ga little preacher, ridin' round on
half fare tickets, looks like he wants to
apologize. Brethren, you unman your
preachers, then laugh at them. You say
they are not good fnancieTs. How do
you know? You never give them a

be the coal that furnished the steam;
wanted to give his life TO furnish life TO
the engine.
''The church is like little boat in the
Coosa river. When it wanted TO blow
the whistle it had to stop till it was done
blowing. We have not enough religion
