Woes of letemniperaeceo PROV. XXlH:29-35. BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. INTP.ODUCTION-Tho sacred writ era surpass even Shakeapearo In their nbllUy to describe tho experiences and conduct of mun, and their representa tions are universally recognized ns cor rect. Solomon, who wrote mont of tho Proverbs, flourished three thousand years ago. Ills observations wero lim ited to people whoso customa, manners, speech nnd religion were wholly unlike any now prevailing In our country. And yet he gave muxlms that are per fectly adapted to the every-day llfo with which we nru familiar, ns much so as If they were composed but yes terday. The truthfulness of this state ment will appear to all us wo study tne lesson of the day. The evils of strong drink uro here portrayed with a faithfulness that will astonish us, showing how thla vice lias porpetu nted Itself through the centuries. QUESTIONS (verse 20) In a concise, abrupt and energetic manner the lea son opens with a series of live ques tions, one of them being repeated for the sake of cmphusls. These questions call attention to the deplorable condi tions, which, must have been common. The first pertains to n dlsordeied In ward stat.- that produces misery; the second, to disturbed social relations re sulting In conflict: the third, to Ir regular Incoherent speech, when the tongue Is not governed by tho 1udg- inent: the fourth, to physical Injuries Indicted by others In unr.oueso.iry strife or caused by Occident; the fifth, to the Injury of the organs of sight. Where are all these Ills some Inward, soni? outward, somo spliltunl, some physi cal, some personal, some social? To whom are they attached? The ques tion is designed to startle the reader and awaken leflectlon. ANSWER (verse 30) The inspired writer himself replies to the questions, afllrmlng that they suffer thus who arc addicted to thu excessive use of wine. The original word here used Is yayin, the generic Hebrew term, that Includes all classes of vine, fermented and tin fermented, and Is employed more than one hundred and forty tltr.es In Scrip ture, more than all other special terms together. This word is found in the earliest and latest hlstoiy (Gen., !x:21, Neb., xill-15), and It appears In the laws, the precepts and the prophetic wi Kings covering the three nges of Hebrew literature Hut If this verso does not distinguish the kind nt drink It does lay stress on th quantity. Hy long tarrying and over-Iinlulgence the evil habit is formed, and by lnlxln? drinks intoxication Is produced. Here in a description of those licentious l T sons wlio go about our cities, from paloon to saloon with Jovial friends, and drink repeatedly until overcome. ADVICE (Verse 31). In the last verse the wise man exposed the folly of the drinking habit, showing what comes of excess. Had be said no uior some might be encouraged to the nioif erate use of strong drink, which Is the fruitful source of Intemperance. .

When the wlno (ynyln) Is red, tho color being observed as It Is poured Into the cup, fermenta tion has begun, which will bo evi denced by the rise and escape of bub bles, a movement In the liquid by which tho elements are converted into new compounds. One of these Is alco hol, which is never found in nature. The chemical process was not under stood when the text was written, but the description Is very nccurate. When all this has taken place, a poison has come Into the drink, and It Is to bo absolutely discarded. No one should even look upon It at such a time. This advice enjoins total abstinence from Intoxicants. EFFECT (Verso 32). Why reject fermented wine altogether? Why may not Its moderate use be allowed? Why not pause with a condemnation of ex cess? Does not temperance mean moderation? These are old questions heard on every hand. Let Solomon answer In four distinct statements. First, because alcoholic beverages bring pain and discomfort to the body. That docs not come at once. For a tliie there Is a pleasurable sensation, an exhilaration of spirit, and one fan cies himself stronger, so that he seek further draughts. Hut "at last," when he has come under the dominion of li quor, It bites and stings. The stomach and other vital organs, the brain and the whole nervous system, Indeed, the entile man. Is affected as If venomous serpent had thrust Its fangs Into him. it was this inlluence that gave the name alcohol, for the Arabian chemlFt who discovered It observed that when applied to the skin it excoriates and deadens. RESULT (Verse 33). To secure bod ily health and comfort one must ic ject alcoholic beverages. This teach ing of the wise man Is approved by science and expeilence. Hut the physi cal and the spiritual nature of man are so Intimately related that any In jury to the former soon involves the latter. The disordered brain produces a deranged heart, whose affections go out after unholy things. Here la noted what has been one of the saddest re sults of Intemperance, a life of licen tiousness. "Thine eyes shall behold strange women." This explains the conduct of Lot's daughter (Gen. xl.x: :'i 35), and gives the reason for So'o mon's counsel In another place (Prow xxxl: 3-1). Lust and wine have gone together In all limes and countries (Dan. v:2). From the days of Hippo crates, an eminent Greek physician, down to our day, this fact has been expressed In an aphorism which no one now questions. TROU'RLE (Verse 31). When ' body nnd soul are thus affected no one could reasonably expect any substantial peace or any enduring happiness. X'n lest ifnd misfortune are the portion of thu victim to strong drink.

Y, esEirjp 9? indeed, for n time seek reposo In the midst of fancied security, only to bo overtaken nnd overwhelmed by calam ities which he could neither have fore seen nor nvertcd. Withal, ho appears to lose Judgment of what is prudent and best, so that by his own foolish conduct ho involves himself in trouble. Our author expresses these points very forcibly. Tho man la so Indiscreet thnt ho is like ono who "lies down in tho midst of the sea," seeking rest in the tcry placed where his life is In peril. He Is like one that lies "down to Bleep In the top of a mast," from which ho may ho suddenly tossed Into the deep. Who has not seen all this Illustrated many times In the lives of' drunkards? Nothing could be more pitiful than the course of men who arc acknowledged to be their "own worst enemy." COMPLAINT (Verso 35). Ono other characteilstlc of the drunken man.more peculiar and in many respect3 mor serious thnn those already mentioned, completes the account In the passage before us. Having recovered somewhat from the effects of tho last debauch, he is determined to "seek It again." No loss, pain, sickness, poverty, Ill-treatment, Imminent dangers, or merciful deliverances can prevail with him so much as, slrtcerely and constantly, to desire to break his chain. So Inveter ate are his habits and so great his In fatuation that ho considers tho suffer ing through 'h-hlch he passed as a per sonal and unusual aflllctton, of which ho complains, as If some one other than himself, or some circumstance for which he was not responsible, hnd brought It upon him. Hi seldom .as cribes his miseries to drink. On the contrary, he esteems the cup to be his own true friend, to which he turns with hope of finding needed comfort. It has occurred that those who stand between the Inebrlnto and his drink are considered to be enemies. SUMMARY. Alcoholic liquor as a beverage la condemned by Scripture for reasons that must appeal to the good sense of every rational person. It is far worse than tho fabled cup of Circe, which transformed men Into brutes. It inflames the passions and prepares for every hateful crime. It ruins a man's constitution and character and tends to beggar his family. It Incites the basest lusts, and causes many to fall Into that deep ditch from which few escnpe with their lives, making them an ensy prey for bad women. It lets loose tho tongue to utter Impious, polluting and disgust ing speech. It leads a man Into un numbered dangers, yet fascinates him Into such love for his cruel oppressor that he sleeps only to recruit himself nnd awakes to return to Its destruct ive Indulgence. Who that has common ense would contract such a habit, or sell himself to an Iniquity which tends to such accumulated guilt ami misery? Henceforth let no man doubt the teach ing of God's word on this momentous subject. a. m. and 7:30 p. m.; Keyslono League Christian Endeavor, C:.n0 p. in.: Junior Christian Endeavor, Monday, 7 p. m.; Prayer meeting, Wednesday, 7:30 p. m.
