- oft In, Cd
ton or contempt Hear Will Hays:
"When you hear the little bell in the
steeple on top of our Poorman's meetin'-
house sending forth its cheerful aud in
viting music you may be satisfied it
means, Come to meetin.' When Y u
go, and you see the preacher put on his
specs, open the 'singin' book and
Zine OUT the old familiar hymn:
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
To such worm as 1'-Sing,
you may rest assured that his whole
heart and soul is happy when he sees
poor, needy sinners in that little
meetin' house throw their heads back
and all sing as if the Lord was deaf and
the angels were asleep. When the
man of God says: Let US pray you
mustn't be too proud or stiff to bend your
knees or how your heads in humble PEN
itence, You needn't be afraid of Occu-
plying another mans seat. Ifyou have
no coat go in your shirtsleeves; never let
clothes keep you away. 1t is the soul
that God is after, and not your clothes.
When the doors of that little bethel are
thrown open, they are opened to the
poor as well as the rich, and we want
you to feel that it is your privilege to go
there and enjoy the benefits Of poor
mans meetin' house, and not rich
maH's church.
