
it we are equally guilty with him. !
If we do not vote him the right to
lido the wrong still as a part of the
common wealth we are equally
guilty with him if We DO not raise
our protest. Having voted against
the wrong and raised our protest
against iniquity Of the righteous
man. sss@. .s
