Homer Rodeheaver, BILLY" Sun
days choir leader, made his first ap-
pearance at the tabernacle yesterday
afternoon. Most of the members of
the audience didn't know, appar-
emily, who he was. as he led in sew
eral songs, played solo on his slide
trombone and sang a solo.
Brighten the Corner Where You
Are" which proves the greatest song
favorite at all meetings, was sung
for the first time, with "Rody' lead
, ing. "Rody' also said a good word
for the visiting nurses. He wore one
of the red tags and advised everybody
70 help the cause.
Rev. e. H. jerks made the opening
prayer. and Sunday preached on the
'Pharasee and the Publican" and held
up to contempt and scorn the self-right-
eous, self-sufflcient Pharasee. He drew
himself up and, with a look of self-satls-
faction on his face, made the repeated
Pharasee's prayer
Il fast twice a week." he mimicked.
'Why, the Pharasee was better than the
Lord wanted him to be. The Lord COM
manded the Jews to fast once year.
The Pharasee tasted 1Ol times a year.
God owed him for 10S fasts."
And "Billy'' bubbled with mirth, while
the audience applauded.
sat I'm Church and Fan.
Away with the damnable idea that a
nrHm-cdn svv- himself by books AID educa-
tion and culture and bank accounts" he
shouted with sudden earnestness. You're
lost, and you'll go to hell If you don't
gain salvation through faith in Jesus
Christ"
The sarcastic shafts fell thick and fast
on lazy church members. He sat on the
chair in imitation of the "churchly
crowd"
Lots of people go to church." he cried,
land sit there and fan themselves, and
humble. Amt it hot?' and that's all the
sacrifice they make for Gods cause. II
there's anything 1 can't stand it's lazi-
ness in religion
Then Sunday hurled a number of sar-
castle don'ts for church members.
Don't come early to church." he cried.
''Come In just as the preacher is begin
ming to preach. 1t will show your mod
esty, Don't sing. No, no; don't do that.
That's what the choir is for.
Don't sit i'm the front seats. Say, I
used TO fire railroad engine, and we
used to put the loaded cars up in front
and the empties behind. 1t pulled easier
some More DOn'ts.
Don't encourage your pastor. Tell him
his faults. Maybe he'll try to mend them
Don't speak to anyone about Jesus
That's what the preachers paid for
Keep his salary behind as much as pos
ible. He can work here and the Lorc
will board him and send the ravens tc
feed him. Don't tell him when you're
sick. Then when you get well you car
abuse him for not coming to see you
when you were on the edge of the grave
mumbling the last words in most lugu-
brious manner.
III everything is going harmonlously
try to stir up a row. That's it. oh.
