Tobacco and the Dying Saint

A CHICAGO writer tells of a woman who would not call the minister of her church to her death-bed. "Every time during her illness that he who was her pastor entered the room to bring the consolations of the blessed Gospel of love, peace, and purity, there came also with him the strong and unmistakable fumes of tobacco. To whisper into her dying ear the words of Jesus, the Saviour, on the breath of tobacco was more than the dying saint could complacently bear. The words might reach the ear, but so would the breath the nostrils."
