Eat, drink and be merry, for to-morrow ye die. Cold water is a mocker. Drink not to drunkenness, be temperate in all things, that'you may have health, wisdom and content. Those who are engaged in the manufacture and s^ile of alco holic vinous' and fermented liquors, are neither murderers, robbers | -nor burdens to society, that they pay a larger revenue b.r the sup- Si port of government and society than every other class of business s men and should be protected instead of persecuted. 3 The Savior converted the water at the wedding feast at Galilee, j si into wine because he preferred wine to water as a beverage. 3 There are a number of men who drink a hundred glasses of beer in a day and continue to be healthy, active business men to a ripe old age, but if we could just get one hundred glasses of water into rj each prohibitionist in any one day, we would rid the country of a 5i terrible nuisance. The Savior said wine would be drunk in heaven. ■VerilyIsay unto you,Idrink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day that I drink it anew in the kingdom of God. Of | I course there will be no prohibitionists in heaven. 3 The Savior ordained wine as the emblem of his blood. '5 If a man drinks a gallon of beer at one time, it will make him drunk, if he drinks a gallon of water at one time it will either burst him open or he will die with a sand bar in his stomach. God created water and wine, man takes his choice The Savior drank wine. I He baptized with water. / i The Savior manufactured wine wheii water was abundant, he I commanded the use of wine as a beverage, he also commanded the I use of water for baptismal and sanitary purposes. I One of the Savior'.s last acts on earth was to give his Apostles I wine to drink, he washed their feet with water. <
