SAM JONES BATTLES
DRY BONES.

breaches at Presbyterian Church This
MOrning-Lectures Last Night.
" You are all as torpid as frowsy she
hogs in August. Yor devils, none of
you are sincere. You ought to be taken
out and killed, you good-for-nothing
hypocrites." Thus shouted the noted
evangelist, Rev. Sam Jones, at the
Presby yterian church this morning.
=" The idea" continued the evangelist,
''of four Baptist churches in a town
like Guthrie You devils, why don't
you get together2 There is no Chris
tianity in you. You tear around chew
the rag, fight each other and think
you are serving God. Why, my good
ness, the Lord thinks more Of
skunk"
Some of his expressions were: THE
devil never made O. 1Tunkard. He
never made whisky. n never drank
the dirty stuff, The 6cvil will get a
low down dog to make it, a dirty
devil of fellow to sell it, and poor
fool to drink it; so there you are, that's
how drunkard is made.
A bout women's clubs: 81 doubt if
there is prayer meeting ever held in
this town Ithat has larger crowd
than the women's cubs. Why all
they think is necessary to be an angel
is to lay down and then go to heaven.
You hardly ever hear Of man club
bing his wife, but the most pitable
thing in the world is a poor husband
woman-clubbed to death by his wife"
The trouble with the church is the
| the women run off into issues, club BIS
and deviltry, while the men run off
! into politics, drunkenness and deviltry
| If anv one who hob robs with either
the Republican or Democratic poll
tics gifts to heaven, the Bible is lie.
The Pops, Oh, they don't need Bible
The fools will get in with the child
rem"
For over an hour Rev. Jones ripped
and snorted he preached paralyzing
sermon He warmed up the preachers
and the brethren and sisters. He
roasted the saloons, the loafers, the
churches and the city government
But that's Sam Jones People who
are sensitive should never get in range
of Sans projectiles.
At the opera house last night Mr..
Jones lectured on 1.-The iWorld as it is
and the World as it Ought to be-" II
is an old lecture, but it is good one,
1t is filed with homely philosophy,
Georgia metaphors and forcible, if not
elegant, Illustrations. Sam was feel~
ing good and he shot the iron into ev-
erything he touched. Some of his
choice morsels foil ow:
"These Guthrie politicians would
puke dog"
What the American boy today
needs is a daddy and nanny, instead
OF mammas papas
There needs to be a shaking up Of
the church. I'd like to knock the front
teeth out of some of these preachers
and wean them again"
"Look out, you fellow out there.
You will fry in hell. You put on a
long, sanctimonious face and go to
church and sing Praise God,' and at
the same time your stomach is whis-
key still"
mo. l don't want to fight any Of
you cid politicians not that I'm afraid
to, but I'd be like the possum was
with skunk, when he told the skunk.
I'm not afraid of you, but 1 know If
| fight you can't go home to my family
"Selfishness is hell itself and its a
wonder some of you old deacons don't
catch fire from spontaneous combus'
tion.
The only way preacher can get a
collection now is to make the people
believe that God will give them two for
one.
Man is born one-half dog and one
half man. Some Of you old fellows
have been feeding the dog all the time
and are starving the man until the
man is dead, and if you just had lit
4 hasx nd fnil
could go to chasing rabbits"
