most popular of living evangelists and
his remarks were listened To with
great interest. The subject of his

report OF the lecture would be i'm possi-
bic, but the following are "A few OF the
characteristic remarks which he made
"Ot course YOU havo your society
here, but IL is a sort OF n cheap paste
board arrangemsnt-not what you'd
call first. class.
I'VE will never lift this country to
the altitu le where God would have 1t
until we put the leverage OF God under
the home and lift IL up
IL like the practical farmer; like
the practical house keeper like the
prs ciical prcaehcr--in fact there is no
other kin I.
Young man I've just gottez to the
point where can see what IL fool was
when | was like you.
The biggest fool in West Virginia Is
the fellow who will argue against a
fact.
II never ask fellow how they bap-
tizcd him, but what sort Of . dog they
put tho water on.
Som, fellows arc good because they
want TO go TO heaven when they die
some are good because they are afraid
Of the devil The devil will gct thom
all, but thank God he won't get much
"SOme fellows meet at church and
sing This worlds bowling wilder
ness When you hear that you ca n
mark 1t down that they are the dogs
that are doing most OF the bowling
when / see fellow whom God has
given wartn-hearted wife and 8 or 10
children ] say that the Lord has done a
great deal for that man. but when I
see man who has 'sawciety wife
and poodle dog say the Lord has
thrown of on him.

States 60. .0O0, 900 are domiciled In homes
That is why Americans are SO patriotic.
Any man will fight for home. but

There ain but one way TO preach,
and that is TO get your heart full of
religion and love for Jesus Christ and
go TO your church on Sunday morning,
knock the bung out and let nature cut
her capers.
THE curse of this country is the
hunbuggery in the church Of God.
The women Of this town pay less for
the evangelization OF the world tnan
they do for Easter bonnets, aud then
they go TO church and sing
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all 'be world go frse2
No there's a cross for everyone,
And AN Easter bonnet for me.
In the beginning Of the world God
made one man and one woman and
they are mighty nigh as scarce now as
they were then.
Every woman thinks she has man
for husband, but she hasn't. She has
nothing but an old pair Of broeches
wadded up.
I've no objection TO baags. for al
ways thought bangs were becoming To
women and mules
I'VE seed more honey bees and few.
er butterflies among the women Of our
land.
'0od pity the American girl when
she says lot modosty stand aside. The
pillars Of a woman's life are modesty
snd purity.
