To illustrate religion, Mr.. Smith
gave an instance that occurred dur
ing the ministry in Chicago Of his
father. A rich bachelor had been liv-
ing a double life, unknown to anyone
except himself. Gypsy Smith in one Of
his sermons stated that there could
be no acceptance of God until sins had
been righted. The bachelor was
struck with the message, and ponder
ing on it, called in his pastor. He told
his pastor of his double life; of his
two children in an orphan asylum in
Wisconsin whom he had been too cow
ardly to give his name to. He motor
ed to the asylum and found one of his
children-the other was dead

CANNOT CONDEMN
OLD STRUCTURES

A board of appraisers yesterday
handed to Mayor Hinrichs the results
of their investigation into the condi-
ton of the old building at the north
cas- corner of Government and De-
Villiers streets, which had been con-
demned by the city, and a notice
served upon the owners to demolish
said structure or the city would do
the work and take lien on the prop
erty in payment for the trouble.
The board, referred to above, re-
ported that the building was not un-
safe; that it was worth $3.50, and
that the total in repairs would amount
to not more than $3.50.
One member of the board, G. E.
Shackleford, acted in behalf of the
city, and the other, Chas. H. Turner
acted for the owners.

1t is true with US IN Christian life.
Samson met and overcame difficulties
which to many would seem impossible.
The same is true to US, in Christian
life. If man tells me l am going to
have hard time in city, think of
what a wonderful opportunity 1 will
have to prove my God.
GAS long as Samson was submits
sive-to the will of God, and obeyed
His injunctions, he was successful.
You remember he met the lion and
tore it asunder; he destroyed the
fields of the Philistines with the foxes
and he slew a thousand Philistines
with the jawbone of an ass.
"But Samson was not always strong
so the scene changes. Dellah ap-
pears on the stage. The strongest
man has a weakness. He played with
it. He was robbed of his judgship
of Israel, he lost his power, and his
eyesight. The tendency among men
is to close all doors but one to the
devil; but the devil always comes into
a mans life through that one door.
The devil never shoots a gatling gun
at a man when he can get him with
a tack hammer. He doesn't tempt
man with things he knows he can
/ resist; he is a master at his art and
he plays the game well. He tempts a
man at his weakest point. I'd sooner
have drunken man to deal with than
woman who gossips over back
| fences"
He then resumed his use of the il
lustration of Samson's life, saying
! that after his fall, two or three men
had put his eyes out, when thousands
couldn't have done it before he was
! shorn of his power, and had placed
I him IN prison to work as a slave, to
grind and toll.
"And the grind" said Mr.. Smith,
ais tiresome, Christian people 60
along in their ways without a thought
of God. People go to church on Sun
! day because its proper and occupy a
! two-by-four space. They wipe their
alabaster brows with perfumed hand
kerchiefs and think they have flat
tered the preacher by staying through
his hour and a half service. Some of
you do that now. Why, in the name of
all that's good and and holy, don't
some of you stay at home or get right
with God?
"Do you remember the morning you
were converted? You wanted to rush
out of the church and tell the first
person you saw about it. Then you
changed You became indifferent.
You began the grind of your so-called
religion. You saw that nobody but a
fool would chop with an ak handle;
but still you do it. Some say you
can't lose Christ, but-to use a
thought from my Fathers sermon
His mother lost Him, and if she could
you surely can. And she didn't lose
Him by dancing through the night in
the arms of some moral leper or by
consuming hours telling doubtful tales
and cracking dirty jokes.

lations where a church worked for sc
years and then was charged with hav-
