A DECLARATION OF
PRINCIPLES
To the Editor of the New Era.
In a late issue of the NEw ERA Mr Bezzo
4 complains that he has never seen anything
in support of total abstinence from the pen
of either Mr Marquis or myeelf. r The fol
lowing article on that subject was written
some years ago, but neverpublished; i send
it to you row for publication, not at all
with the expectation that it will meet with
the approval of Mr Bezzo, but rather in
the hope that it may benefit some one
whose mind is open for the reception of the
truth, and who is willing to submit his
prejudices to the authority of Scripture.
Of course when we get prohibition, ab-
stinence from the use of liquor, whether
total or partial, will cease to be a virtue.
Yours, JOHN KERNIOHAN
13enmiller.
WHY 1 Ani AN ABSTAINER,
In answer to the above question, I would
say in the first place that it is not because
the use of alcoholic or intoxicating liquor is
forbidden by the Word of God. On the
contrary it is not only permitted but en-
joine -mess the apostle Paul's well.
knot dvice to "1� son Timothy," to
"' , Die use of water, to which he had
been addicted, and to use wine instead. As
also in Dent. 14: 26, and Prov. 31: 6. These
are passages in which the use of wine and
strong drink is directly enjoined under
certain circumstances, but that the use of
such drinks is perfectly lawful may be
proved by direct inference from other pas-
sages, is evident, as for example I Peter
4:3, wherein the apostle is condemning
practices of which they to whom he is
writing have been guilty, mention i "excess
of wine," thus plainly indicating that
there is a use of wine which is not excess,
and therefore not to be condemned. This
— will be made plain if we place the words
"excess of" before anything which is wrong
in itself, a g, excess of lyipg, excess of steal-
ing, excess of swearing, etc.
Another passage which teaches the same
lesson is 1 Tim. 3: 8, in which the writer is
enumerating the qualifications of a deacon,
and mentions among other tbings that he
ought not to bo given to much wine, plainly
indicating that there was an amount of
wine that was not objaotionable. But
these passages are important, not.only for
teaching that the use of wine is permitted,
but they utterly destroy the absurd claim
Set up by teetotalers that the wine of
. Scripture was not intoxicating.
. I If the wine mentioned by Peter was not
intoxicating, how could there be any excess
in the age of it ? If the wine of which the
deacons might partake in moderation was
net intoxicating, why were they warned
against the danger of taking "too much T'
or if the wine of which the apostle advises
Timothy to partake was not intoxicating or
alcoholic, how could it benefit a stomach
injured by drinking water ?
7 be fact is that it is always the abuse or
excess of wine and strong drink or drunk-
enness that is condemned in the Bible, and
not the moderate use, which, as we have
4, already Seen, is recognized and permitted.
" But, it is frequently asked, if drunken-
ness is forbidden, must not all the steps
that lead to it be also forbidden ? or, so it
is sometimes put, if flue glasses will make
a man drunk, will not one glass make a
man one-fifth a drunkard 2 I answer, ap.
ply the Same rule which we have already
done in the case of the words "excess of,"
and see to what absurdity it will lead.
A man may then be one-fifth a murderer,
or one-fourth a liar, or one-third a thief.
No, No. The Word of God does not deal
in fractions of sins; a man must be either
drunk or sober, and God will make no mis-

principle which is easily applied to many
things beside the subject now under con-

the strong should aid the weak by their ex-

It would appear that many of the con-
verts from idolatry were in doubt in regard
to their attitude in reference to meat
which bad been offered in sacrifice to idols,
or meat as opposed to herbs, and-the:apea-
tle gives advice'and counsel in the following
language:—"For one believeth ,that'he may
eat all, things; another Wbo is weak eateth
herbs," a very apt illustration of the situa-
tion tv-day in reference to the question of
the use pf intoxicating liquor.
But listen to the grand rule of action
marked out by the apostle, "Let not him

let not him that eateth not judge him that

give an account of HIMSELF to God." (Noth-

is "Let us not therefore judge one another

bis 4rand determination, as expressed in 1
Cor. B: 13, "Wherefore if meat maketh my
brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while
the world standeth, lest I make my brother
to offend;" and the equally grand principle
enunciated in Rom. 15: 1, "We then that
are strong ought to bear the infirmities of
the weak, and not to please ourselves."
I think that no one who desires to become
a follower of Christ, who declared that" If
any man come after me let him deny him.

without denying himself many tbings al-
lowed to men of the world,) I say no one
who wisbes to become a Christian can read
these passages of Soripture without being
convinced that it is his duty to abstain
from the use of intoxicating liquor, which
no one can deny is the cause of stumbling
to many a weak brother; at least they con-
vinced me that such was my duty, and that
Eor me, whatever others might think, there
was nothing else to do but to abstain, but
of course my resolution does not bind any
one else whose reason and conscience do
not bring him to the some conclusion.
Bitch abstinence must be voluntary, for it is
worthy of remark that while thus pro-
Ilaiming his intention to abstain for the
sake of the weak brother, be gives in anotb-

Snob, then, are some of the reasons
which have led me to abstain from the use
if intoxicating liquor as a beverage, but be-

by the Word of God, I do not regard those
who use their liberty in this respect as sin-

IT BROKE AN ENGAGEMENT.
That Old Problem About a Picket Fence
Over a Hill.
Dun Cupid aallded out once upon a day
and aimed an arrow at a youth and a maid
whole I know. The aim was true, and
presently the maid was wettiring a solitaire
dh+mond on the third finger of her left
bond, star of promise of a plainer ring
which was to gleam there byaud by. Ev-
erything went well till one day the youth
received a letter from a third cousin of his
out 1n Denver, a simple, innocent letter.
with a postscript.
"P. S.," it read. "Will it take more
pickets to build a fence over hill or right
straight through the hill, the pickets in
both oases to be the same distance apart
and to be Set perpendicular to a horizontal
line drawn through the base of the hill?"
Of course the youth rQud the letter to
the maid, and she said right off:
"Why; what'an'awfully silly question l
Of course It would take more to go over
the hill."
And the youth said:
"No, it would take preclaely the same
number."
Then she loll back on Euclid and the
two sides of a triangle, with certain cal-
culations, to whlch reference was made to
"Pi R square," and he pinned his faith to
a simple diagram with the banisters of the
front stairs and in the ball as an object
lesson to clinch his argument. They
couldn't agree, and they parted in cold-
noss, meeting later only to part to anger.
He says she is obstinate, and she, I regret
to say, calls hila pigheaded. The soll-
tairo Is gone and happiness with it, and
after all that she thinks it will take more
pickets to build the fence over the bill,
and he is sure it won't. What do you
tbink?—Washington Post.
STARVING CHILDREN.
Thousands of well fed children are starv-
ing, simply because their food is not of the
right kind. They are thin, pale and deli
nate. Scot Ce Emulsion will change all this.

Wlfo (who has the foreign language
"spasm")—,John, do you know I'll, get.
ting on splendidly with my French? I urn
really beginning to think in the languago.

that so? Lot me hear you think a little

Obtained a Place.
Bifkins—That young Do Higgins Is the
most worthless scamp I over saw. Why
doesn't he get hold of some money and get
into something or other?
Snifkins-He did. He got hold of $400
of his employer's money and got into the
penitentiary for threo years.—Vire.
