The New Zealand Evangelist
Wine—
Wine—
“You see the wine when it sparkles in the cup and are going to drink it. I tell you there is poison in it! and, therefore, I beg of you to throw it away. You answer, the wine is harmless in itself. I reply, perhaps it is so, but still if it be mixed with what is not harmless ( alcohol) no one in his senses, if he knows it, will ever think of drinking it. If you add, it is not poison to me, though it may be to others; then I say, throw it away for thy brother's sake, lest thou embolden him to drink also!”
