914. The Sabbath and Tobacco.

By William Warren Prescott

CAN a man keep the Sabbath and use tobacco? W. W. P.
Yes, and no. He can rest on the seventh day, not knowing or realizing the wrong of tobacco-using; he may in a measure know Christ and His rest; but to keep the Sabbath of the Lord in the fullest sense is to know the rest of God, the rest of perfect peace.
But to know God's rest we must know God's works, "which God afore prepared that we should walk in them." Eph. 2:10. We could not conceive that God has prepared tobacco-using as one of the works in which we should walk, could we? Nor has He prepared any other hurtful habit for that purpose.
