CONGRESS OF RELIGIONS.
"I think one of the biggest curses that
ever came to America was the congress
of rellslons held in Chicago during the
Worlds Fair. There were there Chris
tian men sitting in with NUTS like Hin
dus, followers of zorasters, shlntlsm,
Parsees. Confucius-they had their pa
godas and Joss houses and temples and
there we're sun worshipers in Chicago,
who built high wall around a little
Joint-they built house with glass and
went in there to worship that the sun
would eliminate sin. They were sun wor-
shippers.
"a fellow came to Chicago a few years
ago and he didn't have clothes enough on
him to make pad for crutch. And he
came to spout out some heresy, fo-de-rol
tommyrotLhe had an instrument filled
with a lot of needles, and he would inject
a concoction that would eliminate all sin.
Today he is rated ut millions.
you know a man has printed a book
and they buy 1t UP so fast they can't turn
1t off the press fast enough, in which he
advocates that marriage should not be n
life contract, but on the instalment plan,
like you buy furniture.
"They see girl that is pretty good look
ing and they go UP and say: 'Cissie, let's
make UP and try It for six months, and II
we like oneSanother at the end of that
time the same as We do now, we will con-
tinue. If we don't, we will split UP and
call 1t off, Thank God, that such an In
famous, God-forsaken, hel-born doctrine
Will never exist as long as man breaches
Gods word and woman will hear it.
Now 1 have not one word to say
against any man or woman who was born
or has come across the seas. We all
originally came from across the sea- and
I will be among the first to stand at Ellis
Island and extend the hand of welcome
to any man or woman who wants to come
here and assimilate our ways and condi-
tions, and live beneath the Stars and
Stripes, but so help me God, If will yield
to any class or clique-and there are
multitudes of them, half million to q
million every year-just ,multitudes of
Homecoming with just enough money
and materials enough to escape being
paupers and criminals, and they settle
here and become a carbuncle on the neck
Of the body polite. They turn our idea
of the Sabbath into the Continental idea,
with their beer gardens and beer drink

the public schools and letting in their
dirty licentious dances. Let them keep
their hands off our schools. If they don't
like our way. let them stay out.
81 am an American from the top of my
head to the bottom of my feet. and
will not yield to any man. Sixty-eight
per cent. OF the criminals of the United
States come from foreign shores, or are
born of foreign parents. So you see that
that has something to do with 1t. That
Is not the only thing: so years of negative
on the part of a good many
preachers has something to do with it,
too. The liberalizing tendency has
stunted its growth and dried up it's foun-
tain head. This old world needs Jesus
Christ as much today, here, in the goth
century, as she ever needed Him. She
always will need Him, and don't go away
With the idea that a time will ever come |
when you will be immune from the need
Of this atoning blood of Jesus Christ to
keep you out of hell
OLD STUFF; NEW NAME.
'"There is another crowd that gives us |
a fascinating mixture of ethical culture,
higher criticism and new thought. The
Bible says there is nothing new under
The sun; 1t is the same old devil that in
spires what you call new: it is the same
Did stuff. only 1t has a new name.
"a Goddess cowboy once went to a
1rownstone church-with a high-toned
1reacher-I am halfway house between
he brownstone church and the Salvation
Army. They are both needed and SO is
he halfway house. Well, this fellow
