THE BIBLE AND STRONG DRINK Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow Who hath contentions? Who hatl battling? Who hath wounds withou cause? Who hath redness of eyes' They that tarry long at the wine; thej that go to seek mixed wine, look not thou upon the wine when it is red, wher it givoth his colour in the cup, when it I movoth itself aright. At the last il I biteth like a serpent, and stringeth like | an adder.—Proverbs, Chapter 23, verses 29 to 32. It is good neither to eat I flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything j whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is ■ offended, or is made weak.—Romans, ; 14th Chapter, 21st verse. —Advt.
