TOBACCO.
As the use of tobacco is a filthy
habit, ignoring the golden maxim of Wesley, that "Cleanliness is next
to godliness," and the requirements of St. Paul, "Let us cleanse
ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh." As it is an expensive
indulgence, costing consumers on an average $20 each per year, or
$500 in twenty-five years, and costing consumers in the United States
not less than $100,000,000 annually, leaving that much less in the
world to benefit our race, and violates the precept of Mr. Wessley :
" Gain all you can--give all you can," and of St. Paul: "As ye have
opportunity do good unto all men." As its use debilitates both body
and mind, produces a nervous irritability, exhausts the vital forces
and thus shortens life, which brings men to judgment before their
time in the very violation of the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill."
As Christian Ministers are regarded and should be in fact the living
exponents of morality and religion, they should be the embodiment of
whatsoever things are pure, lovely, and of good report, and an error
on their part, either in faith or practice, may produce evils whose
magnitude and extent eternity alone can unfold. And as many of our
preachers persist in the use of tobacco and thus cast their influence
in favor of this curse to humanity, therefore,
Resolved, That a reform in
this regard is demanded by the genius of our church and the purity of
the gospel. That we will not receive on trial in this Conference any
man, without a pledge from him that he will refrain entirely from the
use of tobacco or snuff. That we will not receive into full
connection any man who persists in the use of tobacco. That we
earnestly recommend all our preachers within the bounds of this
Conference to inculcate the spirit of these resolutions both by
precept and example. That these resolutions should be appended to and
form a part of the standing rules of this Conference.

The following was passed at the
anniversary of the Conference Missionary Society.
Resolved, That, believing in
the final triumph of the glorious cause of missions, we will use our
best efforts to advance our missionary collections one hundred per
cent.
