tenths OF you are asleep. / would
like to see some of you wake up and
walk around with a little life. AS a
bunch, YOU are about the slowest and
deadest and most sluggish and
dormant church people in religious
lines that ] have ever met. The
blighting. cursing and damning sin
OF Indifference seems to have hold
on all OF you.
Il don't fear the saloonkeeper who
threatens to shoot me half as much
as ! fear you non-existing church
members To the threatener | would
say Praise God. somebody is awake
at last There is more respect in me
for the saloonkeeper than for some OF
you professed Christians. / feel that
when tine saloonkeeper Is converted
he will work just as hard on the
Lords side as he has on the side OF
the devil
