Anti-Tobacco Teaching

There is one mission operating in India which resolutely insists—wisely, as we believe—on total abstinence from alcoholic liquors and tobacco on the part of all its agents, foreign and Indian. In the case of the latter, there is more difficulty in regard to tobacco than to liquor. Very rarely indeed is there any necessity for applying the discipline because of intemperance. It is at once remarkable and a source of much thankfulness that in the large body of native Christians connected with this mission, largely recruited from the lower classes, intemperance is practically unknown.
