Ccnsc law of this State as being a dis
grace to the Commonwealth Offering
every temptation 10 the court being un-
fair In that II placed Judges in tight
places giving the court unlimited power
and opening the way for abuse Of that
power.
The evangelist said the petitions from
Norristown for licenses about to he sub
mitted to the court bore the signatures
of many men who We're brought to sign
these papers under various excuses for
social. financial. business and political
TeaSohS' ana thht theSe persons Woulu
not otherwise have added their names
Dwelling on the various excuses Of
fered by man for his failure to answer
the call of the Master, the evangelist de-
Clnred "Gf YOU had Gods spirit in YOU
you'd rather please Him than please
yourself. If you are not a Christian, IL
is because you don't want to he"

clared.
"If some of you would spend less time
Mt your club, lodge, pink tea, or bridge
