cut No, dear minister, you are not
osing out at all, the auto is simply
out because it costs some
thing. You have made your gospel so
Tree that we don't want it any more.
We don't want charity. We want the

auto has cut the commandments down
to six, and has brought us a pleasing
luxury of great expense and made us
decide that if we must go broke we
are going to do it in the most thrill

revival meetings for autos and get
them converted to church and Sunday

of the business, but there arc better
ways to get rich quick.

children, sloppy big girls, splendid
young wives, fine young men, crooked
business men, flowers blushing unseer
