Weekly Sunday School Lesson

Intoxicants

; Deut. 32:31-33; Prov. 23:29-32

By W. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for April 18

HEN we study lessons in Genesis, in the light of modern ideas and controversies, one of the questions that confronts us.frequently concerns man’s essential nature. Is he at heart naturally evil and “fallen,” or is he naturally good, progressing through ignorance and error toward something higher and better, subject to temptation, but not. inherently wicked?

course of human life would suggest that there is truth on koth sides, that man is naturally neither wholly good nor wholly evil, but with capacities for both good and evil, and subject to the direction in which the uppermost influences may guide him. If one doubted man’s tendency toward sin and evil, surely he would find the evidences of it in the role that alcohol and similar destructive agencies have played in human life. The history of man’s degradation through alluring things that have affected his senses and destroyed his self-control is not confined to any particular period of time, people or place. A study of modern primitive communities reveals that native races have found their own forms of intoxication, and the use of intoxicating beverages seems to go back to the very childhood of such races. ” u ”

ox temperance lesson is based J upon a reference to Sodom and its destruction, and to a further reflerence to Sodom found in Deuteron-

Calm observation of the whole

omy, with the whole teaching summed up in the single verse from Proverbs, “At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.” The name of Sodom and the men of Sodom are associated in Biblical history with evil practices that go far beyond indulgence in intoxicating liquor; and it would be an unjust imputation against those who are not. total abstainers te suggest that the use of intoxicating liquors is inherently or inevitably associated with the sins of Sodom. But it is an incontrovertible fact that in the wide range of sin and evil, liquor has been a common or associated factor. Its tendency is to destroy restraint and self-control, to blunt the moral consciousness, and to weaken the will.

z » 2

TT liquor habit and the liquor traffic have in them the seeds of destruction. The fact that some are strong enough to prevent this destruction in themselves, in their home lives, and in their family circles and immediate invironment, does not alter the fact of the general tendency, and the results in individual lives and communities that have come from the use of intoxicants. } The writer of the ancient proverb was right. and no proverb has been more fully confirmed during the generations of human life since his day, than that strong drink is raging, and that, at the last, it biteth like a serpent. : There is one thing that ought to be recognized today; that the way of abstinence never weakened the will or lessened the effectiveness of any human life, If is at least a safe and wise way. \
