-The True Meaning of Temperance
The occasion Of this teaching wts
the uncertainty as to the right atti
tude toward "things sacrificed untol
Idols." This oroblem was most vitart
while the Christians were lb the midst
of the heathen, and with some modl-1
flea thms no less vital still. In rain-!
gllng with society man perplexing
questions arise, such as amusements,
way of spending Sunday, enjoyment
of luxuries, owning stock In certain
corporations, etc. Our lesson contains
princliiles adequate for our guidance
In all these problems.
It was customary to divide the an
Imnl offei-ed in sacrifice into three
parts. Out part was consumed on
the altar, another part was given to
the prfest, and the third part was
kept by the party bringing the offer
ing. The priest's part was frequently
sold in the markets. The part which
the offerer kept was sometimes eaten
at Borne and sometimes In the court
.if ,the temple. The Christian who
bought meat in the market was liable
to get niear1 which had been dedicated
to the idol god. Then, too, one would
lie invited to eat socially at the table
of someone who had kept his portion
of his offering and now .set it before
his guests. Some with adeqnate
knowledge had no scruples about It;
others with less knowledge thought It
sinful. The one who lias knowledge
should bear with the weak one, and at
the same time should seek to teach hie
brother the truth -so as to set him free
from bondage , of superstition. The
glory of God should control In all
things.
I. . "All Things Are Lawful for Ma
v. 28).
This declaration la limited, of
course, by things which are right In
themselves It la not true that
Christian Is free to do those things
which are wrong. The Christian csn
ooly Indulge In "lawful things" aa
they are expedient and unto edifica
tion. As Indlviuua' Christians we
have liberty tado many things which
because of gielr influence on our fel
low Christians we should abstain
from.
Even with one's self that whleh Is not
edifying should be ruled out.
II. "Let No Man Seek Hie Own"
(v. 24).
The Christian Is under the control
of love. The controlling principle of
love Is unselfishness. The one domi
nated by love conatdivs tb other's in
terests rather than his own.
III. "Eat the Food Set Before You"
vv. 28;80).
It Is' not Incumbent npon ns to be
on the hunt fpr occasions of the con
science either of ourselves or others.
Rxercise your freedom In the enjoy
ment of all right tilings which the
Lord places before you, but as soon
asjt is brought to your attention that
certain things are to the driven
tage of others, you should desi ; tlmt
la, exercise self-control.
IV. "Do All tq tha Glory of God"
lv,' 31).
Tlla Is the b-rnnd nnd supreme rule
of, life for the ciiristtan. xne unns
tlnn is not nt liberty to do tint upon1
whiclrhe could not ask the Messing of
God. In our eating, employ
merits and plensures, we, should hav
as bur transcendent nlta God's glory
How conld one ask God's blessing up
on the intoxicating can. dancing, cam
btiftgj theatergoing, Sunday ilesecra-i
Hon, luxurious extravagance, etc?
V. "dive No Occasion for Anyone to
Stumble" (v. 32).
We should so live tlmt no one' can
ever say that we have been the occa
sion of their downfall.
VI. Follow tha Example of Jeeua
Christ (11:1).
Christ through love gave up all fer
tile sake of others. He did not please
himself. Everyone, therefore, wio- la
a Christ'an "bould Imitate Him.
VII. Tha Christian's Body la the
Temple of the Holy Ghost (3:16, 17).
This great truth is true of the
Church as ft body, but that whleh Is
true of the -body Is true of the Indi
vidual composing the body; so the
point in this Scripture is the' serious-'
consequence of defiling tic tody.
