Il
Joness Tobacco Habit.
Rev. DR.. Chaffee of Minneapolis preached
the morning sermon at Red Rock camp meet
ing. Before opening the service he expressed
3 wish that as many of the people as possible
would attend the camp meeting about to open
at Waseca He hoped there would be no idea
of antagcnism between the two camp meet
Jugs Mr. Chaffee took for his text Even so
every good tree bringeth forth good fruit"
and he preached an interesting sermon. In
he course of his remarks he said: Conversion
does not change persons constitution,
but grace will enable him to
lead a Christian life a good imam will lead a
good life in spite of the accident of previous
habit. l should forgive man who sins as
long as he truly repents. but | think he
ought not to live that kind OF q life. l be-
lieve divine grace can cure drunkenness
And what can cure drunkenness is d mighty
good cure for tobacco. i do not wish it to
disparage Brother Jones. who uses tobacco.
He lives down there in Georgia where
THEY TAKE TOBACCO
as they take milk. Both men and women use
it, l think when he attends few more
Minnesota camp meetings and gets the BEN
eft of our climate. and our conscience on
the subject he will quit his pipe as he has
his quid. Until then let us be charitable.
/ speak for a fair Interpretation of
mems lives. There is no man so perfect
that he will at not times do something to
shade his reputation and call for charity.
Rev. Dr. Wagner of Minneapolis preached
at2:30. He said: have some new and novel
reasons 10 give why we should become Chris
tians First you must be in hart1any with
the spirit of the age. We can discover this
spirit in what is denounced. We notice err
rors rather than virtues. We may also dis
cover the spirit of the age in the public press.
The press is not particularly favorable to
Christianity, but it denounces dishonesty
Col tI,-b mr. nr1Div md NTH
TO denounce these is to commend their OPP
positeS. Denouncing these and doing the oppo-
siteis NOT far from Christianity. Hence, if we
meet the demands raised by the secular press,
we must be Christians. If n man considers
the questions of life, obligation and death.
he cannot lie satisfied without being Il Chris
tian l cannot understand how there can be
place of repentance after this God help
LIS to have absolute certainty. Philosophy,
science and the Bible all testify that Chris
tianity is the only thing that can save.
