Against Tobacco

Against Tobacco.—Bishop Nicholson, of Milwaukee, has issued a vigorous protest against the use of tobacco by the clergymen of his diocese, which is said to have caused a considerable flutter in the circle of Episcopal ministers. The bishop says: "We have never yet heard any argument in favor of the persistent use of tobacco except that of a purely selfish indulgence. Men whose vocation calls them to a daily crucifixion of the flesh, and who are supposed to be on duty day and night, have no right to use such argument. We have never yet met with a single trace of moral good or spiritual help or physical gain resulting from the use of tobacco, but we have seen untold evils and grave decadence following in its train."

Life Given for Service

God gives life now; but He gives it for service. He who uses life in harmony with God's purpose will form an incorruptible character, and to the incorruptible character will be given an incorruptible body. Immortality is God's seal of incorruptible character.

Personal Relationship With Christ

Church relationship is of God, but that of itself will not save us. Only personal, living relationship with Jesus Christ will avail for salvation now or eternally.
