A Presiding Elder of one of the largest
and most popular churches in the United
States is on trial at Dayton, before a
church committee, for drunkenness, and
insulting women on the streets. Here is
an item of news in the case, which shows
that he was ruined by the devils first
weapon, tobacco:
He ceased chewing tobacco some months ago,
and lost his taste tor it,, and he made the mis-
take of not giving God the glory for the victory
over it; he soon regained the appetite for to-
baccO recommended its use, but tried to hide it,
deceiving his friends by swallowing the saliva
when in company. He again determined to
quit the use of tobacco, and set Thanksgiving G
Day, tapering off in the OF it up to that day.
On Thanksgiving night he had symptoms of
delirium tremens, and suffered terribly was
threatened with chills and was quite i'll pre-
pared a four ounce bottle of whisky, in which
when ON the way to Dayton in the train, he ex-
hausted the contents of the bottle, but did not
improve; on the contrary, he felt miserable.
When the devil once gets the boy to
using tobacco, he rests contented. His
mortgage is acknowledged, witnessed and
recorded, and foreclosure comes when he
desires. Strong drink follows as a mat
ter of course, and hence here is another
matter of history in this case of Elder
Stevenson:
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette:
DAYTON, Dec. 49,
We have just learned an incident in the early
life of James Stevenson, recently deposed from
the ministry, which will serve to lift the veil OF
mystery from his recent escapade. 1t has per
picked many persons that man who had, by
his intelligence, culture, zeal, proved his useful
ness in the Church and in society for nearly
twenty years, should sacrifice Everything in
one drunken spree, and no one could realize it.
We have the best authority for stating that
when young man Mr.. Stevenson was addict
ed to liquor drinking, and that he was very
dissipated. He was incidentally brought under
religious Influences at Richmond, Ind, where
he then resided, was awakened and converted
and s'snatched as brand from the burning,
so to speak. His reformation was thorough
he evinced unusual talent as religious speak
er, and admitted to the ministry in the
course of time, and developed remarkable gifts
as q preacher. His fatal mistake was in tasting
spirits, awakening the ruinous appetite for it.
and finding himself powerless to resist it, The
first step led to the terrible misfortune which
overcame and overwhelmed the unfortunate
man. What followed the first taste was as g
matter of course, and he was powerless to pre-
vent it. Persons who have never had a raven
appetite for strong drink can not exercise
proper charity for Mr.. Stevenson.
