Consciencel Thank God for every Guilt
vailed, enlightened conscience ON the face of
the earthl But the sahdest sight in this
world Is an outraged conscience that has
been debauched by sin until 1t is dead and

preached heaven and hell-the one topless,
the other bottomless, Not the effeminate
Christianity OF the present day-that God
will not take the righteous to heaven nor send
the wicked 10 hell.

run a mile while we are pulling on our boots.

will put His hand on you and save you.

church up in the wagon. some dancing. some
drinking, some gambling, some swearing,
some going TO the theatre, some fussing. some
praying, some weeping, some shouting, some
tattling, some scolding, and all at times tax
ing a whack at the poor little half-dead
preacher, pulling FOR dear life. Sometimes
