4TH CHAPTER OF SAMPSON Beginning with the First Verse.

Y ffearRe3 unto me ye Autaists g. give ear to the voice of thy Cod c 1 the first day of the week which the Sabbath thou shalt geF out u. gas.sohariot that I have given thee and load myself in and speed thea away to the uttermost parts of the earth. Thou shalt cast far from thee all thoughts of thy dear home church and thy duties and obligations thou shalt forget. Thou shalt lay thy re- .igion on the shelf and thy heart thou shalt do up in napkin and take 1t not with, thee lest it chide thee on the way. Thy belly thou shalt take with thee and buy mer- chandise for it like ice cream and scft drinks favored with evil spirits. 'h F -lsll e~e1 v~'l for 4 ;s t',-r Gtd and without it thou wouldst die ar. U dust WI cn tl1u arL. Thou shalt be honest and pay for thy merchandise with the nickel5 thou m ghtest have dr6pped in the contri- button box which is far from thee. Thou shalt speed like Jehu on every good road and if the still sma voice tempteth thee to return thou sha t drown its sound thereof with thy muffler Thou shalt let no thoughts of thychurch worry thee and let thy Sunday School class be far from thee and if thou passest Christ on the way thou are forbidden to ask Him to ride lest one tender loving look would cause thy hand to tremble and thou lose control of the steering wheel and thy journey be upset and thy soul go to judgment and thy auto to the garage and the accounts against thee in both paces would be large. Thou shalt fill the day with hilarity and let no one know that thou art church member. Thou shalt go boating and fishing and at tend ball games, and other amuse- ments. And if, by chance, thou shouldst hear a hymn or prayer of fered let it not quicken thy con- science nor annoy thy soul. And when thou hast had thy fill of pleas ure and the holy Sabbath is drawn to close, thou shalt hie thysef back to the home that l, the loving God, has blessed thee with.
 Again thou shalt speed thy machine like Jehu and keep the declining hours of the holy Sabbath blue with cigar smoke and burned gasoline. Thou shalt arrive home a little too late to attend evening worship in thy dear home church, therefore thou shalt spend the evening in an easy rocker with thy neighbor And when thou layest thy body away to sleep in the downy bed I have given thee, thou shalt offer up this prayer as a sweet incense to heaven:
 0 Lord, Dear Lord, Maker of hea- ven, earth, automobiles and gasoline, we thank thee for the fun and folly of this day, for the rapturous excite ment and perfect contentment we have had away from thee. And if we have done aught we shouldn't have done; forget it for our sake and remember the' bad against us no more.
 Forgive us for our short comings and long goings.
 And wilt thou bless our dear pastor who has preached thy word to our empty pew and borne us to thee in prayer and implored thy. mercy on our fIeeting souls. And as we keep him poor, wilt thou keep him humble and be near him in his loneliness and solitude. We thank thee that as souls have speeded to hell we have been permitted to speed toward thee on high. And we promise thee, most merciful Lord, to attend thy sanctuary when autoing isn't good, and Justify we'll sing thy praises, and with tenth of a tenth will we repienish thy treasury. And while the dear pastor is preaching thy word to sinners we will plan another trip, and in the meantime if our soul is called to our eternal home open wide the pearly gates for us and let us speed to our abode with thee for ever and ever. Amen.
