Why not? 11 it is best to stop at all, put on the brakes at once. Why ? Because you are on a down grade, and the longer thedelaythe greater the momentum ; hence if you ever succeed in shopping, it will be increasingly difficult. “ But why should I stop ?” Be cause you have a habit that is wrong, or at best inexpedient. It may seem to your unwilling scrutiny only an indulgence. Very well, it is an indulgence that roots back into the old life of selfishness and carnality. It is not safe to link your spirituality in yoke fellowship so questionable. The spiritual mind never breathes the air of tiue Gospel freedom while the shackles of old selfishness are upon it. Therefore, stop now ! Smoke no more; chew no more; diink no more pwwearno more ; “cheat rwr more; be gluttonous no long-r Kill lustfulness.
