Yes | like children and always have
! something to say to them. Not very
long ago was down in Burrough' 8
Cove. and visited quite lot of young
people. There was at least $50 of
them. Nothing would do but l must
talk to them and talk did, and the
other day got an invitation to visit
them again, which l would like to do,
as what have to say to children is
rich and juicy and not old dry stuff
like a powder house.
Children. don't want any of you
TO be like so many people of today are.
Better for you to die than to live and
grow up hypocritical and selfish, and a
disgrace to the name Of humanity.
Yet they claim TO be christians. And
then, again. they are so very jealous
of me and other active, go-ahead peo
pie that they will sneak around-now
listen-and tell the preacher if he
wants a good meeting, why he must
mt let Uncle Tom run it. l say ''Un-
Gle Tom because 1 have a right to
use his name.
Well. children, this is all trumpet
mp excuse to shield their ungodly dis
position. They know "Uncle Tom"
can't run meeting and save souls,
and neither can they. Well, I'm not
going to impose on the poor, hypocrit-
ical things, for all such church back
biters are hypocritical and they know
it. and preacher that will listen to
such people in regard to such stuff, is
a weakling sure enough.

Now, young folks, your ''Uncle
Tom hopes these prizes will stir you
all up, so I say to all people who love
God and his children, rsniember love
finds way to do things, and if you
are friend to God and His little
ones, prove it by your works
Now, children, if poor old ignor-
ant man is interested in you, surely
you will do your best
Work is still dull. There is some
sickness and lots of prejudice and but
little unity at the best.
The meeting at Mars Hill is going
