I ask you to look at the influence of tobacco upon the _health_, _wealth_, _morals_, and _lives_ of this republic; and then to decide, as in the fear of God, whether the blood of souls may not be found on your garments, if you do not _abstain_ yourselves from all common use of this drug, and warn every man around you to do likewise.[A] Suffer us to point you to Him who went about doing good, and pleased not himself, and set a pure and perfect example in everything; and also to that early servant of his, who would abstain from things good and lawful, rather than prejudice the interests of Zion.
