fever. Should polio strike in your

Self-Control
Is the Essence
Of Temperance
PHIS is a temperance lesson.
Temperance lessons were for-
merly built around the principle
of total abstinence from alcoholic
liquors. That principle has been
basic in such organizations as the
WCTU and various temperance
societies, and in the main it has
been the emphasis in temperance
activities in most of the Protestant
churches. But it requires very
little observation to note that in
respect to this there has been a
great let-down among church peo-
ple in recent years.
Liquor has of late become more
strongly entrenched in social cus-
tom, and social custom takes on in
this respect a somewhat exacting
and domineering aspect. The nor-
mally social abstainer, who would
not hesitate at a party to decline
courteously a cup of tea, or a cup
of coffee, hesitates to decline a
cocktail, lest he be regarded as
socially unco-operative or pe-
culiar.
For my own part, when I have
been offered liquor, as has hap-
pened even on pastoral visits, I
have been wont to say that I am
as dry as the Sahara, but that I
am neither Pharisaic, nor apolo-
getic, about it. I am not Phari-
saic, for I know that far better
men than I drink habitually. But
I am not apologetic, for I resent
the social imputation that I should
eat or drink what I neither want,
nor like, and particularly some-
thing with which a great deal of
personal and social unhappiness is
associated. It is my feeling that it
is the drinker, rather than the
abstainer, who ought to be on the
defensive.
But all this leads up to the plain
truth that it is self-control that is
the essence of temperance. And
the highest form of self-control,
which implies a self capable of
controlling, is the control of the
spirit of God in the inward life.
With that well established one
I cannot far go astray, whatever
his reactions to the problems of
conduct
