Jesus and the World.
and why call We me Lord, Lord, and
do not the things which 1 say? What
did Jesus say? He said forgive You
your debtors. The world says. sue
for the dough. Jesus said. it is more
blessed to give than receive. The world
says. get all you can and can all YOU
get Jesus said from him that would
borrow a five turn not away. The
world says all right if it is on a first

again Jesus says if he slnites you on

together let no man put asunder. The
world says 1 Will marry you. / will di-
vorce you and will marry you again;
it will not be a sin. You lie when you
say it.

on the divorce question, which holds
that adultery is the only ground for

vast sums spent for whisky, tobacco
cigars, and cigarets. "Do you think q
man can be christian and use tobac-
coz" he said he was frequently asked
HE might. but he would be a dirty
one" he replied. Continuing the Civ.
ing of statistics he referred to the big
sum spent for dogs in this countr,
each year and told of the extravagan
parties given for dogs in Chicago while
$4,000 children in the city went to be-
hungry each night. Referring to tn
love that some women bestowed OF
dogs he let fly this hot shot, "Yo,
women. do not waste the affection
which God gave you on a spitz. Per
haps the reason some husbands are NJ
more affectionate than they are is be,
cause they object to playing secon,
fiddle to a crooked nosed pug
