Confrontation
If the faculties of the mind were in healthful vigor professed Chris-
tians would discern the inconsistency of such worship. Like Nadab and
Abihu, their sensibilities are so blunted that they make no difference
between the sacred and common. Holy and sacred things are brought
down upon a level with their tobacconized breaths, benumbed brains,
and their polluted souls, defiled through indulgence of appetite and
passion. Professed Christians eat and drink, smoke and chew tobacco,
and become gluttons and drunkards, to gratify appetite, and still talk
of overcoming as Christ overcame!
