Congregational church.
judges, bankers, railroad official:
newspaper men, mechanics, laborer
and policemen were present and alto
gether there was an immense congre
cation within the sanctuary.
Rev. Boiler always can get an 6 udi
ence but more especially when hi
subject is about murder or some Grim
worse and if it is we'll advertised il
The BAzoo.
1t is barely possible that q milo
hammered morbid curiosity brough
out some of his audience last night.
Some came from the good old cause
the cause of Christ and Him Cruel
fed.
The clock on the church wall wa.
running. 1t did not stop 10 listen
and it licked an hour and i've minute,
while the divine spoke to the listening
multitude.
Avocal quar!ette composed of Mr..
and Mrs. B1ller and Ernest Henney
with Gregg's orchestra furnished
most excellent and appropriate melody.
The collection was taken up to the
persuasive music of a mandolin club.
This music was also excellent and
the collection was liberal.
Mr.. Boiler then announced a show
At Woods Opera house, March 10, for
the benefit of the Young Mems
Christian Association and said that
reserved seats could be had at the Y.
NJ. G. A. rooms without extra
charge.
The text was from Judges, 10Th
chapter and last verse, as follows;
"And it was so, that all that saw it
said, there was no such deed done nor
seen from the day the children OF
Israel came up out of the land of Egypt
unto this day; consider of it, take ad-
vice and speak your minds
Mr.. Boiler got right down to bus
mess at once, with but few words of
prelude, and alluded to the crime of
last week and stiffness prevailed the
houee that was painful.
"Sedalia is fair city, full of life,
enterprise, rare and good people, and
it was blot upon our escutcheon that
such crime as have alluded to
should have been committed within
our borders" said the speaker.
"What is wise for the people to do
under the circumstances" asked the
divine.
That is q question that has been
uppermost for several days, Mr.. Boiler,
and the authorities have done all they |
could to answer it.
Better catch the miscreant first.
The speaker then spoke of the ca
pacity Of man for evil also his capacity |
for good.
We believe he has more capacity |
for evil than for good.
Evil comes the easiest, and with
more frequency, at least priest and
printer hear of it oftener.
"The expertness Of the human fam
lily for crime was as great by those
who devote their lives to it as it was
in other channels, namely, music,
business, trades, etc. Some loved
crime-reveled in il and gloated over
criminality with fendish delight"
said Mr.. Boiler.
The speaker then told of the purity
of the wretch who committed the re.
cent crime, at his birth.
Yes, Mr.. Boiler, that is possibly so,
but i! is hard to contemplate. Is it
not possible to inherit the desire to
commit crime?
The speaker thought it probable
that after man once sinned, he kept {
going on and on in crime and sin
until he landed in hell.
That is about so and the BAzoo
fully agrees wi tn the reverend gentle
man that if he don't land there he {
ought to.
Then Mr.. Boiler said that robbers t
loved money and that was what l
prompted them to commit crime. &
loved money and were in t
many cases, worse than highwaymen. A,
He must have hsd the telephone
in his mind, or the minister's |
alliance, for there is only one of each C
n town.
These are monopolies of their kind. q
The saloons here got a righteous o
aking.
The speaker said he would rather G
ave his son ''held up" by highway t
men and his pockets rifisd Of their
contents than to have him enticed Il
nto saloon and robbed of bis brains .
. we'll as his money. Then there were il
robbers. ist
We suppose he meant those who'
