Sacrifice Tobacco, Tea, and Coffee

At this time ways were suggested how the believers might financially aid in the Lord’s cause: “All those who are indulging self by using the filthy weed tobacco, should lay it aside, and put their means to a better use. Those make a sacrifice who deprive themselves of some gratification, and take the means they formerly used to gratify the appetite, and put it into the treasury of the Lord.... If all would study to be more economical in their articles of dress, depriving themselves of some things which are not actually necessary, and should lay aside such useless and injurious things as tea and coffee, giving to the cause what these cost, they would receive more blessing here, and a reward in heaven.”-Ibid., page 35.COOD 104.1
