ance and found wanting. In whose
balance are you weighed? In Gods
not in the worlds. How much do you
weigh? Not In your own estimation,
but according to the word Of God.
Thou shalt have no other God be-
fore me-" What is a mans God? It
Is anything that man thinks more Of
then he does Of God. Money is some
mems god. They will sacrifice every
thing they own for money. The dirti-
est money you have got is the money
you had to lie to get. If some of the
property you own was given back to
him to whom it rightfully belongs you
would no have to pay so much taxes
as you do. And If some OF you
wouldn't lie to the assessor you would
have to pay more taxes than you do.
We are making money by the bucket
full and going to hell by car lots.
Society is other peoples god, be-
With most scathing words he fairly
blistered the society dame. pleasure
is other peoples god," he said.
Take Not His Name in Vain"
'1Thou shalt not take the name Of
the Lord, thy God, in vain" There Is
where a lot of you are weighed and
found wanting. You curse and damn
God and blaspheme his name, but re-
member, God viii not hold him guilt
less who taketh his name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy" To us it is the first
day of the week. Here will give you
list of the worst Sabbath breaking
places in the country. San Francisco,
that's very cesspool of wickedness.
1t comes nearer to being pagan city
than any other in the United States
Then in the order named there are New
Orleans, Chicago. Cincinnati and st.
Louis What with your theaters open
on Sunday and your baseball games
running on the same day, the Ameri-
can people are putting the red flag of
danger on the track. We are becom-
ing a nation of anarchists. There has
been a fearful letting down in this
Sabbath observance in this country
in the last twenty-five years. / stand
for the American Sabbath, and 1 will
not give an inch on that subject to
any cult.
You show me man who breaks
IAAG AScippoti1S anu VIII SIlO" you d
man who breaks every other day of
the week.
Honor Thy Parents.
Honor thy father and thy mother
We are getting so nowadays that we
are losing respect for our mothers
and fathers. want to tell you that
the young man or young woman who
is ashamed of father or mother, be-
cause they have grown old, is a big
fool. If your mother had thought
more OF herself and less of YOU, she
might be as good looking as you think
you are. The wrinkles in her face
and every look in her eyes are merely
scars of love for you. Remember,
your fathers bent form and horny
hands are marks Of his sacrifices for
you.
Thou Shalt Not Kill.
"Thou shalt not KILL" Somebody
says, I'm all right there, 1 never mur-
dered anyone. There are other ways
of killing than by murder. There's
many a husband and wife who are
killing their mate by the way they are
living. There's many man and wo-
man Fastening to the cemetery be-
cause they have found out that their
mate is false. There is no sorrow on
earth like when a husband or wife
finds out that the other has fallen.
There are many boy and girl who are
killing their parents by the way they
are living. And there are other ways
of killing. I mean the women who
redden their hands with the blood of
their unborn offspring, that they may
be spared the cares of motherhood
and the nursery. To those malprac-
ticers among the physicians who aid
in this sin he said, .They call them
selves M. D.; they ought to be called
D. M.-damned murderers.
Sin Of Adultery.
Thou shalt not commit adultery
This is not the time or place to dwell
on this commandment, but adultery is
the greatest curse in the world today
Adultery caused God to drown the
world once, and 1t caused him to de-
stroy Sodom and other adulterous
cities. It is the quickest war to reach
hell. Hundreds and hundreds of hus-
bands and wives are untrue, until. our
land stinks with divorce, most of
which Is caused by adultery.
Thou Shalt Not Steal.
Thou shalt not steal. lit is getting
so that he who steals a million doll
lars and gets away is not considered
thief like the man who steals a
small amount. Many seem to think
that this commandment ought to be
amended to read, Thou shalt not steal
on a small scale.' The man who
holds you up at the end of a gun and
robs you is no more OF a criminal than
the man, of company of men, who get
control of the nations bread or fuel
supply and give you this attentive of
paying their price or starving or freez-
ing to death.
"a man is thief when he says a
piece of goods is all wool, when it is
part cotton. The man is thief who
says 1T is imported, when 1t was made
in Cedar Rapids or Chicago. The
working man is a thief when he does
not give an honest days labor for a
days pay. The employer is thief
when he pays YOU 81 for days work
when he should pay you 81.
"The gambler who bets and wins is
a thief, and the man who bets and
loses is a fool. A gambler is always
either thief or fool.
Do Not Gossip.
Thou shalt not bear false witness.
