 slave their children's children, wno compromise with sin Some of you people started out with a mighty bright, brilliant baby boy But that boy today is a slave to certain things that his Daddy and Mother didn't have sense enough to keer him away from. Some of you had as beauti- ful a baby girl, as pure as ever was born. but your girl today is a slave to the goddess gaig and the Christ less clique, because her mother did not have sense enough to keep her away from certain crowds.
 A minister, sitting OH this platform said to me Bro. Scoville, I think the ladies of this city are. more mod estly dressed than any city in which I have been" And, friends. that is the truth. We go into some citIeS where they are neither dressed up or down-neither up to their chin nor down to their ankles. Some mod ern dresses are nothing but pre- tense-a sham. Some women do not wear enough clothes to. flag a hand car. But I am mighty thankful that that cannot be said .cf many in this city and we must give you credit for what you have done and have been. I am not speaking Of that one gen erally-'not enslave their children's children Why do I mention dress? Because of the modern ball-the mod ern party. Whats the dress? Ex- ray. low and behold, full undress suit. That's the way to describe it. That's the truth. You know I sometimes wish I could say as Sam Jones said. He said he went to 2. ball and that he had not seen as much since he was weaned. You men that are laughing, ought to cheer the women who are dressing decently. (The men applauded tremendously All the old ginks who didn't cheer, l suppose are sorry that they dress right. didn't say that because I wanted to say anything smart. It is not or iginal-but quoted from Sam Jones, and I have a right to quote. Let them damn and knock Sam Jones
  nine times out of ten that those old cusses live so crooked they couldn't hide behind a cork screw. To mod ernize that phrase, when you find some old skunk damnins the church this revival take look at his back trail. I know of mighty fine man of the Methodist church who moved to the city, bought fine automobile a beautiful home. and put his mem bership in the church of that city His wife was one of these silly fool isb women, who are afraid their daughter will be an old maid. She showed her into society, bought heI a beautiful Parisian gown-one oi those fiimsy things that does nc' need to be described, you know how they are undressed rather than dress ed. The daughter came down stars drased for the ball. The mother pulled the robe aside and said Dad dy. SC our beautiful daughter He , looked and said: Look here, Moth CT. what on earth do you mean Why Papa, that is Parisian gown 1 Our daughter will be the center oi attraction. Oh he said, no doubt. i You either take this girl back up stirs and put on decent dress, tha' will go up to her chin and down tc her ankles, or I'll sell that limoo sine. and this house and lot. take her out of school, and we'll Gl l hack to the farm and stay there. She will not go one step out Of this house tonight, she will stop right here and now Thank God for tha' old man. (applause) Why don't yor all cheer? You old geeks who arc not going to cheer, I'll collect for the rent of the place where you are sit ting. Don't think you are so mucf smarter than the rest. If you arc more rotten, keep still. We have youl number If you agree, back It up I am talking about facts.
 At Caesars funeral, Mar. Anthon! said, "The evil that men do lives af ter them, the good is oft inferred with their bones." It is a sad thlnl to say but if some men in this coun try were screwed down in their c0f fin1, this would be better nation And the same is true of this town With glass or two under their belts they nope around on some clul porch or play golf, spending Ger man Sunday instead of Christian sabbath. God cannot use those kint of ginks and never will. That buncl stabs the church, play hell ant
