All readers oi this c0ilIi'i1II will be very sorry to learn that Miss Mary Emma White who has, conducted the column so success-i fully for many years, is at thel present time a patient in the' Prince Edward -Island Hospitalf in a serious condition. I THE SCILIPTIIBES AND TOTAL: ABSTINENCE

i. (It is true that the Scrip- tures, as the Bishop of Adelaide claimed not lmrg ago, give "no support in Old , or New Testa- ment for a doctrine of total ab- stinencei") The absence in the New Testa- ment of the express condemna- tion of slavery. does not justify slavery but the Master I-limsslf said: (Luke 21 :34) "Take heed to yourselves in case your hearts get overpowered by dissipation and drunkenness and worldly anxieties." 2. (But do ihe Scriptures vocate total abstinence?) The Bible certainly total abstalners, for Daniel and the three Hebrew youths in Babylon; also Recha- bites who kept to the practice of -total abstlnenre for generations: the priests of the Tabernacle and temple were forbidden to use wine all the time they were on duty. Samson and John the Baptist as

ad-

honors example,

and over as disgrace and a sin. 3. (Why is the Bible teaching about wine not more clear and definite?)

The confusion is in part due to ignorance of the languages in which the Bible was originally written. For instance our English word wine is used to translate thirteen different Hebrew and Greek words in the old and New Testament. ,

5. (Did Christ use fermented wine when He instituted the Lord's

Supper?)

Never once in the four ac- counts of the first Communion service as instituted by Christ

and related by Matthew (26: 26- 29), Mark (it 22-26), Luke (22- 15-20) and Paul ilcorinthians iii 23-26) is the word wine used, but in the first three words the fruit of the vine', and in the fourth the words 'the cup'.

6. (How do the early Christian writers refer to the drink por- tion ol the service of the Lord's supper?)

Among the earliest is st. Cy- prian, A. D. 230, who says: "He calls wine squc-.-z:d out from bun- ches of grapes His blood; Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century says: This sacrament can be fullllled with .the juice of ripe grapesf

This drink in freshly extracted grape Juice is a common custom in Eastern lands. Also all leaven, which would include fermented wine was forbidden during Pass- over week. t 7. (Why did not Jesus leave some rule of conduct concern- lng wine for His disciples?) Christ left His disciples some- thing greater than just a code for personal iconduct. He laid down great principles of love and brotherhood for all time and all races, which are destined to over- throw every evil thing.

THE ENEMY

You may build vs many chur- ches, you may open as many Bree Libraries, you may use as many iron bars, and expend as much perspiration as you please, but as long as you allow the sale of strong drink to go unrestricted your sermons will be useless, and your churches will be useless, and you will be like a little child with an osier twig trying to keep the mighty Mississippi from liOiA- ing over the 'and.
