TOBACCO VS. CHRISTIANITY.

By J. H. Hanaford

God is the author of all the laws of our being, those of the body as well as those of the soul, and he is pleased when we obey them all. He does not delight in sickness and suffering, for these are the necessary consequences of violating his laws in the body. Christianity, in my opinion, does not sanction the use of tobacco or any other intoxicant. The use of the stimulants is a mere indulgence, a gluttony. Let me invite the Christian who doubts this to ask God's blessing on his pipe or on his dram, as he thinks it right to do on his food! DR. J. H. HANAFORD.
