I have'no. dispute 1 with jMn Chambers , whether temperance'bo a'good thing, nor whether, in the duy in which wolive, total abstinence may not be an eligible piethod of advanc ing the.practice' of temperance. . Th 6 points discuss* l ed uro lHcso two : first, whether, tolal.abslinoncc can bo maintained on the ground that the use of intoxi cating drinks as a beverage is condemned by the ward of God; and second, whether the Order of the Sons of Temperance is'an association, such as a Christian can consistently support. \ I maintain the negative oh’both these issues! Mr. C. is loud for the affirmative. He tells us that in his former address he assumed os the basis of his'remarks,.that into'*!, eating ]lquor,'uscd ns a beverage, is a poison “,and » curse.” Precisely Mr, Chambers assumed —ho did nut prnvQ t _ if his infirmity id mistake assumption fpr argumem* Ho dbcldrcs.that.ho Investigated the claims df.thc dilTcrcnt temperance organizations, and foimd the. Order of the Sons the best of aIT. . .Unforlu* njjt'd? .however! Mr. C. docs not tell tis the stops of Bils.■ investigation! Flo merely ’ gives us his word,* fcjkJ those who are in the Habit of .looking lo God’s word, arc not satisfied; they ask Mr.C. why do you think so 7 And these doubts which his first speech did not touch, arc just as perplexing as ever ih spile of the three hours talking and reading, which Mr. Chambers came all the way from Philadelphia lo inflict upon ue. 1 . . ' In reply, to these assumptions I brought forward, In my published discourse, ten passages from, the ’ Dibio to demonstrate that the moderate Use of wfnd is not,condc'mpcci, but allowed;' besides lIRco reasons why I could not join t|ie Order of, the Spiis. Instpad of taking these texts separately and showing, that my explanation of each was false, Mr. C. brings forward 17 places which ho asserts, aa usual, condemn the use of wine. I might go through the whole of his list, and show quo by one hoW absurdly they are per,verted,! But ns Mr. C. lids not said one wbrd lo prove theapplicabilily ofdneofllicm,I l am not bound lb say anything lo disprove'lt; My word is,as gqod as his,.and when ho .merely asserts, I orn entitled ainfply lb .‘deny. ‘ Not however, to insist 100 rigidly on this,TwillUkd the very first passngo.as a sample of nil the rest, and show how basily'it may l}d turned against him. Lcv.’x. 8,9. “Do not drlnjc wine nor strong’drink; -ihou nor thy eonq with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation.” Mr. C. quotes this lo prove that wine used aV a beverage is u poison and a curse, and regards It ns an absolute prohibition to tile priests ot all limes. Still, though it were so*, wo' might demur and say that t|io prohi bition lo the priest inplied the permission to the peo ple,and os we. arc not Jewish priests, the passage proves noting In T possession of the brain or. inebriates! Hoaco, iv. 11, of itself shows undeniably'that any such distinction In favor ofTirosh lfl absurd. “Whoredom wtno (yayin) ond new wine (Tirosh) take away the heart. 1 ’- - Mr. C. is very euro that Pharaoh dfank fresh juice, not only because I>r, Nott says so, but because it is a standard topic,with moat temperance lecturers.— It is however a ineio asscrtion-r-a’mistaking of a dream for an argument; . It would just be as logical to infer that the lean klrio of Egypt were’ wont to devour their plump neighbors,Tor certainly was dteanibcl as well as the other. Though this is | enough for Pharaoh; still nriild such profusion ofhr fument ap my causeTurplshes, 1 ctih afford lobe Iberal—even to lavishness. I.therefore add thot.wo hayc cycry reason that the case admits'of, to believe that urifcrmcnled grape juice was not the beverage of the courtof Egypt., I toko it for granted, that if the prime ministcr.gnye his guests! intoxicating drink, and .of.febHrieidrlnk li htmsolftthni thq sovereign did not content himself with grape juice. Now how do wo know'thdt Joseph used intoxicating liquor? Be cause' we read in the end of the 43d chapter that his brethren drank and were merry with him. Mr. C. indeed told us that they might drink and ba merry ion coffco or milk;, and no doubt a more engllsh roo | der might think the remark very plausible. Unfor- I innately hoWcvcr’fbr Mr. C. and for those who trust I in him, the word rendered to bo merry is ricyer once used fqr drlnking'ariy thing but wine or strong drink, I —it being the. very.root from which the Word for strong.drink is derived. I chal'cngo contradiction. The distinction between Bible wines, then, turns out lo be a mere delusion. The different ways in which it was employed. It might cither bo Used or abused, and consequently,’prove cither a blessing or 1 a curse. The Bible does riot pronounce a woo on those that drink wine, (Is. v. 2) but on those are mighty to drink it. If wine is called a mocker (Prov. xx .1) it is in reference to theunwico ones who arc deceived by it. If the wise man holdup for warning those who have, red eyes'and causeless wounds, it is not those who have used wine moderately, but such as have ferried long at it* If kings wore not to drink wine nor princess strong drink, it wasoxccss* ive drinking" that was meant; for it is immediately added, (Prov.xxxi,s) “Lest they drink ond forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the af* fliolcd’’—such drinking ns slupificd the understand ing and seared the conscience. •*; • • . Still it may.be thought Mr. C. has some ground to stand on in the Jewish passover,' He said a grg£l deal about this, but, ns usual, nothing to the purpose. He mainlained'that the Jews always use what Dr. Noll calls unfermcnlcd wine at the passover. He referred for proof to’M. Mi - Noah of N» Y. -Now, 1 might lake Noah's testimony and show that ho doss nnl understand his otfn statement; but,Tor brevity’s sake I will , bring (If 6 matter to a quick issue. The ! Rev; Kli Smith, in a letter to Dr. McLean, (Del. Enq. No. 1, P.‘3o) states that the chief Rabbi at He bron treated him with formeiited wine during the feast of unlcnven bread. ■“ 1 knew,” -says Mr; 8. “’ll wos fermented, not merely from its taste,but because I had a discussion with him pn ths inconsistency of having U in his house' at a lime when ho had pro fessedly banished every Jhing Ihat iyos leavened.*’— Of courap th,o inconsistency was' in the Imperfect knowledge which Mr*-S, had taken with hioi.from fspac Looser, the Rabbi of Philadelphia, m nleltcr to Mr. Dplavan (Enq. No. I,‘ page 99,) says t “ I re gret I cannot arisWeryour query os the tenor thereof indicates,for wo use intoxicating and uninloxipaling wines without, discrimination, in • the celebration of ( our passover. 1 * , And he adds towards Oio close, “the 1 Scriptures inveigh against drunkenness,' or excessive) drinking; and do not prohibit.the partaking of wine I though its abuse might lead to deplorable consot ; qucnccs.” •. , , - Tho Rcv/Mr. ScliaufHor, for manyyoais missions ry -fo.tho; Jews of.
