THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time..—T•he Book of Proverbs
was written about 1,000 B.C. That
portion from Isaiah • from which
our lessors ,was taken was written
about 760 B.C. The early part' of
the hook of Hosea 'describes ev=
tints taking place about 780 B.C.;.
the prophet Joel wrote his book
about 800 J.C. The Apostle Paul
, wrote the Epistle to the Ephesians
about A.D. 64.
Place.—The Book .of Proverbs
and the earlier part of Isaiah'se
prophecies Were probably written
• in Jeraslalem. All. •we .can say of
the prophecies of Hosea and Joel
is that they were written in the
kingdom. of Judaea. . The city of
Ephesus, to which Tie Ephesian
Epistle was addressed, lama in the
days of . Paul,' one of the greatest
cities of the Roman Empire, le-
cated . in the province 'of Asia,
which is now Asia Minor..
Bitter. Fruits
17. "He that loveth pleasure
shall be a poor man; He that lov-
eth wine and oil shall not be
rich.'' There is not 'here a direct'
prohibition -of pleasure, . wine; and
- oil, but there .is a solemn warning
that -the inairv3ho°'sets his heart
on these things shall know pov-
erty. Only a few in the world are
rich. The rest must live within.
certain restricted incomes; and the
income from normal labor has
never been able to afford these
luxuries..
32; "At the last it biteth like
a serpent, and stingeth like an
'add r."' The • pronoun 'it' in this
v rse refers to wine, which is the
theme ' of the preceding two
verses.
Good and Evil
20. "Woe unto 'them that . call
evil • good, and good evil; that put
darkness for light, and :, light for
darkness.; that.•-=put-Bitter—`for
sweet, and sweet for Bitter'!"
'Evil, as hostile to God, is , dark
in its -
na ur
t e, and therefore loves
darkness, And although it may be
sweet to the material taste, it is
nevertheless bitter, . inasumch . as
it produces . abhorrence and dis;
gait in the godlike nature -of man,.
0a :._'cat n iwfil
woe -of fatal results::
• The Proud
21. "Woe unto them that are
wise in their own eyes, and prud-
ent in their sight.” Self conceit
was strikingly characteristic . of
the Jews, particularly the Phari-
sees, in the time of our Saviour.
As they supposed that they were
already wise enough, they refused
to listen to. others. This is always
the' effect rof 'such self-confidence;
and hence the Saviour required
his disciples to bp. meek, and •
humble, and .teachable as children.
The Heavy Drinker
22. _"Woe unto them that are,
mighty to drink wine, and men
of strength to mingle strong
drink; 23. That justify the wicked
for a bribe, and take away the
rightieoisness of the righteous
from him!" The woad l:e•e trans- ,
lated 'mighty' is really a word
meaning 'heroes.' But the -men
described are, heroes 'not in
avenging wrong, but in drinking
wine; men of renown, ;though not
for deciding between guilt and
innocence, but for mixing up
strong wines; whereas they judged
unjustly and took bribes that they
might consume the reward of
their injustice in drink and de-
bauchery.'.
Sensual Sins
11. "Whoredom and wine and
• new wine take away the under-,
standing." Nothing will take away
nian's understanding, his common
sense, his power of reasoning, as
indulgence 'in sensual sins, and in
the drinking of intoxicating liq-
uor. Man is a noble creature
when he lives according to the
• laws of God; when he violates
-"them; lie"does nofihnnk, talk, lives
or work in a normal, noble, human
way. ,
Craving For Wine
2. "I will gather all nations,
and will bring them down into
the valley of Jehoshaphat; anal I'
will execute judgment upon them
there for my people and for my
heritage Israel, whom •they have
scattered among the nations: and
they have parted my land, 3. and
have cast lots" for my people, and
have given a boy for a harlot,
and sold a,girl for wine, that they
may drink." The reference here -
is to those ' nations of the earth
•which have taken the people of
Isr el captive." The awfulness o'f
sell ' g these people into slavery
was aggravated by theobjectives
whit the conquerors had in mind
in t ese sales, These dreadful

ays follow war and gotogether,

The report that the Japanese
have been using elephants for
some of their transport h'as stirred
the memories of old .military men,
who, says The Edinburgh Scots-
man, recall, the days, when — as
readers of Kipling,know—some of
the heavy guns in. India were ele-
phant -drawn. There is a legend
that this came to an end after aa
famous march -past, when, as -241
gun -elephants approached the 'sa'l-
uting-point where stood the Vice-
roy, they trumpeted in salute--
and" thereby scattered cavalry,
with mounted officers of..alUraxiks,
for miles over the countryside.
Horses strongly object . to the
scent of the . 'elephant,' . but , his
'trumpeting just sends them mad.
Nevertheless an old cavalryman,'
conimon.ting an thiq, writes to s•ay
he cannot imagine :anything more
upsetting to .the nerves of the
steadiest horse than a windmill in
swift motion. In France during
the last war he saw the march
