THZ LESSON IN ITS SETTING.
Tame.—The destruction of Sodotn
took place in 13.C. 1004. The book
of Proverbs was written about B.C.
1000.
?lace.—The city of Sodom was
located, modern archaeologists be-
lieve, at the northern end of the
Deal Sea.`
Cenosis 13:13. "Now the then of
Sodom were wicked and sinners
agaimb Jehovah exe:eedingly." The
sin of Sodom was sensuality and that
of the vilest type. The citizens of
this; city had sunk to the lowest
plant: to which it is possible for men
to drop, and all t. eir life, individual-
ly and corporately, was foul and
corrupts; with sin, which, like some
fatal plague, would, unless destroy-
' ed, surely infect all who trafficked
with .these immortal sreatures.
Tho des. ructusof the cities was
neeceeady. The fact that God did
destroy them is sufficient proof that
God was convinced there was nothing
else to be clone.
"The sun was risen upon the earth
when Lot came unto Zoar. 24. Then
Jehovah rained upon Sodom and
upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire
from Jehovah out of heaven. 25, And
he overthrew these cities, and all
the Plain, and all the inhabitants of
the oities, and that which grew upon
the. ground." For a long time many
Biblical welters denbted the actuality
of the events in the 19th chapter of
Genesis regarding the destruction of
Sodom and Gomorrah, but today no
fairminded scholar would even think
of casting doubt upon this passage,
for we now :,ave overwhelming
evidences testifying to its histori-
city, if we needed such evidence.
"It was in the year 1929, that Father
Alexia Mallon and M. Rene Neuviile,
engaged by the Pontifical Biblical In-
s stitute of Jerusalem, when excavat-
ing at the northtern end of the Dead
tSea, under Mount Nebo, came upon
e.E.lethe burnt-out ruins of a city, de-
.grayed by fire 'and ashes, which was
'neve rebuilt. It belonged to the ead-
1y.,breeze age, and..thee,,believe.it to
have been Sodom. Its pottery, dating
from 2500 to 2100, quite coincides.
Now the battle of the Kings referred
to above, took place in the Vale of
Siddem which was full of slime -pits
'(Gen. 14:10). The Hebrew word for
`slime••pits' means 'bitumen', and this
agaia is a corroboration of the battle
being fougth at the northern end of
the lake where bitumen, sulphur and
similar combustibles are largely de-
posited to -day.
Dent. 32:31-33. "For their rock is
not as our Rock, even our enemies
themselves being judges. 32. For
the vine is of vine of Sodom, and
of the fields of Gomorrah: their
the poison of serpents, and the cruel
venom of asps.'
The meaning of the whole passage
is that Israel, which had been smite
ten by its foes si' Quid have been
able to defeat them with little diffi-
culty, 'because the heathen bad no
such God as they had; but the Lord
'had given up his people to the heath-
en because their fruit resembled the
fruit of Sodom in its wickedness. •
"Who hath woe? who hath sor-
row?" Literally the Hebrew reads,
'Who hath Oh? Who hath Alas?'
These two exclamations are, as it
were, actually taken from the cries
of the drunkard himself after the
thrill of intoxication had passed, and
the excitement of a drunken orgy is
over. Then floes the one so indulging
discover his physical woe, the woe of
shame, of disappointment, of money
wasted, of friends lost, of a body
weakened, possibly a position lost, as
actually millions could testify, or
loved ones driven away. "Who hath
contentious? Who hath complain-
ing?" Anyone who has observed men
under the influence of intoxicating
liquor will testify to the remarkable
accuracy of the picture which the -
writer draws of the consequences of
drink. A normally peaceful man,
when drunk, is ready to quarrel with
anyone, and, if no one wishes to
quarrel with him, then he will make
every attempt to anger someone, so
that a fight can be engaged in.
"Who hath wounds without cause?"
That is, wounds which he has need-
lessly acquired, the result either of
a quarrel which had no justification
whatever, or of a bad fall which he
would not have suffered had he been
sober. "Who hath redness of eyes?"
The word "redness" may be trans-
lated "darkness" or "dullness." Sir
Victor Horsley, a famous British sur-
geon,
urgeon, speaking of the consequences
of alcoholic intoxication, says: "The
sensory derangements involve also
the special senses, especially that of
sight."

grain ra't'ion may consistof from 10:
to 12 pounds of grain daily itt three
feeds, At heavy work the ration
should consist of 1 to 14 pounds of
grain and 1 pound of hay for every
100 p ounds of live weight. A 1,500-
pound horse would thus receive 15.
to 19 pounds of grain and 15 pounds,
of hay per day. .A good method ofe
feeding is as folllows t morning, 6'
pounds grain, 5 pounds hay; noon, 6
pounds grain, 8 pounds hay; evening,.
4 pounds grain, 8 pounds 'hay'. Rolled`
oats or whole oats with a little ]arae
are ideal grain rations. A little barley
or corn, rolled, may replace some ofa
the oats for heavy working horses.
Cut the grain ration to ono -'half wu

molasses and an occasional dash of

during the fitting period and while at,

Salt, preferably in rock form,.
should be before the horses ,;t .all
times. Allow water freely and fre-

rather than after feeding, Water ail"

carefully. Daily washing•of shoulders'
after the day's work with :,co'd salt
water will cleanse and toughen the
skin, especially in young hoteas.
Particular attention should be paid:,
to the teeth and feet of the horse.
If necessary, have the teeth examined
and 'floated" to provide proper grind-
ing surfaces. Trim the feet ;carefully,
keeping the wearing surfaces leve.;
For work on the land, shoeing is not?
always necessary, . but where needed`'
frequency and, correctness of shoeing
is Important. Lice, 'worms;;.' and bots,
take their toll of the horse's energy
and should be eliminated in the ca
paign.

the milk of, human ,kindness, will
work wonders in the development of

30. "They that tarry long at the
wine; they that g., to seek out mixed
wine." (See also Isa. 5:11.) The
word here translated "seek out"
literally means "to test,' and it may
refer "to the connoisseur, the man
who prides himself on being well
versed in brands of liquor."
31. "Look not thou upon the wine
when it is read, when et sparkleth In
the cup, when it goeth down smooth-
ly." Here is;`'a description,. of w.er

seems to have been red (Gen. 49:11;

32. "At the last it biteth like a
serpent, and stingeth like an adder."
But there is an inevitable, inescap-
able bitterness and stinging waiting
for the man who so indulges. A ser-
pent may look beautiful, but its bite
is deadly. Wine and intoxicating Ii-
quors may delign: the palate for a
moment, but the poison that is re-
sident in such liquid will take its
toll, and the joy with which the
drinking man begins his evening of
debauchery terminates in grief. -
