The Christian Church and Temperance

It must never be forgotten that the church of Christ is a temperance society, instituted by God himself, and that to it all other temperance societies must be auxiliary. Paul gives us the true key when he tells us that temperance is one of the fruits of the Spirit—that is, a Christian grace or virtue. Religion alone can furnish the strength to resist temptation and save from falling. When men realize this, if they can be brought to repentance and prayer, there may be hope of real reform.—Sel.
