bring something to you that will help
you. We are all made of one blood
and one man and l>leve in the uni
versal
Fellowship OF Christ
and the brotherhood of man. Because
you rode here this morning In an auto
mobile instead OF hoofing It. does not
make you any better. And because
you may wear a diamond as big as Q
hickory nut in your shirt frint,. doesn't
make you any better.
When God built the universe He
spoke and the Holy Spirit had the
work done. When God Wills the Holy
Spirit does. When God Wills the Holy
Spirit will give Wheeling a new life
OF sobriety and decency.
Mr.. Sunday then told OF the episode
OF Joshua and the command that the
sun stand still. and II provoked consid-
cradle laughter. He said:
Joshua was out there fighting with
big bunch and putting IL all over
them. He said. oh Lord. give me ten
minutes more daylight and I'll beat
that bunch to a FRAGILE
All right said God, and he
reaches up and got hold OF the sun and
eaid: Don't you dare to move one bit
until Joshua gives you the highball"
(Applause).
Getting back TO the churches Mr..
Sunday said: Take the church with
out the Holy Spirit and she develops
Into second rate amusement place.

church is it's greatest course and
many OF you ministers are perfectly
satisfied az long as you can draw your
salary and your breath. The devil
can and has transformed himself into
an angel OF light and he stalks around
doing his work in his quiet way. and
the churches are not sufficiently
awake TO combat him. I never took
my money and give Il to that gang
that is SO vile that IL has TO reach up
TO touch bottom. God doesn't write
his judgment by the clothes you wear
but by what you are. and are you will
ing that the world should see you as
/ God sees you?
Some people in church don't care
II man is a drunkard and il q girl
is feeding the red light district with
her virtue and womanhood-they
don't care who goes TO hell. They are
there TO save themselves and care
not what becomes of the one sitting
next TO them in the same pew. Many

Then there is another class that
