he cried, ''fOr these telltales; these scan
dal-mODRers; these back biters; the sc ever
lasting snOops" Roars of laughter.]
Those "who rub II into people with a
coarse towel, who make a piucuShion of
one and run pins into him." were appro-
priately scored. "Cursed be gossip" said
the preacher. They aggravate you to
the point of profanity. and then EXPECT
you to sing psalm 2. Laugh.l They turn
you on a spit and wonder why you are not
grateful" lie called gOssips "peGdlers of
nux vomica," and declared that "assassi-
nation of tile body is as nothlDgto assassi-
nation of the character" The best men
are lied about and a detective could find q

The most illustrious Of men was hanged

Some people say there Is hell. II there
is no hell for the despOiler OF wOmanly

To the question of who should have the
highest thrones il heaven next to God the

Of Waterloo concluded by saying that "al
