PROHIBiT lUN SCRIPTUIiAL.

A sermon prt-ached by Eld. Q. L. Ell i i at varioua |K)int« and requested for publication in TUE BAP-TIST.

• Drink no Intiepr Wntrr, but u«o a little wInn (or tby otomftcb'fl tako, and tbine ofun inarmltlet.*'-! Tim. v.

IT is a very common thing for wbiaky drinkers to quote tho al)ove language as authority for their

priictice. But I shall endeavor to show during the progress of this diacussion that it does not favor dram-drinking, but teaches prohibition, especially 80 far as Christians are concerncd.

PR'jnrniTiON scnrPTURAi,. Trov. XX. 1. While this Scripture teaches that

"wino is a mocker" and that "strong drink is rag-ing," it uho teaches that it is deceptive, and this we know from observation. When one takes his first drink he has no thought of ever becoming a drunkard, but if remonstrated with will say. No, I will never be a drunkard," but watch him, and iinally you will see him reeling. Why? Deceived by wine and strong drink, while God's word is paying all tho time, "Bo not deceivecl," and he that is de-ceived is not wiHe." Why is he a drunkard ? One reason is, ho has rejected tho counsels of God's word.

In Deut. xxi. 18-21, we have a law for the gov-orument of Israel in dealing with drunken sons, l)ut do we as tho servantu ot God (drive to carry it out in any respect? No, l ut upon tho other hand if we have a drunken son we apologize for him, and if he gets drunk auil gets iuto trouble, we pay him out, or smuggle him out, and ihua encourage him in his drunkenness and wickedness. When the children of Israel obeyed God's word thsy pros-pered, when they disobeyed they suHered. A word to ihe wise is suflicient. GoJ commands us to honor father and mother, but in drinking we dis honor God, disregard his truth, and rlisgrace our selves.

In Isa. v. 11-12, God pronounces a woe against those Who drink, and tflls us plainly that in drink we forget God, that we do not consider the work of his hands.

In Hab. ii. 15, God says: Woo unto him thnt giveth," yes, "giveth his neighbor drink, that pntteth the bottle to tiim, and makesf him drunken also." Arid every man who votes for liquor to re-main for sale in Tennessee is virtually putting the bottio to his neighbor's lipa, and Gotl'e woe stands against him. And he who votes to retain tho li-quor traffic in the State votes for it with all of its fruits, votes to mako men drunkards, to send them to hell, to bring women and childron to want and clothe them with rags. So remomber that God's curse 18 against tho man who stains, his hand with a Trhisky ballot,

lea, xxvili. 18 pronounces (a woo against tho

host? bo for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of l>eauty to the residue of his people. And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment and for strength to him that turucth the battle to the gatf ." Yes, be aemred, my friends one and all who are engaged in this war%aips t the liquor traffic, the Lord is your strength. And then he further shows that every ono who drinks has erred.

In Judges xiiij 4. An angel appeared unto a woman and said, "Beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink." . . . I t is claimed by some that liquor is a "Good creature of Mo<l,'' that is, I 8upp.»80 they mean God gava it to the world, saying, " the L i r d put i t in the grain and in thq fruits, ' ' but one may safely deny the whole proposition, for no one ever heard of a person be-ing drunk from eating either grain or fruit , and further, every one knows ihot whenever liquor is made from either grain or fruit that both are de-stroyed. That is, in making liquor you destroy what God has given, and pnnluce a soul destroying God-dishonoring, inau-debasiog liquid, which is neither given nor authorized of God, but is one of the abettors of Satan, being a means of peopling the lower regions 1 would therefore ask those who believe t h a t ' liquor is a good creature of God," for what did Goil send and did Christ como into this world ? And as there can be but one rational answer, I will say to save sinners; and erery one says, Amen.

Now iu view of this I would at>k what destroys more souls than strong drink ? and, would Go«l give hi« .Son to save men and liquor to dtstroy them ? The very thought is preposterous and re volting.

1 Cor. vi. 9-13, teaches us that certain charac' UTS shall not inherit (ho ' 'kingdom of God," and among them tlie drunkard is named.

Prov. xxxi. .3-9 teaches that nei'her wino nor strong drink is for kings or princes, "I^est they dtink and fi»get the law, and pervert tho judg mnnt of any of the nfllicted." But, GIKI does how over show us to whom strong drink may be given that is, fo those who are reaily to perish, those who hive made up their minds to go to hell, and if any doubts the word "perish" having thi.s mt-aninit let them read John iii. 14-IG. The Lord also in Prov xxxi. 8 -0 point! out a duty to hisservanta, saying, "Open thy mouth for the dumb. In the cause of-all such as are appointed to destruclioii" Who are "appointed to destruction"? "No drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of heaven."

Again ho says, ' Open thy moulh, judge right-eously, plead the cause of the poor and needy." Who are tho "poor and needy?" The tamilioi of the poor drunkards.

Lev. X. 8-11. The L'>rd shows that the prieata are not to drink, and Iniimates that if they do and come into the-taberoacle of tbo congregation that he will kill them. He further teacliea that they

themselvea unto the Lord; he abal l 'M^^f i i self from wine and strong drink." any degree of (^nsiateney deliver inch ft with the amell of liquor on hia breatiir H l m t t t f Christian TOW !• not the vowof • » vow by which one aeiMuratea hlmielf and the Lord requires that one who ^ilM^tt shall separate themMlves, t ha t it "ahnn evttjr of evil." So it pnt* them aa efibctnally under hibition as the vow of a Nasairite.

Now let us notice I'aul's Inatmotion & Tbiaotfij, "Drink no longer water, but nae «l i tt le win^Ste* It is a conceded fact, that larhere there jfe no hibition theru cau tw no neeeanty fbr n^^MiiM: Timothy was under the Ctiriatian vow, v h ^ ^ i ^ quired him to "shun every Ibrm of evSf' th^^ i ^ he would not violate by drinking vine, bn l t i t leased from the vow by the aanae one tlutt r e ^ i i ^ it, to wit : ihe Holy Spirit whd aaid TPHIM I I M U ^ Paul as wine was necetaary to hia health. little wine for thy atomaeh'a take, and Ihtoe oflea infirmities." Hence before anjr man eaa platd thi i Scriptnre in justification of hia haMt of ll^iior drinking ho must ahow that it ia thel^ifit 'a lioMW to him.

In Gal. V. 16*26 ia pointed out the worka of tke

iA',-

flesh and the fruiu 'of the Spirit, and the duUea Christiana regarding them. It w y i : a ^

drunkani, and shows that the Lord will oast down ^ c not to drink that they may be qualiQed to teae'h to the earth, that the drunkard ihall be trodden ' the ohildrtn of laraol all the aiatutea which the under fbof, and that the whole thing .hall be de . Lord had spoken. No.^ think of a drinking m . o

then, walk in the Spirit, and ye ahall not fulfill the n^A lustfi of the fieah. For the flesh Instiog a p t t e ^ L ^ M r / the spirit, and the apirit against the fledb; and thaae' "" ^ are contrary the one to.the other, ao y e eannot do the things that ye would." Now, why ia It UHlt**j« cannot do the things that ye would?" la it beeaaas ye havenot the power individually? Koii it Is he> cause God's word prohibila it, that ia to My, you eaa-not do these thinga without violating the teaohioi^ and requirementa of the word of God. A a d after naming tho worka o f the flesh the Spirit tayar " i n d such like," that is he that doea thinga like theae, fend all know that while whukey dnnkingianotdranken* nossit is like it, it is that which pioducet drunken-ness, and drunkarda So the teaobinga are ha that doeth these things, " a n d such like, of the whieh I tell you now, a«I have told you in time paat, tlhfet they which do such things shall not inherit the king* dom of God." The whiskey drinkers and dnmk* ards must a i lgo the same way.

Prov. xxli i . 10-21 says: "Hear then, my mm, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the waj* B e not among winebibers." In thia we are,ooumanded not to be "among winebibers," drinkers. **Bat guide 9ur heart In the way." What way? EvidenUy

in the way of the tetoialer, for we ara ferhiddea be among the other class.

In the twenty first chapter of Bavalalioiui m i have a word picture of the "new haavsn and Ibe new earth," and in this the angel 8im"<x>m« Mtfwr I will show thoe the bride, the l 4 i ^ ' ' s « l f« ," a n d Eroceeds to give us a deMription of th« tftr; tiie

li* not frecjueiit however, it being reserved lor

higher life whu-h we shall consider hereafter. L ike

Euoo'i this word toe has been translated that it

stiould niit see death, refuring most comtiionly to

eternal life.

We have htten very particular to di-cover the

literal ordinary meaning of the terms life and death

in the«o languages, because the figurative sense 0

life and death depends wholly upon the literal,

life means existence merely, then death mean.s

non existence. Mr P. is very carefu! not to use

the phrase life a-s synonymous with existence, but

he always ns.«u(nos ii in other terms. Canon Con

stable s;»y<», " Life in common language means

fxiitti'iue." Dr. Ives says, " Death means death

ilie li/M of I'sisienco. ' bu t tho writers whom we

[iropMse so review an; too cautious for such asser

don;s.

Oil the itlier hand .Mr. P. expressly declares that

death 'li es >i >i lerniimite a rnan's existfiuce, and we

[•ro|i(H>-io hjld hiiLi to the conHcqueuces of this

Hf.^f'rtion.

Miiviug found that life and death in their litcra

and ordiniiry meanings refer to certain opposite

utati .X of existence, we next eall attention to the

(igurfttive (ISO "f these words.

Acc;)rdiog to the laws of figurative language

there must ne a correspondence to thu litere

otherwise the figure is defective and misleiiding.

Arc life and death in the figurative sense states of

existence? Do spiritual life and death mean cer-

tain opposite states of existence, or do they refer

to exihtence and non-existence merely?

According to all lexicographers, life and death

have a higher or more pregnant senae than

HE L D at wh i te Mills, Hard ia county, Ky. , be-

ginn ing December nineteenth, 1887, and c.on-

tinuing six daya. J . B. Moody represented tho

Baptiatfl, and J , A . Harding the Camptiellitea.

pnoi'oaiTlON.

The Soripturet teaeh that remission of tins, with like bleiBingn of salvalion, is received before ftaptwm.

Whi le we are awaiting negotiations for a pub

lisbed debate, we still delay ttie continuance of our

affirmative argument, and will subalitute an article

on Paul and .James, The best show Mr. Harding

could make during the whole discussion was to

make James contradict Paul . Wha t Paul said was

not ao, because Jamea said a man is justified by

works, and not by faith only H o could not be

coaxed or coerced to take hold ol Rom. iv. 5.

This James matter was up dur ing the whole six

days, and we wil l not attempt an exact report ct

what waa said in tho forty-four speeches, but will

aim to cover tho ground of contention by going

into the subject a little more minutely than we had

time to do in the debate, for Mr. H . did no more

than repeat times out of mind the passage with

no attempt at argument.

A lew things are necessary to keep in mind ug

weproceed. Tho termsin dispute—"faith,""save, '

"justified," are often used when no reference is had

to tho salvation or ju-.tificatiou by faith of a sinner

before God, The word for "save" occurs about

one hundred times, and about one third of this

number it is used in these lower senses, such aa

healing the sick ''saved from sickness or death),and

usually translated "made whole." Lord 8avo(,from

drowning) or I {Mjrish. Acts xxvii. 20. Al l hope

that they should be saved (from drowning) was

utterly taken away. Except these abide in tbo

ship ye cannot be saved (from drowning;. 1 Tim.

11. 16, saved in child bearing Tho pray«r of faith

shall save the sick, (save from death). John x i .

12, I f he sleep he does well, etc.

8 0 of justification or righteousness. How often

la It uBed to choraoterb.e the tleallngsof God, and

the conduct of Christiana ? Matt . x. 41. He that

reoelveth a righteous man In the name of a right-

eous man , shall receive a righteous man's reward.

I t hecometh ud to fulfill all righteouaneaa, and to

hunger and thlrat after rlghieousnesa, and to be

peraecuted for righteouaneaa aake. By thy words shalt

thou be juatlfiod. Wisdum la justified of her chil-

dren, ye are they which juatlfy youraelvea, etc., are

some of the placea whore this term la used, but not

o f a ainnnr before God.

That Paul la talking about the JuRtifloatlon of a

•inner before God, and that Jatnea ia talking about

the righteouaneaa of tho believer, la evident to any

one who haa eyes to lee. Pau l begioa hia argument

with "every month atopped, and al l the world

i T n o t impute sin.'- Bo Paul is clearly talking

about the forgiveness, and justification ot a smne

beLre God, and he says it is by faith, and without

" n o w what is James talking about. He addresses

hia brethren, " h . s beloved brethren, sending

greeting," and addresses them on matters of Cbri

L dtity. He writ.8 about ,he",)roof of their fauh

chapter i. 3, about asking wisdom of God. but a«fc.

being doers of the word, and not bears only I «

spect to persons * Hea-ken, my beloved

brethren, has not God eh sen the poor, rich in faith

in dispute. Wbat. loth it pr..lit,my brethren if a man

SAY he hath faith, but have not works i Can that

faith save, heal, serve, profit him or any one else.

Now since Go<l justified him by faith alone with

out works, and forty years after juatifled h im by

see then that by works a man is juatified, and not

of a pastor and not those of an evangelist

Bro Hernandez, though not a man of culture or

, , oratorical powers, is remarkable for his consecra-

tion to his work, his uutlring zeal and devotion to

h,« Master's cause. He is the man who came one

niiiht into the church without his coat, haltdrunR,

from the bull fight. After the sermon he

approached Bro. Diaz and said. " Do you think

that man would lovo me ?" " What man.' said

Bro Diaz. " That man you. were talking about

to night," was the reply. Diaz instructed him and cave him a New Testament. From that day ho

was a changed man His wife, to whom he had

been most unkind, seeing the wonderful change

brought about by the little book, used to take it

up and kiss It and say. "Blessed be this little

hook, it has brought my husband back to me." He

,8 giving his life to the Master's work.

Bro. Porta, a man about 40 years of age, was,

before hia conversion, a bad man. He is untu-

tored In common conversation he siMioks Spanish

his nalive tongue, but poorly . but when he rises

l,efore an audience to speak for the Muster, he is

transformed into onolher man. His language is

(rood. He is impassioned, forceful, magnetic. He

moves bis audience as no other man in Cuba does,

except Diaz, and is scarcely inferior to him in bis

power over the masses, l ie loves to preach, and

is doinjj great good.

EDITOK Chriulian Ailvocatc r—On tho ovenlng of May twenty-fourth, 17J«8. .John Wesley be-

camo sallstled that his sins were forgiven, and that ho w a s acccptcd as a child of (jod. 1 bo clr-cunistancoH aro lamlllar t o well- lntormed Method-Ists, and need not bo repeated. The result ol hat miin's couclonsness of personal salvation ant o his recoptlon of the witness of tho bplrlt to that fact Is to-day the w o r d ' s wonder. AVesleyautsm and Methodism were born when Wesiey s heart was "strangely warmed."

Tho above wo copy from one of the Now York organs of tho Mothsdlst Episcopal Church North l i is a feeler for a serond celebration of the birth day or year of Methodism and another million of dollars fur Its propagation. This writer, U will bo ob.<iervcd. dales the birthday of Weslcyanlsm and Methodism from May twenty-fourth, IvIJK, when John Wesley professed conversion, and not the day and year when ho organised the llrst Methodist society. Mark the frank confess ion by a Methodist , endorsed by tho organ o f , t h e Meth odisi Episcopal Church (V) in America. Mt-thod ism is not a divine but a human society, or^ranized by a professedly unconverted man. It Is only one hundred years old. Wc proved all this In tho Great Iron Wheel, and what nnanpoaseablo wrath and pe r secu t ion the statement drew d o w n upon our poor head!

In his dear, coiilldciit wa5', shows the absurdity of many of the co.u lui.lons of superficial expositors as to tho mcHnlng ot some 01 tho parables, notably those of The Wheat and Tares, Tho Hidden Leaven and The Lost Coin. Many 'o f these chapters were written dn i lng the severe and protractetl sicknosS of Dr. Graves, but they have all tho vigor which a well man coul.l put Into them.

In doubt about the question, ponder

well her reasons :—

crowded rooms and lato hours,

which arc Iti jurlous 'o hoaltb and uso

close contact with vory p->rnlclous

corrupt good manners/ ' .3. Danc'ng wou'd require mo to use

and permit freedoms with thO other

sex, ol which I should bo heartily

The Royal Baking P(iwacp is mado from Croain of Tart«r

i'ipe^iftlly wfined and propaied f»r its use by putont processes, by — .A.J jttp* . . .. trUoh the Twtrato of Limo is totally eliminated.

This highly important result ha» beon altainod only with

great oaro, Ikbor and oxponso. la money alono a quarter of

miliioa dollars has boon invested in patents, machinery and ap-

pliances by which the crude Oroam of Tartar, being procurtMl

dirocfc from the wine districts of Europe, and subjected in this

oountiy to these exclusive proce.ssos, is rendered entirely free,

not only from the objectionable Tartrate of Lime, but from'

Other foreign substances.

Tllis adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing Royal

Bolting Powder j but, as all its otl.or iiigrodiejjts are selected

and prepared with the same precise care and regardless (jf labor

or expense, an article is produced that Ls entirely free from any

extraneous substance and chemically pure in all respects.

No lime, earth, alum or impurity of any kind can, by inad-

vertence or by the use of adulterated articles or otherwise, bo

introduced "into the "Royal ," and it contains no ingredients

except those certified by the most eminent chemists necessary

to make a pure, wholesome and perfcct baking powder.

V I t costs more to manufacture the Uoyd Baking Powder

^thaa any other, but it is, as shown by chemical analysis, the

0 % absolutely pure Baking Powder nmde.

Eoyal is the only Baking Powder made.that is free from

A TBANBLATIOS BY KKV. H. F. SJUm, I>, I).

SE V E R A L yearsBi'ue^, a young man in a town

io Germany, wh')Bo pitiabio appertrance would

have entitled hiip, m modern parlance, to the

namo of tramp, wsh showu into a minister's study,

" W h a t e a n l d o for you, uiy friend f taid the

aged preaehe.r,a8 he looked up from his newspaper.

"You seem to be weary, pray sit 'down." "1

thank you," said theyouug man. Kindly accepting

the chair that waa offered him. " I h a v o run ray

shoes through to the ground going round seekiti^

for work. I have siwnt every cent of my money ;

and, as I am a total stranger in this place, I

thought perhaps you might tell mo of Rome one

witb whom 1 eould find employment. I shnll be

glad to do anything, for I am almost in despair. I

never thought that a young man fo young and

strong as I am eould ho brought so low." "A re you

hungry?" said the minister. "No , sir, I b?ggpd

some bread of an old lady, ami I split some wood

for her in return ; hut I was so weary I could

scarof ly hold the axe." " D o you put y(tur trust

in God?" " I f I did not, sir, 1 shouI<i have Iwen

dead long ago. I am a Cliristiau, and when I was

at home I was a Sabbath-school teacher." "Have

you labored for the salvation of others on your

travels?" asked the preacher, as he surveyed tho

young man over his spectiicles. " N o sir, not ex

actly. I thought of nothing hut iny old father

and mother, and how I shciuld like to find work.

But I trusted in Qod." "Tiien hear what is writ-

ten in the Scriptures," said the minister, as he

took his Bible and turned over tlio leaves. "Truat

in the Lord and do g )i)d." D > y )u hsiieve that ?

Have you ever read these wohIb ? "They sound

natural to mo. Anyway, I believe what you say."

"Then you can see whero your fault lies. You

have olwyetl (uily half the oomiiiainl; vftu have

trusted In God, but forgotten to iId gnod. As

you want to find work, take tiiic ixiudlo of tracts,

and when you have flistributed ihem all, come

tonaeagain." " I ehnil he mon linp|iy to do it,

hut will you be so good as to toll me to what

people I must give them ?" "No , tho Lord will

direct you, if you are in earnest in doing your

duty," said the old man smiling, and pressing

warmly the young man's hnnd.

With a lighter heart the young man went out

into the street, and gave many of tho tracts to

children whom he met on their way to school.

Some of them hesitated to rcceive the tracts when

they observed bin tattered appearance, but his

kind words and loving Hinile soon overcame their

reluctance, and they accepted all ho offured them.

He raw an aged man standing in front of n shoe

store, and selecting from his packogo "The VVay

to God," lie off.-rtd it to tiie man saying. " W i l l you

read this? My aged father likes it much " The

old man looked first at the tract, then at the giver.

"Young man, it seems to me you would do better

to spend your money for ahoes than Huch things

aa these." They were given mo to distribute when

1 asked for work," ho answered courteously.

"Then , " the old man in a surly way replied, "why

did yon not mther ask mo for work?" " I would

hftve done 10, but you reminded me ao muoh of

njr old fltther who i i lying on a alok bed three

hundred miles away from this, that inatead of i t

offered you the tract which he used to love ao

much."

H e would have gone on farther, bu t the old

man stopped him and said, "Come into the ahop,

my young friend, and find a palrofahoea that fit

you; I will trust the Lord for the pay . " D u m b

with anoazemeat, the young man did as he was bid

den. Shoes that fitted him were aeon found in the

shop, and after expresaiiig his warmest thanka, he

went on his way. He asked for work at varioua

k iud i of business, left behind a tract everywhere,

and was everywhere treated with kindness.

The bundle was not yet exhausted and he began

to go to some beautiful private dwellings. I n one

of them he found a sick old lady bitting under

tree. Courteoui>Iy drawing off hia shabby hat, he

selected from his package "L igh t at Eventide,

laid it iu her lap and proceeded on his way. Bu i

the old lady, with her- feeble voice, called him

back, and when hs stood before her, she said,

should like to know bow so poor a man as you

seem to be comes to be employed in distributin

tracts? Wi l l you tell an old ladjr?" W i t h un

covered head he told tiia story. When he came to

the shoes, he could scarcely refrain from weeping

"May I give you some clothes once belouging to

my son who died some time ago? They will fit you

and tbey are nearly new." Gladly the young man

accompanied her into the house where he was

shown into a chancber, and a whole suit lay before

him, including even stockings and handk rchiefs

He w as left alone to array himself anew from

head to foot, and when he stood before his bene-

factress, endowed with new courage, he said, " I n

those old clothes*! went about seeking employ

ment iu the lowest services ; now I will go every

whore with my tracts, even to the mayor's."

Wi th the last tract remaining, ho entered

great carpet store and courteously laid on the

•le.ok of tho proprietor, the tract " W h a t is Eter-

nity ?" What is time, rather," said the gentie^

man. "Tha t seems to me more imjiortant at this

moment. I have little time to day. " " I am

carpet weaver," said the young man, " a nd I am

looking for work." "Then take that empty berth

and go to work, and show what you can do and

will pay you."

At evening he returned to his old friend, the

minister. "Pardon me," said the minister, not

exactly recognizing him. " O h , really, you are the

young man who called I You have done as well • s

when you only trusted in God, haven't you f

know the Lord would keep his promise." Upon

this be led the young man, in his new suit, into

the study again, saying, "Now ait down and tell

me all, and then we will sup together."

"Trust in the Lord and do good, so shalt thou

dwell in the land, and verily thou ihalt be fed."

There are two things prescribed in the text as du-

ties, The promise isattaehecl'to the combined ful-

fillment.

A man was confined many yean In a dungeon.

There was but oneapertnre in the wa l l . ??^^

that the sunbeams came a few minu tw aiak*

ing a bright spot on the opposite aide o f tfae imU^

Often the lonely man looked upon Ifaat Uttia patch

of sunshine. A purpose to improve i t grew wltit"

in his soul. Groping on the floor o f his otiil he

found a nail and stone, and with tbfwe rude im-

plements he set to work on the white portion of the

wall, for a few minutes each day dar ing w b i ^

was illuminated, unti l he succeeded in b r i n g i n g '

out upon it a rude sculpture of Christ upon tht f i ' ^ i

TO W H A T E V E R part o f the histoiy ol* Qod't

is always to bring them into a podtion of^ <fo|Mn-

that such a relation is alone becoming to as, or

.worthy of the Biost High. The fleah, however,^

U always opposed to this; but the nKenera t ^ soul

readily acquiesces in the reasonableness of acltnowl> #

edging its dependence upon him who h a ^
