Now since these are the facts, Be
rca College cannot do otherwise than
IT, prohibit the use of tobacco among

Bcrra any except those who are alb

The Habit Grows and Enslaves.

Two other things must also be-
remembered. FIRST, the tobacco
habit grows ~ power So that man
who at thirty l. able to smoke
moderately and stop. by the tim"
he l. forty has become Il slave and
uses tobacco more constantly than
he ever expected he would.
In the second place. tobacco
leaves a man weak m various pla-
cc~ against the time when some dis
ease or accident may uNeriakc him.
General Grant had used tobacco
reasonably up to the capture of
Fort Donaldson Some of the news
paper men reported that he fought
that battle So calmly that he scarce

already affected by tobacco.

To Those Who Act as Tempters


There are those in Bcrca, and
perhaps in this very room, who act
n attorneys for the devil, who
tempt young men Ia break their
high resolutions and submit Ia the
slavery of this poison. Do YOU
realize what you are doing? How
can a business man afford tn make
"A penny selling five cents worth of
tobacco to a half grown boy? |
believe our merchants, when We
call their attention Ia It. will all of
them make the resolution that
most of them have already and say,
We viii sell no tobacco Ia stu
dents or Ia minors" And | believe
that those men and boys who in a
kind of spirit of mischief put tobac-
co in the faces of those who are
trying to abstain will realize how
devilish their work is and stop it,

selves from the habit. let ms not be

second. Make the strongest resell
ution that you absolutely will live
without tobacco day after day I'M
til the very desire for it is dead.

Third Control your thoughts. Do
not be- where tobacco is used or
where you will he reminded of it.
Fourth, Fiji your mind with coun-
ter-allractlonS be busy with your
studies, your high ambitions, the
friendship of those who are pure.
And. nth. when YOU have done
these things for Yourself, ask God
