earth" Unfortunately, between the
time Sunday school was called to order

A certain minister was deeply
pressed by an address on the evils OF
smoking given at a recent synod. He
rose from his seat, went over to a fell

Brother, this morning I received a
present of 100 good cigars. I have
smoked one of them, but now I'm going
home and burn the remainder in the
fire.
