Appropriate Comment.

By G. W. A.

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.” Luke xxi, 34.

The Family Bible, with notes, published by the American Tract Society, has the following appropriate reflection on the above passage:

“Excessive eating and drinking tend not only to produce various bodily diseases, but to blind the mind, stupify the conscience, and corrupt the heart. Christians should not indulge in these sins, which unfit them for the discharge of their duty, and prevent their being prepared for the coming of Christ.” G. W. A.
