Tobacco or AntI.Tobacco.

The following article was handed to
us with a request topublish:
The following paper was laid on the
table by a vote of fifty-eight against
forty-nine. Possibly it would have been
adopted but for a speech Of the bishop,
in violation OF parliamentary rule, in
favor OF laying it on the table.
Whereas, We believe the Incorporate
use of tobacco is hurtful to the bodies.
minds and morals of men, and is dis
tasteful and unpleasant 10 many good
people; and
Whereas, Our boys believe they ought
TO pattern their lives after their preach
ers, which they ought in all good
things; and
Whereas, Many mothers do not wish
Their sons to become addicted to this
habit; and
Whereas, Some of our preachers desc
crate the Lords house by smoking
therein, y many by smoking around
the doors thereof:
Therefore, Resolved. That we request
our preachers, who must use the weed.
to use 1t temporarily and, as far as
practical, privately and never in the
house of the Lord:
Also, That we believe it would be
better for our young preachers to refrain
entirely from the perniciOus habit.
