LESSON V1. -MAY 8, 1910.
Temperance Lesson. -Prov, 23: 29-35.
Commentary. -1. Questions answered
(vs. 20,30). 29.. Who hath woe? Who
hath sorrow -who hath Oh? who hath
Alas?"-R.V., margin. 'These words ex-
press sorrow and suffering of the most
intense degree. Ilere is woe that includ-
es loss of health, loss of strength, lo.ee
of property, loss of mental power, ass
of affection, loss of friends, loss of repu-
tation, loss of character, loss of life, loss
of heavers. "Some one has ca'1ed this
lesson the drunkard's looking gime. It
is also the other end of the made •cte
drinker's career:" -Baker. A. stateem,Ont
was issued in 1007 signed by One hun-
dred and thirty-three professors of Ger-
man universities and other institutions
of learning, clearly settingforth
the f
set
that woes of various kids
are certain
to come to those who use intoxicating
liquors. The following are the opening
sentences of that statement "It is a
scientifically indisputable fact, that alco-
holic beverages more than any other one
factor undermine the physical and intel-
lectual powers of the race, endanger
the general welfare, and create heredi-
tary ailments and degeneracy. More
than half of the inmates of our penal
institutions were actuated by alcohol to
the criminal deeds for which they were
convieted; about one-fourth of the in-
sane and feeble-minded owe
their i2
P.
t-
iable
fate to alcohol. Domestic misery,
poverty and degeneracy everywhere fol-
low in the wake of this poisoner of the
raee. Alcohol has been shown to be the
moving cause of one-tenth of the cases
of violent death. In Germany alone an
average of 1,300 persons a year lose
their lives through alcohol directly or
indirectly; 1,600 commit suicide for the
same reason, and about 30,000 annually
sink into delirium tremens and other
mental derangement. This dreadful
amount of misery at the time entails
an enormous economic burden on our
people." Who hath contentions -The
spirit of strong drink seems to be the
spirit of strife and contention. Given
a company of men with appetites for
strong drink and a ,liberal supply of li-
quor, and there are sure to be quarrels
and fights. Conscience and reason are
for the time dethroned, self-control is
lacking and dangerous disputes arise.
Babbling. -"Complaining," -R. V. It is
a common thing for the drunken man
to talk foolishly, as well as complain-
ingly. Persons under the influence of
alcohol say things they would have no
thought of uttering when sober. Cau-
tion and modesty are for the time being
absent, and the tongue is given loose
reign. Wounds without cause -Because
strong drink takes away reason, and
stirs up a quarrelsome spirit, the victim
is not in a condition to use -prudence in
protecting himself. Uncounted and un-
recorded saloon brawls are a sad. com-
mentary upon these words. The wife
and children of the drunkard times
without number suffer such wounds at
the hands of those who are their natural
protectors. These wounds without cause
are "not honorable sears of war a moth-
er's hand burned in the rescue of her
child." -Fraser. Reduess of eyes-lt is
the eye that declares unconsciously one's
feelings and intelligence, so it is the eye
that first betrays the effects of alco-
hol
30. They that tarry long at the win e
-The answer to the questions of the pre-
ceding verse. No other class of men ans-
wers to the description nearly as will as
drunkards. "The practise, prevalent in
the East, of drinking to a late hour
in the night, seems to have been cern-
mon among the Hebrews." - Leen 'p.
One of the prominent features of the
drinking ambit is, the tendency to fol-
low up one drink with another. The
Japanese have a proverb: "A man took
adrink, then the drink took a drink,
then the drink took the mail." This is
where the fallacy of the moderate drink-
er a.p,pears. To continue to drink mod-
erately isthe exception y 2r lou and not the rule
for the rule of strong drink is, more
and more until the day of final destruc-
tion. Theythat go to seek- The appe-
tite for alcoholic drink ones formed de-
mands satisfaction and leads the
enchained vietim to seek what;
Six Benjamin Ward Richardson,
the great authority upon al-
cohol,
calla, "Satan in (solution."
They seek for it, sometimes Makin;
great exertions. They seek it in viola-
tion of t:he hits of he,alth, the law of
right reason, and in many instances in
violation of the law of the land. In the
oringina1 the word seek is applied to
search after truth. "The idea of culti-
vated men, capable of searching out
high questions of statesmanship, devot-
ing their intelligence to the problem
of determining the relative merits of
two or more compounded beverages." -
Beecher. Mixed wine- Not different
iamb of wines mixed together, but
Wines with spices, aromatic herbs and
other ingredients, introduced to heigh-
ten the flavor and increase their intox-
icating power.
11. Exhortation to sobriety (v. 31).
31. Look not thou- The steps often fol-
low the eyes, and the exhortation is .ap-
propriate: Temptation is more easily ea -
suited when first preeented than later.
He who recognizes the temptation, end
.parleys with. it, has already half yield-
ed to its power. We are urged to keep
,away from the vile thing, and ever con -
eider it as vile. "Moderate drinking nev-
er yet made a. sober man and has made
millions drunkards." --S, S, Illustrator.
..When it is red -The wines of Palestine
(were chiefly red and. these were preferr-
ed to the white, and wines were oven
tinted to heighten the red color. The
Hebrew 'verb is reflexive and his x vi-
reacity and poetic fire lacking in the
41Ing'1ish. It is neacer the exact mean-
ing to say that wine is here personified
Doomed to Stiffed!'
RESCUED BY °t FRUIT-A-TIVES
CHARLES BARRETT. Ess.
Harbor au. Bouche, March 24, 1909.
"I suffered terribly from Biliousness
and Dyspepsia for fifteen years, was
treated by physicians and took many
remedies but got no relief. Then I took
"Fruit -a -fives", and this medicine
completely cured sue when everything
else failed. To all sufferers from Indi-
gestion, Biliousness and Constipation,
1 strongly advise them to try this
fruit medicine". Charles Barrett.

bought some corn, a t.?. the boy started
on his way to the d&Or. ' The keeper of
the den called the hey` bade and gave
hira a glass of, whiskey, missed with sugar
and water, saying it was good, for colds.
The boy pronounced it "Good," and went
away. Then this saloon -keeper said,
"The prohibition crakes are injuring ns,
and unless we continue making dru,nk-
ards out of the young they will soon
have them all on thelr.srde. If that boy
keeps selling corn .o this side of the
river it won't bo three, weeks till he will
buy drinks of me. They learn easy when
young," and he laughed heartily. Then
the monster went -onto enumerate the
many boys he• had taught to drink. One

he taught to drink thsaugh spite.
Trust' in Christ. "Looking unto Jesus
the author and finishttlaif our faith," is
the remedy for every ill (Heb. 12:2): As
the bitten Israelites_beakedto the brazen
serpent, so the sinner stung by the ser-
pent may look up for health and life,
Any of them could look. Even the weak
ones who could not raise their heads
from their pillows could look. Even the
dying ones who could not lift their
hands ?multi look. A little child bitten
by the serpent :can look, So easy has
God made the way of salvation, even
from the curse of intemperance. One
must 'be determined. T ening half-heart-
edly from the evil will not avail, God
if
who arefully

gives his grace to

his sin, yields fully God and trusts
him, will find the power of habit broken.
The man's own effeeitt joined with the
power of divine brace will accomplish
the desired deliverance, and faith in
Christ will enable the former victim to
keep free from the cl las of Satan.
Be filled with the slpirit. The Spirit
of God is directly opposed to the spirit
of wine. Paul says, "Walk in the Spirit,
and ye •shall not fulfil the lust of the
flesh -.adultery... :murders, drunken-
ness, revellings, and such like" (Gal. 5:
16-21). If we know the exhilaration of
.spiritual enjoyment we shall not etre
for the unhealthy exeitcment of wine-
bibbing. If we have the tone of fire
w•itimin speaks in the dt•monetration of
the Spirit and of power, we .hall loathe
the garrulous, incoherent tongue of the
drunkard. "If we enjoy singing the
psalms of Zion, we shall have no love for
the (leechanalian song of reveling. If
we know the biessscdnese of ;:oiug to the
house of God with his dear children, ana
are in the habit of leading sinners to the
Savior, we shall never tare for, nor lead
others into places where there is any
temptation to partake of that whieh

Beecher. Giveth his color in the cup -
"Sparkleth in the cup." -R. V. Refer
ence is made to the bead, or eye upon
the wine, that sparkles to please the
fancy of the lover of strong drink.
When it moveth itself aright -"When
it goeth down smoothly." -.R. V. "Re-
fers to its flowing in a beautiful, trans
lucid stream from the flagon into the
•goblet, or its gliding so pleasantly and
gratefully down the throat."
IIs. Warnings (vs. 3a-35.) 31. At
the last -The sight of the wine may be
pleasing, the taste and odor may ue a'-
tractive, the companionship offered niay
be inviting, but "at the last" it is some-
thing very different. it promises well
at the beginning, but is a base deceiver.
Biteth like a serpent, and st!ngetth like
an adder -The meaning is that it stings
painfully and fatally. It may also mean
compreatensively; for there is no wound
snore immediately prevalent in its effects
over all the functions than the bite of a
poisonous snake, which at once effects
the blood, the digestive organs, and the
mind. So is it with intoxicating liquors.
Our delicate and compossee physh:al na-
ture, our intellect, and one soul are alt
destroyed by it. The premise species of

33. Thine eyes shall behold strange wo-
men -"Thine eyes shall behold strange
things." -R. 'V. The drunkard's vision is
confused, distorted. One of the effects
of wine is to inflame the passions, and
arouse the baser nature. The carousals
that attend the freely flowing wine are
void of all decen<'y and a reproach to
civilization. The Revised Version inti-
mates one of the fearful effect, of eon-
tdnttecl indulgence in alcoholic beverages,
delirium tremens. 'Thine heart shall ut-
ter perverse things -With the intellect
clouded, and elle moral sense blurred by
indulgence in drink, the drunkard says
the most unreason:tblf' and inconsistent
things. lie loses self-control, and be-
comes incapable of transaeting bneiness
or of being agreeable to his sober friends.
34. Lieth down in the midst of the sea
-To make one's bed on the waves of the
sea would be to be swallowed up in
dratin. So is the drunken man. Or as a
pilot who has gone to sleep when his
slap was in the troughs of the sea, aT-
lot�'ing the tiller to Flip out of his band,
and his ship to be swamped with the
waves which he might have outridden;-

The Remedies for Wine Drinking.
Total abstinence. "Look not thou nip -
on the wine" (a. 31). Do not waste one
glance upon it. Do not put yourself in
the way of* temptation. "13e not among
winebibbers" (v. 20). The theory that
home-made wine and cider are compara-
tively harmless is erroneous. There is
no drunkenness more brutal than that
resulting from cider drinking. A daily
newspaper contained this item: "A silk
weaver murdered his wife and two little
children and set fire to his house., He
had half a dozen barrels or home-made
wine and eider in his cellar, and drinhiug
these made hint crazy.'' 'Ceaeh the eehil-
dren not to expose themselves to tempta-
