to understand something of that plan

There are times and conditions

that Whisky, Tobacco and Coffee are

that more human misery is caused by
coffee and tobacco than by whisky, for
the two first are more widely used,
and more hidden and insidious in the
effect on nerves, heart and other vital
organs, and are thus unsupported un-
til much of the dangerous work Is
done.
Now, Reader. what is your opinion
as to the real use the Creator has for
these things? Take a look at the
question from this point of view.
There is a law of Nature and of
Natures God that things slowly evolve
from lower planes to higher, a sturdy
steady and dignified advance toward
more perfect things in both the Physi-
cal and Spiritual world. The ponder
oTs tread of evolutionary development
is fixed by the Infinite and will not be
QuiCkCncd out of natural law by any
Of mans methods.
Therefore we see many illustrations
showing how nature checks too rapid
advance. Illinois raises phenomenal
crops Of corn for two or three years
II she continued to do so every year
| her farmers would advance in wealth
far beyond those Of other sections or
countries. So Nature nterposes a bar
every three or four years and brings
| on bad year"
Here we see the lcvcling influence
at work.
