was nearing the close of his elo-
quent address upon Practical
Christianity" when a man sitting
Tar back in the hall signaled to
him. When he was recognized. the
stranger got to his feet and de-
manded:
"Wlll You please tell me why
you come to Atlantic City to
preach on Christianity when Della
ware tolerates that blot on civiliza-
ton. the whipping post? Why
don t YOU stay at home and preach
and practice Christianity?'
While the audience of over

nonplussed. Finally he realized

that the audience waited his reply
and he answered calmly: You re
at liberty to go down into Della,
ware and preach Christianity if
you want to. Those reports about

were FALSE he said. and then sat
down. The rest of the program
was quickly taken up to relieve the
