CHOCOLATE SHOP AT CHANDLER TO
 BE VERY MODERN

The Mission Chocolate Shop at Chandler. just opened for the pub lie, is perhaps the most up-to-date place of it's kind in the southwest. Believing that progressive town has a right to claim as it's very own. places of business which are thor oughly up- to- -date and modern. MT. Updyke who has created the Cho- colate Shop. has left no stone un- turned to make the people of Chandler proud of his institution.
 Everything about the Chocolate Shop is new. The interior decora- tions have a scheme carried out in blue grey, which gives the place an effect of coolness. carried off with a charm which is truly individual.
 All of the tables in the Chocolate Shop. together with the fountain are furnished in white marble. All of the cooking which will be done in the Chocolate shop will be elec- trically. The place is equipped with electric coasters. urns and boilers. There will be no offensive fumes from fuel in the Chocolate shop if it is possible to do away with them.
 The ice cream plant, and by the way. the Chocolate Shop will do all of it's own manufacturing of ice cream will be run by electricity. A complete plant for the making of ice cream has been installed, and it is Mr. Updykes intention to keep his grade of ice cream as high as it is possible to do.
 Another effort on the part of MT. Updyke will be to keep the Choco- late shop in a thoroughly sanitary condition. All dishes will be steamed before using. and other steps taken to see that everything used is clean.

$1,000 REWARD

I have decided to make q
standing offer of One Thousand
Dollars Reward to any man,
woman or child who will find the
term Immortal SOUP or never
dying soul' anywhere in the BIZ
bic, from the first chapter Of
Genesis to the last chapter of
Revelation. This is an uncondi-
tional offer, without any ifs and
ands about it, and it is open to
any person anywhere who wants
to undertake the job. All you
have to do is to take a piece Of
paper and write on it the book,
chapter and verse in the Bible
where the term Immortal soul"
or "never-dying soup' may be
found, and send it to me by reg
istered letter, and / will immedi-
ately mail you a cashiers check
for $1,000.
If the human soul is immortal
and cannot die, surely and un-
doubtedly the Bible somewhere
mentions the fact; and if it does,
then here is some mighty easy
monev for somebody. Address:
JAMES LARKIN PEARSON,
Boomer, North Carolina.

from one hundred to two or three
hundred years to get here. And all
that time you would see his light In
the heavens at night like an ap-
preaching comet.
It seems more reasonable to ms
that he would come quietly and secret
ly, and that nobody would know it for
a good while after he got here
Nobody took any notice of his go
ing away, except the little bunch Of
disciples who were with him at the
time. It was the very quietest event
possible, and the world did not know
nor care anything about it. And We
are told that his coming back will be
in like manner, which would certain
ly be quiet and unobserved.
The fool-killer., 1920-02-01

Yes, my dear sheep, that is ex~
actly what said. The doctrine
of eternal torment for the wick
ed is lie and slander against
God. Many people still believe
it ignorantly, and I am sorry for
them. But a great many pretend
to believe it who certainly do
know better. And The Fool
Killer is going to make that class
Of hypocritical hell-spouters look
mighty cheap. That SANDER
against the Creator has been al
lowed to hold the center Of the
stage just long a-plenty.
The fool-killer., 1920-02-01
ANOTHER NEW IDEA

Here is another idea about the COM
ing of Christ that I have never seen
mentioned in any literature that I
have read.
To start with we are told that Jesus
is now in heaven, at the right hand
of God. And we are told that heaven
is located away above the stars. The
preachers who use that expression,
"above the stars" so glibly are eyi-
IDENTIFY not even on speaking terms
with astronomy, OF they would know
that the intinity of space is filed with
an infinit y of stars, and that there
is not any place ''above" or beyond
the limit of the stars.
But they say heaven is "above the
stars" and Jesus is coming from
there. And they say he will come
very suddenly and unexpectedly, with
a great light shining around him, and
attended by host of shining angels
making very great display of bright
ness and shining.
Now let's see how all that will
work out in actual practice.
Light travels at a speed Of 186,000
miles per second. And you will admi,
that that is going some. But Alpha
Centauri, which is supposed to be
the nearest fixed star, is so far from
the earth that it takes ray Of light
from that star three years to reach
the earth. And remember that is ou,
NEAREST star neighbor. No doubt
some of the visible stars are so ia,
away that it would take hundreds o,
even thousands of years for ray Of
light to cover the distance.
Now if Jesus is coming back with
a literal body Of flesh and bones like
he had when he went away, he and hi
whole concourse Of angels would have
to travel at the inconceivable speet
Of light, and even then it would tax,
several hundred years to get here
supposing that the starting place il
"above the stars" as Walter Watt!
says.
I am not saying that Jesus couldn'
come faster than 10000 miles sec
ond, but if he did he would soon leav'
his light behind him, for that is al
the fast the light could travel.
So the result would be that tn
astronomers would see new star il
the east-or point of light tina
would look like star. It would ap
pear to rise in the east and set in tn
west, just like the other stars, an
very slowly from year to year it woult
| get brighter as it came nearer to tn
earth, and in the course Of hundre
or two years it would get here.
i / don't suppose anybody believe
that the coming of Jesus will be lik
that. And yet it would HAVE to b
. like that if the old theology wer
true.
. If he comes from above the starf
!, and with great light shining aroun
!; him, and if light can only travel 1856
| 900 miles second, then it is a plai
mathematical proposition, and yo
| can figure it out for yourself. ]
would certainly take him anywher

be explained on the theory that
some people would rather die
than to get up.

in progress, and he would never know
the difference till be peeped inside.
And then at the Judgment Day God
can take the phonograph all to heav-
en- and let the devil have the people.
The fool-killer., 1920-02-01

I know a woman who has a
dinple in her cheek so deep that
it looks like a gimlet hole. And
it gives her an awful bored ex-
preston, too. . ->>..

CANNED RELIGION

Of "phonograph pastors" The idea
comes, not as labor saving device,
but as measure Of economy. Pull
pits lack pastors because pastors are |
not paid enough and leave the calling |
of the ministry for more remunera- |
tive employment. The phonograph !
asks no salary, repeats the best and
most approved sermons of famous
preachers and can be shut off when
ever a sermon taxes the endurance
of the congregation. Moreover, "can-
ned sermons" can be syndicated, so
that all churches can receive the same
message on the same day.-Christian
Herald.
Christopher Betsey!
Just turn your head to one side
and let that run in. Let it soak plum
in till it greases the handspring OF
your think-box.
Canned sermons!
Canned religion!
Canned faith!
Canned hope!
Canned love!
Canned prayers!
Canned obedience!
Canned humility!
Canned happiness!
Canned-oh, shucks in August!
The whole bloomin' capoodle seems to
be already canned in the DEVILS kitch-
en-, and then fermented and got wig
gletails in it.
All over the world the Churches of
Babylon are having jeeminy-fits over
the shortage Of preachers. The young
men are just not hankering after the
| preaching job any more.
I And so the poor old meek and bid
dable phonograph is to be diked out
in frock coat and standing collar
and have pair of $500 specktacles
straddled across it's nose and sent out
to preaching.
It isn't intended as labor-saving
device, you see, but as a matter of
economy. The phonograph preacher
will not have to pay house rent and
support wife and family and smoke
15-cent cigars, and therefore it can
work cheap.
Great idea, to be sure!
And it is an idea that can be ella
borated and enlarged upon as neces-
sity arises. From the phonograph ir
the pulpit, the next logical step viii
be the phonograph in the pew. The
dear brethren and sisterin of the
Amen Corner can get them supply
of small monographs and put on re-
cords filled with "Amen!" and "Praist
| the Lord!" and "That's right, Broth
er!" and so on. And they can leav'
those monographs in the pew'
while the sermon is going on, and the!
themselves can get out on a bacl
street and serve the devil till the cow
teome home.
The canned audience can be time,
SO as to say "Amen" just at tn
proper place during the canned ser
mon, and some good old canned siste
could bust out and shout few round
every little bit, and it would be JUS
the jimdandiest sort of a service al
around.

AM IT'S WUssER THAN THE FLU

But it seems that very lately
He's been driven down from there. |
He is now on earth among us,
An he knows his days are few;
So he's brought an epidemic
That is wusser than the Flu.
He's still peddling that. old whopper
That he told to Mother Eve,
An he's got the folks a-thinkin'
They must listen an believe.
So Immortal Soul" fanatics
Think it reasonable and true
ALI this Spiritism twaddle-
But it's wusser than the Flu.
If the soul is still alvin
When the body is no more,
An a-shoutin' an a-singin'
Over on the Other Shore,
What's to hinder it from speakin'
Back across to me an you?
But it's just the devils magic,
An it's wusser than the Flu.
Yes, they say the dead are livin',
An that no one ever dies,
An they come back on visit
From their mansions in the skies
Come with messages and greetings,
An try hard to get them through;
But we know it's demonism,
An it's wusser than the Flu.
So the witches peep an muttec
In dark stuffy room,
Till the soul comes in a-ridin'
On the handle of broom.
Then they gather round an listen
For some satisfyin' clue;
But they're always disappointed.
For it's wusser than the Flu.
-Yet the tide is rising higher.
An the world is goin' mad,
An wherever people gather
It's the one an only fad.
Ouija boards and spirit-writin',
An all sorts CT booger-boo;
It's the masterpiece Of Satan,
An it's wusser than the Flu.
All because the Orthodoctors
OF Divinity have said
That man is still alvin
When we know that he is dead.
That has doomed the devils business
To beat all ever knew;
opiritism's on rampage,
An it's wusser than the Flu.
Now the churches must accept it,
Or reject the DEVILS lie
That the soul was made immortal
So it couldn't ever die.
That will split the churches open,
And destroy their doctrine, too;
It's an awful epidemic,
An it's wusser than the Flu.
IT'S a rannin' people crazy
Just as crazy as q loon
And the bug-house institutions
Will be running over soon.
Flu can hurt persons body,
An that's all that it can do;
Apifitism wrecks the reason,
So it's wusser than the Flu.
