I'd rather see family PRAYER than
all of the reviyals.
Oh. my brother. q little honesty
will take you of your knees and
make good Christian Of you.
| never had anything to hide in
my life. / like q man that keeps his
doors open and his windows up.
The trouble with the preaching in
this country is, it is down on the
poor fellow that has get no money.
1t Is right to hope. Hope is the
mileposts on the road of life
You have been singing, Come.
Angel. Bear Ne, and il some of Us
ever get there, angels will have TO
take the job.
When good man dies his head
and shoulders are already in glory,
and his soul gets there before an
angel can fly
| open my eyes at one glance. and
! say that IL the Church OF God will
quit drinking whiskey, We will starve
out half of these bar-rooms in twelve
months.
II ! had few hundred wings be-
Ieve | could sell them out right now
Sister, would you take wings IL
will take more than wings TO get a
large majority Of you to heaven.
II God Almighty will help Us
preachers TO reform the leading PEG
pie Of the State, ii won't take long
10 get these poor people straight
The trouble with them is they are
trying to run on your schedule and
get left.

wouldn't put off on God or his own
conscience anything called PRAYER
that be didn't believe God would
hear and answer right at oHce.
That saying has revolutionized my
prayers.
Some church members are like
railroad trains-they shed all their
light ahead on their own track, and
leave little old blue light hanging
on the rear TO sinners in the dark
Progressive euchrel ! like that
adjective there. Ii means motion to
hell, and some OF you are nearly
there. Progressive euchre' There's
Campbellite Christian with a Bap-
list pillar and q Methodist deacon
sitting down in the house playing
progressive euchre. | wouldn't let
my cook play progressive euchre, be-
cause she's member of the Church,
and she shouldn't sit there and VIC
late her VOWS that way.
Look at the meetings in which
crowds come up about the altar to be
consecrated. II ever there was
farce, it's that. To see crowd pro-
Tossing religion around an altar looks
like you were promising God to do
everything wrong and nothing right.
You take cake and promise to con.
secrate il TO God. You hold it uD
and it looks big and fine, but you
have got the knife up your sleeve all
the while.
Whiskey Oh, | hate it with a
hatred as deep as my nature. Whis-
key Whiskeyl Whiskey, How il is
debauchiEg this world to day and
making widows and making mothers
hearts bleed at every pore. l am
done with it. Thank God Almighty
for the grace that saved me from a
drunksrd's grave and drunkard's
hell. Amen / will praise Him on
earth, and hope to praise Him in
heaven for the grace that has saved
me from this internal curse.

but they had a leap-year party over
here In Plattsburg. and some of the
frogs got too drunk to leap sensa-
ton and they staid all night and
came home sober and jumped next
morning. Their only saving clause
to the thing was. they put rock
candy in IT, Rock candy Well.
the devil would as soon fool would

nineteenth century, IL is time for us
to call a halt with these tight-squeeze
buggies, and these arm. clutch move

start that. You iasy call me an i'm
pure fellow, If you want to, and

God says, "Whosoever will" It's
not whosoever feels. The devil goes
about preaching feeling and God is

he's a candidate.

Rolling into the car-shed. trembling

passengers full of joy. have stood
there I'LL the Air Line. and then the
