she had been told by christ's owl
preacher that she was living unlaw
fully with a man and a col1ort Of th
devil, asked for his head"
he cited Daniel in the lions den, th,
instance of the insubordinate officer ii
the army of Alexander the great VIII,
begged for mercy because his name
too, was Alexander, the battle of Look
out Mountain, Valley Forge and tht
| British soldiers who were told by tn.
wife of Gen. Anthony Wayne they
would find her husband out on the fir.
ing line and not inside the featherbe6
they ripped open with sword to SET
II he had hidden himself inside, all tc
illustrate some of his most forcefu
points in his address.
Scored Credit Given Mayors.
The evangelist scored so much news
paper space being given to the mayors
OF American municipalities and es-
pecially deplored so much credit being
given them by the newspapers for en-
forcing the laws.
Why should they be given credit for
enforcing the law?" he shouted
That's what they're paid to do. That's
what they're elected for-to enforce
the laws. And if they don't enforce
the laws they're a set of liars and
thieVing hypocrites who have stolen
the confidence of the people and are
| robbing them OF their time and rights
by holding the Office. And nine times
out OF ten they belong to the whiskey
and prostitute gang that run the red
light districts. I could whittle a man
out of block of wood that would be
more Of a credit as mayor than some
who are elected to those Offices"
Then he talked about the lives of
young girls who were vivacious and a
little inclined to Irritation and finally
of their marriage. He asked men to
have more respect for their wives and
wives for their husbands and showed
what faith would do and the part it
had played in the worlds history.
Hypocritss Are Williams.
IF there is one man I have no use
for 1t is a hypocrite who says one
thing to your face and then another
behind your back. think he is a.
doubled-dyed william. I hear that peo-
pie here have said a lot about me and
that you have heard great deal that
is bad about me. Well I've heard some
things about you, too.
eff I don't live what 1 preach I'll
leave the platform tomorrow" he de-
clared. IF knew there was no here
after, that death was simply an end
less sleep without any awakening ever,
I'd live just the same way I'm living
now and try to help people to help
themselves and be decent.
This army Of grenadiers in the
christian cause is not what it ought to
be. 1t needs many more men to enlist
to bring it UP to the right size to beat
the devil. You may tell me you al
ready belong to the church. That
doesn't mean you're right. A lot of
people are joining churches these days
who don't think of Jesus Christ.
They are just playing tag with God
and hide and seek with the devil by
joining churches and Christian Sci
ence and a lot of other concoctions
that come along.
There are lot of people who believe
in christianity at the last moment, and
who never do a christian thing until
the doctor feels their pulse and tells
them they're not going to live more
than an hour. Then they send for a
and have him pray for them
when they're running low and the gear
breaks and the gasoline runs out.
But you must never give up in this
fight" he cried When the Oregon
made its famous trip through Magellan
and up the Atlantic in the Spanish war
President Mckinley was seated one
day surrounded by Vice President
Fairbanks and the secretary of war.
He was deeply concerned about the
fate of the Oregon and wondered if it
were ever going to make the trip. He
asked the secretary Of war if he
