TOBACCO AND PREACHERS.
The general conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. South, in sear
sion at Birmingham, has had presented
to it a petition largely signed by wo
men of the Holston conference asking
for a rule requiring young preachers
to pledge themselves not to use to
bacco.
These petitioners mean well, and are
therefore to be criticised gently and
generously. They feel that they will
have accomplished something of last
ing benefit to their church and the
cause of Christianity if they can cause
it to be said to every young man who
would enter the Southern, Methodist
pulpit, "You must not smoke, or you
shall not preach.”
Why should not a preacher use to
bacco? Is it Blnfui? It It is, is it not
sinful to eat or drink anything or to
do anything, not absolutely essential
to the maintenance of the human sys
tem in health and strength and the
performance of what may be consid
ered our bounden duty?
And this brings us to the point of
demarkatlon between a religion that
Is cheerful and a religion that is noL
For our part we believe in the cheer
ful kind. We believe that the Creator
made the world a bright, beautiful and
smiling place, intending that man
should enjoy the brightness and beau
ty, not Ignore It. Nature Is full of the
wonderful, the glorious, the Inspiring.
Its effect upon the mind of man is up
lifting, and he is inevitably cheered
rather than deptbssed by txmtediplat-
tog what be sees about him. -We see
nothing in the great open book of na
ture Which can be interpreted as
Warning to man that he is not to be ft
cheerful oreature, and enjoy the bright
and beautiful world given him for a
home.
It ts a great mistake to InveBt relig
ion with that which will cause it to
appear cold, cheerless and forbidding.
That attitude of churches and sects re-
polB too many who come to the doors
and peep Interestedly in, and it will
continue to handicap religion as long
as the world lives and moves. The
cry is going up in many quarters that
there are too few young men offering
for the ministry, und church authori
ties assert that the Lord’s work is lan
guishing at home and abroad because

the letters shown, many of them gave
"testimonials” to salesmen of the
Standard Oil trust
These "testimonials” said that it
wduld be advisable for church attend
ants to listen to the persuasions of the
salesmen, and then buy only the Rock
efeller product
This evidence of widespread pur
chase of ministers came through testi
mony of an Ohio witness. It struck
at representatives of every faith—
Protestant and Catholic. Letters
signed by the ministers were In the
possession of Attorney F. S. Monnett,
who gathered them as a remarkable
coup on the oil trust reports,
In this day of "muckraking,” trust
building and trust smashing (we
haven’t seen much of the latter, how
ever), Is there to be no limit to the
assaults upon personal and profes-
slonal character by the press?
If the above doesn’t amount to a
wholesale slander of the Christian
ministry of the country, then Chris
tianity Is at a low ebb, and our relig
ious Institutions muBt Indeed be In a
bad way In this boasted Christian land

This Is but an Incident, but ns such it
should be carefully noted and turned
to profitable account by our legislative
church bodies. • It gives a strong hint
of tho cause of the shortage of minis
terial material.

the country doubts, and that the Inter
state Commerce Commission couid
And It If it made an honest effort to do
so does not admit of reasonable doubt;
but this attack upon the ministry is
giving n direction to the investigation
of the Oil Trust now going on under
the guise of official authority a turn
that Is absolutely pitiful. Instead of
going after the real offenders and in
vestigating those who deal ,!n the pro
ducts of the Oil Trust and profit by It
at the expense ot the consuming pub
lic, the pitiful effort is made to make
Investigators are not after the real of-1
fenders. It reminds us ot the sheriff j
of a county or the chief ot police of a j
city, who, when moved by a wave of
reform in the community, starts out to
break up gambling and passes right
by a regular gambling den or poker
room and goes out into the suburbs
and pulls a bunch of negroes' for
throwing craps.
The Christian ministry needs no de
fense at the hands of The Herald, and
it was not the primary purpose of thiB
article, to attempt to make one, but it
may be said in conclusion that as a
class or as a profession the men of
“the cloth” in this country are, as a
rule, men of high moral character,
living and laboring more for others
than for themselves and deserving
more at the hands of their fellow-men
than most of them get. And as for
this Chicago story about the wholesale
bribery of ministers by the Standard
Oil Company, we Just don’t believe it
The lives of 999 out of every 1,000
Catholic priests and Christian minis
ters that we have ever known give
the lie to it.

BECOMING
A Mother
Is an ordeal which all
women approach with
indescribable fear, for
nothing compares with
the pain and horror of
child-birth. The thought
of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother
of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
have, found that the use of Mothers Friend during pregnancy robs Lt - Savannah
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific Jiniment is a god-send to ail women at the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother’s Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use
gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents “morning
sickness,” and other dis
comforts of this period.
