Particu ar interest attaches to the statement by Rev. Dr. EL L. Bain dnringr this discussion that a leading tobacco manufacturer of Winston-Salem frankly ex pressed to him the conviction that tobacco is fated to go the way of liquor, as its effects in njuring or wrecking nerves and doing other mischief will not be tolerated for very many more years, That it is purely a poi- son a poisonous drug--no one will deny. Nevertheless, we may expect some lack of nniver- sal enthusiasm with the baa placed by the Conference upon tobacco for those becoming man- isters hereafter It will be rep- resented that the mimsters ot- mg to lay upon others ares ric- tion not assumed by themselves are truly ungracious pastors ' who show their younger breth- ren a steep and thorny - road ' to beavev whilst they themselves spit juice and puff smoke.
