His Subject "Lop Sided Folks"
Proves One Of the Best Attractions
Of the Season.

DR.. George r.. Stuart, the great
Southern humorist and associate Of
the late Rev. Sam p. Jones, ap-
peared as the fourth number Of
the Y. M. G. A. lecture course
at the Epworth M. Il, church
Tuesday evening. For more than
two hours the magnetic speaker
royalty entertained his audience
with his rich humor and splendid
address. taking as his theme
"Lop sided Folkso. The speaker
was introduced by Rev. ID. H.
Bailey, pastor of Epworth church.
DR., Stuart In his opening re-
marks explained that by "Lop Sid
ed Folkso he did not mean deform-
ed folks or those who are in any
way SO physically peculiar as to
attract attention.
"The doctors can take care OF
those people, said the speaker.
"You can have anything remedicd
now days. If you don't like the
color of your hair you can have
| it dyed and If you haven't any
hair you can get plenty of some
fellow who has died. Any ailmenc
can be cured. There are all kinds
OF doctors these days. There are
Ihomeopaths and ostheopaths ana
many other paths but like all
paths. they all lead to the grave. y
The speaker stated that in his
subject he referred to those people,
who develop any part Of their body
or any one trait Of their character
to such an extent that they become
slop sided ~ ''You can develop
your mind alone and you will be-
come what men call genius ana
| call a crank. You may laugh all
the time and you will become
silly fool Nike an all around
man, symmetrical man, man
who can think and laugh and weep,
said the speaker.
DR.. Stuart was inclined to be-
| lieve that the great majority Of the
people think 1t religious to weep.
The doctor thought that God laughs
more than lie weeps and He ex-
poets us to do the same. "If the
church., said the doctor, "would
furnish the people with more Joy
they would not be running off to
the worldly places in search Of 1t.
Mdrth Is the medicine of life. !"
The lecturer also stated that there
was, however. very much merit in
crying in token OF Joy and graft.
