              Temperance
            
            
              is to be enlarged. Not one gift is to be laid aside. As God’s husbandry
            
            
              and building, man is under His supervision in every sense of the
            
            
              word, and the better he becomes acquainted with his Maker, the
            
            
              more sacred will his life become in his estimation. He will not place
            
            
              tobacco in his mouth, knowing that it defiles God’s temple. He will
            
            
              not drink wine or liquor, for, like tobacco, it degrades the whole
            
            
              being.—
