MRS gELEE ooY's LETTER.
She is Severe on the Ministry-Speaks
tor the Master She Says.

/ guess have the same apirit that
Noah had when he was building the
ark can't bold my peace until righ-
teousness go forth as brightness and
salvation as lamp that burneth there
Of Christians, God says six DAYS thou
SD all labor but the seventh day is
the Sabbath OF our Lord, keep it holy.
But these preachers sit around doing
nothing these six days.
They say they are studying the Cos
pei to preach to you on Sunday. hris-
tians are you ignorant as that, that
man has got to take whole week to
study verse to bring to you on Sun
day? Let US get away from such
faint ideas.
Christians. you know God drove man
out of the Garden OF Eden and told
him by the sweat of his brow should
he eat bread Who is keeping with
this saying-the laboring man or the
cunning preaehers7 Why, no, the
poor labpring man is the one who is
keeping with Gods sayings and the
preachers have hidden himself behind
the gospel for his bread. But God is
behind them now driving them ont
just like Saint Patrick drove ali the
snakes, lizards and scorpions out of
ireland.
OIL look, Christians, couldn't anv
more live there after that, and so it
shall with the preachers that preach
for money.
We read in the Bible saying, ''Can a
man rob God2" Yes. for must say.
that the preachers are continually rob

robbers for they rob continually, for

Oh. these are hard truths: but IL is
the fact Christians. God has not told
me to try to force any body to believe
this truth. He old M simply to tell
lit % the public and God is coming on
behind it.
People, know your preachers have
played policy of kindness and have
bought you and they have got the
deacons and the leading people to can
vass for them. Don't you see those
preachers are bowing down to every
small thing now you know, they have
not been doing this all the time. You
need not listen to them with sayings
They are not going to work any more
and are Just blowing like Goliah did
against David. God took a little
smooth stone and overthew him; and
God is going to overthr w ach one 4
them. He has just got me warning
them beforehand, that is eli.
Christians this is the same God that
has made choice of people ard when
they disobey Him. He overthrows
them. He will be sure to overthrow
you. Look st King Nebuchadnezze
that God drove out into the forest to
eat grass seven years like an OK, this
is the God that throned the antedilu-
vian world and the cities OF Sodom and
GomorrHh and many thousands con-
querors,
He has made many other conquer
