Brewing and distilling - were later discoveries than fermentation, so that this lesson, with its proverbs, applies strictly to the use of wine; yet any evils that exist in the use of light wines would be greater in connectioh with the use of stronger intoxicants, like whisky, brandy and gin. This lesson empha- sizes the menace found in the use of Intoxicating drinks by the teachings of the Scripture and science. Wine Drinking a Menace. Six searching questions reveal the evil results of the use of wine. They have been called a litany of sorrow and unhappiness that no one wants. There were many in the days of Solomon, as well as now, who had woe, sorrow, contentions, babblings and foolish questions. The King by his questions had grouped some of the results of intemperance that by the use of wine had proven to be a menace to the individual user, turning his personal liberty into slavery. t the punchbowl's brink What they ‘say in_Japan: “First the man takes'a drink. Then the drink takes a drink. Then the drink takes the man !" Solomon In these opening words of the lesson has given us a picture of a banquet at which men are drinking to meet the requirements of the social goodfellowship. The woe that follows may not be the same as the intoxi- cated driver of an automobile brings to himself and other in this day, but the taking of the drink, even within limitations, according to statistics gathered by life insurance companies, “shortens one's life 25 minutes for every drink taken,” but it also brings woe and sorrow to all drinkers sooner or later. Solomon paints a picture of a banquet where men become red- eyed, developing a quarrelsome spirit and finally exchanging blows, “wounds without cause,” t| they would have been spared if they had not indulged. He answered his searching ques- tions by pointing his son’s attention to the world’s course of iniquity, im- morality and insanity. He warns all against its use by pointing out the menace that comes to those that tarry long at the wine and seek out as connolsseurs wine mixed with spices or oplates. He protests against even looking upon the ruddy cup when “it s full of life,” because strong drink has the same fascinating and deadly power as the venomous serpent, “si- lently, swiftly, trqacherouely deliver ing its attack and leaving in its vic- tims poisonous deadly stings,” that has made the indulgence in the use of intoxicating liquors a menace to one’s health, social welfare, national pros- perity and religious progress. The Drunkard’s Helplessness. The comparison, which is character- istic of the Proverbs, changes, and the drunkard is presented in his dell- rium, depravity, despair, in ‘“‘his be- sotted helplessness and bewilderment, his inability to direct his powers, his lack of control over his imagination, his reason, his speech.” He repre- sents him like one in a boat, tossed upon an angry sea, with a giddy head and unsteady walk. He describes him just as we have seen some modern drunkards under the power of drink. Strange things thine eves behold. Thy mind and thy epecch g0 a-wandering. Like one riding fo sea ar In the throes of a violent storm. ‘When the morning comes following the spree of the night before and the drunkard commences to awake out of his drunken debauch his condition is pathetic. He is ignorant of the bestial level to which he has fallen, and in his stupidity he does not know of his quarrel. Frequently that is the best time to win a drunkard for Christ and His church by pointing the des- perate soul to the Lord Jesus, who will save him and remove all desire from strong drink from him if he will trust Him as his personal Savior and do His will. While many have been aroused to their danger and been saved, more have gone down to fill a drunkard’s grave without a personal hope of securing eternal life. Men may differ over prohibition, but no one can be feund who favors the making of drunkards.

The in- creased number of accidents upon our public streets has called for the de- priving of drivers found guilty of driving automobiles while intoxicated of their permits to drive. One of the strongest arguments that one can present to a red-blooded American, calling for him to live a temperate fe, aside from the personal menace the drinker faces, is the effect of his influence upon others. In connection with the observance of the World Temperance Sunday in the Sunday Schools throughout the world it would be well to recall how closely our lives as a people are be- coming related to other nations and our influence upon them. A wife of one of the distinguished bishops of the Methodist Church has pointed out the close and vital relationship found in the mission flelds: *“A misslonary in Indla presented a temperance pledge to a high-caste Brahman wom- an. this woman, ‘but why are you Chris- tlans bringing a_temperance petition?
