When Mary MagdaIene annointed
the SayIour's feet with oil, the knock.
ers set up a great hue and cry; WHY
was not the oil sold and the money
given to the poor: The ones who
made this kick had no oil and probably
no hair, if they had they would have
used the oil to grease their own ponpa-
dours and the poor wouli have had TO
use axle grease or gone without as Is;
usually the case.
Billy Sunday says, knockers are So
low they will need f ing machine t,
get up to he'll. Such men and women
are even in the church and church
work. If some good work is accom-
plished they straightway get out their
hammers ard begin 10 knock. 1t
wasn't done in the right way, tee
much money was spent, the old build
ing was good enough, the money should
have been given 10 missions, or TO the
poor, land so on, ad nauseum. The
ones that do the most kicking are the
ones that usually give the least or per
haps not one cent. Those who kick
because some good work is not con-
Quoted according to Il cir notion, are
of not much account on earth or any
where else and what every enterprise
needs, is workers, not knockers.
