am so glad that when God came to thls
earth he came in human form. The
writings of the Bible are so very
plain that any one can understand
them. David WAS n natural born poet
What was God to David? God was
his shepherd, his mountain refuge The
devil Is represented in the text as the
bird catcher and you as the weary
bird. The first method he uses is de-
coy. For instance, have you ever put
waited, gun in hand. for the live ducks
to come? II seems long time, but
they will come. The devils deeoy IS an
old nominal member of the church.
will tell you how you can tell q decoy
OF the devil. He Isn't AFRAID OF anything
or afraid TO go anywhere. or to do
anything. He says: No harm Will come
to me from that If there Is any one
here who belongs TO church and says
a dance is right, let them stand up.
(No response) If / was going TO be a
Christian / would step over on the
Lords side and stay there, II you are
going to be on the devips side, be SIN
cere in that. The next decoy Ia like
an educated turkey. / saw one once.
His owner would move his hand In
different ways and make him either
come to him or gobble, etc. In this way
the decoy would toll the Wild turkeys
In range of his gun. This is the way
the devil does with his deooy turkeys
In the church. those that play cards,
drink wine and dance. / hope you have
no social club In this town. The devil
uses an infidel for decoy. In one in
stance an inhdel was talking to an
old woman with whom the Bible was
a precious book. He told her the Bible
was all a lie, and she said; That can't
be- He said; i VIII prove II to you
Then he tod her of the bread cast upon
the waters that will return after many
days, as her Bible said. Now, how can
that be. for bread thrown on waters
will dissolve and sink to the bottom
'Gobble, gobble, gobble this decoy
said. He finally convinced her that
some of the Bible was fraud and
shattered her faith until minister
explained II TO her and she saw II all
clearly. God save us from these old
blooded gobblers. Did You ever see
old sister gobblerP' You know, they
are always around saying this, that
and the other wicked thing is all right.
'Gobble. gobble, gobble.' Gaughterl
God save US from these decoy ducks OF
the devil; Come away from them. Serve
God and do right. The next decoy
is n gull--a large, white-winged bird
