To the Town Clerk, Dublin, Perth Co,, Ontario, Canada. Dear Madam,— At a period when our country has through the adoption of a new con- stitution proclaimed and defined anew its historical identity, and the prin- ciples which have governed its past and are adopted as the basis of its future development, it seems approp- riate that those communities in dis- tant countries which have taken the names of their towns or districts from Ireland should be advised of our progress and invited to share our feelings of pride and joy. -- For that reason the Irish Tourist Association, representing and signal- izing Ireland's welcome to visitors of other countries, desires me to extend to you, and through you to your fel- low -citizens, on the occasion of Ire- land's National Festival—St. Patrick's Day—a cordial message of good -will from the old town in the old country, whose exiles in an earlier peeled must have been responsible for the trans- fer and transplanting of an old name. Your namesake town in Ireland has great tradit'ons and is proud that its name is perpetuated in a greater country whose friendship for our own needs no emphasis here.

Introduction to the Lesson by 1_ Lesson Text—Mark 6:53-56; Judges does the pious 'Church of to -day trust REV. GORDON A. PEDDIE, B.A. 13:12.14. 7 Cor. 3:16,17; Rom. 12:1,2. Golden Text—Judges 13:4. It is all but pitiful to see the fev- erish attempt which the Editors of the International Sunday School Les- son have made to find in the Scrip- tures passages which they might use as "proof -tests" to confirm them in their theory regarding the problem of drink. Even a hasty reading of the passages selected will convince the student of the Scriptures that neither the texts themselves nor their con- texts are concerned primarily (and some of them not even remotely) with the use of alcoholic drink. If the task of the Sunday School teach- er, the task of the Church, is to ex- pound the Scriptures then the Church must ever be- on its guard against the presumptuous vice of making the Scriptures expound some pet moral or religious conunandent of men. It may even be that if the Church of this day were to sit in humility be- fore the Written Word. and cry af- ter God's holy Spirit to quicken into life the letter of the Scriptures—it may be that the Church would come to a radically different attitude to- wards the question of drink than is now held so widely among the most pious of her people. When the kernels have all been eaten it provides an interesting, but not very satisfying, game for little children to search in a bowl of empty shells for a few,remaining pieces of delicious nut treat. When the Truth has been forsaken the Church delights itself in keeping up the game by pro- dding stere and there among the husks of "relative truths" associated with moral and religious matters. With the denial of the Truth the Life also has been lost, But the devil knows how to prevent the Church from mak- ing an open acknowledgement of her lost condition; He turns the Church's mind and heart away from the joy - ons liberty of the Gospel of the for- giveness of sin, and fastens her at- tention upon questions of moral re- form. Now the -devil knows that there is 110- one busier than the re- fotmer, and, of course, above all, the religious reformer. The devil also knows that business, especially that of the religious reformer, is the best possible way of creating the illusion of life. Not only is the Church hard pres- sed to find Scriptural con:firntation `,of its modern attitude towards the prob- leets of drink. It should be noted that even our Puritan forefathers held a totally different position on such matters than doesthe '"Temper- once advocate" within the Cburch to- day), but also in placing such an ex - aggregated einpliasis upon the impor- tance of this ,and upon other - similar moral questions, the Church shows that she has forgotten her primary task. Called to declare a: Word which itself liberates man from the bondage of the Law, a Church which has.for- gotteri that Word brings legalism back into its fold, and Maces upou. the shoulders of her already over- burdened people other man-made' bur- dens, grievous to be borne., The Church, indeed, limy even enter ,the arena. .of community politics and seen the assistance of the state to enforce her', "reform ineasuresr': 'so feebly the power of the Word of God which is her sole strength and her only hope. The herald of the "Gospel' becomes the religious, or even the political, "reformer". The Church must know that her busy-ness with social and moral questions, however serious these questions may be in themselves, as the drink problem cer- tainly is, the Church must know that this "reform business." is a clear in- dication that she has forsaken her one true teem among men: SHE I -IAS SOLD HER BIRTHRIGHT FOR A MESS OF POTTAGE. . A Church which delights, as 001 Church of to -day does delight, in set- ting up "the teaching of Jesus" as higher than that of the Old Testa- ment, or than that of the 'New Tes- tament Epistles, must take very ser- iously the fact that Jesus Himself, neither by word nor by deed, provides an example of the modern reform at- titude on the question of liquor. The Editors of our Sunday School Lesson knew this when they were unable to find in the Gospel of St, Mark any suitable passage for this lesson. Per- haps nowhere may Jesus' attitude towards our present problem, and to- wards all such questions; be seen more clearly than in Mark 7:14-23, "Hearken unto me every one of you, land understand: there is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile hint: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked hint concerning the parable. And he saith unto them, Are ye without under- standing also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot de- file him: because it entereth not in- to his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all treats? And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of :Wren, proceed evil thoughts, adultries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wick- edness, deceit, lasciviousness, and ev- il eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: all these things come from within, and defile the man." It will be best, and in strict keep- ing with the desire of the'Church to- day, to let this word of Jesus' inter- pret the passage froin 1 Cor, 3, re- garding the sin of defiling the"tem- ple of God." It will, indeed, be best that we seek in the Gospels the words of Jesus to assist us in the .,exposi- tion of each, of the passages selecte:l for this week, ' We may then truly find that our only hope of dealing with the chink Question, yes, our only hope of taking the problem seriously, will he by putting a complete end to our foolish concern over this, and ov- er other such moral questions, and to return to our true and proper task: the proclamation of the Word of the free Grace of God. The chink }irabletn is indeed a "thorn in the flesh" of the Church; the "messenger of Satan" to .buffet us: But with this, as with ev- ery "thorn", OUR efforts, and OUR concern, and OUR reforms, witness only to our UNBELIEF—for the ans- wer resides ireathat seemingly sot, Weals word, "MY GRACE IS SUFFI,- CIEN}1 FOR-41.PE1" • (2„ Cor.i2:T 94
