MORE BABIES; FEWER
LAP-DOGS" IS PLEA OF
REV. CHILLY" SUNDAY
Continued from page ~

Let him that is without sin among you
cast the first stone: the world says.
Choose judges that know the law.
Jesus says, When they smite thee on
the cheek. turn the other also;' the
world says, Telephone for the sheriff
or the cop Jesus says, What God has
Joined together, let no man put asun-
der; the world says, That's easy -
get a divorce and marry again.
No. Use for Divorces.
The divorce question aroused Rev.
Sundays hottest remarks and he d.
crossed several minutes to give a dis
sertation Oh this evil, which he called
the most damnable law in the land
Il take of my hal" said he, "to the
Catholics, who are leading all the rest
of US in their Interpretation of the di-
vorce law as given in Gods word,
that neither party of divorced couple
shall remarry during the life of the
other, no matter for what cause the di-
vorce Was granted why call we me
Lord, Lord, and do not the
things which sayf And
the Christ says in no un-
certain words that no man shall put
away his wife save for adultery and
no one shall marry that is divorced.
/ am an ordained minister Of the Cos
pei, but call God Almighty to be my
witness. that will never unite in mar
riage any person, man or woman, swho
has been divorced.
Proof OF Christianity.
"a professor said all Christians
were alike; that none of them would
stand the test and he bet another man
that he could make his own brother
fn-law, dactor, mad in business
transaction. The professor purposely
falsified an account in meeting to
settle it. The doctor did lose his tenn
per and said: You lie; get out of my
house. The professor won his $40 and
slept soundly while the doctor rolled
and tossed on his bed till near morn
ing and then walked four miles across
the city, punching the door bell at his
brother-in-law's door, and stood in the
vestibule while tears trickled down
his cheek. He said, 7 did wrong and
haven't had peace since The profess
sor said. 7 never saw such a NANTES
tation of religion in my life
Jesus said Give to every man that
asketh,' but he didn't mean that If a
lay meets you on the street and asks
you for clothing. that you ought to
give him your clothes and go home
clad in sunshine and climate.
Society Caste Is Curse.
The Jews would not speak with the
Samaritans. 1t was like the caste sys.
TEN that is cursing India today And
this cursed society caste is the curse
of Qttumwa and America today.

YOU can help him, help him. Some of
your are SO stingy that II you give a
fellow ten cents. you feel like SINGING
God be With You Till We Meet
Again What do you do for a fellow
that asks you for handout? Do you
try to save him for God? No. You don't
do anything of the kind You say you
don't want to be imposed on l.
"Nineteen-twentieths of all the mon
ey in the country is is in the hands Of
the church members. Catholics and
Professionals and that in the Catholics
hands is srent more nearly right than
that in the Protestants' hands.
Why call We me Lord, Lord, and
do not the things which l say?'
And vet the church can't send ais-
sionaries for lack of the money. There
but if it would give one-tentn it
would have an endowment fund on
hand. and it could pay all it's claims
the country. Men will paw $1,000 for
church. have nothing against the
auto, but it is not fair to the church,
Giving.
The Lord says. Give to him that
asketh thee How much do you give
away in the course of year-really
give away? When a poor hungry man
comes to your door and asks for a
handout you send him to shovel snow
or saw wood, or in some other way
you get more than the value Of what
you give him. Or you ask him about
his Observation-Disclosures it was heredity
or environment that brought him to
his present condition, etc. Then you
give him a morsal sufficient to keep
soul and body together until he can
get around the next corner. But do
you try to save him? Do you show
him love. the love of Jesus and drop
a word of encouragement into his
heart and try to help him to live
better life?. | do not discount nor
despise scientific philanthropy, but
what the world needs is practical
Christianity.
I'VE don't know what it is to give
We are keeping back our free silver
and standing by our gold standard,
while the heather are dying and the
missionary boards have to turn back
those who volunteer to carry the COS
pei to foreign lands, because they have
no money to send them. Yet nineteen
stwentieths of the wealth of the world
today is in the hands of the Christian
people.
What do we do with our money?
Listen! Last year we spent 100000
600 forsstrong drink alone! for drink,
which caused 80 per cent of our crime.
which is responsible for 80 per cent
Of our pauperism, 70 per cent of our
insanity and which sends 10000 hui
man beings to drunkards' graves
every year. The grain wasted in MAX
ing this liquor, would, If made into
bread. be sufficient to pave street
