trousers and has some intelligent, trim
looking woman"
Sunday was still hoarse from the
effects OF his Omaha campaign, and TO
make himself heard made trumpet OF
his hands, turned his face 20 the
sounding board and screamed his words.
In his excitement At times he nam
mered the top OF his pulpit, jumped on
chairs, waved his arms and kicked his
legs. pounded the floor with his fists
and ran back and forth on the platform
bowling and yelling, stopping now ana
then to wipe away beads OF perspira-
ton as they tricklCd down his chm.
Concluding his morning sermon he
yelled:
"You to-day can step out and in the
name Of the Holy Spirit say TO the
forces Of sin 10 come out. l DEFY every
one of the dirty bunch OF you'll Come
on you forces Of iniQuity IN Syracuse
that have made the church cuspldor
and q doormst to wipe your dirty feet
oni Come on you traducers, come on
Won triple extract Of infamy, come on
YOU assassins of character, come on
YOU sponsors Of harlotry, come on you
defamers of God and enemies OF the
Church. Come on you bullnecked,
beetle-browed, hog-jowled. peanut
Drained, weasel-eyed four-Aushers, false
alarms and excess baggage! In the
name of God challenge and defy you!
It's mighty easy 10 lie about man
when he isn't on the Job. I'm here now
for six weeks. Come on and I'll deliver
the goods express prepaid" >.
In the afternoon sermon on 600
Grenadiers,' the evangelist stormily
denounced trailers. -,

he said. "and in the lodge and at home.
Don't hunt through the Church for

a rough time with six OF them. ! sup
