Lesson.
BY CHAs. K. MEYERS

Sept. &C.. Temperance Lesson.
l Cor. 10 :23. SO.
We have this week temperance
lesson with part Of an epistle of st.
Paul as the text. 1t is hard to tell
on what particular problem of the
christian life Paul sheds the greatest
light and Is the most helpful, but it
is certain that his position on christian
example is unassailable and that his
words are nearly infallible guide
for christian conduct. Not alone in
the words of the lesson today found
in Corinthians. but in number of the
epistles, he takes high ground that
mo christian should do anything which
will lead another into sin. and the loss
of eternal life in heaven. The stake
at risk is too great to allow of any
chances being taken.
The great apostle sets forth in.
Romans IA 81 the Golden Rule'' for
the conduct of every protesting chris
tian as regard to setting an example
before others, in language az follows
ssIt is good neither to eat flesh. nor
drink wine, nor any other thing
whereby thy brother s,umbleth. or is
offended or made weak. With this
before the mind it will be impossible
to go estray. Beth in writing to the
Corinthians and the Romans. Paul
takes up the question of eating meat
which had been offered to heather
idols, for it was burning one with
the early christians. The meat itself
was healthy and if eaten simply for
food with no thought of the idol there
could be no harm. But feasting on
meats which had been killed by
heather priests was part of heather
worship. and many could not get it
out of mind that eating such meat
even at home was an endorsement of
idolatrous worship. Paul said in
our lesson verses of this week, that
the true christian would not eat such
meat, not because it would violate
the conscience of the one eating, but
on account of the conscience of ones
brother.
The same rule applies to liquor
drinking as to the eating of meat
spoken of above. Those who insist
that they can drink with safety can
not keep up the practice in the light
of the writings of Paul. For the sake
of indulging in social glass once
in awhile one cannot afford to set an
example which may get some weaker

tanned, the American Educational
board. financed by John D. Rocke-
fel'er. offered the initial $50, 600, con-
dltloned upon the payment of debt
amounting to $50, 900 and the raising
of $l5O,O00 besides. It developes
that Mr.. Payne contributed $40. 900 at
first and when the way seemed dark
ne came forward with the offer of
section of land. Fearing that doubts
might be cast upon the value of his
gift, Mr.. Payne then bought the land
for SlOO an acre. This big gift did
not impoverish him, however. for We
read few days later that he>and his
partner, he being member Of the
firm OF Payne & Sargisson, purchased
an additional tract of 2. 700 acres Of
improved land near Luton with 1--we
stock. machinery etc. for 5000, 600.
Rockefeller's and Hills gifts were
insignificant in comparison with that
made by an Iowa farmer who built
up his fortune by legitimate methods.

him to drift away from God. Under
no possible state of affairs can q

Paul said in the lesson verses that
his whole course in life was to lead
people to be saved from sinful living
and this should be the aim of every
one. Liquor drinking is debasing no
matter where or when INDUCED, in and
does not lead men and women to holt.
ness and stainless living in the sight
of God. The only position for the pro,
Tossing of Christ is total abstinence.
This is the manly, right thing to do
and all compromises are q delusion
not justifying the conscience.
Thanks be to God the temperance
cause is gaining all the time. Those
teaching the young should not let
the lesson pass without strengthening
the determination of such to, sign
the total abstinence pledge, and
having done SO. to keep it. Liquor
drinking and Goodness do not 90
hand in hand. From every point OF
view it is injurious. It brings suf-

who have never been Called upon to

lesson be the meansDf doing the
highest good in helping to rid the
world Of the liquor habit.
