oped into regular volley.
The windows of the buildings in

the whole business is the work
of the devil.
I don't deny that messages
are received through the Spiri-
tualist mediums" but I do deny
that the messages come from
dead people.
Old Satan is acquainted with
the private affairs of every per-
son who lives and dies, and he is
able to impersonate anybody he
wants to.
On top of all the evidence that
DR.. Doyle has seen himself, he
has been told by men of ''honor
and repute' that THEY once
saw a man float out of a window
and into another window at
height Of seventy feet from the
ground. They saw it with their
own feet and heard it with their
own elbows.
What in-the name of Buster
Browns mammy-in-law has that
got to do with it? I once saw
man take a full-sized bed-mat-
tress, three trunk-fulls of wear
ing clothes and seven bushels
of playing cards out of a COM
mon plug hat. [ saw that with
my own mouth, but I never did
believe it.
About two hundred years ago,
up around Salem, Massachu-
setts, men of 'honor and repute"
men of intellect and education
were testifying in open court
that they had seen old women
riding through the air on broom
sticks.
And they actually believed it.
But now we have the Keely In
stitute and the insane asylum
for people who see things like
that.

SPEAKING OF "FURRINERS"

All this-here fuss about the
Ignorant foreign element" in
the American labor movement
does not tally very we'll with that
other flood of sob-stuf about our
duty to the foreign nations, and
how we must join the League
and lend helping hand to the
nations across the sea.
IF the foreign nations are so
cussed mean and dangerous that
we can't even endure a few of
their numbers on-ou I---ozs1l
shores, why must we be SO dog
gon solicitous of their welfare
over there?
On the other hand, if the for
eign nations are such sweet
smelling honeysuckles that we
must just fall heels over head in
love with them and tie ourselves
to them with a league of ma
tions and promise to fight all
their future wars for them-I
want to know why in the blue
blazes we can't endure them
when they come here?
Here's the reason, if you want
to know.
It is only the working-class
foreigners that we hate.
If king or a prince OF some
other gold-braided son-of-a-gun
from Europe takes notion to
bring his pet mustache and come
a-visiting, we just bow and
scrape and make forty-nine
kinds of dressed-up monkeys of
ourselves trying to do him hon
!; or.
I That's because he belongs to
the plute class and can dress
fine and splurge with the rest of
the snobs.
But if one of his ignorant,
down-trodden subjects comes
over here trying to find some
way of escape from slavery, he
finds himself just as much of a
slave here as over there, and he
hears himself spoken Of con-
temptuously as foreign scum. "
Now I never was much of a
fool over ''furriners," but I
, would like to see a little consis-
tency used as we go along If
any of the "furriners" are good
enough for us to hob-nob with
/ and sacrifice our liberties for,>
think it ought to be those who
need help the worst.
And if we can't afford to be
civil to the foreigners that come
5 within our own gates, | don't see
any use of cutting such a shine
/! about going across the seas te
a help them.

truth about things, and then it
don't make much difference to
me what anybody says about. it.
| There is a great cry being
raised in the churches these
Gays about the shortage of
preachers. They ben1oan the
TACT that the young men of the
country are not turning toward
the preaching job. It seems aw-

ply Of preachers is running
short, with no more material in
sight to fill up the vacancies.
And it seems still more awful
TO some folks that many who
have been in the "sky-pilot"
business are quitting it and TAX
ing up other jobs.
This is happening every day,
and there must be a reason, for
/ it.
/ The main reason, my dear
sheep, is this:
/ The old rotten, corrupt, lying,

ecclesiastical Babylon is soon go
ing to fall with a great crash

preachers are realizing this fact
and they are trying to get from
under before the crash comes
and who blafnes them?
