Temperance lesson and Nadab and Abihu warning sermon

The Sunday School lesson cites Leviticus ten above all as a temperance guide and condemns drink as a deadly evil. It cites Genesis Proverbs Esther and other scriptures and quotes Canon Farrar W Taylor and Dr Guthrie urging abstinence. It then compares the Nadab and Abihu incident to divine punishment for irreverence and unauthorized worship.
