HITS "UNCHRISTIANITY
OF SOME CHRISTIANS
Gypsy Smith Says Dogs Are Too Good
to Pal with Some Churchgoers.

III I was little dog 1 wouldn't wag
my tail around some Christians" said
GYPSY Smith, jr., last night The evange-
list decried the unChristianity of some
Christians. They are not a bit like
Christ" he said mo wonder the
churches do not make converts as they
should, with some frozen-faced Christians
to welcome the sinners. The devil works
In the lazy church. 1t is alright to sing
Rescue the Perishing,' but rescuing them
is different proposition. There are thou
SANDS OF people in Washington that will
never darken your church door unless
you go after them. There are thousands
going headlong to hell because the church
Is incompetent. 1t is sitting still, inactive,
and the devil does not care how many
churches there are on a block as long
as they stand still.
The only difference between the grave
ana rut Is the depth. We are 80 afraid
Of our social and religious regulations
that we bar the door to Christ You
must have faith to be a real Christian.
Just because you do not understand
now your food assimilates, do you re-
fuse to eat? You must believe that Christ
is the Christ II you are to meet Him
later. Why are your churches standing
still? What business man is there that
VIII permit the investment that is in
the churches and tolerate the results that
some Of our churches get when they are
supposed to be converting people for
Christ Compare the returns of the
church to that Of a business. You must
advertise II you want to get results
We have libeled and cursed the sinners
long enough. II is tims we did some
thing else for them"
