President Mckinley, each with Il bis
cult in their hands. The girl has ten
grains OF strychuine in hers. They al
give them to the dogs, and though
two OF the dogs frisk around after cat
ing them the third dies. TIE dog wa,
killed not by tho biscuit, but by tn,
strychnine in it. So with the power o
God. The preacher doesn't do the
| work. It's the power OF God. If we ar,
depending on human efforts we are
gone. If the power is there good viii
follow, and it will kill sin. For thine
is the power Gods inGnito power
If we had few peoplo here with
that power we could shake this old city

When storm centre Is disturbed ter.
rifle results follow. | want to tell YOU
that If the praying people Of this City
| would disturb the storm centres they
! can make a great effect.
| The churches here are like n trolley
car. When you disconnect it from pow.
| er the lights go out and it won't move
ioot. But put on the current and all
will be right. If the churches would
only get connected with the divine dv-
namo what result they could achieve
Some OF these old 3hurch bers are
as still as stone. They amt moving
loot. Still they sing, Pm going to
my journeys end" It's lie. They
amt II going.
For thine is the power. This has
reference to citizenship and LOYALTY.
Nothing Is despIsed like traitor. All
hate Benedict Arnold because he was
an officer in the American army who
sold out and went to the other side.
Don't you think a church member who
n n m ly. a
IFS gang is traitor? The Old Prcsbv-
terian sister who goes to the theater
Is one OF these. She's the DEVILS old
bell eve. Benedict Arnold was a gen
tleman compared to her. Loyalty !
Love, true love! If | was to spell love
out according to its meaning it would
be with tho letters that compose low
atty. Christ himself said that love de-
manded loyalty. "If any man saws he
loves me and keeps not my command
ments the same is u liar and the truth
is not in him"
Loyalty Think of a deacon, an el
der or steward Of the church be-
longing to the Commercial club. He's
gone into hog wallow. What do YOU
think OF one who carries on gambling
In cotton or stocks? Why, bad rather
nave my boy play sevcn-up for 10 cents
with greasy old deck OF cards. Broth
er Mashburn, buldn't you rather have
your boy? Brother Mashburn said he
didn't know anything about gambling
In stocks, and Sam, with smile, said
We'll, you don't know any thing about
seven-up, either, do you?"
can't prove anything by these old
preachers. If | was to ask them. if
Chey were IN the tabernacle they'd tell
me they think So
HOW we need Ipyalty in n IL, ,o,,,.,..
Inc deacon who doesn't drink, but
rents MS house out to a saloon keeper
Is no better IN the sight of God tnup
Tue dirty, lousy scOundrel who dishes
out the liquor. Amt he dandy, a fell
low like that.
| like the man who is on the right
side OF everything. That's what call
loyalty. The loyal man is right on the
liquor question. right on the money
question, not charging 20 per cent in
Cerest ON what he lends out, right on
every question.
When preacher goes to a blowout
banquet and drinks some wine mot to
be odd, " he has his gun spiked by the
devil. And I'd rather make a new gun
than Lnspike the old one. People don't
respect this man. The saloonkeepcrs
cont ike me, but they respect me
more than they would him.
Some men have to drink for their
oiten-troublc. It's mighty often, for it
attacks them about once every hour.
Some men seem to have a chronic
stomach.
Down right loyalty The Bible saws,
Taste not, touch not the accurscd
thing )" and again, Avoid even the
appearance of evil" Yet some Chris
tlans have IL regular peach blossom
nose. They don't drink, though.
Loyalty, loyalty; downright LOYALTY.
Don go anywhere that would lead any
one to think you drank.

Loyalty Right every pop. That's
what loyalty means. I'd rather get
shot all to pieces while on the right
