BILLY SUNDAY IN PHILADELPHIA

 Continued from page 1.) ling are doing more to damn the spiritual life of the church than the grog shops.
 Though you can't accuse me of being a friend to that stink ing, dirty, rotten, hell soaked business.
 | I believe more people back slide on account of the social side than the saloon.
 A woman who will play bridge whist is no better than a man who will go out and play poker and the man who comes home with a pocket full of money won at poker game is no worse than his wife who has been play. ling auction or five hundred all evening for a nice cut glass dish lin which to keep the bouquets that are sent to her by her church-going friends.
 Tn this connection we con- sider it our duty to warn our members against this amusement which may become to them an occasion of sin. especially the fashionable dance, which is dis gusting and revolting and fraught with the greatest dan ger to morals. A friend of mine was going on the boat from New Orleans to Havana, and among the pas sengers was a Jesuit priest. They got to talking on religion and, of course. the priest stood for the Holy Church and my friend took the Protestant side, and said to him.
 Why is it that the Catholic church is getting stronger every day in its opposition to worldly amusements, especially t h e dancer"
 The priest said:--
 Tt is another argument in favor of the confessional. By that we can tell how our people fall. How do they fall? They can trace the laxity of nineteen out of every twenty who have lost their purity to the ball room. ] The lowest down rascal in any community is dancing Metho- dist.
 GET A DIVORCE FROM CHURCH | To DANCE WITH THE DEVIL | I do not know of anything that is wrong for a church mem Der to do, that is not equally wrong for those that are not church members to do. 1 The only difference between the worldling is that the church members have promised to re- frain and you have not. tell you what l would do if 1 were in the church, and 1 was bound to dance and play cards - I would leave the church. | 1 would not stay in it.
 Get out and then you can be referred to as an ex-churcf member who got divorced from Jesus Christ so that you could dance with the devil.
 You say:-
 MT. Sunday, the church is too strict with us.
 Who can charge the church with being too strict with its young people?
 The bars are so low down now that any old hog can come and root and crawl in.
 Any old lobster with two or three suits of cloths and a bank account can break into most any church. If one church won't another will. I tell you that the church loves her young people and is indulgent with them and hopes that they will increase in common sense as they grow in years.
 The dancing Christian never was a soul winner. The dance is simply a hugging match set to music.
 The dance is a sexual love feast.

 antagonizes you, all right; if I've got to displease God to please you, you know where you can head in.
 Whine around then. but you can't work your shell games on God.
 Every good man and woman carries in his or her breast passions the same as bad men and women carry, and thus your breast becomes finder box and you ought to be careful where you go and what you do lest yod ignite it and there be an ex- plosion and wreck of your purity and manhood and womanhood.
 Does not the swinging of the partners in the square dance bring the bodies of the partners into position that would not be tolerated in decent society or anywhere else, or under any other circumstances? Would it not give a scriptural ground for divorce?
 Ma and I stopped in to look at a ball at an inauguration cere- mony. We'll I will be horn- swaggled if didn't see woman there dancing with all the men, and she wore a collar of her gown around her waist. She had a little corset on-oh. can't describe it.
 You stand there. and watch man after man as he claims her hand and puts his name on her list. Perhaps that fellow was her lover and you won her hand-- and you stand there and watch your wife folded in his long, voluptuous, sensual embrace, their bodies swaying one against the other, their limbs twining and entwining. her head rest | ling on his breast, they breathe the vitiated air beneath the glittering candelabra, and the spell of the music, and you stand there and tell me that there is no harm in it! You're too low down for me.
 Most men don't care a rip for the dance, it is the hug that they are after. That'll give your old rheumatic and gout masters a chance. A fellow has got to get powerfully old and decrepit when he doesn't enjoy a hug. I'll tell you that.
 I want to tell you l don't be- lieve that there are many people who can go on the ball room floor and dance with a pretty girl hugged to his breast and look upon her charms under the influence of fascinating music, and then go out with prayer meeting feelings. 1 will bet you, sir. if men who dance would tell the truth ninety out of one hundred will say:-
 You are right. Bill; you are the first one who ever had the grit to tell it"
 Professor Faulkner. chairman of the Dancing Masters Associ- ation on the coast. who had six private dancing schools of his own, and an income of a thou sand dollars a month, was con- verted and gave them up, and if there was no harm in it. why not keep on?
 1 have more respect for a saloon-keeper than for a dancing teacher.
 1 don't believe the saloons will do as much to damn the morals of young people as the dancing school.
 Listen to me, girls. I've never yet and never will flatly con- tradict the man or woman that tells me that he or she dances and never knew of premature indictment of passion. I say that 1 will never contradict them, but I will say then: Thank God; and get out of it right now, for the next time you

A Carnegie medal is due that editor of

In resigning as Governor of South Caro-
lima, Cole BIease acted very much like the
little boy who kicked over his sisters doll
house and went off whistling, while she wept
over the debris.
The recent lynching in Georgia, while
horrible thing, is another example of the
brand Of prohibition" rampant in the State,
and which prohibits only. the collection of
the tax from those who sell liquor.
The news will be welcomed, that there was
really man smart enough to get away with
$4,000 worth of Standard Oil Trust funds,
and few of us are rather sorry he didnD
make safe getaway with it.
William Taft is now telling the young la
dies that "loveless marriages are no longer
necessary" Up in the zone William lives in.
marriage itself doesn't seem at all necessary,
Judging from the front pages of most of the
daily papers,
Queer, isn't it. that all these movements for
lettering the farmer, advising him as to crop
diversi6cation, and so. on, come from the big
cities, and emanate from the brains Of some
men who don't know the business end of
hoe when they see it.
And in the meanwhile, the Average Farmer
IS wasting a lot of time that he might spend
in mending the harness, fixing the wood-box
for his wife, putting in new pump, and
chore or two like that The brand of ''ad-
vice" which he is reading, might do we'll to
start the kitchen fire with.
Perhaps some more of that well-known
brand of "Watchful Waiting' policy will
mollify the owners of those twelve "Ameri-
can" ships, loaded with contrabrand goods,
and sailing from neutral" country. All
were owned by foreign countries, and the
only American thing about them was the flag.
Time was when the civilized world would
have been overwhelmed at the fatalities of so
great a disaster as the recent earthquake in
Italy. But the slaughter which modern war
fare permits, has deadened our sense to the
horror Of death in numbers, and little atten~
ton has been bestowed on one of the most
stupendous commissions of nature.

AS theorists, we rank the world; all Europe
regards us as easy money" when it comes to
anything calling for dollars, from marrying
our rich girls to threadbare titles, to looking
after orphans we have nothing to do with
making.
The theorist and the professional agitator,
ana the professional charity monger should
be suppressed by law.
1t will only be when the people themselves
are reused to the actual sense of the thorough
business organization of these ''uplift"
schemes, which count as certainly on the easy
money OF the theorst and on the healthy
rake-off which they will claim as Justly theirs,
as the theorists themselves do on the certainty
OF seeing their names in print as "among
those" ETC.
Human nature is a queer thing as has been
remarked several times before, and in no one
thing is it queerer than when it undertakes
to exploit its fellow-man, for its own selfish
ends.
What most of the bread-line is interested
IN just now, is "What to Eat and How to
Get it."
Isn't it a hard matter to get accustomed to

her inhabitants, has provided theatrical

Oh, well; Great Britain's Poet Laureate
hasn't yet written poem on the war, SO
things are really not as bad as they might be.
Texans, in view of Governor Colquitt's re-
Gently expressed opinion of the Wilson Adj
mlnistration, are asking 'What is Demo-
crat, and no one seems to have the answer.
Science is wonderful thing, as all must
admit when it is known that total divorce
has been effected between the skunk and his
most distinguished attribute.
Poor, poor man; here's another Judge pill
ing it on, and declaring that the mere fact of
a woman being a poor house-keeper is not
sufficient ground for divorce.
Then again, it is such simple matter to
satisfy some women; since London has had
women police, the sufragettes haven't blown
up nor burned down single building.
The higher cost of living is offset in New
York by the very low cost of murder; you
can get perfectly good thug, who, for two
"snfs" Of cocaine and $500 will & put OUT
any man you may point out to him.
And they do say that the reason some men
are in favor of woman suffrage is, the women
agitators are too tired by their endeavors
outside the house, to talk much when they are
at home
