STAND By HIS MOTHER
When boy viii give up his mother and run
after Bob lngersoll, he need rot bother about
being religious, for God has made special pro
visions for children and idiots. 50 he will be
taken good care of on that score. I am sorry for
any man who Is SO utterly degraded that he
does not promise himself 70 do better before he
DIES Some people think they have reached
aDsoiute perfection, but their neighbors don't
seem TO think so. One old woman once said to
me, Mr. Jones, if you just quit one thing
YOU'D BE PERFECT MAN
l said I don't want to be- She said, whyg
Why, said, who will associate with around
with in Sacramento il he was a perfect man9
Now is the time to choose. Pharaoh said to-
morrow 7 and the last we heard of him he was
at the bottom of the Red Sea There is not
drunkerd or liar in this town who could not
straigten up if he chose, but
YOU WOULD FEEL so UNNATURAL
For day or two that you would have to feel in
your pockets to identity yourselves. In Los An
geles we held meeting for the 6. A. r., and
with 5000 or 5000 men alone in that immense
hall we had reserved seats for the veterans, and
many of these gallant old soldiers came up and
protessed Christ. An Old veteran, y years of
age and blind, made his first profession at that
nme We had over thousand converts alone
on reserved seats az one meeting and over l. 400
gave their names in 10 the churches have
quit asking you if you believe. II I were
cur biliousness, and you said on ny prescrib-
ing calomel you would take il, but didu't be-
lieye in its efficacy, and l could get about ten
grains down you, I'd make you believe Some
of these prea6 hers have told
THESE LITTLE INFIDEIs,
If you don't believe this, that or the other,
there is no chance for you. God knows your
little old heads have been the stamping grounds
for the devil all your lives. God says give me
your heart and if you will do it he VIII pull the
KINKS OUT OF YOUR HEADS
Before breakfast the next morning Some of
a monkey show God bless you, if don't make
this the most serious monkey show that ever
you come too since you were born, and to call
man monkey and then come here to hear him
IN such crowds is no reflection on me, but il is
DEATH on THE CROWDS
You say: Well, like what you say. but
don't like the way you say it." Well, God bless
you, have got patent on the way say it :;
that's what's the matter. You'll never get yonr
families to be religious until YOU set them the
example. You remind ne of one of -fsops ia
bles, where the old crawfsh said 10 his son ::
Son, let me see you crawl fsrward,' and the
little crawfish said: Father, first let me see
you crawl foFwsrdr You old '49ers are big
hearted and would go into your pocket to helm
needy friend but there is your boy, who viii
be a gambler or drunkard, what about him ~
The speaker then cited an instance of yester
day, a. he left the meeting. Two well-dressed
young men, who had just left the hall from
hearing him preach, were discussing the cues
ton as 10 whether they should
GO AND PLAY PoKEfsoR EUcHRE.
And they decided to play poker, and he advised
fathers and mothers to look out for and pray for
their boys and girls. You old fellows why do
you come out OF saloons wiping your lips aud
the- tell your boys not TO drink LIQUOR You
o'd red-noSed hypocrticsl rascals you go down
here and gamble until ell hours of the night
and then expect you boys to be honest citizens.
GAMBLERS son WILL BECOME A GAMBLER.
And drunkard's son a drunkard, as sure as
you live Mr.. Jones then narrated an incident
OF the reformation OF prominent Southern
Representative, and as a result. the reformation
OF his son from dissolute habits 81 am not
here to abuse any man; there is not q bar
tender or gambler that 1 would not 90 down on
my knees aad pray might have as good a home

OFF OF TILE HEADS OF FAMILIES.
I never ask ~ man to agree with me; only
want you to get the idea into your ncggin.
that's all ! ask" He then called attention to
the stalwart character of John the Baptist who
after he was put in prison would not give up
his belief, even if he did not get ort until the

pleased with the way l put things, and ] don't

shooting off your old mouth; get out, that's a
good idea. If you can say anything worse of me
than can say of YOU, just sail in. If there is
