"THE MORAL YOUNG MAN.
Another Forty Minute Talk that
Set Old Honey Bags to
Thinking.

Not an average audience greeted
Rev. B. F Boiler Sunday night.
Did you ever notice that a little
rain would keep the old man and
many grown children away from
church, while the old lady and one
or two of the girls would 90 if it did
drizzle a little.
On the other hand it
would take nothing less than a
cyclone and a waterspout COM
bined to deter the old man and grown
boys from going to q circus or ward
meeting.
Reader, did you ever notice it!
Well, Sunday night the weather
YVES little threatening and the head
Of the family said {: sit looks like
rain reckon won't attend church
tonight"
And he didn't, but the good old
wife and mother and some OF the girls
and a sprinkling Of the boys got there
at the risk Of their lives.
The old man would not risk his life
50 long as another Sunday night Was
coming.
The "moral young man" was not
in it to any great extent.
We are talking about the Rev.
Boilers sermon now.
He started out about a young man
that was moral whose history is told
in st. Mark X.
The young man told Jesus Christ
that he did nothing naughty as fol-
lows:
D, MT commit adultery.
Do not kill.
Do not steal.
Do not bear false witness.
Do not defraud.
Honor my father and mother.
The young man in Sedalia who
does all the above was not at
the house of God Sunday night.
He was at the house of his best
girl.
Again the "moral young man" was
told that these were all very good but
not enough yet.
"What else" he cried, in accents
Wild?
You are wealthy. you have
riches, you have bank stock,
fair ground stock, electric railroad
stock, Georgetown pike read stock,
Democrat stock and 1000 herds on |
900 hills.
He was Q wealthy young man.
He had jsst Goodies" of money and
he was boarding more every day.
OF couise, dear reader, this did not |
come within three miles of hitting any
3edalia young man.
Hence, he "wasn't in it."
The moral of it was this, the young
nan who was acceptable-a model Of
'ropriety, could not get in on the
,round floor if he worshipred bis money
ind not his Maker, no matter how
moral he was.
He must divide and give to the
,suse Of Christ.
The Bible, Rev. Boiler and the
BAzoO fully agree in this. II
Again the parson quoted THAT K
scripture which says"a rich man can: {
inter heaven any more than can q
amel go through the eye Of a
Well that lets all editors and re- &
'orters in, for none of them are bowed
yer with wealth. II
The speaker then dealt a powerful !
low to the young man who was a I
rodigal aud wonld not pay bis just
ebts.
They were bad medicine.
"Old money bags" got the worse dose
{ any. His soul was so little that
e wOrshipped his money and not his
lester. His mind was so contracted
hat he could not comprehend what '
God square christianity tasted like, G
ence he would be lost. :
He could not 60 where poor news 7
aper editors and reporters are seated :
ound smoking ten cent cigars and q
iscussing the last interview with Sem 4
tor Ingalls,
The sermon was good pulpit litera- r
I'M. Applications very appropriate :,
nd subject matter eYcellent
Next Sunday night the reverend +
entleman will tell Of the "Man who o
ms" y
The answer to this will depend a
ligely upon the game played.
