DR.. Candy, born on a Mississ-

6 Drink Withers Spirituality
There is an intoxication which in
flames and consumes. 1t is the
intoxieation of strong drink which
dehases, debauches and destroys.
1t undermines health and over
throws reason. 1t is riotous and
ruinous. Abstain from it. Beware
Of it. Rid the world Of it. On
the other hand, there Is an intoxi-
cation due to the milling, ami
mating, unbuilding Spirit Of God
1t undergirds rather than under
mines. 1t overarches rather than
overthows, 1t exhilarates and ex
ats rather tlan deteriorates and
tears down, To be filled with
the Spirit is to be under his in
tluence completely and continual
ly.
Gold in the Golden Text
If sinners entice thee,
Consent thou not. Proverbs l 10
The world is full Of sinners
who would snare and seduce
youth in particular but every
body in general Their business
is to blight morally and spiritual
ly. They endeavor to entice from
the good and right way, They
have the facilities for making a
tremendous appeal to the unwary.
What is the one thing that must
be done with decisiveress and de-
termination Consent thou not

thrill. He alleges to drown mis-
depress. He pays more than cash.
He pays in strength. Cd He
loyeth oil. The perfume of luxury
is pleasing to him. SO is the an
einting oil used at hanquets for
IGNORED guests. Vanity animates
him. Pride possesses him. If
moneyed, he will grow poor, and
If moneyless, he never grows rich.
2. Drink Weakens Men. 1t is
dangerous to come even within
sight Of strong drink. Look not
upon the wine Of rich color, espec
tally attracting the Eastern drink
er. whetting and arousing thirst,
or the sparkle of the wine when
poured out in the cup, delighting
the eyes; or the undisturbed swal
lowing of it, gratifying the ap-
petite. The attractions of wine
drinking cannot be discovered
from the effects of confirmed
drunkenness which are like the
bite of a lurking reptile and the
deadly venom of the adder.
8. Drink Wrecks Society. Hear
Isaiah denounce the sins Of his
time CD Misinterpretation invites
the woe against perversion.. Tie
act is malicious and is done de-
hberately by those who misguidc
without being misguided. Truth
is misrepresented and error is
clothed with a mantle of righteous
ness. They call evil good and
good evil. By a reversal of truth
thay defend and excuse their
wickedness. (2) Arrogance invites
the woe against pride. The
naughty are wise in their own
eyes. They are prudent in their
own sight. But God sees their
vanity and men are not deceived
by their deceit. (3) Fraud in
vites the woe against oppression,
Dishonesty is deplorable, The
innocent poor are maltreated
while the criminal rich are al
lowed to escape justice. Strong
drink flows freely while the right
eous are deprived of their due
and the wicked bride their way
TO their goal.
A. Drink Warps Understanding.
What makes a people stupid and
senseless? Nothing can equal
RIGHTEOUSNESS and drunkenness.
"Iiquor and bust deprive them
of their wits" (Moffatt). "Wine
and liquor take away the under
standing" (Smith). What country
can thrive VIXEN its citizens arc
intoxicated to incapacity and even
imhecility?

moned to the valley of judgment

cause they scattered my people
among pagans and divided up my
land; they cast lots for my peo-
pie, bartering a boy to pay for a
harlot and selling a girl for wine
