DON'T Mind Society.

Don't Mind Society.
Never mind what society says. You
do what is right and manly.
plate! What miserable failure
he made. He had influence to help
him and yielded to the interest that
damned his soul. PLATE had often
heard Of Jesus and often longed for
the opportunity for Jesus to appear
before him.
He longed for the chance to pass
sentence, and often imagine the look
Of surprise on his face, when Jesus
walked into his presence. Just then
the messenger dashed in with the
message from Mrs. PLATE.
| Art Thou?
| PLATE turned to Jesus and said:
cart thou the Son Of God?"
| Jesus said, II am"
Jesus Christ was the Son Of God
or he was a liar.
| Jesus Christ was the Son Of God
or he was an imposter.
Jesus Christ was the Son Of God
or he was a bastard, the illegitimate
f-spring Of Jewish harlot, for he
was born out Of wedlock.
He was either conceived by the
Holy Ghost and was the Son Of God
or he was a bastard, the illegitinate
fake, the biggest fake that ever
breathed.
Dsspises Unitarianism.
despise your Unitarian doctrine
which makes Jesus just good man.
My mother taught me- that a good
man does not lie. How can Jesus be
a good man and liar at the same
time? The bible is either the word Of
God or a lie. Then to perdition with
the doctrine that Jesus was only a
good man would hate to make out
my Judge, up yonder bastard, down
here.
He said:
"Art thou the Son Of God?"
PLATE called for basin Of water
and walked out before the rabble and
said:

his hands.
II he had washed his heart he would
have been a clean man.

There has come from across the sea
a book entitled, Letters From Hell.''
In that book PLATE is represented in
the lost world (this is another foo!
noveO, and he is bending over q
stream of water into which he dips his
hands "a stream Of water in hell is the
limit according to theology; say that
is another fool novel idea-everybody
has little fool idea about religion
So PLATE is represented in the lost
world dipping his hands into a stream
OF water, and some one touches him
on the shoulder and says:
What is the matter, Pilate?"
He raises his hands, red as the blood
Of Jesus Christ can make them, and
with an awful look Of agony, he cries:
will they never be clean?"

No! They were red on earth, and
in hell, and the blood is on you and
will stay there to damn you in he'll
If you don't accept Jesus Christ.
PLATE had not the courage Of his
convictions. He was convinced tina,
Christ was right and the Jews were
wrong, and his claims true.

But II PLATE had said Of Jesus, "IIe

and you can not kill him as long as
SIT on the throne" he would have
taken his stand among the greatest
characters that the world ever brought
forth If he had taken the crown OF
thorns and put 1t on his own head, and
taken his robes and wrapped them
about the form Of Jesus and said, "Nail
me to the cross, but let Jesus CO." he
would have walked with the grandest
company in the world.
He did not have the courage Of his
convictions, nor have you. You ar,
convinced that it is wrong not to be &
christian and that it is manly to be 8
christian, but you have not the cour.
age and manhood to walk down the
aisle and take your stand with Jesus
Christ. Therefore you are in the same
company with PLATE. He knew, but
he had not the courage, and you know
you have not the courage to do 1t.
Jesus to Herod.
There was old Herod. As soon as
PLATE heard that Herod was in town
he sent Jesus over to him, because
Jesus was a Galilean and came under
the dominion of Herod. Herod thought
that Jesus was a magician and that
he went around performing little mir
acles as a sort Of sleight of hand per-
former. and he asked Jesus to perform
a few tricks to entertain him. Blu,
Jesus answered never word, and they
sent him back to PLATE.
