Bible Temperance.
BY REV. w. C. A

ScrlDlnS WlHe dS d poiI " wiz
dietary for the pupils in his pal
ace training school was actuatted
by a desire to benefit those pu-
pills. He believed that the use
of wine is conducive to health,
strength, longevity and efficiency
in life's work, whatever it may
be. The sequel showed that this
opinion is entirely erroneous. At
the end Of the three years OF
training, Daniel and his three
Hebrew ella ssmates were found
to be healthier. stronger, more
handsome and better equipped
every way for positions of honor
and trust in the royal court than
were the young men who had
used wine. Nevertheless, this
hoary error has survived to our
day. Today there are those who
believe that the moderate use OF
alcoholic stlmulants is IN many
WAYS beneficial to the healthy
human body. 1t is believed that
it invigorates the muscular and
nervous systems, and thus in
creases ones capacity for labor,
both physical and mental; that it
prepares the system for resisting
extremes of temperature; that 1t
is a preventive of many forms OF
disease, and is promotlve OF
health, strength and longevity.
Now, the truth of these claims
must. like all similar hygienic
questions, be determined, not by
any labored process OF a prlorl
recommendations, but by the mod
ern scientific method, i. e., by
careful, long continued, widely
extended observations OF facts.
This method has. been pursued IN
the case before us, and the re-
suits have been announced by the
highest authorities in the medl-
cal world. Let us consider these
claims separately.
Cd Does alcohol increase the
capacity of the human system
for labor? In reply to this ques-
ton it is admitted that by the
use of alcohol a man may so
stimulate himself as to perform
within a brief period of time
say an hour, or two more
labor than he could otherwise
have done; but that period of
unnatural excitement and activi-
ty will inevitably be followed bv
a period of corresponding depres-
sion and languor. In such a case
there is no increase Of strength.
but simply a drawing upon ones
future resources Of muscle and
energy. In order that it may
be seen how carefully medical
men have proceeded in order to
arrive at a correct conclusion in
this matter, l will give an exper-
iment performed by the celebrat-
ed DR.. Parkes. l will give it in
the language of the celebrated
DIR. Andrew Clarke:
CDR. Parkes got a number OF
soldiers of the same age, OF the
same type of constitution, living
under the same circumstances,
eating the same food, breathing
the same atmosphere. He divid-
ed the soldiers into two gangs
an alcoholic and a. non-alcoholic
gang and he engaged these two
gangs in certain work, for which
they were to be paid extra. He
watched these two gangs, and
took the results of their work;
and it turned out that the alco-
holic gang went far ahead at
first. They had buckets Of beer
by their side. and as they got q
little tired, they took beer. and
the non-alcoholic gang were IN
an hour or two left far behind.
