JACK HORNER AND
THE PIE is TOPIC
Rev. =. 3. McAIiister to Speak on
Subject on Sunday Night at
Baptist Church.

It was announced last Sunday from
The pulpit that Rev. F. B. McAllister
would speak on the PHILOSOPHY of
Jack Horner and the Pie" on next
Sunday evening at the mass meeting.
Rev. Mr.. McAllister contends there
are two great forces that dominate a
great part Of our lives. these forces
are Unborn and good In themselves,
but, like all good, can be made a fear
full evil. These two instructive forces
are self propagation and self preser-
walton. The first, he says, has fire.
quently threatened to overthrow the
race. while the second has been the
cause Of much of evil done to. others
In our civilized nations. It is upon
this second topic he will deal. Graft,
says Rev. McA1lister, child labor,
women in industries that unfit for
motherhood, SOU and body crushing
institutions, greed for wealth, all
these and more have been the out
come Of the desire for the preserva-
ton Of life for self and family. The
Jack Horner policy of life is the
cause of the great modern evils. Men
seek enough for life, to lay up for old
age. to keep their families well, then
the lust for gold get the betty Of
them, and the overwhelming desire
then Is TO get SOld at any cost, even
IL others must De sacrificed for their
goal. He says the parable Of the
rich farmer who said, take thine
ease, eat, drink and be merry, might
well be proclaimed in our age, for
there are many men that hope to get
into heaven at last. although they
have been living the Horner life.
merely because they have not cussed
the preachers and thrown bricks at
the meeting houses. Rev. McAllister
stated the greatest rest a man can
have is work that is wholesome, but
some Of the Horners of earth forget
that when they haul u off we will
be in a shroud without a rocket and
if we did have one we would be too
stiff to get into it, so the fear OF
work and loss Of money need never
trouble them.
