raised.
The puritanica idea that anything enjoys is sinful
does not belong to this day and Tobacco taken tenn
peratey is but human Likewise cards and billiards and
horse races boxing conducted under decent environments
regulated by temperance but aids human enjoyment
and entertainment Prohibited they become greater evils
than when regulated
Let us not be too dogmatc little more of the milk of
human kndness-and wen all be able to smile once in
while.
