"Quite an easy task for one who has given honest study to the question,"
said Mr. Wine Expert. "Wine is a mocker. Just as wisdom mocks at the
calamity of those who reject it in Prov. 1:26. So, wine, personified
in a similar manner, mocks at the folly of those who refuse it.
(Applause.) Strong drink is raging. Just as in Jonah 1:15, the sea was
raging in protest against Jonah because he refused to preach the truth
to the people. So in this passage, 'strong drink is raging,' because
so many church-members and ministers refuse to preach the real truth
to the people on the subject of strong drink. (Prolonged applause.)
If there were as much said against me falsely, as has been spoken
against strong drink, I would not only rage, but would go raging and
foaming over this stage in protest. (Tremendous applause and shouting
from the people of the world.) I tell you more, my friends, strong
drink will keep on raging as long as old Voices and 'The New Voice'
of cranks and idiots are heard to squeak out their childish nonsense
to an enlightened people." (Furious applause and demonstrations.)
"The last part of the passage is easily to be understood," continued
the speaker.
