Use back agin 'mongst your honest cul-

understan' wat IL was all about, and sat
all day In de front seat ob de gallery, ,wld
my pencil an paper, ready to put down
de date oh de millenDarum but some
how de speaker missed 1t, or sed 1t so
low didn't catch 1t. An now, Use
sorry to say dat don't know no more
bout 1t dan / did fore / went, an

'em had his own way oh flxin' up de
matter, till at lass / began TO tlnk dat
dere wouldn't be much ob percession
after all, an dat wat little dere was

correct, your pastor may be called to a
bigger church an bigger salary. Brud-

in de air his congregation will be left
benin to get long de bess way dey can.
He's ben preachin' wild all his mite,
haint took no vacation, an nebber

still he haint done no good. His con-
gregation is goin' to stay whar dey be

specks to git de call.
DE day am comm wen de culleret

Take up big collection an glib you
