I Comments J&l on s.s.'.area ■ _ LessonAgSßl Creamed comments cm the Sunday school lesson, War Against Beverage Alcohol, Isaiah 5:11-14; Matthew 3:6; Romans 13:11-16, fpr Sunday, October 25. \ :In this temperance lesson wa have an array of Bible texts. The liquor problem is old; it ie lath® warfare of Christians. God is against this evil and he will not be defeated; it may take centuries,\ but vro may he confident of victory. Moral progress has Its period of retrogression and we are in that period now. A forward movement will oome when the majority awaken Io ita evil results as seen in the anhunl millions of casualties, in crime, in the destruction o< the home, in the danining of the youth. V.ll. “Woe unto U»em that rise up early in the morning that they may follow strong drink, tha continue till the night; till wine inflame them! and the harp and the vjol, the tablet and the pipe are iri their feats; but regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.” The emphasis is on “woe.” The appetite of a drinking man drives him down into the realm of the beast—he has lost self control and throws off moral appeals by more indulgence; he adds demoralising music to his revelry. So has it been for centuries. V.l3.“Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because thqy have no knowledge; and their honorable men are famished,- and their multitude dried up with thirst.” Hisory teems with examples of nations and once great men who have fallen because of the pse of alcoholic liquor. Israel was no exception. Captivity begins with 4h« first drinkV. 14. “Therefore hell hath enlarged herself and opened ’ her mouth without measure; and their glory and thedr multitude, and theirl pomp, and b® rejoiceth. shall descend Into it.” The unseen World'of the condemned awnft# th,e coming of the Indulgent In all sin; among them are the drunkards and those going the way w|th

hat class. Let it be said that tha I moderate drinker is the big problem today. V. 6. “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him th«t a miUslone were hapgad about Ms n«ck and that ha were . drowned in tha depth of the sea.” . Words of Christ dare not be treated lightly. Influencing the innocent, especially the children and the youth, to travel the ways of t sin brings a terrible judgment on ! such offenders. Think of the mode>r%ta drinker’s influence, of the parents whose example is harmful! One out of every sixteen that ’ tastes liquor develops into a drink, , ing man or woman. k v.ll “And that, knowing the , time, that now it te high time, to out of sleep; for now la our sahration nearer than when we beieved.’* “Sleep’ 1 i« the moral a»d spiritual state of the unsaved; men ought to awaken to righteousness. The scriptures constant readlnese to meet the dak of salvation at the coming of th® Lord. One’s future depends on his record made bn earth; all ought to awaken to the f-olly of spending a few years in revelry and drinking and then spend eternity in a lost condition. One chooses his future by choosing his way of life here. V«. 12,13. “The night is far spent, the day is at hand; let us therefore cast off the. works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.” Here is a strong admonition . seen in the word “let|” It is a matter of reason as to the will as well as voluntary action. It Is a matter of thinking straight and then going Straight. How this can be done fa stated in tha following two veraep. It is putting on the M»rd Jesus Christ; the power of the Lord' can overcome the power of drink If the Lord is received and enthroned in mind and heart. Not to do this brings self-condemnation for it is written, him tbatfcnowetb to do good, and doeth it pot. to Wm. it , —Based on copyrighted outlines TapoduCtd tHvlsioit bt(Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.
