Henry Wetmiller, of Berlin, one of
the old settlers of Somerset county,
visited friends in this community on
Wednesday of last week.
Judge of the whole earth do right?
No excuse because of the failure of
others will avail, no subterfuge be ac-
ceptable, “strict justice” will condemn.
Man-made laws and ordinances as to
what we eat or what days we may ob-
serve will then be revealed in the
white light of the God whose name is
love. In the light of such a prospect
how pertinent therefore that we turn
(v. 13), from judging others and look
well to our own conduct, lest that con-
duct become a rock of stumbling to
other and weaker brethren.

All of this leads up to the true prin-
ciple of total abstinence as revealed
in verse 21, “It is good not to eat
flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do
anything whereby thy brother stum-
bleth or is offended.” Thie does not
alone apply to the Great American
Juggernaut, the commercialized liquor
traffic, which, according to the United
States Supreme court, has no legal
ground upon which to stand. When
the members of the church of God
in this “land of liberty” shall each
be governed by this principle it will
not be long before the liquor problem
any many other questions thats are
troubling us will be settled. The real
question will not be “Is it wrong?”
but rather, “How will it affect my
brother?” All meats are clean, we
know that, Acts 10:15, but we also
know that many cannot eat, cannot
participate in our acts, with a clear
conscience because in so~taking part
there comes before the mind of the
weaker brother the evil associations
and practices which so frequently ac-
company such acts or such eating.

cent and entirely harmless it may be
to us, is therefore notitec be thought

effects of this awful traffic, but try to
show that intemperance is largely the
result of selfishness. Show how less
