BIBLE<br />

A CONFERENCE ON THE TOBAC­<br />

CO HABIT.<br />

What was called a "Conference on<br />

the Tobacco Habit" was held Tuesday<br />

night, Nov. '11, in the Allegheny Covenanter<br />

Church, at the solicitation of<br />

the Rev. "WilUam J. Coleman, the pastor.<br />

Quite a number of ministers and<br />

a large audience of men and women<br />

took ipart. While tobicco generally<br />

•was often alluded to,it was what one<br />

speaker characterized as "that pass<br />

key to perdition," the cigarette, that<br />

came iu for the most ferocious of the<br />

attacks and the roostappalling statistics<br />

were piled around this industry—<br />

both as to manufacture and consumption.<br />

Five ministers, two medical<br />

men, one woman and several other<br />

clergymen who prayed and led the<br />

devotional part of the "conference,"<br />

took part in the onslaught.<br />

The hall of the church had a large<br />

canvas fresco that showed the 33<br />

firms, with nation-wide reiputations,<br />

that will not employ a cigarette smoker.<br />

This was the only object le-sson.<br />

Mrs. "W. R. Porter, State superintendent<br />

of the department of narcotics of<br />

the "Women's Christian Temperance<br />

Union, read the Pennsylvania laws<br />

against the use of cigarettes by minors<br />

and compared them with thos-^ of<br />

other States, especially that of Kansas,<br />

which is most stringent.<br />

Dr. Coleman thought that the<br />

Church ought to be in advance of the<br />

State, hence the conference. Dr. G.<br />

M. Shillito, of the Northside, told of<br />

the results from the continued use of<br />

tobacco. While admitting that nicotine<br />

is a poison he said: "You cannot<br />

kill some men, but the one who abstains<br />

from tobacco, is the better<br />

man."<br />

Dr. D. B. "Willson Martin told of the<br />

Immediate effects of tobacco on the<br />

human body, and said; "I was not at<br />

flrst convinced that the cigarette Is<br />

more deadly than other forms of<br />

smoking, but now I am convinced. Notice<br />

a wet match that has been lighted<br />

and see the moisture going rapidly<br />

back along the wood as the flame<br />

advances. In the same way, with the<br />

cigarette, the deadly nicotine Is driven<br />

into the smoker's mouth to be<br />

absorbed by his entire system. Nicotine,<br />

in a 1 per cent solution, is one<br />

of the best germicides we have and<br />

one might as well be absorbing small<br />

quantities of that favorite poison, bichloride<br />

of mercury. I have found<br />

that the average cigarette smoker is<br />

eleven and a half years of age."<br />

Rev. John C. Slater, of the Geneva<br />

Reformed Presbyterian Church, Beaver<br />

Falls, Pa., S'POke on the selfishness<br />

of the habit. "Everybody," he said,<br />

"has the God-given right to pure air<br />
