Wine Given to Children at Fair
By Editor
The Occident, our bright and able Presbyterian contemporary across the bay, says in its issue of May 10:— Alameda County had a day at the Midwinter Fair last week. All the schoolchildren had free tickets and were out in full force. Some men—shall we call them men?—connected with the wine exhibit set out free wine and gave it to the children; even the little ones five years of age had all they wished to drink. Some may ask, Where was the law in regard to minors? We are sorry to say that the law of God or man is not taken into consideration at the Midwinter Fair. The giving of wine to the children was an outrage which ought to arouse the indignation of every right-minded man. And, too, the law of God is broken, we know. Every seventh day of the week, sanctified of God from the beginning, and confirmed by the life and death of Christ, is trampled underfoot, by many who regard no day at all, and by many more who have substituted a day of heathen tradition for the Sabbath of the Lord. But that belongs to God, and he will render to every man his deeds.
