The Grand Average.

They claim that men are ei,tin so they
don't believe in he'll.
And unless they're maxim monoy folks
don think they re doiu well:
II all that people tell us OF the human race
Is true
II would seem as though religion hasn {
so, much TO do.
Here a book We Jest been readin and Il,
says men god today
Amt the God our fathers worshipped In
their pious. simple way.
And It's true that men are crowdin for the
money they can sit
But noticed that the average is
Quite
Good
Vii
remember when most people thought old
Nick would git em sure
II they stole or lied or cheated or lived
lives that wasn't pure.
still In spite OF thinlin that way, men
would cheat you when they could;
Fearin that there was a devil didn't seem
to keep em good
remember when folks used to set around,
afraid. at night,
Thinkin that the old boy d gIt EN- u they
didn't do jest right
But that didn't stop the choatin. uer make
thleyin rascals quit.
Aud reckon that the average Is
Quite
Good
VII
IL true few nre tryin TO grasp all there
Is la sight.
And know that men are cheaiin. they
still cheer the ones that fight
They have iegislated Satan ont Of birness.
and they say
That our fathers didn't worship the same
God we do today:
Men are crowdin one another. and they
crush and steal and lic
Never fearin lakes OF FIRE may be ready
when they die.
But there's others. oh. my brothers, that
still follow Christ. and II
Seems to me as though tho average is
