CH -9 - . j n if: pPEUGE SUNDAY TODAY (Total Abstinance Only Rem edy of Alcohol Evil, Says N. K. Tuny A synopsis of "The Daring of Daniel," germ on based upon Dan iel 1 : 1-8 to be preached this morn ing by the Rev. Norman "K. Tully of the First Presbyterian church. follows: November 4 this year. Is Annual Temperance SunCay among the Churches, set apart to emphasize the evils of strong drink, and to educate the people In moral wel fare." By the burden of scriptural 1 eicning, me experience or our race, and tbe Implications of their ordination vows ministers are re Quired to tell all people every where that alcohol as a beverage in my quantity Is always and in herently evil. The world's most famous tee totaler waa Daniel. He was an Bp standing young man, well favored physically, highly developed men tally, of proud moral purpose, and of such social graces that he could "stand in the palace." With a group of his companions he was eb"Jgn to train three years for the clvlL service ofancient Babylonia. He was required to learn the lan guage of the governing class and to partake of the King's living. Would Eat Lightly But he decided not to "defile himself with the king's meat orj the wine that he did drink." but inked for a simple vegetable diet j and water to drink. The officer in ! It ii ?V . k , , """appointed pastor of Castle chapel n. U pointed out that Daniel was ..f -i u v asking him to disobey orders, Daniel proposed a day's test be tween rich food and simple food, between water and wine. Danirl and his three companions lived on their vegetable diet and drank water. At the end of the peiiod a check " was made. Physically Daniel's little group was found "fatter and fairer in flesh" than the others, and "in wisdom and understanding" ten times more advanced. This is the most famous time When water was pitted against wine, and water won. In every contest since, water has won. It is the dally need of every liv ing thing. "It ascends from the earth in obedience to the sum mons of the sun. and descends in showers of blessings. It gives forth of its sparkling beauty to the fragrant flower; itr "-alchemy transmutes base clay into golden grain: it Is the radiant canvas nron which the finger of the In finite traces the rainbow of prom ise; it i the beverage that re. freshes and brings no sorrow with It.. Jehovah looked upon it flt creation's dawn and said. "It is g.wid." Case Against Alcohol The case ar-afust alcohol in any degree as a dr'ng rests uoon the fpt that it I a noison which saps the energy of the mind, over throws the moral nature, and weakens the body in the trngle with disease. It Is expensive, tak ing for throat-diese - the food en. I clothing needed for wives and children. It is dangerous, be cause the ranks of the drunkards are rilled from the ranks or the moderate drinkers. They cannot " enrae from any other source. There Is no such thing as "light Wines and beer. "Wine often car ries an alcoholic content as high as 15 per rent. Perhaps in the course of history more drunken ness hs bHn caused by wine than bv the so-called '"hard lio.uors." It was wine that made Vh drunk until his sons cover ed his shame with a blanket. Beer, too, produces stupor. It used to run about four per cent alcohol. More men got drank on .beer than on whiskey. The only Sensible thing tb do is not to drink wine or beer at" all. Their manu facture and sale cannot be con. trolled, because you cannot reg ulate a rattlesnake. To license some people to sell wine and beer, and then fine other people for their "abuse. or drunkenness, would be like permitting some men" to spread tbe Itch through , tbe school population and then fining the children for scratching. Abstinence Is Remedy The only remedy Is total ab stinence by all people. Those wh- do not know the. essentially evil nature of alcohol as a drink need Instruction and persuasion. The professing Christianas obligation to abstain absolutely are clear. ' First, having pledged bis all to Goi, and acknowledging that be - Is not his own but has been "bought with a pries." he cannot afford to indulge in any, practice which may reduce his service tr God. Since drinking alcohol re duces efficiency in service to God the Christian must not Indulge ir it. V Second. th Christian's duty al . ways is to see that his example works on the right side of every question. It is by the power of ex ample that Christianity spreads. E"ea if he thought that he could take a drink without Injury, which would be a delusion, he ought not to do it because some weak, or brother might be led thereby to disaster. Third, the Christian is bound to make the best possible use of his money. It Is not his own to do with as he likes. He Is responsible to God for Its use. Finally, every Christian should be ready always to strengthen a Woaker brother bv signing with : him some such pledge as this.
