Tke Chrigtiaa Standard" a
the Wise Haklag at Cana
'Galilee.
. ... -xne christian standard , an
. argan Pf-tbe Christian or Disciples
church, published at Cincinnati,
Ohio, talks like a religious paper
snouia ao, on tne suDieci 01 tne
liquor iniquity.
It recognizes, of course, oar per'
sonal duty to abstain from the use
of intoxicants, but it goes further
than this and says we must use
our civil right to put down the
liquor traffic, by voting for Prohi
bition.
- But in its issue of September 16,
there u discussed a question bear
ing upon tha liquor traffic that is
going to test the moral courage of
the editor of that paper. It is
that story about Jesus' making
- wine at Cana or Ualuee.
Bro. Tillman of Knoxville, Ten
nessee, is a total
abstinence
man,
and he objects to the fact that
the "Standard Bible Le6son Com
mentary" teaches, that at Cana of
mr- T J it t i

use. -

'Drink, drink, like I do, in mod
eration, good 'real' wine," where shall
we get an argument for total absti
nence To this Bro. A. N Gilbert of
Cleveland, Ohio, who writes the
Standard Bible Lesson Commen
tary, makes a most sensible and
honest and just reply.
The substance of his reply is
that be appreciates the very nat
ural difficulty and embarrassment
of Bro. Tillman; that he is sorry
the difficulty does exist, and that
his prejudices against the liquor
traffic would make him remove it
if he could, but .that as a faithful
commentator on the Scriptures he
is bound to recognize the exist
ence of the difficulty.
These good brethren are equally
honest and equally right in their
views. The first, as a moralist,
has a right to object to any mor
alist making wine and encour
aging the use of it.
That the making and drinking
of wine is wrong is one of the set
tled and established facts among
Prohibition moralists, and can no
longer be open to discussion with
out a surrender of the very basal
principles of Prohibitionists.
That the wine that Jesus is said
to have made on that occasion,
was the same "real, intoxicating
wine" that is commonly alluded
to in the Old and New Testaments
as being dangerous, is beyond a
doubt, according to all well es
tablished principles of translation
and criticism.
All the efforts to make it ap
pear that it was merely fresh and
unfermented grape juice, are sim
ply the apologies and evasions and
subterfuges of men who are
driven to a last extremity. Such
easoners assume a position and
then argue to suit the assumption,
instead of accepting the evident
truth in the case, and abiding the
consequences.
All the liquor papers appreciate
that they have the believers in
the infallibility of the Christian
Scriptures at a disadvantage on
this story of Jesus' making wine,
and they are continually quoting
it, and with absolutely resistless
force.
It does not amount to anything
to quote other passages of script
ure against the use of wine. As
Bro. Tillman says, "The example
of Christ is the end of all contro
versy". We are all accustomed
to 6ay "Actions speak louder than
words'; and if there were plain
and unmistakable utterances of
Jesus against the drinking of
wine, this reputed miracle at Cana
would more than cancel them.
But not only is there no ex
Sression ot Jesus against wine
linking, but his own. language
indicates that he was a wine
drinker.
In Matthew 11;1 8-19, we have
the following; "For John came
neither eating nor drinking, and
they say, tie hath a devil.
The Son ot man came 'eating
and drinking, and they say, Joe
hold a man gluttonous and a wine
bibber".-
There is but one answer to this
statement that Jesus made wine
at Cana, and that is that he never
did it. This is the answer of
truth and honesty, and the one
that Christians must learn to
make, if they ever succeed in in
fluencing the broad-minded and
honest and intelligent.
Ifthereisnot in the beautiful
life of Jesus and in his heroic de
fence of the pure and good that
caused his death, nothing to excite
one 8 love and admiration ot him,
and if there is not in the beauti
ful code of ethics that he taught
nothing that commends them to'
us, no belief in miracles can ever
implant the true Christian spirit
in the hearts ot the people. "An
evil and adulterous generation
seeketh after a sign", (or miracle,)
but the man who is fully imbued
with the sentiment of the great
teacher, only cares to love his
neighbor as himself, and to do to
others as he wonld have them do
to him. -w
Grant that Jesus worked the
miracle of turning a few jars of
water into wine, what would it
amount to compared with the
magicians of Eervpt that sirrmlv
held out their wands and all the
waters of the Nile, and every lake
and pool and spring and rivulet in
E.gypt was turned into blood:
"funk of Niagara pouring
warm blood that 'thundered in the
depths below and flew into crim
son spray on the hoary rocks, and
then seethed and boiled in the
whirlpool below, then floated all
the shipping on Ontario and ruBhed
down the rappids of the St. Law
rence and bloodied the- Atlantic
ocean clear across to Ireland, and
rolled in the tide up the English
channel and the Thames until it
washed with gory waves the base
of the parliament house in London,
and yet every drop of all this flood,
under a ma&rnifvine elass. iust the
feame-that - comes from- ourTCun
flesh, and then you may imajgine
what occurred in Egypt, when at
the wave of the magicians wand,
the whole Nile, from its proverbi
ally unknown head to its delta at
the Mediteranean, "poured blood
that rolled over its wonderful
dataracts as the water now pours
over Niagara.
What is the miracle of turning
132 gallons of water into wine,
compared with that magician's
miracle id Jgypt that made such
floods of blood that any one of the
seven mouths of the Nile would
have floated the present British
navy in blood as true and genuine
as ever flowed from the veins of
martyr or patriot?
But who believes . this Bible
story of Egyptian magic? Not a
single sane and intelligent man
in the btate of Kentucky.
what else then can we expect
than that our churches should be
filled with people that we can not
influence by argument and moral
suasion, when we appeal to them
in behalf of Prohibition and other
measures to promote morals, when
our learned clergy are teaching
the people that belief in such
stories is the .great and main
feature in Christianity?
In all the cycles of the universe
there never was one drop of water
turned into blood or wine, by
magic or miracle, and every edu
cated man and woman in the land
knows this.
Why then will true and honest
Christians who are trying to ac
complish the greatest reform that
i i a . i ; a i
Das ever oeen attempted in me
annals of Christianity, give to
their enemies and the enemies of
good morals, this evident advan
tage over the true spirit of Chris
tianity, simply for the sake of de
fending an unreasonable dogma
that had its origin in intellectual
darkness and religious super
stition, which demanded that no
moral code could be binding on
our consciences until attested,
confirmed and ratified by mir
acles? If the smallest dewdrop that
glistens upon a blade of bluegrass
were, by miracle converted into
wine, the result would be a wreck
of matter and a crush of worlds,
and the universe would crumble
into chaos. It would as truly re
verse and overthrow the laws of
nature as to arrest the earth and
the planets in their orbits around
the sun.
Just as the stoppiug ot the
smallest wheel in the mechanism
of a great clock would so derange
all other wheels as that the hands
upon its dial would no longer
mark the flight of time, so an in
terference with the harmonious
would throw into absolute discord
laws that govern a dew drop.
the muBic of the.spheres, and to
the remotest bounds of the uni
verse every wheel would be
clogged, the motion of suns and
and moons of planets and stars
would cease, and time would be
no more.
Cleveland Onto Gets Away
With me en Bob Ingersoll.
Cleveland, O., Sept. 6, 1891.
Editor of Blue Gram Blade.
We, the Prohibs of this part of
the country are in sympathy with
you to a certain extent. But to a
man up a tree, it is hard to see
where the Prohibition party wouldt
gain anyining n it were to emu
late the example set by your ideal
Bob Ingersoll.
True he has made fine speeches
in iavor ot temperance, so nave
tnousanos oi preachers all over
the land. True he has advocated
the Prohibition of the liquor
tramc; so have the preachers.
Now when it comes to votin
where do we find Ingersoll? Dii
you ever hear any oue accuse him
of voting against the Republican
party? Oh, you may say, But
look at the beautiful lessons he
teaches. What better are' beauti
ful lessons and speeches from Bob
Ingersoll than from a preaeher, if
he does not follow bis precepts"
it seems narrow-minaeaness in
you to use the language you do in
reference to bam Jones, one who
has done more good for Prohibi
tion than' Ingersoll ever will.
Why? Because Jones votes as he
srays and preachee: and for the
lie of me I can not see the differ
ence between a religious hypocrite
and a non-religious one.
it costs no more for Ingersoll to
mouth about the beauties of Pro
hibition than it does any one else.
And where he does any more good
than any other mouthy non-voting
hypocrite I fail to see.
We have hundreds of infidels
in our citv. but as vet. we have
failed to find them at the vofcnaT
m a . a ...
. . . - -
tor rrohibition. All our strength.
with few exceptions, comes from
the churohes.
Yours truly,
. A. H. Mason. '.
Tbatiss
splendid Tetter. It
hoists both Ingersoll and me od
our own petard, and is the best
answer to Ingersoll I have ever
read. I have heard and read a
good many men on the "Mistakes
of Ingersoll", but this Cleveland
brother is the first man I have
ever met that beat him. .
Ingersoll ran rough-shod over
Brethren Jery Black and Fields
and Gladstone; and Bro. Wend
ling on Ingersoll alwavs reminds
me of a little dog barking at the
moon.
But this Cleveland Mason is a
wise master builder, and he has
taken Ingersoli's logic and
whacked him over the head with
it, and hit me some pretty good
raps over .old Bro. Bob's shoul
ders. One of Ingersoli's charges
agginst the Christians of this day,
if I am not mistaken, is that while
they claim to be followers of a
meek and lowly master, they are
in their lives just as sordid and
selfish and vain glorious as any
body else.
Col. Ingersoll glorifies consis
tency and then says that the
Christians are not consistent. But
how much better is the Colonel?
If the Christians are hypocrites
because they do not practice what
they preach, what can we say of a
man of the mighty geuius of Rob
ert G. Ingersoll who is always ex
tolling the beauty of good morals,
and the lovliness and purity of
woman; and yet when it comes to
a vote, he votes against Prohibi
tion, and therfore votes for the
liquor traffic, that his genius, and
great and extended experience,
and knowledge make him know
to be the sum of all villainies
the Pandora's box from which
seem to come all sins and haug
like a palled Iliad of woes over
this unhappy country.
Col. Ingersoll is the author of
some of the most beautiful pan
egyrics on woman that the Eng
lish language has produced. lie
has not hesitated when it was pro
posed to enfranchise the ignorant
negro, or the Indian savage with
the scalp of Custar at his belt, and
the blood of the victims of the
"Sun dance" on their hands; but
he drew the line at woman, when
she asked the right to say at the
polls that the distiller and brewer
and saloon-keeper should not
ruin and damn her precious boy.
I believe Col. Ingersoll has done
good in the world. I believe he
was right and conscientious when
by the sword he helped to over
throw slavery, and that he has
done good with his mightier pen
and tongue in overthrowing
superstition and the tables of the
money changers, and lashing with
a whin of scorpions, from the
temple of pure Christianity them
that sold doves, and followed the
great Master for the loaves and
fishes; but I am bound to saf with
Bro. Mason that I can't see the
difterence'between a religious
hypocrite and aTnon-reheious one.
It is all right and nice, in the
great, and generous, and noble,
and bold Colonel; to march up
and vote with the party that hyp
ocritically supports the liquor
traffic, and is afraid - to use that
manly and defiant championship,
of which the Colonel is the bright
exemplar; but when one of these
Eulogized American women wants
the right to say at the polls that
she wants to stop the liquor traffic,
that is ruining her husband or
father or brother or son. and
breaking her heart and starving her
children, this knightly champion
of woman seems to shudder with
horror at the idea of woman being
drawn into this polluting' con
tact.
As to ray expressed admiration
of Col. Ingersoll that called forth
this letter, I must confess that -I
was more driven to it by the, f-
con8istency of Christians than
drawn to it..bv the consistency of
Col. ingersoll.
1 have before said in the Blade
something like I now say about
Col. Ingersoli's inconsistency, hut
it never before struck me so iorci
bly that Col. Ingersoll, in this
most important of all the moral
issues before the world, is being a
hypocrite just as truly as the
Christians that vote with him on
this great question.
Many infidels have patted me
on the back tor what 1 have
said about religion, but I want
all such to understand that mv
religion judges a tree by its fruits.
It such infidels have had such
superior intellectual ability as to
discover the theological specula
tive errors of the Christian world,
they are under all the greater ob
ligation to Bet these people a good
example in putting down the prac
tical errors of the world, that bear
immediately upon human happi
ness. ' It it be true, as -this Cleveland
gentleman says of Prohibition, that
"All our strength, with few excep
tions comes from the churches .
and if it be true that the proud
American born Rations listitalka.
up to tne. pons with the foreign
born Catholic Irish saloon-keeper,
or the the foreign born Oerman
Catholic brewer, either of whom
would be proud to kneel and kiss
the Pope's toe, and that Rational-
st votes with the Democrratic
Catholic Irishman, o'r the Republi
can German Catholic, to fix and
establish in this concirTvtrsm
which thai-Rationalist knows to
be the greatest evil that has ever
afflicted the world, what is to keep
one of these benighted Christians
who believes that the river Nile
once ran pure blood, and that
Joshua made the sun stand still,
and that the world is only six
thousand years old, and that
snakes and donkeys used to talk
what, I say, is going to keep
these Christian ignoramuses from
ooKing at the lowest type of a
foreign born Irish Catholic saloon
keeper, and the highest type of
American born Rationalist that
votes with this saloon-keeper, and
asking where is the practical dif
ference between the two? And
what are you Rationalists going
to say when they ask you to show
the difference?
Every body knows, that knows
anything about me and the Blade,
that, more than all the editors in
Kentucky put together, I have,
by my book, by my paper and by
my speech defended the Rational
istic view of religion.
Among Kentucky gentlemeu
who are Rationalists, and who
have appreciated this in me, are
some of the finest and wealthiest
and best educated and most moral
men in the State. Some of them
iave freely helped me with their
money and moral support, and
some of them most earnestly vote
with me and work with me for
rohibition.
But if Rationalists claim that
there are a great many who are
such at heart, who are not willing
to proclaim it as a matter of expe
diency which of itself is not very
creditable how can they consist
ently with the claims of the su
periority of Rational views, admit
that the great mass of the voters
for Prohibition are from the
churches?
Just as sanctified cant among
Christians that lend themselves to
all unrighteousness excites the
disgust ot the free thinker, so will
earnest and honest Christians, and
earnest and honest infidels be dis
gusted with those who pride them
selves that they have risen above
the superstition of our ancestors,
and yet, on a great moral issue,
vote with the most degraded and
most superstitious and most hypo
critical of all the religionists.
With all the light that has been
brought to bear upon the evils of
the liquor traffic, no intelligent
Rationalist Col. Ingersoll or any
ether can be conistent until he
votes with the Prohibition party,
and uses every reasonable en
deavor to advance its interests.

Bright and Cheppu were trying

allowed his associate in the dog

the nog trade that sounds like a

at $10,000 each it only takes

e collapse in the price of
that busted the combination
was probably owing to the failure
in the dog show that was lately

and Bro. lick"Redd a -deacon in
the Presbyterian church in this
city, for a church charity. W hen
they got through, . so far from
there being anything to give to the
poor and afflicted, Gen. Gentry
had to go down into his breeches
pocket and haul out his big wal
let to pay the expenses of the
thing. The General is still alive,
but his friends are solicitous about
him, and are keeping such things
as pistols and shot guns and razors
and "rough on rats" out of his
hands.

the dog show was to come off.
Race horse men are conscien
tious about training their horses on
Sunday, but the dog show being
under the management of a Pres
byteritn church officer, who is
also & Democratic officer of the
law, and the dog show being for
a religious purpose, the little mat
ter of working fifteen men all day
in the broiling hot sun and fear

the great "Meadowthorpe" dog
farm which he had allowed to

ante its overdraft, and Bro. Bright
resigned.
We people who are not pious
