Things Haze
CHANGED
BY A. y. Dorsett, Chicago, formerly a
resident of Baraboo.

reslQenC OF OaraUOO.
The great religious orgy at Philadel-
phia has closed and Billy Sunday, ex-
baseballist, is over SOL, 1000 richer be-
cause of it. This large sum of money,
given him by voluntary offering for his
hypnotic performance covering eleven
weeks. breaks the record and puts him
in a class by himself. People in their
sober thoughts are conservative in
their expenses in times like these, but
forget themselves when they go on a
spree.
The news reports say that sixty thou
sand people attended his meetings on
the closing day and that men and wom-
en- pulled down signs from the taber-
nacle posts and carried them away
They scooped up big .handfuls of saw
dust from the pulpit, filled their pockets
and handkerchiefs with it and carried it
home. They took the tin pans which
gathered the tabernacle offerings and
carried away everything loose that
could serve as mement0es. The crowC
got the sawdust and the saucers anC
Billy got the spondulix.
Some mildly inquisitive individual
screwed up enough courage to ask Sun
day what he did with 80 much money
and was told in substance to mind his
own business. ''You spend your money
as you please, said Billy, land so d.
l." Of course! Why not? l have
read that Sunday has big game pre-
serve out in Oregon where he goes t.
shoot pheasant and deer like an En-
lish Lord. There is nothing in the lif,
and work of the meek and lowlv Mas
ter for which we can find justification
for all of this evangelistic slang, spell
binding, stupendous collections ano
shooting estates, but they tell us that
times and conditions have changed
Maybe they have, but after all people
have not changed very much.
Several thousand years ago the ora
Giles of Greece sat on tripods over q
crevice inthe earth, from which issued
fumes of natural gas. When the gas
made them dizzy they tumbled off the
stools, frothed at the mouth and utter
ed prophecies, | have seen people in re-
vivals get so religiously excited that
they spoke in tongues ,, which amount
ed to the same thing. If you want to
see this kind of thing in it's primeval
form go to our southern states today
where the negroes go into religious
delirium much as they do in barbara
Africa, There is not much sanity left,
but people are not supposed to be sane
when drunk.
The dispatches say that Billy Sunday
has made new Philadelphia, but it
would be interesting could we gather
in all of the statistics, the bad with the
good. Next to the liquor religious I'm
toxication sends more people to the in
sane asylum than anything else, and it
would be of value could we find out how
many people, with reasons none too
strong when they went to Sundays sa-
turnalias, had broken beneath the ex-
element and gone to fate worse than
death. We are commanded to be tenn
perate in all things, why not in religi-
GUS revivals?

The recollections of Attorney K. T.
Warner of the early circus days are
certainly incorrect, both as to primary
and collegiate schools and date of circus,
The circus did not start till the spring
1884. The older boys early schooling
was at McGregor, Iowa, where they liveo
several years. They were small boys
during the war, learning their trade OF
harnessmaking from their father, Al.
having gone later with small shows.
Mr.. Warner is thinking of the band of
Baraboo in which some of the Ringing
and Gollmar boys played.
Mrs. A. G. Ringing.

j. F. Kartack says that Attorney R.
T. Warner has his dates mixed when he
comes to circus history. Mr.. Kartack
says he came to Baraboo soon after
the advent Of the railroad in 1871 and
the Ringing family was not living here
at that time. They came soon after,
however, and could not possibly have
been here previous to the Civil War.

Billy Sunday offers the following ad-
vice to unwedded young men: Never
propose to your girl when she is dress
ed in her best bio and tucker. Go call
on her and stay until about ten O'Clock.
Then leave, but leave your glove also.
Call the next morning to get your glove.
If she comes to the door with one sock
down, shoe on one foot and slipper
on the other, her old dress on, take to
the woods as fast as you can. Beat it,
Never mind the glove. Let the old
man wear 1t If it fits him. But if she
comes to the door and greets you with
smile, wearing a neat dress, her
sleeves rolled up ready to work, grab
her.

Addresses Crowd Of People.
He was then taken to corner on
Main street near the Ballingall hotel,
where he talked to crowd OF people,
who were attentive and appreciative
OF his efforts, many expressing their
belief that such road 40 he talks OF
would be a great thing for Ottumwa,
and some asking that he boost for
good roads in general about Ottumwa.
One Of the unique things Of his road,
which he claims will have solid
foundation, able to Withstand the heav-
lest traffic, 10 the cutting OF corners.
Instead of having square corners, he
proposes to cut across, making turns
tn It can b taken at high rate OF

smooth roads with concrete culverts
and steel bridges, and gave az an ex.
ample the roads in Europe. While he
expressed q hope that the United

in 4 war like the one In Europe, he
said that the good roads there we're a
great aid in transporting troops and
that they would be an added defence
70 the United States.
Mr.. Thatcher complimentsd the peo-
pie on some of the roads around Of
tumwa, and said that az long as he
was on the Blue Grass road he had lit

shall no flesh be justified in his sight,

line of truth that Christ died for our
sins according to the scriptures"
Il. Cor. 1879 that, "he bear our sins
In his own body on the tree, that we
being dead to sin should live unto
righteousness" Il. Peter 2:24), and
that, Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse Of the law. being made a
curse for u.s." (Gal. 3:13), and can
then say with Paul. for through the
law am dead to the law, that might
live unto God, I am crucified with
Christ, etc." (Gal. 2:19-2D.
And everyone who, by simple faith,
has made this great truth his own is
included in Rom. IA, Wherefore.
my brethren, We also are become dead
to the law by the body of Christ" and
can" sing with the spirit and with the
understanding also,' that grand hymn
No. 13 In Gospel Hymns:
Free from the law, oh, happy condition
Jesus hath bled, and there is remission
Cursed by the law and bruised by the
fall,
Grace hath redeemed us once for ALL
Once for all, oh, sinner receive it,
Once for all, oh, brother believe it;
Cling to the cross. the burden will fall
Christ hath redeemed US once for ALL
But, someone will say, "Then the
Christian is at liberty to live as he
pleases.' Let the bible answer
What shall we say then? Shall we
continue in sin, that grace may
abound?" God forbid. How shall we,
that are dead to sin, live any longer
therein?" Likewise, reckon We also
yourselves to be dead in deed unto
sin, but alive unto God through Jesus
Christ, our Lord" For sin shall not
have dominion over you: for ye are
not under the law, but under grace"
What then? Shall we sin, because we
are not under the law, but under
grace? God forbid. Rom. 6:1, 2, II,

these things be So"
