As anyone knows who has any knowledge of proper wineâ€"making, new wine, which has not fully comâ€" pleted the process of fermentation is apt to be raw and fiery: and altogethâ€" er inferior to the finished product. The intoicating properties if "tirosh" are clearly shown in Hosea iv, 11, «B oLa oje ofe ofe ol 1 oJe afe ofe afe aBeoFe aBe on aBeaTe aBe aBa aBe afe aBo afe afe abe afe aBe aBeaSnafe afe nB aBeapre Foale c JeaSeaSn afe ahe afe abe afe abe afe afe cfen n aSoabe oBe dn aBn ate ahe abe abe abn obe abe aobe eb afe afe abe ale abe abe afe cfe abe afe ofe afe ofe ofe afe ols afe afe Froot "yarush," to take, <seize possession of, and means new so called because it gets po: of the brain and inebriates. but whose fermentation i: pleted, and therefore is "oinos," which word alw wine completely fermente on the other hand, is deri iBe oGe aBe eBe e aBe afe aGe aGeeRa sBe abo cBeaBe afe eBe aBe afe oBe ofe oSe oBe afe oBo oEn abe aBe ofe ofe afe oBe eBe oBe aBe afe aBe aBe aBe abe eBe ofe aBa oTe aBe ofe afe eBe afe afe afe aBe aBe aBe afe aBe afe afe afe ofe ofe aBe aBe aBe aBe ae oo afe ofe ce aBe she oBe oBe aBe aBs afe afe ofe sfe ole To the Editorâ€"In an article in a reâ€" cent issue of the Spectator, entitled Kinds of Wine, there are some extraâ€" ordinary siatements sut forward ir support uf the entirely imaginary theory of the temperance people that the word "wine" is ever used in scrip ture to denote the unfermented juice of the grape. As ‘stated in the article referred to, "yayin" and "tirosh" are the more common words for "wine" used in the original Hebrew of the Old Testament. "Yayin" is the gencric term for wine, and is derived from the root "yon", which means to boil up to be in a ferment. It is the same as the Greek "oinos," Latin . "vinum," our "wine." This word is found 141 times in the Hebrew Bible, and except in Job xxxii, 19, is always translated by "oinos‘"‘ in the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Old . Testament Scriptures made between 200 and 100 B. C., from which our version of the Old Testament is largely derived. In Job xxxii, 19 the reference is to the Be loyal to and Proud of the community you live in. _ Keep it on the map.

Conseâ€" quently we find that there is no word for "unfermented wine" in cither HePrew, Greek or Latin. The same is true of English. Fifty years ago the term "unfermented wine" would not have been understood, for the article practically did not exist. It is not however, necessary to be a scholar to ‘detect the utter faliacy of such pretensions; all that is needâ€" ed is a knowledge of ordinary Engâ€" lish as used in the Bible and the posâ€" session of a little ordin‘ary common sense, a faculty in which, alas! proâ€" hibitionists are as a Tule entirely lack ’ The real truth of the matter is that proibitionists, in order to get over theâ€" great stumbling blockâ€"as they consider itâ€"to their theories for all true Christians, the fact that Christ not only partook of fermented wine himself, at the tables of the rich and elsewhere, but commanded his folâ€" lowers to do the same in the sacraâ€" ment of the Lord‘s Supper, have inâ€" vented the theory of unfermented wine, which has no support from either scholarship or history. Unfermented wine was practically almost unused by Jews, Greeks and Rom.ns, for the simple. reason that they were unable to preserve it, and the juice of the grape freshly pressed out is a very insipid article, totally different from the modern production termed "unfermented wine." Conseâ€" quently we find that there is no word drunken; "asis," the root of which means to tread, to press, hence the word means "what is trodden out," and so put for new wine, the product of the same year; "sobe," which . is derived from a root meaning to soak, to drink to excess. still costs an st of course, the guests would cal at the quality of the wines nd it was a ~point of honor > Jews to at all events ‘begin t with really good winsâ€"but e good unfermented ‘wine had lad their hearts," to use the f serpture, they would naturâ€" less discriminatng, and t was less discrooooo0oonnnnnnnnn less discriminating, and it was ssible to substitute wine of qualityâ€"and also mirch jrunken, that â€" which is thou has kept the good w."

Such people are clearly of the same type as the Phariâ€" sees and lawyers to whom Christ reâ€" ferred in Luke vii, 31â€"35: "Anq the Lord said, whereunto then shall _ I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?

Section 15 of the oMtor Vehicles Act is amended by adding after the words ‘street car‘ in 1st ~line the words ‘a car of anvelectric railway is operated in or near the centre of the travelled portion of the highway,‘ and by inserting after the word ‘car‘ in the 3rd line the words or approach nearer than six feet measured back or forward from the rear or front end, as the case may be, of the car.‘ The Highway Travel â€" Act wa amended by adding the following sec tion : "Ja.
