A certain fearful looking forward: to the time of judgment tehda to dampen the drinker’s enthusiasm. So he drinks more to reawaken in: his heart the “ hope” that tomorrow will not bring reckoning, but'wfil be another “ good” day. The world has no real hope, in fact, the word itself has lost its true meaning and: indicates only a aert of withfol thinking. Is there any real hopaf Oh, yes, and the Christian has X, hope that is a confident expecta­ tion of the fulfillment of God's every promise. That kind of hope takes care o f tomorrow-end all the to* morrows, „ - VIII. To Encourage Play (I Cor, 10:6, f ), Paul warns against the folly of the “ eat, drink, and be merry” phi­ losophy.
