in advance of yours, in that it proposes scope
which yours doubtless contemp plates, but does not
state. This is it: want this self denial present
help club to do something for the suffering which
has not been done Listen, brother: the most of
the charities are small that nobody is helped
definitely or permanently. Here is a woman with
out home, or doctor, or a coalpile suf1-
Client clothing, or sufficient food and little bit
of money is hanued to her by somebody, and
there is not enough of it to relieve any one of
the difficulties for any length of time So far
she is concerned, she will not be here long to be
cared for. Her time is nearly out. But she
ought to be taken care of definitely and perma-
nently as long as she lives Charity in
tended to relieve anxiety as we'll as present ne
cessity. According to my plan and DESIRE
could not help SO many people little, but
could help more as they should be helped
When Tom Watson Was Born
Il do not know a man whom I would rather
have to lead me in intellectual Matters says Mr..
Culpepper, "or direct me in moral matters, ad-
wise with me in spiritual matters, than Thos. E.
Watson. And had just that he and you
should be at the base and apex and middle of the
organization, and encompass it with your infu-
ence, and direct it with your wisdom, any
I know. But I believe you will see the wisdom of
what I say. 1t is big thing, but Tom Watson
is big man. 1t means work, but Tom Watson is
no stranger to toll 1t means huge difficulties,
but Tom Watson has never been the to sit
down at the foot of the Hill Difficulty and weep.
1t means persistence, and Tom Watson born
on the day that Persistence was most plentiful,
and he got the biggest share, of all the babies
born that day"
Lick the Devil.
Gentlemen, it be done. 1t will need
safeguard. We can do that. 1t cannot be
without some expense, but righteous expense is as
much charity any other thing is say to
you frankly, that if you will take up my idea,
stress the self-denial feature, you will reach
climax that will be righteous and lasting both for
time and eternity. Now, know you not sup
posed to be running appeal to charity, for your
paper is headed in another and glorious direction;
but at the time this matter is in entire keep
ing with what you are fighting for at this time
clean, right, helpful living God bless The Jeffs.
I hope they will indeed become the stream that
shall cleanse the Augean stables of all their filth,
and incidentally encourage the tagging Christian
in our land. How in the name of common sense
world has allowed the Devil to obscure the
necessary duties to our own people so long, [
cannot tell. But you right in your fight, and
when J read the articles written by your fearless
leader and others, I feel like shouting, Go it,
boys, and lick the Devil. a"
God Gave Me the idea.
''Now listen: In the present case of the Sunny
South Brotherhood, you only acting dis
tributing agent for these contributions, You have
propagated the idea, and you carrying it out
as fast as you can. My idea is, as | see it, only
an Improvement on the patent. You have the
guns and very fine gunner, and a good quality
of powder | think my idea at best is only a new
dynamite for the gun. For tell you, from White
House to cabin, and from Congress to j. P, sell
fshness is rampant. Mr.. Watson knows it and
feels it, and does his jeff family. I after
two things-help for the helpless, and getting
that help so that the giver would reap the bless
ings of acting according to the Great Teacher.
Why not buy home for poor, sick man with
large family, absolutely dependent on him? Buy
it in trust, if you please, and soon the dis
ability be relieved let the home go to another
who needs it, in the same way? Why not get
place and bank account (only don't put it in
national bank) for that man who cannot take
of himself and is soon to die? Why not tell
the world that charity does not mean the things
we have for, but the richest of gifts? 1
