hog and manicure his nails and tie rib
bons on his tail, and he'll seem just
like sheep, until he grunts. A lot of
ministers have been leading their sheep

until they see a mud puddle of card

"Oh, don't be disturbed. This ism It
anything toward what I am going to
give you when I give my talk on
amusements. I'm going to tell you
why so many churches in this town
have amounted to SO little. A lot of
you people know more about your card
decks than you do about your Bibles
You We got more hog nature in you than
you've got sheep nature, or if you don It
like that, you've got more of the world,
the flesh and the devil in you than of
tne spirit or Jesus CHRIST.
There are too many church mem
bers haven't been born again. Lots of
people influential in your churches

pleasure at his jollity, for he puckered
up his face and made all sorts of grim

the death scene of Balzac, and the trail
hitting then began.
At the after meeting he listened to
one young woman s confession and

feel right with God until she goes home
and burns deck of cards she's got in
the house You've been pretty steady
card player, have youf"

"that, if anything happens to me here
Or any other place and I'm found dead,

of this country. I've been trailed by
detectives ever since came here, and

that men are watching me. There's a
gang in this town that would stick a

where they can stick me up"
