Our Next Week's Theme.

By Editor

THERE is no more important subject than the theme of our paper for next week. The topic will be "Bible Temperance." And in order to appreciate the blessings of true temperance, which is Bible temperance, the subject will be considered under these heads:

Intemperance—Its Awful Curse.

The Place Where It Begins—Education—Parents.

True Temperance—All Things.

Prohibition—Hopeless.

Christ's Power to Save—A Clean People.

One of the admonitions that the Saviour gives to those who are looking and waiting for His coming is, "Take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare." Luke 21:34. "Surfeiting," which is overeating or gluttony, and "drunkenness," and the cares of this life, are the special things that we are to guard against in the last days. And if these things were not the prevailing evils and dangers of this time the Master would not have given the admonition and uttered the warning. Hence the importance of this forthcoming number of the paper, and the necessity of all our patrons doing all they can to give it a wide circulation.
