Sunday School. LESSON XI!!.â€"SEPT. 26, 1909. Temperance Lesson.â€"I Cor. 10;: 24â€"33. Commentary.â€"In verses 14â€"22 Paul reâ€" sumes the discussion from chapter 8, 13 tMilf the eating of meats which had been offered in sacrifice to idois. In the le«son before us we have some practical directions on this subject, which every Christian would do well to carefully heed. In applying the lesson to the teimâ€" perance question it will be necessary to wC F giln uce 5U ketuF s imsist upon the importance of total ab stinence and prohibition. L.

Asking question~â€"The Jews were vexed . wi inuumerable seruples with respect to th tvs. 23â€"30) PUP uP PEWmy TV T POCOCC ITHC 14 22 the apostle soeverely rebukes the practise of eating at feasts in heathen temples, because this was one part of idolatrous worship. If a pagan friend invites a Christian to his home to dine. he should eat what is set before him without vexing his host with questions about his food. But there is nothing here commanded which would require a cnol to eat or drink that which is rmful. 28. Say unto youâ€"That is, it one of your lvfluw guests should disâ€" play nflnp{m of con=sience, or a heathen should be likely to draw the inference that you approved of idol worship, this nltogether alters the case. You are no longer simply eating with thankfulness the food set before you as the gift of CGod, but the question of idolatrous worâ€" ship is now introduced. Your conduct may lead another to suppose that you I 1 8. ie‘ k e eP e ore c s CPT t regarded participation in the worship of idols as permissible to a Christian.â€"â€" Cam. Bib. 20. For why, eteâ€"This is a little obscure. The meaning seems to be that "no man has a right to interfere with the liberty enjoyed by another. eave so far as his own conscience and conscientious convictions are likely to be affected thereby." We must guard the point of yielding to another‘s conscience, for we may by obeying a man‘s false conscience confirm his selfâ€"conceit, or establish a false morality. 30. If I b; 'r;re»â€"“ll J partake with thankfulness." â€"â€"R. V. 1Hi. The correct rule of conduct (vs. 31 33). DJ 31. Eat or drinkâ€""The glory of God i sto be the end of all our actions. In themselves eating and drinking _ are things indifferent, but there are cireumâ€" stances in which they may be matters of the highest importance. In our oyn day, for instance, the question of using or abstaining from intoxicating liquors is one which ought to be dealt with on the same principles which Paul has laid down in this chapter. Such a ques tion should beâ€"decided on one ground alone, namely, whether by using them. or abstaining from them we shall best promote the glory of God." Glory of Godâ€"To live to CGod‘s glory should be the high aim of every individual. "This is a sufficient rule to regulate _ every wan‘s conscience and practise on all inâ€" different things where there are no exâ€" press _ commands or prohibitions." â€" Clarke. 32. Give none offenceâ€"See R. V. "Though you may be no better or worse for eating meat or not eating, yet if your conduct injures others and leads them into sin you should abstain entirely. It is far more important that your brother should not be led into sin than that you should partake of meat which you acknowledge is in itself of no importance." This is a general prinâ€" viple which should rf’s\:b\to Christian ks L e w )/ Mer mescreregnmr rn';nluct at all times. Though you are delivered from superstitious notions, it is contrary to the spirit of love to hinâ€" det another who is not yet so far enâ€" lightened. You should not be a stumbâ€" ling blockâ€"a means of confusion which might lead to the overthrow of faith. Jewsâ€""The apostle ever avoided ofâ€" fense to his kinsmen after the flesh." C»ntilesâ€""Crossing none of their prejuâ€" dices where God‘s law does not require it." _ Please all menâ€"He did this so far a« he could righteously. May be savedâ€"â€" His main object was to seek the salvaâ€" tiomn of all men. This was the end in view. Salvation enables men to set aside their own ways in order to uplift another. Strife over nonâ€"essentials deâ€" stroys rather than builds up the work of God. s > oC h Temperance Instruction.â€" During the past few years there has been a great revolution in the medical world in reâ€" gard to the use of alcohol. Formerly it was used in all hospitals and for almost every disease. Occasionally a physician would abandon its use, as did the reâ€" nowned Dr. Nathan S. Davis, but this was exceptional. In 1873 a temperance hospital was founded in London, which at first used aleohol only _ in extreme cases and afterward abandoned it altoâ€" gether. The records of the London Temâ€" perance Hospital show that in 15,224 cases under care during _ twentyâ€"five years the mortality has been less than seven per cent.â€"very much less than in any hospital in London where aleohol is used. Recently a number of temperâ€" ance hospitals _ have been established, with the same remarkable results; and i nhospitals where alcohol is still used, the amount used is amail _ compared with the amount used a few years ago. Dr. Rogers, one of Chicago‘s foremost of idol saett o sale in th abâ€" a 00 N Th« th aurgeons, Ain h culd â€"stntmast Ahccntoticaiti se . F about a thousand cases in the Farnces Willard Hospital without alcohol and without losing a single patient from "shock," that terror of surgeons, in deâ€" fence against which many physicians have believed alcohol was necessary. It has been proved that the death rate in fever and pneumonia is very much less when aleohol is not administered. _ WWe EAREbenatt mW CCC PeC S Medical men _ everywhere . recognize that abstainers have greater power to resist disease, withstand contagion and recover from wounds than have nonâ€"abâ€" stainers. The chief cause of this is the paralyzing effect of aleohol upon the | white blood corpuscles. These white corâ€" puscles are the scavengers of the body. They seem to scent all harmful germs; and, pushing through the linings of the blood vessels, they envelop them or "eat them up." Alcohol paralyzes these corâ€" puscles and diminishes their â€" number, with the result that the germs multiply unchecked, secrete their poisons, and claim their subject as an easy vietim. Some time ago one of th# professors of Rush Medical College gave two rabbits pneumonia â€" by â€" injecting pneumonia germs in them, and in one a little aleoâ€" hol was injected. The rabbit with the aleohol in its system died, while the other recovered. A subsequent examinâ€" ation under the microscope of the blood of each showed that in the rabbit in which the aleohol had been injected, the white corpuscles contained no _ germs, and had_evidently been paralyzed, while the white corpuscles of the other rabbit were literally full of them, as many &8 twenty germs being found in one corâ€" puscle. This is a vivid iustration of what takes place in a drinker. His deâ€" creased vitality and resisting power canâ€" not be wondered at in the light of such facts. Even moderate drinkers play the game of life with a great handicap. The clear eye, the steady nerve, the keen percepâ€" tion that indicate a man at his best are not his to enjoy. HMe has started on the road to woes and sorrows.â€"B. L. 0. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. Take Heed. t come a SEAmamAettties C C s wo weak. A child lay dying. Her fr ther had struck her a blow on the spine while insane from the influence of rum. Among those who gathered by her bedâ€" side in the excitement was the rumseller who had dealt out the poison to the father, who Joved his child. He drew near the deathâ€"bed and heard a watcher, stroking the chidi‘s beautiful face, say, "That blow killed her." The ehild caught the whisper, and, raising her eyes to the rumseller‘s face, said, "You did it," and died. Take heed, young fathors and mothâ€" ers, lest you, taking an occasional glass, become a stumblingâ€"block to the weak, and your children inherit an appetite they ‘cannot control, _A gentleman was tho father of a family of healthy, intelâ€" ligent children.

They are likely to remain high of activity in railroad, mining and land operations continue during the winter as indications now would signify. . 6 The largest part of our beans are grown in Kent County. The crop this year promises to be as good as the avcrage. The potato crop has a checkered hisâ€" tory «.1s year,. Ontario suffered from a wet spring and dry summer. _ Added to this, bugs were _ most persevering. Consequently, the potato yield of Onâ€" tario is likely to be much below the average. e But Ontario does not supply her own tables, hzaving to import _ quantities from the States and from New Brunsâ€" wick. _ While the crop in the Maritime Provinces is reported fair, the crop on the whole through the United States is much boiow the average. _ Late potaâ€" toes are, in many cases, a total failâ€" ure. @ It begins to look now as if the marâ€" ket for really choice apples will be good. _ The damage in many orchards in the Iroquois Valley, that is the district between Toronto and Belleville, caused by the aphis in sucking the juice of the carlyâ€"formed apple, and thus causing them to dwarf and deform, will seriousâ€" ly interfere with good samples. Apple picking of the earlier sorts has comâ€" menced, and this week big gangs have gone into the Georgian Bay section. Prices by buyers are ranging from $1 up. R. Puckerin of Ontario county, who has a very choice small orchard, has sold his for $1.56 per barrel. Fred Ciibson, of the same county, reports a sale of apples at $1.00 per barrel for firsts and seconds, the buyers to tals'c ETTE ET c o uels! 1 all.

Last year the crop of wheat was officially placed at 140,000,â€" 00 bushels, rye 376,000,000 bushels, oats 6353,000,000 bushels. The movement of new wheat is slowly increasing. Hungaryâ€"Plowing for the new crop is in active progress, and it is expected that there will be an increase in the acreage. The corn crop is officially placâ€" ed at 152,000,000 bushels. Last year the crop was officially given at 138,000,000 bushels. PBR Roumaniaâ€"General rain is _ needed. Harvesting â€" indications . for both wheat and corn continue disappointing.
