To A. S. C.—We cannot imagine how any can find ground for objection to the health reform in this text. If the objectors do not admit that tobacco, whisky, &c. defile the man that uses them, they are only objects of pity, and not to be reasoned with. If they do admit that such things defile the user, then they need no further proof that their objection is founded on a perversion of the text. When the occasion and object of the Saviour’s remark is considered, there can be no difficulty.
