amt got no cash in yer pocket yer
amt prepard to 60 to church.
Mex Sunday am gwine ter have
er new kind OBJ contribution box fer
de encouragement OBJ de congregation.
Ef yer puts in er nickel it falls on er
cushion an don't make no fuss at all.
Et yer puts in er quarter it rings er
little bell, but ef yer draps in er halt
er dollar it shoots off er pistol so dat
cbrybody will know what er liberal
man yer IL.

roun' dis way we won't never git ter
de lectur Desc lecturs will be de-
voted to de stratenn' out Oh de mis-
takes OBJ other preachers; half OBJ um
don't know how to preach no how.
Da think if da are called to preach dar
amt nuthin to do but jes rattle in, dat
ideas an words will be furnished free,
but et er man is too lazy ter git up his
own sermons he may know dar is er
mistake somewhar, an dat he is called
ter be er politician or some kind OBJ er
trade dat kin be run widout brains.
In ramblin' thru my Bible dis las gone
week | run ercross er verse dat reads
dis way: Lord, what is man dat dou
art mindful OBJ him?' have hearn dis
verse preached frum many time an
da always tells you He thought SO
! much OBJ him bekaze he was made in
His own image, an breathed in ter him
the breath of life an made him er livin'
! soul, an he was so smart an interest
r in dat he thought mo OBJ him than en-
=. nythng else He had made, an dis was
de reason de Lord was wilIin ter put
, up sich price ter save him. Its all er
l great mistake. He is mindful Of man
| because he duz so much devilment he
i is blyster take nots Nv him.
Man viIated de fust law ever given
