The Moral Question About Tobacco
Prof. H. A. Youtz of oberlin, Applies Christian Principle
o Personal Conduct

Prof. Youtz in recent sermon
took as his texts2 Corinthians 4:i8.
THE things which are seen are
temporal, hut he things which are
unseen are eternal and spoke Of
relative values. We quote the fol-
lowing extract:
Let me cite two worldwide prob
lens, with local illustrations OF our
reaction 10 a moral situation. First,
the change in the smoking rule in
the college did not, | judge, express
a changed attitude on the part OF the
faculty toward the smoking habit.
II only expressed the judgment that
the changed conditions made il wise
10 deal With the problem in a differ
ont way. That there is a moral
problem involved is evidenced from
the arguments concerning the
waslcfulnoss unhealth.uin' -. lllt' l.
ness, selnshness Of the habit. have
read and heard most Of the argu-
mcnts, suppose, together with the
slogans of Freedom" indepen-
dcnce' and the appeal to the uni
versal habit and the accusations OF
harrowness of the non-smokers.
Hacked up by the tobacco compan-
YES, by the appeal Of the habit, and
ny the power OF nicotine, these ar
guments can be woHked successfully,
as the worse dressed up TO pass for
the better reason. But none OF
these arguments see clearly the
issue that makes morality always a
commanding thing in life. All Of
these arguments mean I'VE want TO
smoke" And since that's the goal
OF the argument, IL makes little
difference what arguments you use,
50 that they are giving reasonable
form and reach the desired goal.
Suppose instead of formulating
moral reasons TO win a debate, a
man puts up this proposition TO his
own soul: want TO be like Christ
~ my moral mastery and in my abil-
ity TO seize the main issue and be
loyal b il. Self-mastery always
comes by discipline, not by self
indulgence.
II a man thus carries the argu-
ment TO the heroic stage, he is in
sight Of the main issue. Self-disci-
pine is enobling: self-indulgence is
degrading: il impairs the fine moral
temper, and dulls the cutting edge
and makes for "softness." Chris.
would say 1T destroys your soul,
and it does destroy moral fiber. You
cannot imagine Christ making a de-
cision that involved self-indulgence,
and then sophisticating himself with
such arguments as are current TO-
day. Self-indulgence is TO that ex-
tent. loss OF self-control The mas
terry is gone and Christ never let
the mastery pass out Of his hands
Isn't this the main issue for one who
would be thorough-going in his
ethics?
II is said Of a distinguished man
" affairs that "he once smoked a
cigar and found il so delicious that
he never smoked again." Psychology
hacks up ethics here. William
James says Keep the faculty OF con-
uol alive in you by a little gratu-
itous exercise every day. That is

ais come from both candidates, with

difficult to see how any candidate can

Emir Feisel, who lately proclaimed
himself king of Syria. looms as an adj
junct in a class with D'Annunzio, Mus
tapha Renal and other trouble max
ers. Self-determination for Syria is
not only his fetish. but he is for the
complete independence Of the coun-
try; wishes both French and British
troops sent home at once, and all
zones OF influence by other nations
abolished. His activities and the
working out of his designs are being
watched by the Jews of the world, as
complete fulfillment OF his program
would render impossible the establish
ment of the proposed Zion nation.
Mustapha Renal, nationalist leader In
Turkey, continues his campaign to stir
up feeling against Christians In Asia
Minor. In recent proclamation he
deposes the sultan as chief of the Mos
lem world, and raises call to arms
throughout Islam. Fortunately his in
fluence is not general as yet, but there
is no denying the fact that he is an
important factor, with a strong fol-
lowing in Turkish politics and grow
ing ability to create antagonism to the
allies and all Christians.

cinity suffered heaviest, with Georgia
next in the number of casualties. The
storm was not only unusual in the
area covered, but in the shifting Of
the centers of intensity and the fact
that Ii visited regions which were con-
sidered ordinarily immune from such
dangers. The latter was especially
true In the vicinity of Lake Michigan,
where scientists have always claimed
the existence OF such a body of water
neutralized the menace of severe wind
storms. Another freak of the storm
which has affected scientific theories
and established a new precedent was
its coming so early In the year Such
visitations In the United States had
before been almost exclusively con-.
fined to summer months and generally
followed severely hot weather. The
late demonstration is regarded as one
of the vagaries Of the month Of March.

the prospect of rather chaotic condi-
lions in regard to time reckoning and
many consequent dilemmas. New

hour ahead OF Chicago and other mid
western points, by the adoption OF
daylight saving becomes two hours
ahead. Communities which turn the
clock ahead one hour win be that
much at variance in time with others
