CHAPTER III.

,. Arise every one of you that
weareth a button having clasped
hands thereon and gather We as
one man into the city called Earl
ington even our forequarters and
mighty wonders shall be Showed
unto you.
3. For when the tenth day of
the fifth month is fully come GER
tain apostles who have received
the gift of tongues will appear in
that city to show the scabs the
error of their way.
4. Assemble yourselves from
the east even unto the west and
go We boldly unto the hostile city,
taking neither scrip nor staff, but
forget not to- take a little some
thing for the stomach's sake.
5. Now when the appointed
time had fully come a multitude
was gathered within the city of
every nation, kindred, tongue
and tribe, including Jews, Greeks,
Gentiles and men of Ethiopia.
6. Yea, beside those who delve
was there also shepherds that
watch the flock and such as hop
peth over clods, cleaving mid
dies with a yaller mule as prone
to "studs" as sparks fly upward.
Z. And as Joseph's coat was
greatly diversified in colors, even
so was that multitude variously
clad, some arrayed in purple
and fine linen, some from those
regions which are way back clad
in homespun, having a "gallus"
Of knitted wool and hats made of
straws cleaned from the fields.
8. And seeds of hay were
within their hair and there were
ticks upon their skins and dog
fennel was there betwixt their
toes.
9. Likewise also came there
company Of those who be scabby
and they drew nigh and sat upon
a hillside with their ears picked
that they might hear the more
readily.
10. Then Il certain man whose
name was Rooney, not Annie
Rooney, nor yet Pe-ru-na,
but disciple among the Mine
Workers arose and cried unto
the throng saying:
ii. Give ear unto my speech
all We sons of promise and like
wise hearken unto" me even We
children of wrath and workers of
iniquity.
12. For this day will mighty
men prophesy unto you speaking
in parallels and cause even the
dryest scabs to tremble and when
scales have fallen from their eyes
and they have sat upon that
bench which belongeth unto
those who mourn then will the
middle partition be broken down
and we twain shall be one.
13. When he had thus spoke
he sat him down and a mighty
prophet whose name was Blake
ley from the tribe of the Hoosiers
beyond the river arose and for
the space Of forty-fve minutes
he brought a railing accusations
against capitalists and sung aloud
the praises Of the United Mine
Workers exhorting those afflicted
with scabs to break off their fet-
ters and become the salt Of the
earth.
II. And it came to pass when
the prophet had played his last
trump, even down unto the trey
and four that n greater than he
arose, for there are giants on the
earth in these days and this same
giant is a white colored man
whose name is Johnson. He is an
Ethiopian and dwells in the city |
of Render, in the land of the
Boopes and Kentons.
Is. And the same johnson hath |
received the gift of tongues and |
is given unto much speaking and
because of his gift he is enabled |
to discount a flutter mill and
give unto it the go.
16. And for the space Of one
hour he cracked down upon cor
poration in general and the st. |
Bernard in particular, giving |
unto them large quantities of the
fiercest hades, meanwhile calling |
upon all having scabs upon them |
to flee deserved wrath whichis al
ready come seeking safety in that |
ark prepared by Wood, Chappell |
& Co.
II. And it came to pass that
he rallied on the Hopkins county |
''nigger" saying: Ye crooked |
and perverse generation, have |
not mourned for you and We did
not lament? Have | not patted |
