drive the crooks from Chicago.-Mrs.
F. NJ, Oak Park.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-01-26

The first unloads his sin by confess
sion, holy water and mass and i'm
mediately proceeds to take on an
other jag, while the other dumps the
whole darned load onto the back of
poor Jesus and keeps it there by
faith.
God is immutable, yet he offers
prayers to change him. God is in
comprehensive, yet he interprets
him without ceasing! All! beautiful,
divine and sublime doctrines, what
could we have done without them?
But, cheer up, brother! We now
have a Jesus Christ in Chicago.
Blessed are we, but oh! so ignorant.
