Health and Temperance.

By T. G. Evans

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."—1 Cor. 10:31.

IT'S THAT THAT PUZZLES ME.

I'm not surprised, 'mong workingmen, Truth's so misunderstood That they imagine, now and then, A glass will do them good; But when 'mong men of mind and thought I look around, and see The very selfsame blunder taught, It's that that puzzles me.
I'm not surprised that men who're lost To all ennobling life Should drink—despite the fearful cost— This cause of so much strife; But how good men who preach His name, Mankind from sin to free, Can drink this cup of sin and shame, It's that that puzzles me. —T. G. Evans.
