AS our little sermons on different
issues OF the day are receiving such
wide spread notice we will again over
flow about the sinful world aud tell
you a few red-hot truths. Our breth-
eren Of the s~acerdotal shrine and lay
man have thrown quite a few oratori-
cal bomb-shells at the four great evils
of socfety-dancing, card playing,
theaters and liquor. Concerning the
last we will say nothing as we do not
feel competent to speak upon a subject
that we are not acquainted with, but
dancing-if you will take the trouble
to look up the attendance statistics Of
any one of the Oriental Wriggling
parlors that we're In full wriggle in St.
Louis, during the Fair, you will lind
that many thousands of young men
and millions of old men spent count
less sums to see the belle Of the Harem
cut up, but 'nough said on this evil.
The theaters are enjoying "unprece-
denied prosperity Sufferin sisters
what do you think Of that. These
people are trying to make a living by
running a place of amusement where
the classic plays of billie" Shakes
peare are produced with dramatiza-
tions OF the dime novel. Really this
is the only crime Of the stage and this
is against art in Its highest form. And
now one straight from the shoulder
against cards. Look at the endless
amount of celluloid wasted In the
manufacture OF the Devils calling
paste boards. All this cellulold might
make a million collars to say nothing
Of valentines and ivory ornaments
And In closing flor is that not the
way the sanctyied one say it) In
second thought we will speak Of liquol
from our limited knowledge. That
producer OF Elyslan dreams and head
aches, the emblem of life and mockel
of death, is nectar fit for fairies who's,
magic wand can call forth mammor
leas and monster snakes to enter
