The Templar (i'he temperance or-
gan) has the followiug: "ft is impos-
sible to legalize the liquor traffic with-
out sin ?" The concl ussfon to be drawn
is that those governments who do so
are sinners, and by a logical process of
reasoning, the supporters of sueh goy..
eruments are equally sinners. Now,
as both the Lneat and :Dominion parlia-
ments, or governments, are connected
with this licence business, both are.
sinners, and their sympathizers are al-
so sinuers. Now, as there are a great
many persons in our midst whet agree
with the Templar in this particular,
but are strong participants in the use
of nicolia poisan. For their sbecial
benefit 1 pee the following :—
CAti a PERSON USE '1 o ACCO WITH-
OUT SIN ?
Every animal in a normal condition
requires such i.ourishment as will
cause the growth, develope.nent and rer-
plenishmeut of the orgalirc structure,
something that has au ailiuity to the
system. Such as air, light, water,food,
sleep, rest, etc. If this balance be-
tween waste and supply is perfectly
maiutained, it would be difficult for
disease to el'ter, If anything used dis-
turbs this equilibrium, sueh as tobacco,
the action becomes abnormal, The
laws of Nature, (which aro the laws of
Gad), are violated, in is a violation
of God's law—tobacco causes thisyio-
lation therefore the use of .tobacco is
sinful, Tobacco is degenerating and
devitalizing, or in other words derriere
lining,. or a pulling down what :the
Lord desires to build up Just to pro-
portion that persons iudulgo in the use
of tobacco do their mental powers be-
come unbalanced, the spiiritualand
moral nature giving place to the low-
er propensities.
1f " Cleanliness is akin to Godliness,
filthiness is akin to wiekeduess. To-
bacco is iujurious physically, .morally,
mentally, financially socially, and cote
sequently spiritually.
The bible declare that our bodies
are the temples of the Liviug God, and,
whosoever defilade these temples, (hod.
will destroy. Let not the tobacco user
think he can escape the penalty.
The Salpet says " if there jos a vice
more prostrating to the body and miud
and more craeifying to all tee sympa-
thies of mau's spiritual nature, it has
yet to be heard of.
Scripture iuforms us that a drunk-
ard shall not enter Heaven, possibly
because of the intoxicating elements
in liquor whieh unbalances his physi
cal and mentatorganization. Tobacco
contains wire,,. by far, of thisintoxicat-
ing element and consequently /honk
jurious, and why should the 'matte -
be less.
In conversing with a prohibitionist a
short time ago, he thought that no per-
son should tudulge iu a social glass
without first asking a blessiug, and if
his couscience would not sanction such
a proceeding he should not iedulge.
As my friend was as fond of his pipe,
as the other of his glass, 1 very .mildly
asked him if he usually asked a bless-
ing when he was about enjoying a,
smoke, but instead of answering he
found that his presence was immediat-
ely required elsewhere.
