In my church who sent her daughter
to dancing school I'd turn the hypo-
critical mother out of my church
Please say Amen won't you? (Amen,
amen, is cried amidst laughter and ap-
Iplause.) If l had daughter a little
weak up here Gaping his head) I'd
send her to dancing school and train
her feet and marry her to ballroom
dude. I'd buy little farm and put
them there. A person having q pas
sionate feeling for dancing is not all
there. (Laughter.) If you don't in
tend to repent, dance all YOU can, have
all the fun you want here, for in hell
it will be too warm for much fun. Is
there anything impure in dancing? A
Catholic priest told me in New York
that the confessional had revealed to
him that nineteen out oftwehty women
who had lost their virtue traced
that loss to the ballroom. If you
young bucks there want to whip any
body, that priests the one for you to
jump on. Pm down forever on the
ballroom. The german mind
don't mean the German race-but the
dance. A lady told me she went for
the purpose of seeing what german
was, and she said, german is moth

HUGGINe BET TO MUs SIC.
THE boy was about right when he
was asked to dance the german. No,
said he, let's sit right here and hug
l like his grit Hear me. Every good.
pure woman in this world has one good
friend in Sam Jones, (applause), and
would build wall mile high around
every pure girl in this country. Gap

put his arm around my wife or daugh-
ter, and as gentleman l won't make
any advances towards another man 8
wife or daughter that l would not like
a gentleman to make to mine. Young
ladies, be pure before God, and don I
let any man touch you.
o"Now go away If you choose, and
say that l haven't been half raised and
don't know anything about society,
and you will go away and tell great
big lie. No man ever had d purer and
a better father, and my mother on her
dying bed had me repeat after her,
| Now lay me down TO sleep, pray
the Lord my soul to keep, f should
die before wake, l pray the Lord my
soul TO take" (Here the speaker S
voice quavered, as it always does when
he alludes to his mother, and many OF
his hearers were moved to tears. }
Continuing he said: You may rack
around and say Pm an ignoramus, but
Iyou'll get left there old fellow What
ever mistakes maAe in grammar put
them down to JOnes's meanness, not
to his want of education. Besides,

butchered grammar better than with

You must quit all your sins, for the
devil is too much of gentleman to
stay where he amt wanted. Now for

If some one had told me i nat Brother
Thomas had stolen my pocket book,
would say he could not DIP it. No
that he would not have been allie, bu
THAT his intentions and purposes were
mot that way. You live on the corner
and merchant lives below you, anG
he trusts you, and when yd u buy som,
coffee from him he don't mark it OF
his blotter, for he knows you'll pa,
him in the morning. When you sc
a mans purposes all right and he be

angel begins to pull it down, Coz
says don't do that, he will
repent in a. moment. That
what it means. Get the fruit:
