leading professions an yet we all the
| time bring up the rear in the process
| sion of progress. Yes, sab, were allus
at the rear end o. the line. An, to tell
| We the truth, we preachers are the
| hindermost of all. Why, these little
doctahs an lawyahs go around as
SUNNI that they've got possession of
the sum O human knowledge, an that
all they don't know amt wuth know
in. An yet men an women are dyin
/ ev'ry day, an the worlds full of sin
ners, an the doctahs don't know how
to stop 'em from dyin, an no noah do
the preachers know how to stop the
sinnin'. Naow ma friends, yore all
right but yo' don't know it all-not
near all. The doctah that don't know
anythin' but medicine, or the preacher
that don't know anything else besides
Gospel-well they're both little people,
but the amt much of EN-.
Temperance Is the great regulating
force in the world; temperance in all
things, 1t pays; in store or the shop
or the bank or the office. l don't care
how hard things go with man dowr
town If he's only got a cherry, com
f'table home an fiahsidc to go horne
to-then he's all right. But a fussy
wife-a long tongued woman-the Loo
deliver me from long-tongued woman
An a great big bear of husband
why nobody but a brute would fus
with women an children / thank Go
that l like my wife; yes, sab, ! rel
like her. Not long ago I went home
her after trip, an says, Laura
co thiply rY1ip1tv nf /
deed I do; in all my COINS round,
don't see but mighty few people | like
any better'n you Other day [ was
talkin' to great big chap that has a
way of explodin' like a keg of powder
at home ev'ry now an then. I told
i'm he ought to stop that; it was bad
for his wife an children, an for him
self o, / know he says, but I've J
got a bad temper, an sometimes I go
off a bit with it, but it's allus ovah in
mint t.4
Yes, says I, AN l could stick
match in bari O powdah. an it'd all
be ovah in second. But they'd be 70
men, two nevis, an a dog dead. It's
all ovah in a mint, but in that mint
thes been a wound put into woman's
heart thatll stay there as long as she
lives-an' the brute of man goes away
an thinks sits ,aA ovah.
"An' then the's brotherly kindness.
Give me man or woman with a
great big heart. That's why despise
society; it takes the hearts out O. wo-
men. I tell yo' all, the only way I
could evan count for a society woman's
love for her poodle dog is on the no
ton that she has an overweenin' af-
lection for her husbands relations. A |
woman that foaks on children as a |
nuisance is a bad woman at heart.
AN don't give me any O. .yo'r stingy |
little fellers. I'd rather be a liberal |
gambler than stingy Methodist. Why |
do I say that? Becos If yo kahn jest
convert that liberal gambler to the |
Lord Jesus Christ, you'll have good
'un; but the stingy Methodist-why,
he's already been converted, an he
amt any good anyhow.
1--WE media brotherhood Of brotherly
kindness. Universal charity, charity
in its fullest, best meaning, is needed
in this world The philosopher ain't |
yet been BON that's been able to tell
the most uncomftable condi-
tion is to suffer from the pangs of |
hunger or from the pains caused by
eatin' too much. One-half the worlds
got more'n 1t needs, an the other half |
has less. One-half is tryn' to get |
enough to put In it's stomach, an the
other half has dyspepsia from eatin
too much. That's what's the matter
with us. An yet the ones that's got
mon they can use an mon they need
why. these very ones are reachin' out
all the time tryin' to get mo- It's all
wrong. Did yo' evan see a shroud
with pocket in 1t? No, sab; they
don't make EN- that way; yo' KANT
lake nothin' along with We. Universal
charity and brotherly kindness should
