Mevertireiess we hope this may be a great victory for the cause of education. Some oppose measures of this k'.ad smipiy because they haven't been brought to look at it in the right way.

Well, Mr. Editor, as news is scarce im this section will you kindly let ine sav a few words ether thaiii ne Als I We do not wish to be antagonistic! people are net slaves to this nibit, and all who use it are not guilty Of all of which we shall make note. But Spurgeon said "If the cap should f-t. pray wear it a but. When is a man at his best in a.ny wa.lk of ife; Whether in the pulpit, office, or on the farm. The answer is simply, when he has5; abundance of t nr. rr-t- r . l- -n -- 1 " -.i , , tl will of God that we should be in this state? Most assuredly it is for he created man in his own image in John 10:10 you will find these words I am come that they -might have life and that they might have it ; more abundantly." Our Savior while on earth went ; about healing the sick cleansing the j leper causimg the blind to receive j their sight and making the maimed and halt to leap and praise God. , It is evident that Christ healed phy- ; sical as well as spiritual sickness and taught his followers to preserve j he body that it might be a fit temple for the indwelling of the soul Then what must be the cense - quences when we deliberately permit im doin what destroys this body?

The heart itself may be perlfectty - ....... sDusnd, but taxed beyond its) strength What affects the heart affects circu lation and digestive organs. Still oth ers may say adl this is a farce and that chewing or using tobacco in any way will mot cause these thiings. But my dear friend, you are very much mistaken. These are verified facts. And another thing we wish to tsay dm regard to desecrating the honse of the Lord by the use of tobacco. We have all heard the old maxim,. "Clean lmess is next to Godliness." Is it not bad enough to profane our bodies? To say nothing of profan ing Church.
