The new legislation is so word- ed that It can apply in either Issue. If the vote is for Prohibition. only the first half of the Act will be proclaimed; if it is for Govern- ment control. the entire act will be proclaimed.

Though the Island's present sys- tem is called "Hohibiiion." it is not difficult to make s. weekly purchase of liquor legally. An amendment passed three years ago set up the prescription system. ‘a; which doctors can issue prescrip- tions for liquor sales.

might be asked regarding the United Church Conference reso- lution published a. few days ago. The writer is a Baptist member and supporter and is voting for the New Temperance Act. as are thousands of other good church people of all denominations. Even though the delegates at these Batherlngs agreed with the reso-

Sirfl-The Guardian of the 24th inst has thereina letter against Prohibition in which the statement is made “All through the Bible you find Wine ls blessed for the use of man" and the writer goes on to warn to be careful and not add anything to the Word of God for any reason. but It is equally true that no one should take away from the word of God or. what is perhaps more deceptive. state only half the truth with respect to it. How can the writer ‘Iheophilus re- concile his statement with that of Solomon who as the wisest of men received his wisdom from God and states "Wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging and whoso- ever is deceived thereby is not wise". Surely the Bible does not bless a rnocker for the use of man.

The ‘writer says nothing about strong drink nor does he mention anything about the two kinds of wine. one, the pure juice of the grape a symbol of joy and glad- ness, the other. a symbol of sorrow sadness and destruction. so that his half truth coming from one who makes it appear as if he had gone through the whole Bible is very deceptive to a conscientious voter. As a matter of fact that writer could have found the truth with respect to the bwo kinds of wine in a single book of the Bible. that of Deuteronomy where is found an excellent summary of the Law of Moses. There it is stat-d that .when Israel obeyed God's righteous laws and prospered they drank the pure juice of the grape (see Deuteronomy Cap. 32 verses 13-14: but. when tliev forsook God and lightly esteemed Him tbs‘.- wlhe is stated (as expressed in the marginal note) to be worse than the ‘wine of Sodom and the 31rd verse states “Their wine is the poison of dragons and the crucl venom of asps.

the wisest of men who received his wisdom from God, says wtih respect to this latter kind of wine as recorded in Proverbs Cap. 23 Verses 31-32 “Look not thou upon wine when it is red. when it giveth its colour in the cup when it moveth itself arlght: At the last it biteth like n serpent and sting- eth like an adder." Surely the Bible does not bless what biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. 4

This latter kind of wine is again referred to in Proverbs 31 Verses 4-5 where it is stated: "It is not for kings to drink wine. nor for princes strong drink lest they drink and forget the law". Further on ‘rie says "Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish."

See further the song of Moses in Deut: 32 from Verse 35 to the end of the song and let electors and all others beware lest similar calam- ities shall befall us in our day. While the people of Israel we're in the Wilderness for 40 years they drank no wine nor strong drink: as stated in Deuteronomy 20:6 “That ye might know that I cm the Lord your God"; and in addition to the covenant at Horeb another con- venant was made, on emerging from the wilderness. for their fut- ure guidance, and this law of Moses is the law of God to-day as shown In Christ's answer to the Rich Mari as recorded by Luke‘ In Ms writing to a "Most Excellent Tllieophilus" (Luke Cap 16:31) where He answered “They have Moses and the ProphetsE-"If they hear not. Moses and, the prophets. neither ‘will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead."

Voters to-day may help to save the situation and avoid the pos- sibie calamities of the use of strong drink and the lntoxicatinr wines forbidden by the Law oi Moses and other writings as rr- corded in the Bible. but allowed and sanctioned by the New Act.
