Harris addressed the League the Sun- day previous. WINE AND THE BIBLE. (contiuued)- Texts from the little phamphlet-"The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say ' behold a man gluttonous and a wine bibber,' etc." --Mat. 11; 19. Text from Johu 2, 9:10, etc, being the the miracle of converting water into wine. Text from the passover feast. Text from 1 Tim., 4:4, "For every creature of God is good," 1 Tim. 5, 23, " Drink no longer water but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake," Text from Tim. 3:8 and Titus 2:3, "Not given to much wine." The following is the exposition given by the little book :-Christ drank wine no doubt, but it was unfermented; the wine likely was sweet wine, and if drank to excess such persons were called wine bibbers but not drunkards. Regarding the wine of Cana referred to above, if Christ made intoxicating wine then the distiller, the brewer and vendor have sufficient authority for their nefarious traffic, but it was not fermented. Christ only shorteued the process of wine making; after Christ made it it was immediately used, con- sequently it could not be fermented. It is well known the grape wine can- not produce alcohol. Then this little book quotes authority to prove that the best wine contained the least amount of fermentation, hence the governor called this good wine; it also says the Jews did not in their sacred feast (including marriage) use any fermented drinks, Passover wine must be free from fermentation; as the bread must be unfermented so must the wine be free from putrefact- ive elements. For every creature of God is good; fermented wine is not a creature of God therefore not good, but unfermented wine is the creature of God. Drink no longer water, etc., is reasoned thusly : The fact that Pan! advises timothy to use wine proves that Timothy was a total abstainer, and that wine was recommended as medicine; that - Paul wouldnot have reco:umended alcoholic drinks, which )2/ C. H. SANDERS, EDITOR. are injurious, therefore the wine was unfermented, the Athenians claiming that sweet wine is good for tbe stom- ach. "Not given to much wive," this little book claims the expression 10 verse 3, "" not given to wine" is an offset to verse 8, "not givou to mueb wine," and claims that the meaning is total abstinence and adeath blow to the moderation theory. This closes the prosecution. Now for the defense. The wine that Christ referred to in the above as wine bibbers was fer mented wine and intoxicating, and wine bibbing means drunkenness; Webster's unabridged dictionary says 80, and refers to the 23 chapter Pro verbs, verses 20:21:, for authority. Christ's enemies said this of him, and expressions of no milder nature have been used by prohibition lecturers in Exeter and surrounding villages also against the saute Christ, and that speaker was applauded, whilst I was coudereued for writing against such biasphemious expressions. Sweet wine means the strongest sort of wine; it Is the juice of .the grape or any juice boiled down to prevent so speedy fer- mentation, but when it does, ferment it is much stronger. TIIF, Pi INE or CANA. All writers of note claim this wthe was of the fermented kind, hence the veto against liquor dealers i.8 removed, and permission can be granted to sell without sin. Grape juice can produce• alcohol but the art was not then known I understand by the governor calling it good wine that he meant stronger in oxygen. If this wine was unferment- ed the other must have been ferment- ed, so they must have had fermented wine at this marriage contrary to Jew- ish customs, but the little book may pos- sibly know as little of Jewish euetouhs at marriages as be does about the wine of ancient times. As I have explained so many times this miracle of convert- ing water into wine that I will not do so now but in my researches on this Erie 1 have made one great scientific discovery, viz.: -that "eacramental wiue" to be of any spiritual benefit must be fermented and of the best quality. The book says Passover wine must be free from fermentation. The feast of the Passover was also the feast of the unleavened bread; as I understand this the leaven has reterence to the wrong doings of the Pharisees, that hie diselples would oo guided by the dictates of this new spiritual life. The fermenting process of wine making is oue of a purifying nature and when completed is comprised of oxygen, byd roger and carbon. I suppose the little book will admit that the atmosphere we breath is a. good creature of God, but this atmosphere contains two ale meets the same as contained in wine, viz : oxygen, carbon and water, all natural elements, hence the good creatures of God. Now, so long as the percentage of oxygen in wine does not exceed the amount in air, there would be no danger of druukenness, being very common, Grape wine is anti- septic, wine is anti septic, wine of suit ably strength is not only antiseptic, but any animal matter placed in it is free from corruption. Scripture says "this corruption must put on incorrup tion, this mortality immortality;" are not these quotations significant as to the nature of wine. The last quota tion, " not given to much wine," is not handldd by this little book, more than to say it was unfermented and a per- son might take too much. (To be concluded next week) C. PROUTY.
