“Lakher and Lushei Christians are not allowed to drink wine, beer or spirits, and no one can become a Christian who ever touches alcohol. In the author’s opinion this is going much too far. The people have few pleasures, and after strenuous work, most likely in torrents of rain, a stimulant is rather a good thing. It would therefore be better to encourage temperance than to insist on prohibition.
Among more civilized people prohibition has led to deceit; its results are the same among these primitive hillmen. There are so few Christians among the Lakhers that the ill effects of prohibition are not yet so marked as among the Lusheis; but if Christianity spreads and prohibition is insisted on, the same ill effects will occur. There is bound to arise a body of ex-Christians who have been turned out of the Church for drinking beer, but who, having lost their own beliefs, are subject to no moral sanctions whatever. There are many such among the Lusheis.
It is to be hoped that a lesson will be learnt from the evils which prohibition purporting to be based on religion has caused among the Lusheis, and that a more enlightened policy may be followed. To a lay mind the teaching that no one who drinks beer can be a Christian savours of deceit, and one cannot be surprised if surreptitious drinking exists among Christian Lusheis and Lakhers. The Lusheis are much more advanced than the Lakhers; they see many Christians who use alcohol, and naturally ask why their particular brand of Christianity prohibits all alcoholic drinks.
As they become more enlightened they will inquire deeper, and trouble will ensue. With a primitive people absolute truth is essential; once you deceive them, even with good motives, you forfeit their trust. For this reason, to make abstinence from drink an essential tenet of Christianity is entirely wrong, and is bound to lead to trouble. Encourage temperance in every way possible, but do not base your teaching on a false foundation.
It is unfortunately so much easier to destroy customs wholesale than to preserve and improve them, and among the Lusheis destruction, admittedly with the best intentions, has worked havoc.
When mission work was first started among the Lusheis it was carried on largely by the light of nature, without training and without knowledge of the customs of the people. This led to the condemnation as heathen and useless of some most excellent customs, which no one who had studied them could have failed to wish to preserve….”
