why ONE MAN GAVE UP WINE
Mark Rutherford in His Autobiography
Gives His Reaeons for Complete

In the autobiography Of Mark Ruth
erford he tells us why he gave up
the use Of wine. He had been led
TO use IL because OF physical weak
ness and depression of spirits. lie
was very miserable sometimes. and
nc knowing what else to use resort
ed To vine. He found after time
that the drink habit was taking strong
ho!d Of him. So he resolved that
he would touch no vine in the day
time. but would do his work and then
take something at night There was
new development then. for he found
himself eager for night to come SO
he could indulge In drink. not In an
intemperate way. but far enough 10
overcome his physical suIferings.
Presently. as he felt the strong
craving all the day long for drink and
found that he was no entering with
proper spirit. but lstlessly, into the
days employment, he startled him.
self by demanding whether he was
going to be the slave OF the bottle
or be free man
Such slavery he saw meant degrade
tion, moral and intellectual II he
kept up the drink habit he must re-
linquish all hope Of making anything
Of himself He must give up his
chosen pursuits in which he had
taken so much delight He must drop
down to mere bod"'' Indulgence. and
be nothing more than hundreds and
thousands Of other young men who
had gone the same road into obscurity
and uselessness.
He balanced the two. In one scale
was what were offered by wine-tem-
porary relief from physical pain, and
temporary efation OF spirits In the
other scale the opportunity OF grow
Ing along the lines OF study which
he loved. and the prospect Of making
his mark somewhere in the world
He decided that he was not going
to be such fool as to lose what
was best for what was so inferior
Whatever drink offered was only for
a little while anyhow. and II his ex-
perience would be like that of others
before him. the temporary relief and
exhilaration would be followed by
greater pain and depression. The
young man had too much good sense
to turn away what was noble for
what was base, so he stopped using
vine, stopped completely and never
regretted having done so. No one
