SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Qoldtn Text—"Wine it • meeker, strong drink Is raging.*—Proverbs 20:1.
By DR. GEORGE A. BEATTIE.
To fully nndrmtnnd Paul's Irttrr to the
Gnlntlntm. we must know something alnmt
the persons to whom It wss addressed, and
why it wits written.
The Uniat Inn* were the descendants of a
race which had migrated, or been driven,
from France to what was known as Phrygia
In Asia Minor.
In his second missionary tour Paul had
rlnltrri Galatia, was detained there by sick
ness, and gained many converts, whom h#
visited again In his third circuit, and who
became greatly attached to him. But they
were a fickle, volatile, mercurial people,
like the French today. Paul tells them: “At
first ye did run well. What did hinder jrsT*
But with Paul gone they were ready to
follow some one else.
There had been contentions and strifes
among them over their different views of
the gospel and Christian living.
Paul heard of their defection and divi
sions. and so he wrote this letter, accord'
lug to Light foot, about 58 A. I». from Cor
Intn, or, as Uamaay and MeGIffert think,
from Antioch. Just before the second mis
slonary Journey, A. !>. 52.
In It ho seeks to establish the true view
of the gunnel, as the gospel of liberty, of
freedom from human Institutions, ritualistic
observances, from legalism, from the Indub
genre of fleshly appetites nnd passions and
lusts.
„ it might he called the epistle of freedom.
No less than eleven times, and In this
connection more often than In all the other
epistles nut together, the thought occurs:
"Stand fast In the liberty wherein Christ
has made us free.'*
Some one has said: 'The epistle to thf
Galatians became to Luther a weapon for
tm* emancipation of mankind." .
it Is emancipation from everything that
enslaves body or soul. No better selection
could have been made for a lesson on tem
perance than this letter.

Of all the forms of slavery that over ex
isted that of Intemperance Is tho worst, ns
It enslaves both soul and l>ody; Its chains
are the most galling nnd the hard* 1 ** to
break. Jinny of Its slaves would not lie
fr**e If thev could, and many could not If
they would.
Th# Devil’s Chain.
The story Is told Af a man who once en
gaged a smith to make a chain of so many
links, ami when .It was completed
brought It to the man, who ordered so
many more links to he added, mid when
tho work wns done he was ordered to make
so many more links, and then the man
commanded that he should lx* hound with
It nnd cast Into prison. Intemperance Is
the devil’s chain; every drink adds a link,
and then he binds his victim and casts him
Into hell. The saloon Is the devil's work
shop and nil who patronize It are his vic
tims.

"Drunkards Mad# H#r#."
A Ikij* snw a drunken man lying In the
P iter In front of a saloon, and he went
nnd told the proprietor that his sign bad

Recently in an Ohio village, the question
of local option waa to be submitted to
the poople. Tho editor of the town paper
wrote an editorial In opposition to the sa

paper were open to any who favored If.

one could say anything In Its favor. Not

What It Costs.
The amount of mousy that Is annually
more than wasted for drink is almost In*
credible. According to The American
Grocer, the drink bill of the United States
Is over a billion dollars; more than the
bonded Indebtedness of the government,
and, exclusive of the postal system, al
most three times the yearly expenditures.
A good deal Is Mid about a bllllon-dollar
congress, but uothlng Is said about a 1*11-
lton-dollar whisky traffic. Now, If we *dd
to this amount the loss the country sus
tains In destroying labor. In supporting
paupers, and prosecuting criminals, the
amount would be fabulous.
And yet. the money expended Is tho
smallest part of what It costs.
