Where is the man with his harp of q
thousand strings! aEI EEl -
The following rich extract Of sermon
loses much Of its humor, because we can
not put in print the sing.sone style and ap-
Propriate gestures that accompany it.
MY friends, sin makes the purtiest young
man Or CONAN in the world ugly ah. And
I'll tell you how / know ali; as was
comm up to church 10 day ali, saw some
men in the road ali. And thought one Of
them the purtiest young man l ever saw in
my life ali. And as drew nigh unto him
l discovered that they were playing NV
marvels, and they all drew nigh unto a
place what they called taw ali, and they
marveled ali. And this purity young man
was the last one TO marvel ah, and when
he marveled, he jumped up and tapped his
hands like a rooster does his wings ali,
and says he, Il wish l may be ID if
| haint fat ali" And oh my friends, then
l thought that was the ugliest young man
l ever saw in my life al. And opened
my mouth and spake unto him thus ali,
says /, young man, this is not the way to
salvation And said he, sold horse, if you
had been salivated as bad as l have, you
wouldn't want to hear talk of salvation. >
And now my friends, when that ar young
man said he was fat, he told lie al, for
he was as lean Is that hungry looking sis.
ter over thar that's always = praying SO
pious while the hat is bein' passed around
ali And my friends. if that young man
hadn't been blinded by sin, he never could
a mistuk me for an old horse ah.'
