Antitobacco and Temperance Message

We prayed with him, and after we left him we wrote to him and
later visited him again. He finally reached the point where he gave
himself to God, and he is becoming the very pillar of the church in
the place where he lives. He is working with all his soul to bring
his relatives to a knowledge of the truth.—

Victory Through Faith—In this work all classes will be reached.
When the Holy Spirit works among us, souls who are unready for
Christ’s appearing are convicted. Many come to our meetings and are
converted who for years have not attended meetings in any church.
The simplicity of the truth reaches their hearts. The tobacco devotees
sacrifice their idol, and the liquor drinker his liquor. They could not
do this if they did not by faith grasp the promises of God for the
forgiveness of their sins. The truth as it is in the Word comes before
high and low, rich and poor, and those who receive the message become
workers with us and with God, and a strong force is raised up to labor
harmoniously. This is our work.—
