Tho st. Louis Conferences Held at Kirk
wood-Discussion of the Tobacco HABIT
The Appointments.
The ST. Louis conference OF the Southern
Methodfsts, held at Kirkwood, proved quite IN
teresting Several new presiding elders Were
appointed, and it is charged that there was Just
"a little log rolling" at the conference ana tnas
hand shaking was quite lively.
The most intere sting discussion was In REGARD
to the tobacco habit. Several OF the brethren
who do not smoke were in favor OF resolution
putting stop to the tobacs o habft-smok1ARa as
wen chewing-but others who loved the
weed. and who had smoked with such fathers az
Bishop Marvin. rallied their forces and smoked
out the opposition by a vote of 62 to %.
During his remarks on the subject DR.. Gar
radine said: "As ministers Of God We should
practice what we preach. Tobacco is an un-
clean thing. - Brethren can not conceive
OF my Lord with a cigar in His mouth"
Dr.. Werlein said there was no question OF
morality involved in the matter. and he was IN
favor Of leaving it where God had left it.
Presiding Elder T. NJ Finney. addressing
his remarks in the direction of DR.. Cara
dine. intimated that all this discussion about
the evil Of tobacco had been directed at him
personally. He did not propose to be made q
slave to the whims Of a few men whose tastes
happened to differ from his. He said he had
learned to smoke at Methodist conference
years Of age. If this course was to be
adopted the obituaries of some OF the
best men OF the church would have
to be re- written. He could prove by Scrip
ture that spare-ribs and sausage were un-
clean. Said he: Il have a mind to intro
duce resolution forbidding the wearing OF q
mustache. claim that it is unclean. because
it dips into your food, especially soup, when
you eat, and pollutes the communion cup"
DR.. Carradine replied to Dr.. Finney by say
ing he had worn a mustache for twenty years.
but would sacrifice it willingly If by SO doing
he could convert Brother Finney from the to-
bacco Eabit.
