Will probably last two weeks longer. The

claimed that the dry weather in which they
ripen gives them an advantage in the long

"Why people don't laugh He
replied, Intelligence don giggle !"

Suppose your son gets religion,
brother, like you've got it, he'd have
religion with a yengence, wouldn't he?
Sister, if your daughter were to get
religion like you've got it, wouldnt t
she turn the town over?
There are two examples or models
in every town that lave bad effects.
One is the church member who will
pay whenever he is asked, will go to
church on Sunday but won't pay his
debts. The other is sinner who
don't belong to the church, but who
pays every dollar he owes, gives free
ly to charitable purposes and is gen
orally respected. The sinner comes
along and looks at the two and
says, I'D rather be that other fel-
low"
Some church members are like the
trains on the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga Rliload-they shed all their
light on their own track and leave a
blue little old light hanging on the
the rear to the sinners out in the
dark.
