For Il young mani resolve from
this day never again TO smoke n pipe

recommended. The practice against

ment Is rcprehcnsiblc In the highest
degree. Smoking, while Of course It
might be a solace to you during the
sermon, could not but annoy your
neighbors and fellow worshipers. The
men envy you, leading to countless
domestic difficulties for them. The
preacher Is unable to see whether all
the deacons are awake or not by the
haze from your pipe. Moreover, Just
