Morning. Services, May 10.
The threatening aspect Of the weather
caused the services to be held at the
First Methodist church. which was
TANNED and packed and hundreds
turned away, not being able to procure
seats or standing room The exercises
of this hour We're ushered In by song
and prayer and the collection, after
which the Rev. Sam Jones arose and
selected this text from which he
sermonized: Wisdom is better than
weapons OF war but one destroyeth
much good" The wise man takes the
strongest figure and says that religion
Is better than the grandest army or
the strongest navy. Some people quit
the church to practice their meanness.
And the animal Is worth the price he
Will bring on the market. Nancy
Hanks brought 100000. Texas poney
$40. Some are bought for a Jug of
whisky, others for pack or game Of
cards or u dance. and the truth is, they
sold at full value. | respect Judas
lscariot for hanging himself and
have contempt for the little fellow
who sells out FOR u dance. for he is
devoid Of principle and the worst Of 1t
Is he won't hang himself. The men
that have sold out to the devil and
won't deliver the goods are too
mean to be noticed. Religion is better
than anything else. and 50 soon as we
recognize the fact, that moment the
world suecumbs The sister who gives
u dance, should be delivered to the
devil and not be allowed to act the
hypocrite, The man that would load
up his wagon and take a jug home with
1t. has harder head than billy goat
and your wife ought to break the ing
over your head. your head will break n
Religion Is the best thing in the world,
get 1t brother. Others hug their
ill-gotten gains, which is worse than the
drunkard for maybe his wife may
hope for his reform. \ fellow that gets
all he can and Keeps what he has rot
