GYPSY SMITH IS
|. BITTEN BY 4 DOC

Evangelist Gypsy Smith was bitten
on the calf of each of his legs yes
terday afternoon by a vicious dog,
the property of a resident of East
Gadsden street, near Eleventh ave-
nue.. Mr. Smith was, at the time,
standing by the side of car which
he had been riding in, when two dogs
ran out and one of them made for
the preacher. A physician was con-
suited and the wounds were cauteriz-
ed. Last night the evangelist, suffer-
ing to some extent, preached at the
tabernacle.
Mr.. Smith did not lodge complaint
against the owner of the dog, and
there were no charges made at the
station up to midnight. 1t is under
stood, however, that there has been
considerable complaint, not only of
the dogs in question, but Of number
of animals which are allowed to run
at large in that part of the city OF
Pensacola.

this step, and their names were en-
rolled.
Mr.. Smith preached from Acts
27:29. He was eloquent in his dis
course, and rapt attention was given
him as he told the story of the lesson
he read to them, of Pauls shipwreck,
drawing therefrom lessons which he
showed 50 plainly that all understood.
"All hope that we should be saved
was then given up" was the text.
"And when your hope is gone, then
the jig's up with YOU" he said. Go
ing on and dramatically describing
the voyage of Paul, ending in the
shipwreck on the island of Malta
ne said: "The wreck that I want to
speak of to you tonight is another
wreck. The wreck of your soul.o
Many lessons were pointed out sc
plain that even the children could I'M
derstand. Talking of spiritual wrecks
he said, among other interesting
things:
'Have your own opinions and yor
will wreck your life. The man whc
says l doubt God or Christ and won't
prove it, is a fool.
