Bishop's Advice to Beer Drinkers.
' Speaking at a church temperance mission to brickyard men, at Peterborough, on August 2nd, the "Bishop ' of" Eiy said they" learned in . Scripture that'wine was one of \ God.'s ; gifts to them',: and enjoy. Nothing was said about, beer in Holy Writ, but the: truth was that beer was in England what wine was ih" Judea —God r s gift to make glad the heart of man, and, if they could afford it, they might enjoy the. girt, using it rightly, of course. What Was true of many sins was especially true of drunkenness—it was the sin of using wrongly what they might - use rightly. • A simple rule was practical enough as a safeguard; they must stop when they had taken- enough. One man could not stand more than one glass, another might take five or six glasses; but it was always wiser to take too little rather than too much.
