One day as a dear servant of the Lord was walking beside the sea in Nova Scotia he saw a Christian sitting on the beach reading his Bible and smoking a pipe. Going over to the Christian, he said, "I see you are doing one thing the Lord ever did, and one thing the Lord never did." Needless to say this servant of the Lord was referring to the fact that the Lord Jesus as a man down here lived by every word of God; it was His delight; and by it He kept Himself from the paths of the destroyer; but never did He use tobacco.
The Christian who had been addressed quickly seized the import of the remark; after weighing it he took the pipe from his mouth and threw it into the sea. He did not want to do that which the Lord did not do.
