OBIGIN or INEBRATES.
A RECENT SERMON BY REV. G. W.
GARNER, GREENSBORO, GA.
K. 'W

■< \ / <*•
1 Cor. VIII, 13, "If meat make my brother to
offend, 1 will eat no flesh while the world
etandeth, lest J make my brother to offend.”
The apostle’s teaching in this chap
ter and verse evidently is this—that
if what I eat or drink, what 1 say or
do, where I go or don’t go, if
anything whatsoever I do, cause
my fellow-man to sin, I will
never be guilty of that thing. It
is objected, however, that this in
terpretation is too broad, that it
would be too great a restriction of our
rights, liberties, and privileges. But
the apostle anticipated and met this
objector in the same chapter, 9th
verse. “But take heed, lest, by any
means, this liberty of yours become
a stumbling block to them that are
weak.”
I submit that a few women and
thousands of young men and ol<l
ones have been offended, have stum
bled, have fallen into the dangerous
habit of social drinking, into drunk
enness, and into hell. No argument
is needed to establish this position.
A moment’s reflection will bring to
your mind half a dozen poor drunk
ards in your county or perhaps im
mediate vicinity; and one text of
Scripture seals the destiny of each
one of them. “No drunkard shall
inherit the kingdom of heaven.” But
WHO ARE THE MEAT EATERS?
Drunkards are made, not born. It
is doubtless true that some inherit a
taste for intoxicants, and that it is
stronger in some than in others; yet
take the man with the strongest in
herited appetite for drink, and un
aided entirely he will never make a
drunkard of himself. N*ow iJt us
see if we can ascertain who are the
manufacturers of inebirates, and how
they operate.
WOMEN AND WINE.
With a great degree of reluctance,
we bring this indictment against this
noblest class of creation, many of
whom are bearing the Temperance
banner on to victory, but faithful
ness on the part of God’s Watchman
demands that we raise the ory of al
arm for the benefit of those who are
not thus engaged.
There arc many wives, and moth
ers, and sisters, and sweethearts,
who are aiding in swelling the al
ready too largo army of inebriates.
The appetite for intoxicants is
sometimes deeply imbedded in the
nature of the child, and without cul
tivation, might sleep on there to no
hurt, but sometimes the first great
awakening sensation comes from the
wine in the syllabub, or custard or
as it giveth its color in the cup,
fresh from the fair hand of mother,
sister, or friend. To say that no
harm was intended does not console
much when you see the cords of
that deadly habit tightening around
your loved one.
The apostle Paul suffered ship
wreck en route to Home, and landed
on the island of Melita. The barba
rians showed him no small kindness,
in making him a fire to dry his drip
ping clothes and warin his chilled
body. “And when Paul had gather
ed a bundle of sticks and laid them
on the fire, there came a viper out of
the heat, and fastened on his hand.”
Women are generally very unfriend
ly to the serpent, but when he is
coiled in their wine, they do not
seem to suspect him. Ah, how of
ten has the viper come out of that
wine, used in the preparation of
those fashionable meals, and fasten
tened in the appetite of that father,
husband, son, or friend, and lured
Jiiin to destruction and to despair.
“Wine is a mocker.” O, when will
the last dread chapter of the ser
pent’s beguiling the woman be writ
ten ? The question is easily answer
ed, when the woman will forever,
and eternally, and on all occasions,
and in every conceivable way, let
the serpent severely alone; and
when the women will array them
selves as one against him in prayer,
in pen, and in influence. Here is
one of the great strongholds of Tem-
perance. Oh, that every housekeep
er in our land would say, If in the
use of wine in preparing meals has
ever caused any one to offend, I will
use it no more while the world stand
eth, lest I might give somebody a
start towards destruction.
THE SOCIAL DRINKER
is the parent of all drunkards.
“Whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap.” All social
drinkers have not made drunkards,
but all drunkards have been social
drinkers. One small leak has prov
en the destruction of some of the
best equipped steamers that ply the
ocean.
The social drinker is not liable to
make shipwreck, himself, but his ex
ample before bis sons, and with his
perhaps weaker friends, is where Sa
tan gets in his most extensive work
of destruction. A Baptist deacon
once made a boast of being a man in
social drinking, taking a drink at
pleasure, without danger of becom
ing intoxicated. Well, no charge of
crookedness is here brought against
this wine-deceived brother, but he
went to his store on one occasion,
and behold ! that plain old lock on
the door had mysteriously change’d
itself into a combination lock. Yes,
everything about it was combined
against its entrance ; even the key
hole forbade the key and every time
an assault was made, that plain old
key would turn itself upside down.
Believing in final perseverance, as
most Baptists do he continued his
fittings until everything fit, and in
he went. When the great “bar
room or no barroom” contest con
fronts this social drinker, we find
him conscientiously opposed to the
“no bar-room” side of the question.
Wine is a deluder. To take that
side is to take on board with you
the Negro and much of the scum of
creation. Just how far in this one
instance, this meat-eating has exten
ded for evil, etcrinty only can reveal;
but these loose views and looser prac
tice have paved the way for two of
his sons, who are now running
drunkard-factories, and are succeed
ing, i. e., in making drunkards, and
money at the price of blood and im
mortal souls. Volumes of similar,
and perhaps very much more horri
ble, instances could be given, but we
pass to notice the social drinker in
his most dangerous aspect as
THE TREATER.
At of the drunkards are
the product of the treater. This
combination of friendship and appe
tite for drink is almost irresistible to
most men. Many a noble young
man has thus been induced to take
his first drink, that long stride to
ward the pit of ruin. How slippery
has the ground been made by the
use of this meat. Countless are the
fathers, husbands, and brothers, who
have left home for town, with a
promise, by all that is good, not to
treat nor be treated ; but inflamed
with the appetite, and pressed by
old friends, have yielded and thus
grown weaker.
I knew a man who for years had
been a very hard drinker, no kinder
husband and father could have been
than he in bis sober moments; but
when the drink was in him, and the
drink thirst upon him, gentleness
gave way to brutality, and caresses
were turned to blows. His loving
wife forgave all and loved on, watch
ing for, and with him, and praying
for bis salvation. At last a temper
ance wave caught him; he pledged
himself, kept his pledge, prospered
in his business, and his home became
full of the old, sweet, happiness.
For ton years this man kept firm, At
tended to his business and prosper
ed. One day he was in a neighbor
ing city on business. He had finish
ed what he had to do, and was wait
ing for the out-going train, when an
old friend, whom he had not seen
for nearly a dozen years, camo into
the smoking room of his hotel, and at
once, recognized him. Bight gladly
they renewed old acquaintance and
talked over old times, and felt their
hearts warm toward each other, as
the old memories were revived.
His time was nearly up when the
friend, suddenly rising, said, “Come,
Joe, 1 havn't seen you for nearly a
dozen years, let us have something
for the sake of “Auld Lang Syne.”
“Don't drink any more Hal,” he re
plied, “have given it up these ton
years.” “Nonsense, old fellow, you
can take a glass with me just for old
acquaintance sake.” He pleaded
off, spoke of his home and business,
and declared that he had determin
ed never to drink again. But his
old friend urged him, and at last
ponuaded him to take “just one
glass of wine.” He took it, the old
thirst came back ; that train did not
take him from the city, but a later
one did. Alas, how changed! At
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, JUNE 16. 1892.
midnight, crazed with drink, he
reached his home. The very dem
ons had taken possession of him, sev
en devils had come back where one
had been driven out. In vain were
the pleadings of wife and children.
He drank on, fell lower and lower,
and filled at last a drunkard’s grave.
That old friend meant nothing
wrong, probably never knew the fa
tal harm he had done, but his one
(‘treat” was the ruin of a happy
home and of an immortal soul.
What a blessing to all our world,
if every treater would say, “If treat
ing cause my*friend to offend, I will
treat no more while the world stand
eth, lest I help my best friend to be
a drunkard.”
Now let us continue the investiga
tion of the manufacturers of inebri
ates, in connection with two or three
drunkard factories. With all due
respect, I submit that our law-mak
ing powers license the manufacture
and sale of intoxicants, and by, so
doing license the manufacture of
drunkards, and widows, and orphans,
and red eyes, and red noses, and con
tention, and sorrow, and rags, and a
homeless family, on the one hand;
and palace and sumptuous living,
and fine linen on the other.
That was the trial of all the ages,
when the son of God was arraigned
before Pilate. The people all clam
ored for his blood, and pleaded for
the noble Barrabbas and cowardly
Pilate, to please the people, not that
he thought it right, granted their
wish. But the centuries have
brought a decided change in views
and a division of sentiment. All of
God’s people who love Temperance,
morality, and religion, more than
they love a dram, both men and wo
men, have been crying aloud with
long petitions, and strong speeches
and sermons, to our law-makers for
Christ and His blood-bought cause,
untrammelled by the whiskey curse,
the greatest foe of God and man.
But instead of listening to these
people who are holding the world
and society together, they have turn
ed their ears to those whose hearts
are not burdened with the spiritual
and moral welfare of our common
wealth, and have licensed unto us
this great army of Barabbases. Our
law-makers, knowing the strength
and almost unanimity of the Negro
vote and Negro appetite for whiskey,
and, also the kindred depravity of
some white voters, have washed
their hands in the local prohibition
act, throwing it back upon the peo
ple. It is a shame before God that
the custodians of our moral •welfare
should have provided that such a
curse should be voted upon us, by
such a class, and kept on us to im
pede the cause of our Christ. All
honor to those God-loving and man
loving men who have had backbone
enough to wash their hands by op
posing, in the halls of legislation and
everywhere, by speech, and vote,
and influence, the accursed rum traf
fic. O, how we hope that our next
legislature will be composed of such
men as will say, seeing the pestilence
of the rum traffic that walketh in
darkness and the destruction of it
that wasteth at noonday, “therefore,
it shall go, lest still greater interests
shall be engulfed by it.”
THE DISTILLER AND BARKEEPER.
Most sculptors have to keep their
eyes open in order to progress and
success, but these two classes of
drunkard-sculptors have closed their
eyes and their ears, and their reason,
and their conscience; and everything
except their business and their pock
ets, and are turning out, every month,
magnificent splotches on the fair
name of some of the best families in
the land. Yes, what splendid ma
terial! The noble-hearted, bright
young man, the promising physician,
the brilliant lawyer, the giant states
man. Chip by chip the mind goes,
money and influence go, health goes,
moral manhood goes and then
the poor drunkard goes. 0
where ! That milldam that backs wa
ter on the neighbor’s premises, that
produces malaria and sickness and
death to the people, justice says, not
withstanding, the miller and the
owner of the property may be pros
pering, temporally, it must go.
There is not a family in Georgia
who has not suffered directly or in
directly, from the back water of
these abominable ponds of corruption
and iniquity that blight our country
perhaps for the profit of the few, and
at the expense of all that is good in
the entire commonwealth. We wish
these friends of ours who run
these drunkard-factories were Bible
readers, and knew that there is a God
whom they will meet soon, and that
they would say, with the sacred
pensinan of our text: “If meat make
my brother to offend, I will eat no
flesh while the world standeth.” But
«
such a man at such a business would
be a remarkable to the won
ders of the world. We do read, how
ever, of one such example; we hope
it is true, but he had no sons nor suc
cessors. It is related that a young
man entered the bar room of a vil
lage tavern and asked for a drink.
“No,” said the landlord. “You had
delirium treens once and I cannot
sell you any more.” He stepped
aside to make room for a couple of
young men who had just entered,
and the landlord waited on them
very politely. The other had stood
by silent and sullen, and when they
finished he walked up to the land
lord and thus addressed him: “Six
years ago at their age, I stood where
those young men are now’, I was a
young man of fair prospects. Now,
at the age of twenty-eight, I am a
wreck in body and mind. In this
room I formed the habit that has
been my ruin. Now sell me a few
more glasses, and youy work -Will be
done. I shall soon be out of the way,
there is no hope for me ; but they
can be saved. Do sell it to me and
let me die, and the world w ill be rid
of me; but for Heaven’s sake, sell
no more to them. The landlord list
ened, pale and trembling setting
down his decanter, he exclaimed,
“So help me God! this is the last
drop I will ever sell to anyone !”
And he keeps his w’ord.
ACCESSORIES.
It may be objected by some of
these classes, that “I have never
made a druakard of anybody.” In
the abstract that is true, perhaps, of
each class mentioned, but you can
not deny that you have been acces
sory to the deed. Two men fight
unto death; a third party stands by
and sees the bloody deed accom
plished. This third party is arrested
as an accomplice, and is punished
accordingly.
Nathan said to David, “Thou hast
killed Uriah the Hittite with the
sword of the children, of Ammon.”
2 Sam. xll:9. Now David had not
touched Uriah, but with his heart
bent on one thing that Uriah pos
sessed, we see the result and David’s
secret hand is the one that did the
work. 0, no, the saloon keeper nev
er made any drunkards, but he ex
ercises great tact in bringing the
whisky and men together.
Judas might have reasoned, “I did
not crucify the Savior of the
wdrld. *1 bear any ill
will against' him, but there was
money in it to me and I sold him.”
Ah ! the bloody dimes that lie in the
barkeeper’s tills, the bloody money,
the price of souls. Our world would
be one vast cemetery if the blood
money all took the direction that
Judas’s money took. We hope no
saloon keeper will ever be so philan
thropic as Judas was, at last, to
hang himself; but oh, how we wish
they would all hang their iniquitous
business ! We will furnish the scaf
fold after the latest improved plan,
and agree to bury it in a sealed
tomb and preach its funeral.
STONG DRINK NO PLAYTHING.
Many good people have had fel
lowship for this serpent in their fam
ilies, and, the children have grown
up with the idea that it is a harmless
beast, and have been bitten, past
recovery, at a time when they were
not suspecting.
“A wild beast tamer gave a per
formance with his lions, tygers, leop
ards and hyenas. In the closing scene
he was to exhibit a huge boa con
strictor, thirty five feet long'. He had
bought it when it was two or three
days old, and for twenty-five years
had handled it daily. The curtain
rose upon an Indian w oodland scene.
The strains of weird music come
stealing through the trees. Sudden
ly, there is a rustling noise’, and an
enormous serpent is seen winding its
way through the undergrowth. It
stops. Its head is erect. Its bright
eyes sparkle. Its whole body seems
animated. A man emerges from the
heavy foliage. Their eyes meet.
The serpent quails before his master.
Under his guidance it performs a
series of frightful feats. At a signal
from the man, it slowly approaches
him, and begins to coil its heavy
folds around him.
Higher and higher they rise until
man and serpent seem blended into
one. Its hideous head is reared
aloft, above the mass. The man
gives a little scream, and the audience
unite in a thunderous burst of ap
plause, which suddenly freezes on
their lips. The trainer’s scream was
a wail of death agony. The horror
stricken audience heard bone after
bone crack, as those powerfuls folds
tightened about him. Man's play
thing had become his master.”
“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is
raging: and whosoever is deceived,
thereby, is not wise.”

MESSIAH’S REIGN—QUARTERLY
MISSIONARY LESSON.
Lesson for June 26> 1892.
Scripture lesson : Paslm 72: 7-19.
Motto Text.—“ All kinds shall
fall down before him; all nations
shall serve him.” (Verse 11.)
introduction.
The Speaker’s commentary, allud
ing to this Psalm, says: “It bears
indications of Solomon’s authorship.
The style resembles that of the
Proverbs, and is different from the
Davidic Psalms. The allusion to
distant lands, to an extended and
peaceful dominion, and a certain air
of calm and cheerful reflection are
characteristic of the son of David.”
“It depicts the extent of the king’s
dominion, and uses it as a figure of
the wide spread of Messiah’s king
dom ; and may be said to present in
its symbolic meaning a splendid vis
ion of the conquest of the world by
missionary endeavor.
The prophetic picture of this
psalm was however only partially
fufilled by him. A greater
than Solomon is here—One seen
through the ages who shall spare the
poor and needy, and to whom the
sovereigns of remote heathen na
tions are coming; his name shall en
dure forever, and even to-day all
nations are calling him blessed.”
A brief analysis is all that is neces
sary to give of the Psalm, as the
time is most appropriate to present,
as a Sunday-school Lesson, a short,
succinct summary of the Home and
Foreign Missions of our Southern
Baptist Convention, taken from the
Proceedings of the Lesson of the
present years.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST MISSIONS—FOR
EIGN.
Through their Foreign Mission
Board, located at Hfchmond, Va., the
Southern Baptists carry on Missions
in Italy, China, Japan, Africa, Bra
zil and Mexico, our oldest Mission is
that at Canton, China, which was be
gun in 1845. The next oldest was
that begun at Shanghai, China in
1847. The next was our African
Mission, begun in 1850. Then fol
lowed the Tung Chou missions in
1860, and ten years later, in 1870
our mission work in Italy began. Our
mission work in Bazil was be<sun in
1880, as was our mission in Mexico.
Our Japan missionaries were sent
out in 1889. The following is a
brief summary of the Missions of our
Foreign Board.

The number of main preaching
stations is thirty, and of other preach
ing stations is 155. The number of
male missionaries is thirty-eight, of

But a good many new ones will be
sent out during this year; while
several of the older missionaries are
resting and recruiting in America.
The number of ordained native
preachers is twenty-one and there
are' sixty native male and female
helpers. We have seventy-four mis

OUR CUBAN MISSION.
This is one of the most remarka
ble missions of modern times, and
seems to be entirely providential.
The work was entrusted to the
Home Board in 1886, and has grown
wonderfully’, mainly through the ef
forts of Rev. A. J. Diaz, a converted
Cuban. The success of our mission
there, under God, is due to the fact
that religious liberty prevails, and
the Roman Catholic authorities are
restrained. The purchase of a cost
ly Theater, which has been turned
into a church building, and of ground
for cemetery, has greatly aided our
cause. For, without a cemetery of
their own, the Baptists could not
bury their dead; and the possession
of such a splendid church building
commands respect for our mission.
In Cuba we have six churches and
two other preaching stations. There
are 2,097 church members, eight Sun
day-schools, with 2,500 scholars.
The average attendance, all the rear
round is 900. We have nine Day
Schools, and the daily average at
tendance is 875. There are 19 mis
sionaries, of whom eleven are men
and eight are women. Baptisms last
year, 180. Our Home Board de
serves great credit for this mission.

The now discovery • for dia
•olving find removing discolnrntfons from the cu
ticle, and bleaching and brightening the complex
ion. In experimenting in the laundry with a
new bleach for fine fabrics it vm discovered that
all apots, freckles, tan and other discolorations
were quickly removed from the liandj and arms
without the slightest injury to the skin. The dis
covery was submitted to experienced Dermatolo
fists and Physicians who prepared for us the
urniula of the marvelous Derma-Royale. there
never was anything j.ikk it. It is perfectly
harmless and so simple a child can use it. Apply
at night—the improvement apparent after a single
application will surprise and delight you. It
quickly dissolves and removes the woist forms of
•noth-patches, brown or liver spots, freckles,
blackheads, blotches, sal lowness, redness, tan
and everv discoloration of the cuticle. One bottle
completely removes and cures the most aggravated
case and thoroughly clears, whitens and beautifies
the complexion. It has never failed—it cannot
i fail. It is highly recommended by Physicians
and its sure results warrant us in offering
REWARD. -To assure the public of its
u/WKz merits we agree to forfeit
Five Hundred Dollars cash, for any case of moth
patchew. bion n spots, liver spots, blackheads, ugly
or muddy skin, unnatural redness, freckles, tan
or any other cutaneous discolorations, (excepting
birth-marks, scars, and those of a scrofulous or
kindred nature) that Derma-Royale will not
quickly remove and cure. We also agree to forfeit
Five Hundred Dollars to any person whose skin
can be injured in the slightest possible manner, s
or to anyone whose complexion (no matter bowS
bad it may be), will not be cleared, whitened, im- 3
proved and beautified by the use of Derma-lloyale. S
