ABERNETHY TAKES Sunday School Lesson ! iravaL FLAW AS TOPIC BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. THE CHRISTIAN BASIS OF TOTAL ABSTINENCE (Tem- perance Lesson).—I Corinth- | fans, viii.1-13. Golden Text—Let no man seek his own, but each his neigh- bor's good—I Corinthians, x.24. | Personal liberty is a perennial prob- iem, | conturies. . In the lesson assigned us | we find that it ised in connec- | | tion with the strife which disturbed the | Corinthian Church over a piece of meat This apparently insignificant question had appeared in connection with Paul's | battle for soul liberty at the Council of | | Jerusalem. In comnection with the | Corinthian Church the use of meat | took another form thet touched the | principle of perronal liberty. Afwng the problems picsented by | the delegation from the s hurch in Cor- | inth was a request for the apos d vice in rogard to the use of meat the had been offered to idols. The churc i arties who held s concerning the lawful- | stian eating meat which had been formally dedicated to idols. | Corinth was inhabited by a mised pop- I ulation which worshiped a great var { deities, offered ifices in man temples and at num were thick in that | When one offered a sacrifice at one of | altars he retained part | of I for his own use or to sell, ted meat was presented as food at the feasts celebrated in the temples and at private banquets. Pricsts {requently sold the sacrificial offerings to the bazaars, whence in turn it was sold to the people for food. Th resulted in the social life of the beinz more or less closely related t the religious life of Corinth, Some of the converts who had been won from idolatry could not forgct [they once believed that in eating food nce offered to idols they partook of the ery life of the idol itself. For them to at such food they held was wrong. | They could not separate their old ideals from their new faith. They ob- | jected strenuously to any persons who claimed to be Christians defiling their | souls by cating meat that had been of- | fered to idols. The other party claimed that_they had been cmancipated from the slavery of superstition. They claim- ed thit they had a right to eat what they liked if it did not hurt them, They objected to any attempt to regulate | their ciet, claiming that they had the| personal right to cat or arink what they wishea. In answering the question of the church concerning the use of meat Paul sought to establish a prin- ciple operating through love rather than authority, which appears to have been the reason the passage selected for our lesson was chosen to teach us the | Christian basis for total abstinence. Fundamental Principle Involved. Paul faced the problem presented tc him in a bold and tactful manner. He did not hesitate to agree with the party wa | | s | cosmopolitan city. | insgsting upon personal liberty that ar idol was nothing and that food offercd | to them was good to eat and could be caten freely. Evidently he detected a dangerous attitude of pride in the mem- bars who championed their personal rights and insisted on their privileges, for he pointed out to them the fact some may have an intellectual conceo- ticn of Christianity who lacked the es- sential element of love. He pointed out that there were two parties within the church’s membership. In one case per- sons may know God and yet not lo/c Him, and therc may be cases where some may love the Lord Jesus and yot Him. Paul insisted that love was morc valuable in the development of Christiar character than knowledge, that “puffed one up” withoui being controlled by the spirit of love. Knowledge without love is dangerous. Love gives us a position of security. 'The man who loves God can depend upon His. protection and guidance. Having cleared the atmosphere of discord by his courageous announcement of his stand in reference to personal liberty, knowledze and love, the apostie took up the question of whether a Christian ought to eat meat that had been offered to idols. He had acknowl- edged that they possessed the right to eat it, but he proceeded to consider a higher subject than that of personal rights, privileges and liberty. One's duty is not determined by his freedom to do a thing or by the fact that it is not evil to do it. Paul insists that on> must consider the moral quality of an act as well as the intrinsic nature of his act. A Christian is called upon to coii- sider the effect of such action on others, “for none of us liveth to himself.” Al- though a Christian had the right to eat meat that had been offered to idols, yet Paul insisted that they had no right to use their liberty. if by so doing it would even indirectly be harmful for some of the weaker brethren. He urged them to “take heed iest by any means this liberty of vours becomes a stumbling block to them that are weak.” Under such circumstances there exists the danger that in doing the apparently in- nocent thing, as we see it, we may against the brethren” and therefor n against Christ.” He places the weaker brother under the shelter and protection of the Lord Jesus. Modern Application. The Christian basis for total ab- stinence is found in an application of the general principle laid down by Paul that “service takes precedence over personal freedom.” It is an ap- plication of the French saying, “noblesse oblige—rank imposes obliga- tion.” The claims of weakness have preference over strength according to the teaching of Christianity. it illustrated in the law of the sea, that says “Women first” when the <hip i= in danger. The cripple has a |right to slow up the traffic of the street. Sometimes it is necessary for a church to postpone action when by an immature member. The Chris- tian is called upon to surrender his rights for the purpose of aiding the weaker brother and sister. The apostle practiced that principle. Jesus showed us by His life that He was guided by that principle. While we are free. we ought not to use our liberty in |a way that hinders the spiritual de- velopment of othe: Our age possesses any other period of history.
