GODS WORD, OR PROHIBITION
WHICH?


The truth that Christ made wine at
the marriage in Cana of Galilee, is
recorded in the Holy Scriptures and is
there to stay. Men may assume that
this wine, if it had been used to excess,
would not have made one drunk; but
they cannot prove it, for the Scripture
does not so teach, and they are for
hidden by God Himself to add to the
Scriptures.
In the 1O4th. Psalm. where Gods
works are spoken Of, it is said: He
causeth the grass to grow for the cat
tie, and herb for the service of man !;
that he may bring forth food out of
the earth: and wine that maketh
glad the heart of man, and oil TO make
his face to shine, and bread that
strengtheneth mans heart, In &c.
clesiastes it is written, GO thy way,
eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy
wine with merry hearth yet. this
does not teach anyone to get drunk.
God gave the following permission
and instruction to the Israelites:
'and thou shalt bestow the money for
whatsoever thy soul desireth, for
oxen, or for sheep. or for wine, or for
strong drink, or for whatsoever thy
soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt
eat there before the Lord thy God, and
thou shalt rejoice, thou and thine
household" Deut. 1920 Neither
drunkenness nor gluttony is taught by
this Scripture.
The words, touch not, taste not,
handle not are wrongly used when
applied to wines and strong drink.
Turn to the Scripture words them
selves, examine carefully the context,
SO as to get the complete sense, and
see for yourself that the Scripture re-
proves Christians for submitting, in
their religious life, to precepts and
doctrines of men that are without the
sanction of Gods word. (Colossians
a:20-23.
Thesrecent attempts made by some,
to distinguish between what they term
intoxicating, and non Intoxicating.
wines mentioned in the Bible, and to
show differences in the Hebrew and
Greek text to uphold their views.
are not supported by-our best trans
lations of the Bible, into English; ;
yet these translations were made
by the companies Of able
and chosen scholars and in the null
titude of counsullors there is safety"
The warning from the Holy Spirit,
through Paul the apostle. to Timothy,
BE no longer Ndrinker of water, but
use little wine for thy stomach's
sake and thine often inirmities, was
given in earnest, for God never jokes.
If the wine here recommended for
Timothy was no more than colored
water in its effects, the message
would be equal to, in it's effect, BE
no longer drinker of water, but use
little water for thy stomach's sake

not a new doctrine to call attention
to the truth that, when Paul in his
Epistle to Titus taught that the aged
women be e'not slanderers nor en-
shaved to much wine," he might as
we'll had written, nor enslaved to
much water, if the wine he referred
to would not have intoxicated had too
much been used.
Why should anyone be afraid to
teach Gods word as it is? Why for
get that Christ said, Heaven and
earth shall pass away. but my words
shall not pass away?" Gods word
is absolutely safe. Mans word may
not be.
Il is a mistake to speak and teach

ance, and to keep very quiet about
other passages Of Scripture showing
lawful use of wine and strong drink !.
A gate and pathway. even though
they be narrow and straitened, have a
limit or boundary on each side
These are over against each other,
that is, opposite, and the way itself
between the two. The Scriptures
already quoted show some of the law
full uses of wine and str ong drink.
Now notice over against these, mark
ing the other side Of the pathway,
some of the warnings given in the
Bible against being deceived by wine
and strong drink, and against their
unlawful use. There are many of
these warnings given, but few will
answer here to show the trend of the
teachings:
wine is a mocker, strong drink q
brawler; and whatsoever erreth there
by Is not wise. . Fire is useful when
under control: dangerous indeed
when it gets beyond control. Look
not thou upon the wine when it is
red, when it giveth its color in the
cup, when it goeth down smoothly;
at the last it biteth like serpent,
and stingeth like an adder. - ''And
be not drunken with wine, wherein
is riot, but be filled with the
Spirit" The truth taught in
Scripture that drunkards shalt not in
herit the Kingdom of God. is a law
which man cannot change. If the
temptation to a man is even likely, to
be too great when he takes one drink,
that one drink, or any, should not be
taken. Cor what shall man give
in exchange for his soul?"
The truth that here on this earth
we are our brothers. keeper, should
not be forgotten. Concerning eating
and drinking it is written: "All
things indeed are clean, howbeit it is
evil for that man who eateth with
offense. It is good not to eat flesh,
nor to drink wine, nor to do anything
whereby thy brother stumbleth. The
faith which thou hast. have to thy
self before God,"
The limit then, is that we do not
cause brother to stumble, do not sin
Against our own consciences, do not
drink to excess, or Unexpectedly, or,
summing it up in far better language,
whether therefore ye eat, or drink,
or whatsoever ye do. do all to the
glory Of Cod
A clear instruction is found in the
book Of Proverbs Of Solomon as to
lawful use Of wine and strong drink:
GIVE strong drink unto him that is
ready to perish, and wine unto the
bitter in soul; let him drink, and
forget his poverty, and remember his
misery no more" This does not say,
let him get drunk.
Some one may claim that famous
doctors have asserted that wine and
strong drink are not necessary even as
medicines. An answer to this ie,
God has not authorized man to
withhold medicine when really
needed, which He Himself has pres
cribed within proper restrictions
Will you follow Gods teaching, or the
famous physicians teaching This
correction as to some physicians is no t
. defence of what is falsely termed
christian Science and which
should be called s'Satan's Folly. -
Christ Himself taught. s'They that
are whole have no need Of physician
but they that are sick. !" When the
so-called scientists say the sick do
not need physician, they lie. Let

Mentally Afflicted.
Are the majority Of folk of weak in
tellect! Is insanity on the increase?
Are we all preparing ourselves for lu-
matte asyums? These startling ques-
tons have occurred to me after read
the gospel of fat as applied to the
treatment of mental disease" 1t seems
that the more you fatten up the men
tally afflicted the saner they become,
but of course the difficulty lies in pro-
yiding the lunutic with adipose tissue.
as there is nothing like brain disease to
cause too. too solid flesh to melt.
The aim of most of us nowadays is to
keep down what our transatlantic
friends with their genius for using the
promisingly call flesh" We battle, we
massage we diet, we fly to these and
those waters, we try all manner of
cures and put ourselves into various
kinds of straps and pastes and take
violent exercise with the aim of 1ining
ourselves down and keeping stoutness
at bay.
Does this decided disposition ON the
part of men and women TO avoid cor
pulence and the successful thinning
down that we notice on all sides por-
tend increase of lunacy? If so, dieting
and the taking of waters and massage
ought to be forbidden by act of pirlia-
ment BY The way, Hamlet was tat
and scant of breath. but he was GER
