Goldin Text—"Win# it a mocker, atrong drink It raging.”—Proverb# 20t1.
By DR. GEORGE A. BEATTIE.
To fully undrratnml Paul'# letter to the
Gnlatlnn*, we mutt know something about
the persons to whom It was addrraaiMj, and
why It was written.
The Gnlntlnn* were the descendant* of a
rare which had migrated, or been driven,
from Prance to what wat known at Phrygia
In Aula Minor. ■"
In hi* tecoud missionary tour Paul had
visited Gnlntfn, was detained there by sick
ness, nud gained tunny converts, whom be
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 ye?”
llut with I’nul 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
ing to Mghtfoot. nlK»ut 68 A.. I), from Cor
inth, or, as Ramsay and Mctilffert think,
from Antioch. Just before the second mis-
sbrnary Journey. A. !>. 62.
In It he seeks to establish the true view
of the gospel, ns the gospel of llbertr, of
freedom from human Institutions, ritualistic
observance*, from legnllsm, from the Indul-
cenre of fleshly appetites and passions and
lusts.
It might be coiled the epistle of freedom.
No less tbnn eleven times, and In this
connection more oftpn than In nil 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 the
Galatians became to I.uther a weapou for
the emancipation of mankind.”
It is emancipation from everything that
enclaves l»ody or soul. No better selection
could have been made for n lesion on tern-
(•cranes than this letter.
Engagement Rings.
The newest and most ef
fective combinations of pre
vious stones, in original and
artistic settings, are shown
in our large gathering of en
gagement rings.
The styles are charming
with always the suggestion
of pretty sentiment—
Diamonds and Rubies
Diamonds and Sapphires
Diamonds and Pearls
Settings such as princess,
clusters, diagonals, circlets,
rosettes—
And,, of course, soltaires.
Maier & Berkele.
It eiiHlnves both soul and l»ody; Its chulns
are the most galling and the hardest to
break. Many of Jts slaves would not !u»
free If they could, and many could not If
they would.
The Devil’* Chain.
The story Is told of a man who once en
gaged a smith to make a chain of so many
links, and when It was completed he
brought It to the man, who ordered so
many more links to bo added, and when
the work was done he was ordered to make
so many more links, and then the man
commanded that he should bo hound with
It and east Into prison. Intemperance Is
the devil's chain; every drink adds a link,
and then he hinds his victim and casts him
Into bell. The saloon Is the devil'* work
shop and all who patronise It are hi* vie-
More tbnn any one else, the devil la In-
Drunkards Mad# Her*."
A l»oy saw a drunken man lying In the
gutter In front of a saloon, and he went
in and told the proprietor thnt bis sign had
fnllen down.
Recently In an Ohio village, the ouestlon
of local option was to l>e submitted to
the people. The editor of the town paper
wrote an editorial In opposition to the sa
loon. and stated thnt the column* of bis
were open to any who favored It,
a saloon, and this csss Is only one of thou
sands.
What it Coats.
The amount of money 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 orfer a billion dollars; more than the
bonded Indebtedness of the government,
end, exclusive of the postal system, a
most three times the yearly expenditures.
A good deni ts said about a bllllon-dollnr
congress, but nothing Is said about n
nondollar whisky traffic. Now, if wo add
to this amount the loss the country sus
tains In destroying labor. In supporting
paupers, and prosecuting criminals, the
amount would he fabulous.
Ami yet, the money expended Is the
smallest part of what It costa.
An army of 600,000 men every year Tall
Into n drunkard’s grave and go to a drunk
ard's hell, for over the gates of the Ce
lestial city Is written: “No drunkard cun
enter here.”
Its suppression appeals to our patriotism,
as well ns to our piety and our pity. ,
The time Is rnpblly coming when the
» Je will realise that the traf-
estroyed, or It will destroy
the nation. It carrupt* our courts of Jus
tice, It prevents offfe
