Woes of Drunkenness.-Isa, xxviii. 7-xg.
Commentary. -1. The northern king-
dom warned (vs. 1-4). In these verses
the prophet refers to the approaching
rum of the Israelites by Shalnxaneser,
Whose power is compared to a tempest
or flood, and his keenness .to the eager-
ness with which one plucks and swallows
the grape that is soonest ripe. Isaiah
shows the rulers of Jerusalem their
own danger by pointing out the run and
devastation which had come to the
• northern kingdom through drunkenness.
The prophet's words were also a warn-
' ing to Samaria. Upon this beautiful
city, referred to as "the crown of'pride"
(v. 1), together with the "fat valleys"
around Samaria, was pronounced a teh-
' rible "woe." Wine had ruined them; and
because of their gross wickedness the
Lord had decided to destroy them. Al-
ready the Assyrians were whetting their
swords and preparing to swoop down
a upon them. The destruction would be
complete, like that caused by a terrific
hailstorm or a "great flood (v. 2). Sant-
aria would be "trodden under foot"
(v. 3).
I1. The evils of strong drink (vs. 7, 8).
7. But they also have erred -The pro-
phet now turns to the Southern king-
dom, the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
"Jerusalem as well as Samaria has her
inebriates and scenes of disgusting in-
toxication. Though her punishment is
noi, as near as that of he northern king-.
• dom, there are seen the marks of sure
decline." "Note the effects of strong
drink portrayed in this verset 1. Erring,
wandering into forbidden ways and
places. 2. Even the religious teachers
led astray . 3. Wholly absorbed in appe-
tite. 4. They cannot see things as they
are, or judge correctly. 5. The whole life
• is perverted." Through wine -"Palestine
was in antiquity famous for its vines
and wine. There are ten different names
in the Old. Testament for the vine, and
twelve for wine, and at least ninety
texts in which drunkenness and drinking
are mentioned."-(ieikie.
closed their ears and "would not heart -
and were going on in threat fancied secur-
ity to eertain destraetion. He awaitedthem that there was only one method
under heaven whereby they could be
saved; that every other resource would
fail in the day of God's visitation. The
prophet further adds that the judgments
of God would be levelled against them,
and. that all the means to which they
trusted for warding them off would be
of no avail.
13. And fall backward, etc. -They bad
had great light, and this made them
great sinners, and they deserved a ter-
rible 'punishmetzt. We ,eannoii .vtaoliatee,
God's law with impunity. Those who per

offers of mercy will ultimately be cast

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
S.
Strong drink leads to ruin. 1. Even
those high in the church were affected
by its tremendous power. "The priest
and the prophet have erred through Wine"
(v. 7). Those who should have been
towers of strength in the nation. those
who should have set a good example to
their people, were themselves ruined by
it. They swallowed it, and were "swal-
lowed up" by it. The ravages of rum
are not confined to the lower strata of
society, but it attacks all classes alike,
and brings down the king from his
throne, the .priest from his holy office
and the prophet from his sacred calling.
2. The consequences were disastrous.
When drunken with wine the prophet
erred in vision. He could not compre-
hend the truth, and was in a moral con-
dition to believe lies; Sad the state of
the people when the prophet's vision is
blurred through strong drink. The priest
stumbled in judgment. He was incapable
of ministering in holy things and bear-
ing the sins of the people before the
Lord of hosts. It is an evil day for any.
land when the leaders of the church or
state are given to strong drink, and
when the sanction iniquity mang the
people.
3. Following the example of the priest
and the prophet, the people became cor-
rupted. "All tables are full of vomit"
(v. 8). Whet a filthy, odious, beastly,
rude, ill-mannered thing the sin of
The priest -They were especially Mex.-
, cusable because of God's word. No priest
could lawfully drink wine or - strong
drink (Lev. x. 9). The prophet -Not
'persons especially inspired of God, but
official Members of the prophetic order.

Ezek. xiii. 2-14; Zeph. iii. 4). Pnl. Com.

' them down, body and soul." -Dr. Burrell.
, They become wholly,absorbed in their
appetite. Men throw way all they have,
and all. they hope for, in this world and
in the next -family, fortune, happiness,
j life, heaven, everything -to gratify their
appetite for strong drink.-Peloubet. Err

Com. • Aa the outer eye may see double
and become blind under the influence of
drink, so the inner eye sees double and
is gradually blinded. The true path
climbs, they lose it and go downward.
They lose the true light and follow false
, lights to outer darkness. We need a
constant, clear and well-defined vision of
unseen things; God, His kingdom, the
ideal life, the goal of life.e--Leavitt. Gert s
ministers need a pure heart,'a clean life
and a clear vision. Mumble in judgment
-Stagger when pronouncing judgment.
'Priests and prophets were sometimes
judges. Life is a practical enterprise.
It requires a quick conscience, a clear,
discriminating, accurate judgment, -Lea-
vitt. Submit your judgment to Ilim,
that He may think through your mind,
'Or direct you to a first conclusion.-
Meyer-.
8. There is no place clean -The liquor
business is gat. filthy business, and every
. ane who is engaged in it or bus any-
; thing to do with it is made filthy by
it. It is the parent of uncleanness. The
body, mind, and soul of the one con-
netted with it become polluted and cor-
rupt.
M. The scoffers reproved (vs. ivx.
1.3). 9, 10, Whom shall He • teach, etc. -
Many regard these verses as the words
used by the scoffers as they mocked,
ridiculed and scornfully rejected the
' instructions of the prophet. "They treat
Goa's method of dealing with then. and
' warning thein by ;liis prophets, with
- contempt rind derision. 11'hat, say they,
doth he treat us as mere infants jul.t
• weaned? Doth he teach its like little
children, constantly going over the same
easy lessons ?"--Clarke. We must eon-
ceive verse 10 as spoken in mimicry.
. with a mocking motion of the hcetd, and
in a childish, stammering tone. -Ewald.
For it is precept up precept (R. V.) -
This is the true meaning. The prophet
had been repeating the same warning
' again and again, and the people were
tired of it. Like nuns* to -day they pre-
ferret, not to hear about their sins. 11,
Nay. (R. 1?.) -The prophet's -reply bogies
with this verse. Isaiah stacks these scof-
fers, who considered themselves perfect-
ly secure from evil, with great fares
.and severity, turning their own langu-
age, ,spoken in mockery, back upon them-
selves. "Yes, it shall be as you sny, ye
shall be taught by a strange tongue,
and in a strange land, whither you twill
be carried into
captivity. ity. hen you will

III. Strong drink destroys' the body.
Sootier or later the strongest constitu-
tion yields ,to the subtle poison and is
broken, and the victim becomes a physi-
cal wreck. Those addicted. to the use of
rune easily become a prey to disease and
soon pass off the stage of action, The
graveyards are filled with the bodies, of
young men who have been cut down in
their prime by this cruel destroyer.
LV. Strong &rink robs the drunkard
of his property. This kind of slavery
is very expensive. A gentleman recently
came into the Olive Branch mission, in
Chicago, in a 'beastly, state of intoxi-
cation, and was converted before he left
the roots. He testified that he had been
for years a judge• on the bench, honor-
ed and respected, and possessed of great
wealth. He stated that his yearly gifts
to charity amounted to thousands of dol-
lars, but that lie had lost ltis wealth,

HIS CROP IS TREES.
THE FORESTER AIMS TO PRODUCE
TREES AS GRAIN IS PRODUCED.
"A farmer whose crop is trees" has
been aptly suggested as a •definition of
a forester, Careful consideration of the
definition will go far toward removing
the haze under which tbe terms "for-
estry"•and "forester" lie in the average -
mina.
The farmer's aim in his work is dis-
ttnetly utilitarian, and the same is true
of the forester. ' In raising a field of
wheat the farmer pays an exceedingly
small amount of attention to the aes
thetic side of the situation; it doesn't
natter to him whether the field ofs
wheat looks pretty or not. What he.
wants is to bring the wheat to maturity
and then harvest it and get it away to'
the milk or the elevator. He can't afford.
to lease it jtts'.-becanse Inc.thinks; it is•
pretty.
Now apply the definition to the for-
ester. Put trees in the place of wheat.
The forester is raising trees to supply a
demand for timber, just as the farmer
is raising wheat to supply a demand for
breadstuffs. 'Ihe aesthetic side of the
situation may appeal to him, but at the•
sane time he must recognize that the
aesthetic side is entirely subordinate,
and that his object is to supply the de
,nand for lumber,
Forestry is the care of forest trees use
der forest conditions. The care of shade
trees does not conte under forestry at
all. True, trees used as shade trees are
usually forest trees; but no one who haut
been in a forest will fur a moment main-
tain that they are growing under forest
conditions. the care of shade trees is -
arboriculture, and the arborieulturist ie.
seeking to produce beauty of form in the
tree, while the fd'reatcr is alter a long
trunk, clear of branches, which will pro-
duce the largest possible amount of tim-
ber.
While the forester's Management has
utilitarian ends, still the forest, under
his management, will continue to be the
thing of beauty it has exer been. The•
visitor will continue to find there rest
and recreation, and it will still remain.
the home of the wild game. just as the
German forests -the best managed in,
the world ---are now. But the crop of
timber cut from the forest will be larger
and better, and the trees will be cut
when they are mature. and not allowed,
to remain until they become overripe and.
decay; for it is just as possible to leave
trees until they are overripe as it is to
leave wheat until too ripe.
