A vice is an unnatural act that deteriorates the physical, mental and moral machinery of man.

Vices reduce man to an unbalanced idiot, in which condition he cannot even recognize himself as such. So as men are comparable to themselves, and if the majority of them are idiots, then they announce themselves as sane and wise.

Ifa man puts sand in the carburetor of the engine that furnishes power to make an automobile run and the machine will not work, the average man who understands autos will denounce him as being insane.

But if the majority of men are drunkards and they see the same man put whiskey into his stomach which stops his reasoning faculties from working they pronounce him as being sane for doing it.

Now, in the sight of GOD any man who wrecks his own body and mind through the use of false materials is an unnatural idiot, whether everybody else is addicted to such degraded vice or not.

There is a reason why human beings become idiots. It is because their minds are not strong enough to control the different functions of their bodies.

The dilapidating Disorgs will get possession of a function of the mental system through the weakness of the mind. Then, one by one, they will take possession of other functions until the mind has lost all control over them and the body staggers about like a ship without a pilot.

A bit of wisdom has made man the most ludicrous of all animals.

One may hunt the world over but can find no other animal strutting around with a lighted pipe or cigarette stuck in its mouth and using its mouth to suck in and blow out smoke during the operation. But there are men and women who actually believe they are talented by conducting themselves in such a grotesque manner.

Minute particles from smoke sucked in at the mouth are drawn into the lungs and get into the blood streams and finally saturate every cell and tissue of the body. The poison overpowers the Menorgs who cannot do their work properly and the entire mental system breaks down. Thus not only has the WILL of man been weakened but in time he becomes a nervous wreck that is pitiful to behold.

It is worse for women to “smoke" than men because a mother must feed the mental system of her offspring from her own blood, as it grows from a microscopic seed to the newborn infant.

Abnormalities in sex relationship are terrible destroyers of the mental system and such vices must be avoided by human beings who would become strong enough to live a natural and useful life.

Gluttony is a vice that wrecks the WILL of man and shortens the number of years he should remain upon earth to perform his natural obligations.

Nature makes pleasant those duties man must perform to live and multiply, but man degrades himself and throttles the usefulness of posterity by over indulgence and abnormal practices known as vices, and, according to the law of reaction no one can escape the penalties of their deteriorating acts.
