The International Sunday School Lesson for June 30 is, "A Temperance
Lesson," 1 Cor. 10: 22-23. Tho Golden Text Is, "It Is Good Neither to
Eat Flesh, Nor to Drink Wine, Nor Anything Whereby Thy Brother
Stumbleth ” Romans 14: 21.
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Thore Is a dost of unlabeled Christianity
In the world In these days. The tidal
wave of many-named socialism that seems
to be sweeping ovor the whole earth Is,
after all, but an expression of the Now
Testament principle to which tho Sunday
schools this week give attention. Tho stu
dent unrest In Japan, the revolution In
Russia, the spectacular awakening of Chino,
the struggle of Korea for national exist
ence, the portentlous Swadeshi movement
I India, the mntterings of the “Young
gypt" party, the dominance of laborlsm
Qd liberalism In British politics, and tho
owerful social ferment In the United
States, may all reasonably be Interpreted us
widely separated specimens of the ono un
derlying sentiment of individual liberty and
social Interdependence. Ostensibly, at least,
all of these manifestations look to the bet
terment of the common welfare and the
enlargement of personal rights and Inde
pendence.
Old-Fashioned Up-to-Dateness.
everybody Is under obligations to all.
That Is, broadly stated, the day’s platform.
Yet what Is that but tho Pauline teaching,
net forth In tho present Sunday school les-
Hon. “Let no man seek hla own, but each
uIh neighbor’s good?” Or, again, "Not
socking my owu profit, but the profit of
tho nuyiy.’ r There you have what tne tracts
used to call “truths for tho time.” Ho Ih
« dull teacher, Indeed, who can not point
*uls lesson with Illustrations not a few
from the days' news. In truth, tho coinci
dence between tho theme of this lesson and
• no thought of tho day Is most extraor
dinary.
The world's socialism is seeking the goal
long ago Indicated by Inspired pens, even
though It know it not. The day's “ad
vanced" thinkers may consider themselves
ahead of the old-fashioned Book: but In
truth they are only coming up to it. Thero
way be nn atmosphere of novelty and pro-
grosslvenese about espousing the cause of
the common weal, as set forth under va
rious names, yst the indisputable fact Is
that this has been the message of Christian-
ty for centuries. The Christian church at
its purest hag presented the nearest to an
ideal social condition that the world has
p ver scan.
Ill-Founded Temperance Teaching.
In tho present Instance, this big truth,
which Jesus embodied In His llfo and Ills
followers set down on the sacred page, Is
indicated for .Its bearing upon the temper-
snee question, which once a quarter Is
designated as the theme of study by the
millions of members of the Sunday school.
Herein Is found the sanest and most uni
6allnl>le basis for tho temperance position.
When children are taugnt, with more seal
than truthfulness, that only bad people ever
drink Intoxicants, they grow up to learn
that the teaching Is not true. When they
are told that to taste liquor always menna
drunkenness and ruin they are certain Inter
to discover the falsity of this Instruction.
When It Is represented to them that the
drinking of wlno Is forbidden by Scripture
their own Intelligent fending eventually
controverts the statement. No man can
ever know how much tempernneo Instruc
tion has fallen to the ground In failure
because bnsed upon these unsound founda
tions.
A Man's Noblest "Right.”
But when tho Pauline position of noble
altruism Is token—“give no occasion for
stumbling"—surrendering one’s lawful right
because It Is not expedient or does not build
up, then the temperance propaganda stands
upon uti unshakable basis. Not only has a
man a right to give up his own Indulgence In
ly taste, for the sake of his fellow-men,
it he Is concededly noble In the exerclso
of that right. To do for others, or to do
without for others, Is magnanimous and
brotherly; It Is the law of the Ideal llfo.
This Is the platform upou which Paul
taught concerning a subject analogous to
the modern drinking habit: the eating by
Cbrtstlnus of meat which had been offered
to idols. Tho meat was nothing In Itself:
the effect of the eating of It upon one's
own conscience, and the conscience of one's
follow-men, was the main consideration.
Paul, you see. was a Christian socialist.
Thero Is a higher ground yet. and to It
the great apostle ascended. There Is a
loftier motive for human action than man
kind’s welfare: n motive which Is really
necessary to tho sustenance of the latter.
This is the glory of God. The highest ex-
B resslon of man’s good Is God's glory. Man
i rarely In right relations with man until
he Is In right relations with God. “Get
right with God" Is the prelude to getting
right with man. A sense of obligation Jo
Infinite has ever been the most now<
"* to tne i
i hcrefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ya
o, do all to the glory of God." The man
who lives by that law will never make a
brewer rich or n neighbor poor.

niands that the first shall bo put first.
All truth Is practical; this exalted teach
Ing har'd direct relation to the every-day
theme of tcmpernance to which the passage
from Paul’s letter is at present applied.
The first and greatest commandment can
not 1)0 kept by the person who Is dishonor
ing his mind nml body by strong drink.
The lover of God Is l>ound to make himself
fit for such a relationship. Intemperance la
In such a one nothing less than Iniquity.
A Word of Warning,
While preferring to deal with principles
ns sot forth above rather than with detailed
practices, yet I can not forego this oppor
tunity to suggest a fact In relation to the
use of alcoholic beverages which has of
late been forced upon my attention. In a
year s Journey around tne world I bare
noted everywhere tho partnership of strong
drink with other vices. There Is not an
evil habit that curses society, unless It be
- ..—-53- buali _ _
of nil sides of life in many countries, anu
everywhere I have fonnd Intoxicants In
close relationship with every open and fin-
ff raa * v,ro * P *cept possibly opium using.
The meaning of tbls is patent: "Where
there Is drink there Is danger.’’ The stimu
lating glass has been the means of Innumer-
ab e persons' Introduction to even worse
habits. Jho shocking story of her fell
which a young woman told on the witness
stand In n New York court a few months
ago would have been Impoeelble of enact
ment had she not beoa first befuddled by
the wine glass. The careful parent, who
knows the ways of this wicked old world,
understand* that s tremendous safeguard Is
removed from his child’s character when he
or she Is permitted to become familiar with
the moderate use of Intoxicants This Is
not temperance fanaticism: It i« the most
apparent nml commonplace worldly caution.
An Introduction to drink Is n possible Intro-
auction to fates worse than death. This

Fortune," aa presented at the Grand

pany, Atlanta In to have a summer
omedy which will please the most
fastidious. This play will give this
charming little woman an opportunity
to show her great ability aa an actress,
and If rehearsals count for anything
she la to receive an ovation which
would have flattered tho creator of the
role. This play Is a delightful corned;
throughout, with Just a strain of Soutl
American revolution running through
to rnuke It melodramatic and eet the
blood a tingling, while the love story Is
as charming as could possibly be de
sired.
“The Christian" at tha Grand.
With Friday's performance and the
matinee and night performance on Sat

been attracting the largest crowds of
the season to the Grand, where the

“A Stranger In Town.*
“A Stranger In Town,” one of the
liveliest comedies of the year, will be
presented at the Casino next week and
will prove one of the beat thing, of the
kind that ha, ever been offered at this
house. The piece moves rapidly and
la full of droll situations, without be
ing loaded down with too much farci
cal extravagance. The chief burden
falls upon Frank Beamish, who does
some excellent comedy work. Miss
Rita Knight, who Is pretty, versatile
anil one of the most handsomely gown
ed women on the stage, Is cast os
Nancy Noyes and makes the most of
her opoprtunltles. The musical num
bers and specialties are uniformly
good, and the company very evenly
