The very life Of this great country
depends on the progress for better
living and better thinking on the
part Of the boys and girls. and the

the participants are punished 1t Is not

the crime, but for the lessons 1t may
give to others who have 80 far been

A Strange Preacher!

There was once q minister OF the

Who never preached in one.
Who never proposed a church fair
to pay the debts with which the
church was burdened.
Who never founded new sect.
Who was known to have drank
wine with sinners
Who never received a salary.
Who never asked for one.
who never wore a black suit or q
white necktie.
who never used a prayer book, or q
hymn book, or wrote a sermon.
who never hired great musicians or
singers to draw people to hear the
word. b
who never went thru q course OF
theological study.
Who never was ordained.
Who never was even converted.
Whose abiding places were always
among the poor. B
Who made no distinction between
sinful men and sinful women,
