tinued the speaker, Abraham towers
out, like a mountain above molehill,
and beside him some of our modern
gimlet eyed, heel-worn fellows shrink
like Edward Hyde in Doctor Jekylls
| clothes.
When those fellows over in Baby
lon offered booze to Daniel, although
he was only II years old, he said,
Nothing doing He told them where
to head in. Moses pushed aside the
greatest sceptre Of any kingdom and
did what his heart told him was right.
! BE We strong and show yourself
man.
Big Jobs Look for Big Men.
David was a man Of lofty purposes
and his life was influenced by those
that had preceded him. 1t wasn't an
accident that made David a king. The
big Job is always looking for big men.
A round peg will not fit into a square
hole, even if he is a university profess
sor.
1.-The young buck who inherits big
fortune without working for it," con-
tinued Mr.. Sunday, 'is going down the
line so fast you can't see him for the
fog The man who has real, rich, red
blood in his veins, instead Of pink tea
and ice water, when the lions Of oppo-
sition roar, thinks 1t Is only call for
dinner in the dining car. and he goes
ahead and does things.
| There are some going around dis
guised as men who ought to be arrest
ed" the evangelist interposed. ITO
know some men Is an invitation to do
right; to know others is an invitation
to know dirty booze and to blot the
family escutcheon, insult your mothers
and sisters. The size Of the man de-
pends on his mind, not on his muscle.
There Is lots of bulk but little brains
in some men.
Its sad day for a young man
when Bill Taft's Overcoat wouldn't
make him a vest" he added, amid
shouts of laughter. in which even staid,
stern faced professors joined with the
students.
| Too many fellows look like men
from across the street, but when you
get close to them they shrivel up"
Effect Of Example.
TT makes a difference what kind of
an example you follow. If Thomas Edi-
son should say to his boy, be an inven-
tor the boy would know what he
meant, but if some red-nosed, beer
soaked old reprobate should tell his boy
to be a man. the boy would be all In.
| Lots of fellows today turn out bad be-
cause their fathers talk and walk do
not agree.
THE best thing that can happen to
young man." said Mr.. Sunday, lis to
come under the influence Of a real man
| Everyone has hero, whether 1t be on
the football field or in the classroom,
and if every one would lead right to-
day, there would be no going astray
| tomorrow.
There are some men in this world
that when they are around you turn up
your collar, feel chills running up and
down your back and when you look at
the thermometer, you find the temper
perature is about go degrees below
zero"
Then followed the evangelist's ia
nous story of how David killed Goliath
considerably tempered to suit the cul-
ture of his audience. He told how
David boldly asked who the big lobs-
ter was" and why he was "strutting
| around as If he was the whole cheese,
the head guy Of the opposition party.
David put down the sword that Saul
| had given him, for he felt like fellow
| in a hand -me-down suit two sizes too
large. He picked up one Of his little
pebbles, slung it across the river and
hit poor old Goliath on the koko."
Finally quieting the applause he had
aroused, Mr.. Sunday defended his use
Of slang by remarking that his method
of telling the story was an example OF
modern cl4ssics," and just as proper as
the use of the word rotten" when "a
chemical disintegration due to the for
nation Of new compounds" was meant.
David Not Underhanded.
Whatever David did he did in the
open, the evangelist asserted. There
| was nothing underhanded; nothing in
the dark. He added:
Some fellows are working so hard
to become angels they forget to be
men. If you will study your Bible you
will find that the men Of old were sub
ject to the same temptations as the
men Of today, but they didn't let their
temptations get the best OF them.
IF your manhood is buried in doubt
and cheap booze, dig it out. You have
to sign your own Declaration of lnde-
pendence and fight your own Revolu-
tionary wars before you can celebrate
the fourth Of July over the things that
try to keep you down.
THE best time for man to sow his
wild oates is between the age Of S5 and
| 80 years. A siX-ply drunk is about as
good a passport into commercial life
as record for house breaking, and the
youth who goes to the mat with a half
pint Of redeye in his stomach, will be
as beneficial to humanity as one-leg-
ged man in a hurdle race"
IF knew that when the undertaken
pumps that pink stuff into me and
embalms me, that the end Of all had
come, would still be glad l lived n
Christian life, because it meant life
of decency," he said. II would rather
go through the world without knowing
the multiplication table than never to
know the love of Christ. / don't un-
derestimate the value Of an education,
boys, but just try living on oatmeal
porridge. Get your education but don't
lose sight Of Jesus"
Brilliant Men Compared.
The speaker then commented on
Aaron Burr, one of the most brilliant
men ever educated at Princeton univer-
sity, and compared his career with
that Of Robert E. Speer, religious work.
er, whose marks alone eXcelled the
traitors. He also paid his respects to
the dogma of Bob Ingersoll, and de-
clared he would spend his entire life,
