When I was asked, last mid-summer,
to preach the annual sermon before
this convention. I readily consented,
feeling it an honor to serve, a society
with a record so noble, and also believ
ing it a privilege to speak, once more
to a Raleigh audience on' temperance
and against the awful wickedness of
the liquor traffic.

apostle: -"Drink no
longer water but use a little wine for
thy stomach's sake and thine often
infirmities." (Timothy, 5:23).
Proverbs, Habakkuk, and Paul's
letter are all of equal authority as
parts of the canonical scriptures. If,
therefore, Saint Paul is approved in his
use of wine medically, Habakkuk in
his woe upoii the drunkard maker, and
Solomon in his declaration of wine and
Strong drink being devilish in purpose,
must likewise be approved. It is both
ludicious and impious to hear men
who rake in the dollars in the work of
making drunkards, or who gozzle down i
ardent spirits, quote Paul as if the Bi-
ble defends their conduct. i
When the Sacred Volume is opened, I
not to make it speak, but to let it I
speak, on this subject, three things
seem to be clear. First, the book de
clares the drunkard to be a criminal.
According to the Mosaic requirement
the man of this incorrigible habit was
stoned to death. (Deut, 21:2021). The
new testament classifies the drunkard
with the fornicator, idolator, covetous,
raijer, and extortioner, (Cor. 5:11); and
then declaims that all such cannot en
ter the kingdom of God,. (1 Cor. 6:10).
In these days of wide-open sympathy
' the drunkard is pittied, petted aijd
apologized for, but God's great law
giver and apostle both put , him in 'the
worst class of law-breakers. Think
you is the comparison of the 20th cen
tury superior to that of God's Holy
Word? ' " i
In the second place the Bible declares
the drunkard-maker to be a criminal,
(Habakkuk, 2:15).
The 3rd point that seems to be clear,
Is that the Inspired Word, in its letter
not in Its spirit, commends, but does
not command, total abstinence. True
there are staements that look as if to
tal abstinence were meant. That great
passage ln Proverbs. (23:29-32).
i'L.ook not upon the wine, seems to
carry us a long way into this ultra
principle oftemperance. In his Ro
mans, Paul leases total abstinence on
expediency, (14:21). Of the nine fruitF
of the spirit in the fifth of Galatian?
temperance Is th4 last mentioned. In
Peter's array of glorious virtues, tem
jo suiJioop s.in'Bdlna: -auo bj aauTueV
expediency exhorts to abstinence onl
under certain circumstances it is n'
all absolute command. I think-it no'
wise to declare that "temperance," a
fruit of the Holy Spirit, or a Chris
tian virtue,' 'means total abstinenc
Irom wine. To dogmatize is- someti
not the source of great strength. Th
Nazarlte institution imposed total ah
itinence only during the time of the
row, and was not "a life-long obligation.
The RechabiteSidld not belong to the
chosen people and their principle of
abstinence never was Imposed upon the
Israelites. The priests were required to
abstain from wine only during the
time of active service; when off duty
they could drink. During" the wilder
ness journey of forty jiears the tribes
of Israel were total abstainers from
necessity, not from command, (Deut
29:5,6). In the long ages of Israel's
dwelling in the Promised Land, wine
-was the national beverage, used in the
family and on all festal oocaslons. It
even came to be used by the bards
and prophets as a beautiful figure of
God's Word, (Isaiah, 55:1,2). Jesus
made wine for a sumptuous occasion
(John, 2:111). The two-wine theory
of the Bible, is not sustained by the
best scholarship. r
Taking In, therefore the whole sur
vey of the case, this seems to be as'
. far as the letter of the Bible would
lead us: Total abstinence commended,
but not actually commanded.
And, now, as they would say in a
naval engagement, tbe decks .of our

ship are cleared and we are ready for
action. This is what, thus far, we have
seen, the Bible making the .drunkard

comes irom me urees name 01. iin- ,
pomegranate beverage. It is a notable ;
fact, and also a commentary oh the
spirit of th-e Bible as a modern Book,
that distilled liquors were unknown
until eleven hundred years after th&
time that Jesus made wine in Galilee.
That is, whiskey, brandy, rum, gin,
and such like intoxicants were not
known to mankind till the beginning of
the Twelfth Century, There was
drunkenness from the beginning, for
all fruit gases ..will develop alcohol
when exposed to the atmosphere; but
alcohol did not actually become sa-
tanic, sweeping the nations from off
their feet of drunkenness till a thpus-
and years after the Bible w&s: finished,
With alcohol thus let loose in all dia-'
bolical power for the last 800 years,
how frightfully have the habits of men
changed from those of Bible times!
To meet such changes the spirit of
Holy Writ must be served, not its let
ter, or else the Good Book is ancient,
not modern. -
Moreover, not only did the Bible-ages
know nothing of these spirituous and
malt liquors, but nothing of the North
; Carolina dispensary, the American sa
loon, English bar, French Cafe, or Ger
man beer garden. Think of one such
place in Jerusalem in the days of Solo
mon, Nehemiah or Jesus, where from
sun up till night hours men would
staid gulping down drinks, to go out
on the streets staggering, ; fighting,
swearing! It is not too much to de
clare that the power for evil of alco
hoi Is as much greater now than in
Bible times, as the power of the loco
motive, is now over that of the ox
drawn, cart of that far off day. In a
word, the open grogshop call It by
name is not only an enemy, but the
enemy of mankind ln this : Twentieth
Century. Its one commodity is alco
hol, which, when used as a beveiago
undermines the health, enfeebs ihe
will, makes the mind .-"oaiM-?, and the
tongue vulgar, brings discori into the
family, deprives children of their
rights, lowers the standard of morals,
corrupts politics, fills prisons and asy
ums with human wrecks, mocks at
religion and lulns immortal souls'
In view of this gigantic evil, wh'ch.
s now destroying annually more peo
ple than disease, famine and war put
aether, are we going to pin the
lible down to its literal teachings upon
hi.s subject, when alcohol for evil was
thousand times less than now? To
'o this is to make the-Bible an an
ient Book only. Not able in its splr
ual teachings and moral tone, to cove
vith present day sins. But ' this we
.nust not do, for the good reason, we
cannot. The Bible is not a book of
stereotyped sentences and cast iron
rules and regulations, fixed for every
l'are with the same meaning, and un
adjustable to the ever flitting! and ever
changing conditions of mankind. It
is a life, a living organism, 3 n evri-
Lworking and ever-triu n jhant firimal
power. For ever is Go l i Word fix.-.'
in heaven, therefore, is it ever ready
to deal with and conquer each rew
foe of earth. What, therefore, must
be done with humanity's greatest ene
my in the Twentieth Century? Kill it,
of course! Destrov it. root- and
branch! And this means prohibition
for the State, and total abstinence,: for
the individual! Nothing short of iliost;
two things can ever break alcohol-a
satanic power. The State .that woti?".

ty's grandest philanthropists, Francis
Elizabeth Willard, said: "The world
is my parish and to do good is my
relle-inn." And to nrove the sincerity
Qf her watch'WOrd, Miss Willard organs
ized the W. C. T. U's. Round the Wrorld

beniarned hands to the1 ends ; of - the
earthy its great originator composed the
Polyglot petition against alchohol,
against opium, and the unspeakable
evil. (This Polyglot petition, written in
many languages, was presented Sep

tic support. This Polyglot petition was
afterwards written in the languages of
fifty nations, was circulated in these
fifty countries; received 7,000,000 signa
tures, and was presented to the gov
ernments of these fifty nations respec
tively. It was while Mr. Cleveland was
president that the petition went to him,
signed by hundreds of thousands of
American citizens. '
It is to be observed that - the mighty
power that lar back of Miss Willard

stupendous world-wide movement for
the good of humanity, was the convic

but she was the first to make such a
reading tremendously bold. Well,
therefore, may the organization rep
resented here tonight bear proudly; its
name, for in its work: of radical reform,
it has the Christian scriptures for a
granite foundation.
' When Frances Elizabeth Willard died
In 1890, Joseph Cook, of Boston, said:
"The world seems lonely without Miss
Willard; one feels exposed and unpro
tected in the fields of reform now. that
she is no longer our guard.
The Iean of Canterbury wrote a let
ter on the occasion of her death; so
did other high dignitaries of church
and state in Great Britain; so did let
ters come from India, and other far off
parts of earth, and from all over Amer
ica. Never was any American woman
at death more honored in memory.
Recently, at the national capitol, a
monument has been erected to this no
ble woman, who was, in some respects,
the greatest temperance leader the 19th
century has produced; a woman of
splendid culture, of broad education, of
burning eloquence, of queenly appear
ance, inexorable purpose against all
evil, and in all her being adoring, tak
ing the Bible for her guide and "Je
sus for her helper and hope."
