Mr Adams, in his feeble, special-pleading reply to Professor Salmond's scholarly exposition ot the fallacies of Prohibition, writes: “ There can be no reasonable doubt that much of the wine of Palestine, and, indeed, much of the wine in use in all countries of the world up to a date centuries after Christ was not fermented." The Bible says of Noah: “ And he drank of the wine and was drunken.” (Genesis Ch. IX, v 21). Will Mr Adams explain how “ tin" fermented " wine produces drunkenness? Mr Adams writes: “ It is not recorded that Christ ever saw a drunken man ? Does Mr Adams wish Christians j to understand that JeSUS Christ, The Son of God , was not familiar with the Old Testament and, that - living in a Roman Province, he was ignorant that there was such a vice as drunkenness? Are Christians to cast aside the teachings of their own Bible and substitute those of the Mahometan ; Koran ? Vote For Your Liberty and Strike out the Bottom Line bn BOTH Ballot Papers.
