QUARTERLY TEMPERANCE LESSON

LESSON VIII., MAY 22, DANIEL 1:8-21

Golden Text—”Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank”

The scrap of history furnished us in this lesson teaches a most excellent lesson in favor of total abstinence from intoxicants. The immense injury that has come to the weak, fallen human family through the evil of drunkenness cannot be stated; and indeed it is so apparent to conscientious people that a statement would be needless. All who love their fellow-creatures as themselves will gladly deny themselves liberties which to others less strong would surely be injurious.
