An Attempt to Prove TbatCbritt DrankWIae That Had tbe Al coliollc Amons Other Proper lira, ad Tnat He Did Mot Be lieve Brlnhlua: It Was Wrong, Editor The Citizen: "It is claimed that Christ made wine for the guests at the wedding in Cana to recognize a cus tom that was innocent. It is claimed that this wine was as other intoxicat ing!" So said an eminent divine in a sermon recently delivered at Asheville. "It was railed 'good,' not in the sense in which wine is called good today, but in the senst that it was harmless. The wine made by the ' Savior was the wine which God could commend the pare juice of the grape." This is too radical an assertion to stand alone; it requires supportive evi dence to prove it.

Wine can be made also from Ihe juice of currants, elderberries, gooseberries, strawberries, and from the rhubarb plant. The ancient Jews made wine from oomeeranates. But the word wine is never appuea to any oi mew products unless the juice has Srst been fermented. The term wine, or its equiv alent, is used the world over to mean the fermented luice of fruits. During the process of fermentation, the sugar contained in the juice, is gradually converted into alcohol. When that has been accomplished the vinous fermenta tion ceases, and the result is wine, Hence, it follows, that all wines are alcoholic to a greater or less degre according to the quality of sugar con tained in the grapes and must necessa rily be. more or less intoxicating; it being only a question of quantity drunk. If what the Rabbis assert is true, that. during the feast of the Passover, fer mented drinks were prohibited, then we must inler that the Jews posessed the art of preserving the "must" (fresh juke) of the crraDC in an unfermented condition because the Passover occurred several months after the vintage season. This could have been done then, as it is some times done now, by boiling the must, and so destroying the germs of ferment with which it abounds. Thcrecan be no doubt that the drink used ut the Last Sunoer was the product of the crape, because Christ at the time designated it as "the fruit of the vine." Ihe lact is significant, (and may be corroborative evidence, that it was fermented grape juice) that, in no account we have ol the Last Suooer. is this drink called wine. If nnlermented crape iuice was used by the ancient lews at all, it roust have been especially prepared for and used only during this season of the Passover. It could not have entered into commerce, nor have been generally used as a die- tarv article, as was the case with wine because we can find no mention made oi it in the Bible. Being only a layman, we do not claim a thorough acquaintance with the Book, and it is possible we are mistaken: if so. we best to be set aright. On the contrary, both the Old and the New Testaments abound in allusions to wine (the fermented juice of the grape) heranse it is evervwhere mentioned in its stimulative or alcoholic sense; and it is invariably called wine. 'Com shall make the vouncr men cheerful, and new wine the maids." Zech. 9: 17. "Give wine unto those that be of heavv heart. Let him drink were as famoui for the excellence of their wines as are the vineyards oi Burgundy and of the Medoc, in France, today. Wine was both plentiful and cheap: was considered one of the necessities of life; it entered into the list of dietary articles at that time, just as it docs today in France and parts ot Uermany. And witn corn ana wine nave i sus tained him." Gen. 27: 37. Corn, wine and oil were the three great staples of Palestine, and are mentioned together evervwhere throughout the Old Testa ment. "That 1 will eive you the rain of your land in bis due seasonjthe brst rain and the latter rain, that tnou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil." Ueut. li: X. " 1 nou mayest not eat within the gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of toy oil." Deut 12:17. "And thou sbalt eat betore trie Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe or tbv corn, ol tor wine, and ot tny on Dent. 14: 23". "Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land. a land of corn and wine, a land ot Dread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey." Zd Kines. id: da. These three products constituted tbe chief sources of wealth of the country. Storehouses were constructed especially for their safe keeping. "Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil." 2d Chron. 32: 28. If bread was the staff of life among- the people of Palestine, wine and oil were no less its props. Wine was every wnere taken with meals, for. being cheap, it was within reach of the poor equally with the rich, and was not an expensive luxury as with us. It was used as milk and coffee and tea are with us. All of these facts combined, render it bierhlv orobable that Christ, in this res pect, did not differ from the majority of his people. Indeed, his own words go to show that He did drink wine. "But I sav unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine." Math., 26-29. Verity I say unto you, I will drink no mote of the fruit of tbe vine. Mark, 14-25. These two accounts differ as to the precise words Our Saviour used, but the meaning is essentially tbe same. The expression ' bencetortit" ana "no more." both imply that He bad previously drank wine. If such were not the case, then they are meaningless. Aerain. here are Christ s oven words The Son of Man came eating and artnlt- me. and tbev say, behold a man glutton ous and a winebibber." Math.. 11-19 'This would eo to prove two things nrst, tnai vnrisi naa a ncauny appetite, and considered wine both necessary and agreeable; and. secondly, that there were extremists in those days, as well as now for. who can beleve that t-brist was either a iclutton or a wine-bibber ? Taking all these things into consiaera tion, we consider ourself warranted in our belief, that Christ drank wine: that he made good, honest wine at tbat wed dinsr in Cana. and not crape mice: ttiat it possessed all the properties including alcoholic of a eenuine wine; that it was as harmless as any other wine when taken in moderate quantity; that it would have produced intoxication as any other wine will when taken in ex cessive Quantity: and. finally tbat. had Christ believed that the drinking ot wine was wrong, be not only would not nave drunk it himself, but would never have made it for others.

West assisted him to bed and he apparentlv went to sleep, but soon after died. Jotmta E. Kesss. Senator John E. Kenna, of West Vir ginia, died at three o'clock this morning of heart disease, from which he had been for some years an acute sufferer, so much so that for a long time be had been com pelled to abandon his duties as Senator, and to forego all mental exertion. Two summers ago, with a view of diverting his mind from his physical ailments. he established an amateur boat builder's shop and busied himself in constructing boats. He partially recovered and resumed his seat in the Senate and made one speech tbat was re markable, both tor its length and its vieor. but soon suffered a relapse from which he never rallied. His sufferings during the last few months of bis life were so poignant tbat to himself as well as to his family, death must have been looked noon as almost welcome.

Is it all probable tbat a com- nanv of wine-drinkers, as tbey must have been at this festival, would have exclaimed that the better wine had been withheld until the last, if it had not been wine ? Its excellence was so pronounced, that the departure from . the usual cus tom of serving the best wine first, was commented on.' "It was called 'good,' not in tbe sense in which wine is called good today, but in the sense that it was harmless." From our point of view, it is highly improbable that a wine-drinker of eigh teen centuries ago. would classify wine as good or bad. from a moral stand Doint. anv more than he of today. A good wine should contain the desirable qualities of flavor, bouquet, smoothness, delicacy and sufficient alcohol to give it orooer strength or "body." A bad wine is lacking in some or all of these tials. That these qualities were as easily detected and appreciated by tbe wine connoisseur of then as now, can hardly be doubted. If by tbe word "harmless," it was meant that tbe wine contained no alco hol, then we maintain that Christ did not make wine, but unfermented grape- juice, and that the translators of the Bible nave used the wrong word, we also contend that the astonishment of tbe guests, was, under tbe circumstances. perfectly natural, and not ascribable to tbe excellence of the wine, but the shock caused by having to dnnk sweet, unfer mented grape-juice after wine. One can readily fancy that the lestival came to an abrupt and speedy close. "Tbe wine made by the Savior was tbe wine which God could commend the pure juice of the grape." Wine that is, pure wine is tbe pure juice of the grape. Tbe process of fer mentation does not in the least ettect its parity. So long as no foreign substance nothing else than that which belongs to tbe grape is added, tbe wine most necessarily be pure. That Christ drank wine, there can be no doubt. It was the universal custom among tbe Israelites. The vineyards of Palestine were extensive, and the grape was cultivated everywhere. Some of these vineyards, those of Lebanon, county in Kentucky two years ago The Chief communicated with Chief of Police Smith at Burnsides, Ky., where the killing is said to have occurred, and yesterday afternoon received a dispatch from the chief which said : "Must be as umed name.
