The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1897-05-13

SlnnerS Jake no neeui
Hellward the worlds going
Therefore at breakneck speed
Sorrow for sin they leave
Entirely out of the ring,
Like as II the Gospel
Required no such a thing,
Because the church has lost
Her sacred JUNCTION now;
Burrows no more she makes
Deep with the Gospel Pillow.
The father of liars
The old deceitfulf boy
Does now to sinners tell
Religion has no joy,
TO get religion now
He would have 1t appear
For sin there's no sorrow,
Neither shedding OF a tear;
And that there is no use
To amend the wrong they've don't
From those they have stole,
Should recompense no one
Because the church has lost
Her sacred JUNCTION now;
Burrows no more she makes
Deep with the Gospel Pillow.
To me now religion seems
To run on a new line,
As its no more mingled
With the Spiritual wine,
The old path they have left
Our ancient fathers trod;
Ministers are converting
Sinners instead OF God,
Into formality and pride
The churches are drifting
And God at his judgment
win have TO do the sitting,
Because the church has lost
Her sacred JUNCTION now;
Burrows no more she makes
Deep with the Gospel Pillow.
And that's what's the matter
The nation trouble today
Because his people have
From religion turnd way
Now 1t Is not at all
What know 1t used to be;
Those having spiritual eyes
Can it assuredly see,
One gets religion now
BY holding up his hand,
ssan 1t passes away
Like tracks on banks OF sand,
Because the church has lost
Her sacred JUNCTION now;
Burrows no more she makes
Deep with the Gospel Plow.
They used to for religion
From porch to altar weep
And when they obtained it
Sacred they would 1t keep.
But Satan-the old imp
With his boldness and cunning
The denominations have
After members running
And that fact is plain
The eyeless blind can see
That the sacred church OF God
Is not what it used to be,
Because the church has lost
Her sacred JUNCTION now;
Burrows no more she makes
Deep with the Gospel Plow.
The thousands of converts
Where are they all today;
Those that the preachers claim
Their sins are washed away
The world for Christ" ask
II they can tell me now;
Are they not wallowing
In the mire with the soWH
The church, the world, the flesh
Are.running on fast time
To overtake the dollar
Considering 1t no crime
Because the church has lost
Her sacred JUNCTION now
Burrows no more she makes
Deep with the Gospel Plow.
1t used to be when one
The Holy church would join
He'd loudly shout and sing;
Because ofiGOd he's born;
Then on six months probation
They him would hold at bay
Ascertaining the fact
That he was on the WAY
But on the very worst
Sinners they now call
And into the church they go
Without religion at all,
Preachers that would sinners tell
That they could get salvation
Without an experimental
Tangible realization;
Then In the fear OF God,
Iwould them boldly tell
Themselves are in danger
OF going down to hell
Because the churh has last
Her sacred JUNCTION now;
burrows no more she makes
Deep with the Gospel Pillow.
Think of fourteen thousand murd
In ninety-six committed
And most all the perpetrators
BY Judges were acquitted,
More murders / would say
Are committed at large
Than are true conversions
In the ecclesiastical charge.
In these remarks I allude
To no one whatever
That makes for mans salvation
His utmost endeavor,
Because the church has lost
Her sacred junction now:
Burrows no more she makes
Deep with the Gospel Pl0w,
