Example and Influence.

If wine-drinking Christians, and especially ministers, could know the use made of their example by those who seek to drag down the unwary, if they could know how ten thousand demons seem to echo their sentiments in the struggling soul of those whom a single glass means ruin, they would drink no more while the world stands. It may be "manly" to take an occasional glass and sneer at the "weakness" of those who cannot and those who do not, but is it Christian? Reader, let us not judge others, but for ourselves decide and act with reference to such words as are written, Romans 15:1, 14:21, and Matt. 18:6-9.—Christian at Work.
