more practical all we have to do is to
apply our christian knowledge, enlarge
on the subject, give object lessons by
means of pictures, &c. Give a tenn
perance lesson on the liquor or tobacco
habit. If the young ladies Of this
country would take and keep pledge
not to associate with young men using
them it would render void the necessity
OF pledging young men not to use them.
One. of Christ's principal missions on
earth was to illustrate to us practical
Christian work. He selected the poor,
the needy, and the infrm as his sub
lects, dispensing kind words on every
hand, healing on all sides, not afraid Of
being contaminated by those about
him. Secluded only when he went to
pray which is a great lesson to US.
