(Copyrlclil. 1917, Wcitrrn Xrwtpnpfr fnlnn.)
LESSON FOR MAY 20
THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-CON-TROL
TEMPERANCE LESSON.
l.HSSO.V TUXT-lsii :S:1-13.
OOU'ICN TliXT-Kxcry mun that Btrlv
nth for tlio nmnlcry Is U'lnpornto In all
things - I Cor. 9:25.
WIiii In the Scriptures Is spoken of
under four aspects, l-'lrst, social, that
as lllmtrntrd by Its use nt the mar
riage hi Cnuii. We must not, however,
confute tliis wine with the spirituous,
strong think of tills present day. Sec
ond, medicinal (Prow 31:15-7; 1 Tim.
5:23). These passages do nut com
mand us to use It as such, and God
has very graciously revealed to us
In modern medical research the futil
ity of the use of alcohol In the matter
of medicine as a remedy. Third, sacri
ficial wine (Matt. 2(1:27-21); Luke 22:17
20), and, fourth wine Is spoken about
as productive of the woes of men (Sou
Amos 0:1; Heb. 2:15; Prow 23:20).
It Is alo mentioned by way of contrast
(See Kph. 5:18).
Tho Scriptures speak of drunkards
In four different ways: (1) They are
to be stoned (Deut. 21 :20) ; (2) Drunk
ards lead to poverty (Pro v. 23:21);
(3) Drunkards aro to be separated
from other men (I Cor. 5:11); (4)
they are to be finally separated from
God (I Cor. 0:0).
Abstinence from strong drink Is en
joined in the Scriptures under three
heads: (1) the priest and Nazarltu
(Num. 0:3; Lime 1:15); (2) the ruler
(Prow 31:1); (3) thoso who are to
worship Jehovah (Lev. 10:3).
This particular lesson Is taken from
a portion of Isaiah's prophecy where
he Is anticipating what Is about to hap
pen to Samaria, and uttering his warn
ings unto Jtidnh.,
I. The Steps of Intemperance. First,
Disgrace, and Dishonor (v. 1). The
city of Samaria Is compared to a
chnplct of flowers on a drunkard's
brow, which shall be trodden under
foot because of his Inebriety. Drunk
enness seemed to have been so wide
spread as to become a national sin.
Second, Disease and Degeneracy (v. 2).
Tho prldo of beauty spoken of In verso
ono Is to "fall to tho earth." This
glorious beauty was after all only a
"fading flower" (I Pet. 1:24). The
coming of the Assyrians upon Samaria
Is described in a three-fold way: (1)
As a "tempest of hall" ; (2) as a "de
stroying storm;" (3) as a "tempest
of mighty waters overflowing." Tho
thought contained Is that of wide
spread and overwhelming destruction.
Back of this work of devastation nnd
destruction nnd desolation was tho
wrath of God against sin (Ch. 2:4-9).
All earthly pride shall bo trodden un
der foot. Samaria, "a fading flower,"
was to be greedily eaten up by the on
coming enemy.
II. Those Reached by Intemperance.
Strong drink causes men to err In their
conduct, In their moral Insight, In their
Judgments. It roaches tho beautiful
(v. 1) ; It reaches the learned (v. 7) ;
It reaches those In authority; In .fact
all classes. It leads men to the depths
of degradation and to the loss of their
wills (v. 8) ; It makes men to become
beasts, wallowing In their own vomit.
Not only Samaria, but "theso also"
(vv. 7 and 8), that Is people of Jeru
salem have erred through wlno nnd
strong drink. Even tho priests and
the prophets had and do so now (See
Ch. 50:10-12; Mlcnh 2:11). The priests
vvero especially Inexcusable because of
tho plain directness of God's word
(Lew 10:0-10; Ezeklel 41:21). Tho
result of their Intemperance was that
they utterly failed In their oflkial
acts. They reeled In vision and Btum
bled In Judgment. Tho use of wlno
and strong drink made their social
gatherings filthy and disgusting. Tem
perance Is tho habit of abstaining from
everything that destroys. It Is the con
trol and right use of God's good gifts
for service. Intemperance Is lack of
control or tho wrong uso of God's
gifts In self-indulgence.
III. The Lesson In Contrast. Jeru
salem vs. Samaria. Samaria's crown
of prldo was not the glory of God.
Its beauty was a fading flower (v. 4),
his wisdom contemned through tho
Ignorance of Somurla (vv. 0, 7, 12"),
bis strength versus their weakness and
wickedness (vv. 0, 13). God teaches
by contrast as well as by direct
precept. Verses nine nnd ten may bo
taken ns a mocking answer of tho peo
plo to God's prophet.' Isaiah Intimates
that tho time to begin our Instruction
Is In childhood (v. 0), that precept
must be upon precept, and Hue upon
line, hero a little and there a little.
Thero never Is a time when wo can let
up in this struggle against the mighty
evil of Intemperance.
Tnko ns a reply (v. 0) this would
seem to Indicate that God took them to
be babies Just weaned. If tho prophet,
himself, Is tho speaker, then Jehovah
Is represented as teaching knowiedgo
to babes nnd not to tho self-sulllclent.
It Is theso whom ho "makes to under
I stand his message" (It. V. ), and tho
I method of his teaching Is precept upon
precept. If wo will not hear God's
loving nnd pntlent call to repentance,
no win spcaK to us turougn cruel ene
mies. If wo will not tench our chll-'
dren, If wo wijl not keep everlastingly'
agitating this question, ho will use oth
er means (v. 11).
NEW EXPLOSIVE BEING USED
Rochnmbollte, Introduced by French
on Western Front, Has Tcrrlblo
Effect on Enemy.
ItnchaiulHillto Is a now and terrible
explosive that has recently been Intro
duced on the w ostein front by tho
French ami employed In tho defense of
Voidunf says tho Argonaut. Tho ex
plosive, when totcd In action at Ver
dun, was found to possess a most ter
rible and dctimrull.liig elTcct upon tho
Germans.
The explosive Is it powder which,
upon ignition, dump's Into a molten
metal and a very largo ultimo of gas
In an Infinitely small space of time.
This stuliloii change In volume anil
the tonillo heat which Is generated
cause an Immense pressure on the
walls of the vessel that contains It,
shuttering the walls and hurling tho
molten metal and wall fragments In
nil directions, spreading death and de
struction In their path.
The effect of this molten metal on
the Germans can hardly bo Imagined.
Pieces of inotnl upon striking them Im
mediately burn their way deep into
tho llesh, oven to the bono, causing
Intense pain and suffering to tho vic
tim. So deadly and so demoralizing
have tho French found this explosive
to ho that they are now utilizing It on
the entire front.

The Purchase of a Saxon
Insures Riding Satisfaction
Saxon cars are today generally recognized as
the best cars in their price classes.
Their greater value has been definitely and
decisively established by their performance
records in the hands of thousands of owners in
all parts of the country.
The Saxon Motor Car Corporation has earned
one of the biggest successes in the automobile
industry. It owes its success to the policy ofL
building good cars and building them in quan
tities. Its cars have won the respect of the
motor buying public.
Such absolute satisfaction as is represented in
the following testimonial is the big reason back
of Saxon success :
"I want to say that Saxon 'Six' is an automo
bile that will do 'all the Saxon Motor Car Cor
poration claim it will do and more.
"Wo have driven our car many thousand
milea and can honestly say it is the easiest
riding car we ever rode in."
