There are few vices, how- ever disgusting or polluting, in the j^ractice of which men will not resort to the Bible for shelter. The drunkard tells us that Paul advised Timothy " to take a little wine for his stomach's sake, " while he well knows, or ought to know, tliat the Bible declares that "no drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of God. " The Sabbath-breaker, while pursuing his worldly busi- ness upon the Lord's day, although unable to conceal his sense of-^iiit^- will cite to us the passage... in which a man is authorized to '* lift his sheep from the pit. " The polygamist and the debauchee will refer us to Abraham and Solomon, regardless of the numerous and strong denunciations of Scripture against fornica- tion, and the repeated instances of its punishment. And in like manner may the thief adduce the exam- ple of Christ, who plucked corn to appease his hunger; and the gambler the casting of lots in the case of Jonah, in both which cases the preservation of life was the motive. The practice of fleeing to the Bible for absolution from guilt, as in ancient times the fugi- tive from justice sought safety by laying hold upon the horns of the altar, is a most weak and dangerous 34 AMERICA'S misfortune; or, one.
