LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 4
WORLD-WIDE PROHIBITION-
WORLD’S TEMPERANCE
s SUNDAY.
LESSON TEXT—Ps. 101:1-8; Prer.
23:29-35.
GOLDEN TEXT—“I will set no
wicked thing: before my eyes.”—Ps.
101:3.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Taking Care of
Our Bodies.
JUNIOR TOPIC—The Effects of Al
cohol.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—Progress of Prohibition at Home
and Abroad
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—The Fight Against Lawlessness.
I. Principles of a Righteous Llfs
(Ps. 101:1-8).
This is a psalm of David the king,
and therefore shows the conduct of a
ruler. It is divided Into two sections
—the first, verses 1-4, refers to person
al conduct, and the Becond, 5-8, to the
government of others. This part of the
lesson can only refer to the destruc
tion of the saloon in the sense that all
evil is to be uprooted and destroyed.
1. Personal Conduct (vv. 1-4). (1)
Kindness and judgment (v. 1); (2)
wise behavior (v. 2) ; (3) all malice
put away (v. 3); all wickedness put
aside (v. 4).
2. Government of Others (vv. 5-8).
Only ns one is right in ills own heart
and life is he lit to rule others. As a
righteous man he will be against {1)
the slanderer (v. 5). He will not tol
erate such in his presence. (2) The
worker of deceit (v. 7). The deceitful
man nnd the liar are to be removed
from his sight. (3) All workers of In
iquity (v. 8). It is the duty of rulers
to see that all workers of wickedness
of all kinds tie cut off. The manufac
turer and seller of liquor should he re
garded as notorious workers of iniqui
ty. Those who blight manhood for
sordid gain are grossly wicked.
II. The Awful Ruin Wrought by
Strong Drink (Prov. 28:29-35).
I. Woes of Those Who Indulge in
Wine (vv. 2, 30). (1) The awful pain
which causes one to cry out, “Oh!”
Many, Indeed, are the pains which men
suffer because of strong drink. Bodily
ills innumerable can be traced to Its
evil Influence. (2) The .bitter remorse,
which causes one to cry out, "Alas!’’
Many are the expressions of bitter re
gret which daily come from the lips
•f the drunkard. (8) Contention—
strife and quarreling. Much of the
fighting among men is directly caused
by their passions being inflamed by
strong drink. The drunken man is al
ways ready to take offense, as well as
to give it. (4) Babblings and com
plainings. The winebibber complnln*
of everything—ill luck, loss of friends,
of fate and of God. He sees every
thing wrong but himself. (5) Wounds
without cause. These are wounds
from fights in which a sober man
would not hnve engaged, and from ac
cidents which are purely the result of
intoxication. (6) Redness of eye».
This has reference to the blood-shot
eye of the tippler which dims hla
vision. Ail these woes come upon
those who tarry long at wine.
II. The Attitude Enjoined (v. 31).
Look not at it. Do not put yourself
Into the way of temptation. The only
safe attitude toward strong drink i«
total abstinence, and the only way to
total abstinence is not to even look
at It.
III. The Drunkard’s Bitter End (vv.
32-85).
1. Acute Miseries. “It blteth like a
serpent and stingeth. like an adder.”
Strong drink, like the poison of a ser
pent, permeates the whole system and
ends in the most fatal consequences.
2. Perversion of the Moral Sente.
This excitement causes the eyes to be
hold strange things. *Thls denotes the
fantastic images produced on the brain
of the drunkard. Even when delirium
tremens does not result, there are aw
ful fancies which are beyond the pos
sibility of realization. Then does bis
heart utter perverse things. His moral
sense being perverted, his utterances
partake of the same. He tells lies; his
words cannot be relied upon.
3. He Is Insensjble to Danger <v.
34). He is foolhardy, even as one who
would lie in the top of a ship’s mast,
where there is the greatest danger of
falling off.
4. He Is Insensible to Pain (v. 35).
The drnnkard is utterly ignorant of
what happens to him while under the
Influence of strong drink. Many
bruises and wounds the drunkard has
which he cannot account for.
5. His Abject Bondage (v. 35). After
all his sufferings, sorrow and disap
pointments, he goes on as a bond
slave in the ways of sin.
6. Hell at Last. No drunkard shall in
herit the kingdom of heaven (I Cor.
6:10).
Whole Sum of Human Life.
Of the whole sum of human life no
small part is that which consists of
a man's relations to his country, and
his feelings concerning it.—Gladstone.
Prospects.
If you will show ine the style of a
man’s amusements and recreations, I
will tell you what are his prospect*.—
De Witt Talmage.

in the world.—F. Saunders^
