" It is not for kings, O Lemuel : it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes strong drink : lest they drink and for- get the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of a heavy heart — let him drink and forget his poverty, and re- member his misery no more. " The total abstinence from wine and strong drink was under the Levitical dispensation reserved for the law of the Nazarite — an obligation... voluntarily assum- ed, like that of the total abstinence pledge of the present day — usually for a given number of days, 14 seldom exceeding eight, during which the Nazarite was under solemn obligations of other observances and privations — because the consecration of his God was upon his head. At the close of the term of his vow, he was released with solemn religious sacrifices by the Priest — and after that (says the sacred text, ) the Nazarite may drink wine, (Num- bers 6 : 20. ) There was a single instance of a child devoted to God as a Nazarite for his whole life, by his mother before he was born ; and the herald of the Saviour, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand, John the Baptist, was also a Nazarite for life.
