Temperance Lesson. -Rom. 13: 8.14.
Clomrneritary---The law of love (vs. 8-
)0. j:
8. Owe no anon -"it cannot be sup-
posed that the apostle meant to prohibit
the contracting of debts on any accocurt,
Olhrristians are indeed under the 'highest
obligations to pay all legal deuiau.ds
without reluctance or needless delay
and with great punctuality, and they
'should avoid• all :superfluous 'expense,
and carefully guard against contracting
any debts which they have not a. rea-
sonable prospect of discharging. They
ought also to stand aloof from all ad-
venturous speculations or rash engage -
:melds, beyond their circumstances, and
!whatever may expose thein to the dan-
ger and discredit of not rendering to all
their dries." Love one another -"in the
preceding verses, the apostle has been
. showing the duty, reverence, awl obedi-
ence which all Ohristians, from tie high-
est to the lowest, owe to the civil mag-
istrate, whether he be emperor, king,
proconsul, or other state officer; here
e shows thein their duty to one anoth-
er, but this ie widely different from
that which they owe to the civil govern-
ment; to the first they owe subjection,
za vorence, obedience and tribute; to the
clatter they owe nothing but mutual
love, and those officee-which necessarily
spring ,from it" 9. Shalt not commit,
arta.-fn this verse the apostle quotes
from the law as though he would say
that the perfect love ;which he declares
they owe to one another will enable
them to fulfill all the obligations of
this law. And whatever he has omitted,
which the law contains, is all covered in
&seeping the law of love. Love thy
neighbor as thyself ---"When this is done
in reality there is completeness and we
keep the whole law. 13e that loves sm-
other will not deprive him of his wife,
of his life, of his property, of his good
name; and will not even permit a desire
to eater into his heart, Which would
lead him to wish to possess anything
that is the property of another." 'Tee
Ia.w of love forbids the use of intoxi-
cating liquor .forbids its sale to others,
and will not permit us to assist those
Irersons who sell liquor to others, either
by lending them money, by renting our
buildings to ,them, or in any way giving
them our support and showing them fa-
vor.
10. Worketh no ill -The law of love
forbids the doing of anything that would
injure ourselves or others. "Where ]ove
reigns the golden rule is practised and
he oho loves, acts toward his neighbor
els he °would' that his neighbor .should
act toward hims therefore this 'law of
love can never work ill toward' anotber,
and thus the law is fulfilled by love."
Intemperance is the 'exact opposite of
this. It causes men to break every com-
mandment, and to work ill of every
kind to,;his neighbor.

would stop all thought of following any
sinful inclination of their nature. To
be clothed with a person, means to
enter into his views to imitate him, and
to be wholly on his side. "Christ put on
man in nature and. condition; man
should put on Christ in disposition and
character, He became partaker of our
physical nature; we should become par-
taker of His moral nature. Christ put
on man, that man might put., on Christ."
The flesh -By flesh. here we are to un-

tention to the cravings of a corrupt na-
ture, in planning to provide for its gra-
tification. Intemperance puts off Christ
and provides for the lusts of the flesh.
Christ is able to so completely cleanse
the heart from sin and fill it with love,
that no principle of sin or desire for sin
will remain.
Temperance instruction. -:lice effects
of alcohol are disastrous enough at best,
but the injuries to the consumer are im-
mensely increased by the widespread
adulteration of liquors. The extent to
which rank poisons are mixed and sold
for pure liuuors, is startling. Any poi-
son which i' irritant or stimulating in
its action, and /emetic in its tendency,
which benumbs sensation and makes one
dizzy, will produce effects similar to
those induced by alcohol. There are a
number of such poisons which have been
widely steed. Three cents' worth of
strychnine and a gallon of water, when
mixed with three gallons of whiskey,
often have been sold by distillers as
"pure" whiskey. A retailer buys a gal-
lon of this and proceeds to adulterate
it further, making two'gallous out of
one, by adding stramonium and water.
Stramonium, which is a powerful nar-
cotic, is likely to cramp the stomach
of the drinker, so a little opium is added
to prevent this. Belladonna and coeulus
are similar poisons often used in adulter-
ations, while a large chunk of +nl isse
is sometimes put in a keg of liquor to
produce its narcotic esiete.
It Inas been said that beer is not brew-
ed now, but manufactured. Chemicals
are largely substituted for hops. Dur-
ing a recent epidemic of poisoning in
England. ten thousand beer drinkers
mare stricken with various forms of ar-
senical poison, and hundreds died, A
searching investigation by government
experts followed, showing that what was
advertised as "pure, harmless '• beer"
contained Portuguese pyrites, sulphuric
acid, white arsenic and brimstone in
large quantities. The brewers had over -

alcohol. This is a deadly poison, whioh
sometimes causes blindness `even when
handled. Being untaxed, it is " much
cheaper than grain alcohol; and as me-
thods have been found to deodorize it
and remove the disagreeable taste; it
can be mixed with ordinary (ethyl) al-
cohol without easy detention; Out of 1,-

ed by the pure foodcommission of Penn-
sylvania, 1'`0 were found to contain the
rank poison.

1t is well to notethat sulphuric acid is
one of the two strongest ac;ds known,
and its effect on the lining of the seoan-

The New Law.
T. Love one another (v. 8). Love "fer-
vently" (L Pet. 1, 22)_ Lave "without
dissimulation" (Rom. 12, 9). "Love in.
deed and in truth" (L John 3, 18). Love
as Jesus loved. (John 15, 12). His love
was not .an inward sentiment, but an
attribute of being; not a statoof feeling,
but an outgoing of .11imself. Love es, a
testimony to the world of our diseiple-
ship. "By this shall all men know that
ye are my disciples, if ye have love ane
to another" (John 13, 35),
1I. Owe on man anything, but to love
(v. 8). Debt leads to extravagance, lux-
ury, defaulting, embezzling, dishonest
failure, banruptey, and through these,
to untold suffering. Tee command of
God, the example of Jesus Christ,the
verdict of philosophy, political eennomy
and eommou sense axe all e ainat the
contraction of debt. In the great Old
Testament chapter showing the duties of

"I am Jehovah." are repeated fifteen.

to the neighbor are found :n' "Dent. 22:

Love to our neighbor proves our love
to God. "Whosoever, loveth hien that

of him."
V. Love worketh no i11 (v. 10). There
are.. many employments that work ail to
others: The manufactu a and sale of
intoxicants; the traffic in tobaeco;
gambling; the pawn shop; pernicious
literature; impure pictures: horse rav-
ing: dancing school;;; theatres; billiard
and poo] rooms. Love to our neighbor
would itnpel one to get out and keep out
of all these kinds of business. They
who rent their buildings for. such pur-
poses or license any curse are partakers
of the sin of working ill. A. rumseller
