SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. the wine of the miracle of Oana was ■alcoholic! "Wen, Sir, where' is your evidence to the contrary? You tell us that Josephus avers that at that time the Jews were particularly abstemious. if they were so, how does it come that almost contemporaneously so many Scriptural warnings were necessary to tell the people to keep “sober”? . Mr. Milner, you ■ cite a number or Catholic prelates who are supposed to have urged Catholics “to get to the forefront in the battle against Alcholism,” and von gently ask if tlfey aVe wrong and I am right. Bofearing to that particular point, i will quote for your enlightenment a paragraph relating thereto, which appeared in “The Now Zealand lablet” on' the 3t7li October last. Tho “Tablet”' ' states : “A correspondent sends us a cutting from a Prohibition column ,and asks for a com-, ment on it. As a matter of fact it is hardly worth comment, and there is nothing now to be said about it. In accordance with time honored custom- the Prohibitionist writer enumerates a number of distinguished Catholic advocates of TOTAL ABSTINENCE and conveys the suggestion that they wore Prohibitionists. Every Catholic knows that Total Abstinence must to voluntary _ to be meritorious, whereas Prohibition is based mi the degrading doctrine that man must be dragooned by the Policeman into abstinence because human nature is incapable of voluntarv virtuous actions. Again, in 'many cases the Manichaean heresy that drink is evil in itself is at the hack- of the Prohibition movement, and Catholic advocates of Total Abstinence have declared they would rather cut off tlieir right hands than have anything to do witll such doctrines. * 5 Your final words, Mr. Milner, will do lio barm to me. You say “the fact of the matter is Mr. Ivyne does rot understand Prohibition, let alone Scriptural teachings on it.” Well done, Sir! You are as welcome to make reflections against myself and my learning as you desire! Ido not mind! You have my full permission ■to abuse and misrepresent me to vour heart’s contest. I will always have pleasure in correcting you 11 nm content to rest on THE-MERIT AND TRUTH OF MY CASE, which 'provide me with all tlie ammunition required for my purposes. You say Prohibition law, here or m America, or anywhere else does not forbid people partaking of liquor, or wine. It merely prohibits the manufacture for sale, transport, or export of alcoholic drink. Once again, Sir, I am bound to correct you vour statement. being but a half truth.. Does it interest you to learn that in recent times a man was sentenced to IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE in an American State for being m illegal possession of a pint of Ueer (vide cable from N.Y. 3rd Nov. .1927 and published in “Gisborne Tunes” on 14/H/27).
