is preaching For % years he was
a merchant, going into the business
when bu young man, and his
life was kind of moulded in that
line. He had gone straight from the
counter to the pulpit. ell did not
want the congregation to understand
that he had not been through col
lege or university. He had been
through great many of them very
fast. Pointing to Rev Mr. Rowland,
the Methodist pastor, -. Mulkey
said: Why, it tOOA that man four
years to go through a college, and
| went through the same institution
in an hour He had never yet been
t. pastor of a church and ne O.
lieyed that if he had been he prob
ably would break the church up in
row. In conducting a meeting, he
said, the hardest people to handle
are me tune holsters. Whenever
you found person that can sing,
he or she was linely to have a screw
loose, and the better the sing,
the IOOser the screw He could
hardly ever keep the same choir to-
gether for more than ten days. and
then he had to handle them as if
they were glass The Brownsville
choir might be an exception, and if
so, he stood willing to put blue rib
bon on the door of each member OF
it. He would rather preach to 40
men than TO 400 women, that while
the women were the prettiest, the
men had the most sense.
Near the close of his remarks,
Mr.. Mulkey informed the cOngrega-
cation that song books like those
used in the service would be sold
for - cents each
Then, while the choir sang a Sc
lection, the song bOks were sold TO
the congregation by Tic ushe.s, the
supply being exhausted in a very
short time At the conclusion of the
song. Mr.. Mulkey read a few pas
sages of scripture, the 18th 10 14th
verse inclusive of second COrin-
thians.
He then made the following an
