ton of the wine. the production of
wine was largely in the hands OF the
churchmen, wherever climatic condl-
tons made it possible. Many OF the
most noted vineyards have been the
property of the Roman Church in Eu-
rope. And strange as the statement
may sound it is nevertheless true, that
more than three-fourths OF the popu-
lation of civilized countries today,
leaving out the United States use wine
as an article of daily diet in lieu of
tea, coffee and meat. And in none
of these countries do we hear of the
liquor problem
Contrast the Christian precept with
that of Mohammed, as relates to al
coholic products. The Koran abso-
lutely forbids the use of all alcoholic
beverages. wine included? Now 1t
has been stated that the use of wine
is conducive to immortality, and lack
of chastity, simply because Paris, the
centre of attraction for the worlds
libertines, is the capital of the great
est wine producing country is the
record of the Turk, the total abstalner
from alcoholic products with his
harem, superior to that of the Chris
tian with marriage?
Now suppose that through wise leg
islation, properly supported, the gen.
eral use of wines was encouraged in
this country, as an article of diet, to
replace in part at least the excessive
quantities of coffee, tea, iced drinks,
including water, and even meat For
if the idea of a French peasant get

loaf of bread and a bottle OF cheap
wine appears ludicrous to some unbe-
levers here, think how the Frenchman
would be Disguised with the average
meal of a farm laborer here With his
ash-cake and slice of fat pork, gu!p-
ed down with a swallow of hot coffee,
or iced tea.
Taking the whole population OF
France, and the wine consumption OF
the country, and we find an average
per capita consumption of over so gal
Ions of wine per capita. Take the
population of the United States, and
the consumption of coffee, and VIZ
have an average of about 8 gallons OF
coffees per capita. The United States
also consumes more pork per capita
than any other race, the French and
Italian peasant satisfying himself with
a diet of meat for only two meals m
the week. If the people of the United
States used wine, instead of coffee
and at the same ratio of consumption
as the French, we would use foul

toned. And that the wine of that
early day was Intoxicating is also be-
yond question. But is there not food
for serious reflection in the study OF
the curse of Canaan? Are we to sup
pose that the mere fact of discovery
of his fathers condition would nave
merited such a curse. Deprived for
so long a time of the sustenance to
which his system was accustomed, TINS
Patriarch of the human race was mad
Vertently guilty of over indulgence.
His youngest son is first to discover
his fathers condition and to his
brothers holds him up to derislon ana
scorn. The lesson is obvious.
When in their wanderings in the
wilderness, the spies were sent out by
the Israelites to judge of the country,
they came to the valley of Eschol,
"and cut down from thence, a branch
with one cluster of grapes and they
bear it upon staff between two" The
testimony of this incident is that the
grapes were regarded as an established
article of support and sustenance and
diet.
And again when the first English
settlers set foot upon this soil on the
coast of Roanoke Island, the report
sent back as to the wonderful fertility
was in the following language:
1--WE viewed the land about us, being
where We hrSt landeQ very SANDY anu
low towards the water side, but so full
of grapes as the very beating and
surge of the sea overflowed them, of
which we found such plenty as well
there as in all places else, both on the
sand and on the green soil, on the
hills as in the plains, as well on every
little shrub, as also climbing towards
the tops of high cedars, that / think
in all the world the like abundance is
not to be found"
All through the Scriptures, the vine,
and wine are used as IMPLYING life,
abundance, and welfare, physical and
spiritual All through these ages wine
was an article of regular diet. down
to the Christian era. And what do we
find then? The parents of Christ
were not among the wealthy ones OF
the land Joseph was a carpenter,
living by the work of his own hands.
Wine was in common use then, not as
an article of luxury, but of daily need.
Christ not only sanctioned it at the
wedding of Cana, but rounded out
His daily references to it as typifying
spiritual as well as physical life, in
conjunction with bread. in consecrat-
ing it as the blood of His life in the
most sacred sacrament of the church.
It's abuses He freely condemned as
He did all other excuses. Through
the ages of the present Christian era,
and until the past century, the cultiva-
