Temperance Sunday brings a
greatly needed opportunity to con­
sider the entire question of intoxi­
cating liquors. When the prohibi­
tion amendment was under fire the
proponents of repeal contended that
it would reduce taxes, cut down un­
employment, eliminate bootleg liq­
uor, return men and women to tem­
perate and decent habits. It is
worthwhile noting that not a single
one of these expected benefits has
materialized.
Taxes on liquor have not reduced
general taxes. After all, what de­
cent American would want his taxes
cut with “blood-money”?' Bootleg­
ging thrives more flagrantly than
ever. Evasion of liquor taxes in­
dicates that about half of America’s
liquor is “bootleg.” The specter of
unemployment still stalks the land.
And are our people temperate? One
could laugh if it were not so tragic!
The consumption of liquor is fast
becoming a national disgrace. And
the tragedy is that Christians have
for the most part supinely said
“What can I do?” and have done
nothing.
The repeal of prohibition was
brought about by the indifference
of American voters. The issue was
finally settled by the votes of less
than 23 per cent of the registered
voters. Where were the other 77
per cent ? Where are they now?
But our lesson goes deeper than
the matter of intoxicating liquor.
It deals with two contrasted modes
of living. What a man is deter­
mines what he does. If he lives
for the flesh he will pander to its
tastes. If he lives in the Spirit he
will not only be right in his atti­
tude toward liquor but toward every
phase of life, yes, even toward eat­
ing.
Let us consider these two ways of
life—and weigh carefully our own
life: decision. In which way do I
walk? Remember that one may live
to the flesh even though he is not
a winebibber. It is a matter of
heart interest and relationship to
God.
I. Living in the Flesh.
The word flesh in Scripture does
not refer to our physical flesh and
blood, except as it is dominated by
self-will. But when self-will rules
the body, and God’s will is ruled
out, a man lives in the flesh.
Our lesson gives a terrifying pic­
ture of such a life. It makes a man
a senseless lover of pleasure for
pleasure’s sake (Prov. 21:17). He
is a lover of wine, a glutton (Prov.
23:20, 21), careless (Matt. 24:48),
disorderly and unfaithful (v. 49),
and a professed follower of Christ
because of what it brings him
(John 6:26). His end even in this
world is disgrace and poverty, and
in the world to come, eternal judg­
ment (Matt. 24:51).
II. Living in the Spirit.
“They that are Christ’s have cru­
cified the flesh with the affections
and lusts’’ (Gal. 5:24). They are
therefore admonished to “walk in
the Spirit,” that is, to submit their
lives to the control and guidance
of the Spirit of God. In other words
seek God’s will, not self-will.
What kind of men and women are
those who live in “the spirit”? A
re-reading of our lesson texts re­
veals them as, wise, faithful, dili­
gent, temperate, not following the
Lord because of any gain to them­
selves.
What is their reward? In this
life they are entrusted with more
work for their Master (Matt. 24:47).
The reward for Christian work well
done is more work. So if you are
lazy, don’t begin. But if the fires of
holy ambition to serve him burn
within your soul, go on, and he
will lead you further on until at last
in the world to come you will have
the all-sufficient reward of his “Well
done, good and faithful servant.”
Brave Men
All brave men love; for he only is
brave who has affections to fight for,
whether in the daily battle of life
or in physical contests.—Hawthorne.
Truth in Little Things
I have seldom known any one who
deserted truth in trifles, that could
be trusted in matters of importance.
—Paley.

At sea the engine room is the
hot spot of the ship, much hot­
ter than the fire rooms in these
days of fuel-oil furnaces and
forced draft. Away from the
small “islands” of cool air com­
ing down the ventilators, ther­
mometers in the moist atmos­
phere usually read around 100 de­
grees. Every minute the big ship
is at sea an engineer stands close
by the throttle of each engine. No
one below knows when an order
is coming down from the bridge
or whether the next order will be
an emergency command. As a
result, every order is treated as
an emergency and executed with
split-second speed.—Popular Me­
chanics.
