Temperance Breakfast to Medioal Students.

The annual breakfast meeting given by the British Medical Temperance AiiociatioQ to medical students was held at the Cannon-street Hotel, ton. don, on November 6th. There w_-s a large attendance, includiog students from the luondan Hospital, Gay's, St Thomas*, King's College, St Mary's, Middle-ex, and the London t-chool of Medicine for Women. Prof. Wood head presided, and the meeting was addressed by Br Pearce Gould, Mrs <Dr Soharlieb, Dr J Nixon, Mr W McAdam Ecclee, and Dr Hidge. Dr Pearce Gould said they were not asked to join a waning but a growing cause. The alteration in the medical Mid surgical us«s of alcohol in the last thirty years had been immense, so also bad been the estimate formed by busi nes§ met-'of the value of total abstain ers, whose livea were formerly con sidered uninsurable at ordinary rates, whereas now every life officQ was only too glad to get them. Total abstinence would enable them to make the best a.eof their powers, and waa helpful, physically, --mentally and morally. Alcohol never gavo self-control, or added to a mau'_ power of work. The responsibility was great in view of the terrible havoc caused by drink, not only the coarser forms of drunkenness, but its more insidious forms, and he Sloped they would not become hard and callous to all this. He could not help those who were given to drink so well If he were not an abstainer himself, and Ihere were many needing; help whose moral faculties were weakened.. He Would tolso remind them that though there wm-a large pathology of alcohol, there was absolutely none of total abstinence, ; Mrs Soharlieb also urged them to Join the Association; Her experience In India was that the abstaining natives j were most excellent patients, and in lievere Illness, such a_ enteric f«ver, and in operation cases, did well in a way she bad never seen others do. She rarely used alcohol ev.n in th* most severe operations. There had, no doubt, been great improvetaent in some of """' the drinking customs, but if England used the millions spent on drink in other ways it would be a blessing to herself and to tbe world. She believed that if they abstained they would be stronger in body, sol uand spirit. Votes of thanks were passed to tbe Speakers, and to Professor Woodhead, Nineteen students afterwards joined

The Bible and Strong Drink.

I.—Genesis iz, 20-25. Noah had newly been saved from a terrible de luge that had covered the earth. He planted a vineyard, drank ol its fruit, got drank and exposed himself in hia lent.. Canaan, hie youngest son, made flport of his father. For thia he was cursed, and that curse has clang to his race to the present day, _s,—Genesis xix, 20-88, Lot had Just been rescued from the destruction of Sodom. By the foul plot of his own daogbtMff, who.no doubt, had been tainted by the poisonous moral atmos phere of Sodom, he was betrayed to a state of senseless drunkenness, This resulted in a crime of unmentionable Bin. That sin broughtlorth the origin of two tribes of Moabites and Amonites who proven a worthless race, and who coniinned as thorns in tho sides of the people of Israel for generation. 3.—Leviticus x, 1-2, Two sons of Aaron* These young men, from th® effects of intoxicants, offered incense on God's altar with 'strange', or.un holy, or common fire. Inja momenta lame from God consumed both to death. A sad blow to Aaron, who waa prohibited to show any signs of mourning, and warned that no priests ahould touch intoxicants in the service of ihe temple. Should not all those engaged in holy work obey th.B in junction? - . 4.—Levit'cuß ii, 11. No lbavbn— in the service of God. Leaven is the result of fermentation, and fermenta tion produces alcohol, which results ia dronkenn°6B. There was such a thing ss " Drink offerings" in the service of the Tabernacle and the Temple, but from the fict that no "leaven" was allowed it is evident that th 1? wine offered in holy service was new , and tinfermented wine, or the fresh Juice of the grape, which is refreshing and non-intoxicating, and this is the good and harmless Bible wine. s,—The Israelites Deu. xxix, 5-6. A O-S-inon . xcuse for indulgence in strong drink i? t that hard work cannot be oarried on without it. Is it not the fact that for over 40 years journeying in a ' waste-howling' wilderness the children of Israel never tasted strong drink .
