Hon, George Little returned from Florida last Friday after spending several months in the South. Mr. Little has been watching closely the action of congress in ^Washington relative to the war measure and not being convinced the proper course was, being followed protested to Congressman Fees and Senator Hard' ing in strong terms the newspaper censorship bill which would enable government officials to withhold ia-r formation from, the public. Mr, Lit­ tle thought this was a step back­ ward as the people had a perfect right to know what was going on. Another matter tha t did not meet With his views was the attempt at that time to keep Col, Rapsevelt from going to France with an army of 180,000 volunteers while congress was drafting a war, measure to force conscription on the yonth of the land whether they wanted to go or not. Within the past few days congress Iras* provided a way for Cdl, Roose­ velt and his volunteers but President Wilson must give his approval.

First, social, that as illustrated "by Its use a t the mar­ riage in Cano. We must nqt, however, confuse this wine with the spirituous, strong drink of this present day. Sec­ ond, medicinal (Prov. 31:6-7; I Tim. 5:23), These passages .do no t com­ mand us t o use it as such, and'God has very graciously revealed to us In modern, medical research the futil­ ity of the use of alcohol in the matter of medicine as a remedy. Third, sacri­ ficial wine (Matt. 20:27-29j Luke 22 ;17-! 20), and, fourth wine is spoken abou t" as productive of the woes of men (See Amos 6:1; Heb. 2:15; Prov. 23:20). I t Is also mentioned by way of contrast (See Eph/5;18). The Scriptures speak of drunkards in four different,ways: (1) They are tp be stoned (Dent. 31:20); (2) Drunk­ ards lead to poverty (Prov, 23 : 21 ) ; (3) Drunkards arc -to b e "separated from other men <1 Cor, 5:11); (4) they are to be finally separated from God ( I Cor. 6:9). Abstinence from strong drink Is en­ joined In the Scriptures under three heads: .(1) the priest and Nazarite (Num., 6 :3 ; Luke 1:15); (2) the ruler (Prov, 61:4); (8) those who are to worship Jehovah (Lev* 1<J:3); T:This particular lesson J» taken from a portion-of Isaiah's prophecy, where he is anticipating what is about to hap­ pen to Samaria, and utterlng.hls warn­ ings unto Judah, . 1. The Steps of Intemperance. First, Disgrace and Dishonor (v, 1), Tho city of' Sanjaria id compared to a chaplet of flowers on a* drunkard's brow, which -shall be trodden under foot because of his inebriety. Drunk­ enness-seemed te'have.beeifc,so wide-1 spread as to bltcpaie a national sin. Second, Dl»ea«wbct Degeneracy (V. 2), The pride of bep^y spoken of In verso one is to ‘fal) tb the earth.” This glorious beanWAias after all only a “fading A JP e t 1:24).. The coming-of riioAfeayrmns upon Samaria Ur described in a three-fold way; '(!> As a “tempest o f hall’’;. (2) as a “do* Stroking storing (8) a s a “tempest of -mighty wttfefk overflowing.” The thought contained is that of wide­ spread and overwhelming destruction. Back of tills work of devastation and destruction -and desolation was the wrath of God against sin (Ch. 2:4-9). AU earthly pride shall he'trodden un­ der foot. Samaria, “a fading flower,” was to be greedily eaten "dj-Tby the on- comlbg enemy.' . If. Those Reached by intemperance. Strong drink causes’men to err in tlieir conduct, In their moral InsIghtVIn their Judgments, I t reaches the beautiful (v. 1 ) it reaches the learned (v. 7); it reaches those in authority; In fact all classes. I t leads men to the depths of degradation apd to the ioss of their wills (v, 8 ); It makes men to become beasts, wallowing In their own vomit. Not only Samaria, but “these also” (w . 7 and 8), that is people of Jeru­ salem have erred through wine and strong drink. Even the priests and the prophetsjmd and do so now (See Ch. 66:10-12; Mlcah 2:11). The priests were especially inexcusable because of the plain directness of God's word (Lev, 10:9*10; Ezekiel 44:21). The result of their intemperance, ,was that they utterly failed In their ‘ official acts. They reeled in vision and stum­ bled In judgment. The .Use of wine and strong drink made their social gatherings filthy and disgusting. Tem- perahee Is the habit of abstaining from everything that destroys. It Is the con­ trol and right use of God’s good gifts for service. Intemperance IS lack of control or the wrong use of God's gifts In self-indulgence. ill. The Lcwcn In Contrast. Jeru­ salem vs, Samaria. Samaria's crown of pride was not the glory of God, Its beauty was a fading flower (v* 4), his Wisdom contemned through the Ignorance Of Samaria (w . 6/ 7, 12). his strength versus their weakness and wickedness (vv. 0, 13). God teaches by contrast as well as by direct precept. Verses nine and ten may be taken as a mocking answer1of the pen plo to God's prophet. IsAtgb intimates that tho time to begin our Instruction Is In childhood (v. 9),. that precept must be Upon precept, and line upon line, here a little and there a little. There never is a time when we can let up in this struggle against the mighty evil of Intemperance, Take as a reply (v, 9) this would seem to indicate that God took them to be babies Just weaned. If the prophet himself, is the speaker, then Jehovah is represented as teaching knowledge to babes and not to tho self-sufficient. It is these whom he “makes to under­ stand his message” (It. V. )( and the method OfW» teaching is precept upon precept* If we will not hear God's loving and patient call to repentance, he will Speak to us through cruet ene mles. If We will not teach our chil­ dren, if we will not keep everlastingly agitating this.question, he will use oth­ er means (v, 11), Always beats Slgrmtws of I t you miss your train when away and want an auto livery, keep in jmind that R, A," Murdock has a num­ ber of machines toady for instant ser­ vice.
