sect calling themselves Holmes people
is attracting some attention in Illinois by
the claims of :ts members to extraordinary
powers. such as going into frances. having
heavenly visions. etc. One Of their favorite
songs. which they sing = long time without
stopping, Is:
You can't go to heaven in a rocking chair.
There won't be any high-toned there;
You can't go 10 heaven on roller skates,
You'll roll right past them pearly gates;
You can't go to heaven on q dancing floor,
You'll dance right into heiPs trap door,"
This is not fine poetry, but it indicates
great superiority to the ways Of the world
and high degree of self-approval. The
sect seems to be well named.
