of the who live intemperately jl17 here we have god pronouncing six woes upon his chosen people because of their sins vs 811 the first woe is pronounced upon the greedy- monopolist verse 8 gives a very graphic picture of strange shadows in the petroleumproducing regions of california there are many large ponds filled with oll after being pumped from the earth the petroleum la allowed to flow into depressions on the surface where it remains for some time the ponds of oil are known as sump boles one curious feature about sump holes of reflecting wnat are known as freak shadows if the sun is shining brightly and a person stands for a few moments on the margin of a sump hole so that his shadow falls an the surface of the petroleum and be then quickly changes his position the dim shadow remains just where it was origin ally cast many exueiliiients hs iw made with these freak shadows and always the jesuit is the same they are ex plained in this way under the influence of the hot sun gas is continually being generated down in the body of the petroleum which rises to the surface in the form of millions of minute bubbles so very small are these bubbles that they re scarcely visible to the naked eye when they reach hie top the bubbles break and the gas is liberated passing ajiy- into the air both gas and bubbles are wry sensitive to changes of tempera ture even if a mans body comes bef tween them and the bright sun they are affected the casting of the shadow means a lowering of the temperature and this alters the behavior of the bubbles thus changing the appearance of the surface of the petroleum at this particular point when the body moves the shadow remains for a while until the suns rays have had a chance to warm up that spot and once more bring it to a uniform temperature with the rest of the pond a large class among us today count themselves happy but jehovah pronounces woes upon them more and more as the years go by will tills seem to be true eyen as it came to pass in the olden times and in thev history ofj the chosen people in faroff jerusalem the second woe is pronounced upon those who live chiefly for the grat- dflcathon of appetite the description of the drunkard given us in v 11 exactly fits him in our own day and time the rising sun sees the wretched victim of inordinate drinking up and out and searching for some place open in violation of the law or the land but welcomed by the blbbler as a place where his burning thirst may be slaked and his quivering nerves steadied but he is not only up early he will tarry over his drinking till day be done and gone and far on into the succeeding night he is burning the candle of his life at both ends and very soon that candle will be quite burned out god pronounces woe upon every such an one and the woe never fails to fall it is a significant fact that after speaking in general terms of the ruin of judah vs 17 the writer should make such frequent references to drunkenness it appears fairly clear that the prophet isaiah as well as other prophets considered judahs fall and isreals as due largely to intemperance see also ch 28 1 78 hos 7 5 6 the effect of wine is to inflame it inflames the stomach the eyes the blood the brain- it prompts the wildest and fiercest passions of the soul it un dies the fires of hell the man that fools with wine is fooling wtth a fire that has caused the costliest conflagrations the world has ever known in v 12 we have pictured the veneering of art refinement with which some armkersektqvex their beastliness music is constantly jrctibutedjtobecmnecithe servitor o peter 3 3 4 such mockery of gods word and gods judgments is common among those given to the intemperate use of liquor the fourth woe is upon those who call evil good and good evil that put darkness for light and light for dark ness this procedure displays a de termination in the pursuit and committal of sin that is well nigb hopeless mat 12 12 31 this complete perversion of the moral judgment is quite common in the instance of those who indulge in the use of liquor the fifth warning is one greatly needed in our own day v 21 cf prov 26 l2 ro 1 22 no man is more likely to be wise in his own eyes than the drinking man he laughs at all warnings too enlarges- volubly on bis ability at any given time he should so desire to give up the use of liquor once and forever yet he never arrives at such a place and remains where be is and wnat he is a slave to habit and strong drink the final woe is pronounced upon those who pride themselves in the amount of wine they can consume of the number tat drinks they can swallow and walk away with the inspired prophet says that this is no accomplish ment to be proud of but rather one of which a man should be as god says woeunto themand all history what is your specialty most people are specialists you will notice that the people who find fault do very little else the whinners always find something to complain about and noser have time or inclination for- any thing else the people who are always ready to help do very little gnunblig nrrarrlclmg others you are a specialist of some sort and the interesting question iswhat is your specialty do you specialize in grouchy remarks so that your entry into a group has much the same effect as the arrival of a thunderstorm or do you specialize in scattirng criticism until your acquaint ances are afraid to turn their heads for fear of what you may find to say why not since you must have a specialty choose something that will make you welcome

serious evils of the use of strong drink is that it leads men to forget god job 34 24- 27 ps 28 5 9 17 the consequence of intemperance and forgetting god was th his p h infa v 13 the wbrld today is full of people who have gone into degrading and painful captivity through the same two causes forgetfulness of god it might have been supposed that in a tay where the sale of liquor is pro hibited that a lesson of this sort is notihw more than a superflous gesture nothing could be further from the fact those who have the interest of young people at heart and who will go to the trouble of examining for themselves the presentday state of society are not likely to stumble into such a false position as all this implies liquor is everywhere especially in large centres of popula tion it la circulated clandestinely in al most every avenue of life and it is not overstating the facts of the case to de clare that never since organized lessons were first begun to be taught in sunday schools has there been a time when our sunday school scholars need to be warned against the damnable evil of strong drink as at this hour the next result of judahs intemperance was the hell shepl the underworld enlarged her desire and opened her mouth without measure hell yawns wide yet be cause of intemperance and the selfglory of the multitude with all its pomp and he that rejoices among us is for ever descending into it all classes are brought down by his sin v 15 not only the insignificant and contemptible are brought low but even the great and lofty are humbled to the dust by reason of it in the midst of all this humbling however jehovah of hosts lsexaltedt he is exalted by the judgment he brings upon the offenders of ez 28 22 rev 15 3 4 as heis the hojyone rv his holiness shall be made manifest in the righteous judgment he brings upon offenders as the final result of judahs intemperance and forgetfulness of god all the splendid estates and palaces of judah were to become waste and the- feedingplace of wandering bands this has been literally fulfilled and there is real danger that the present splendor of our own land shall become tarnished and even become a feedingplace of wandering derelicts from similar causes we have need to sustain uiifalling un sleeping vigilance in regard to the evils of intemperance ii the woe of those who give themselves to sin 1823 the third woe is pronounced over those who are so thoroughly given over to sin that they tug away at it to see how much they cjaj draw v 18vthe use of wine leads to this devotion to iniquity in their enthusiasm for sin- they mock at god and his word and say let god hurry up with his judgments and let him hasten his works that we may actually see them and not merely hear them let the purposes of the holy one of israel cf which we have beard so much actually come to pass v 19 cf jer 17 15 2 and personal phrase experience echoes the the thrift habit five million children are now making weekly deposits in school savings banks and they have to their credit fifty million dollars whioh is drawing interest fifty million dollars is a tidy little sum but that is unimportant compared with the fact that five anilhon scfeool children are learning theuiabit of thrift to be a good spender has been the ambition of too many young people it is easy to see how that false idea has led to dishonesty either in the
