FROM GIRLS KISS
Such Is Warning Of Pastor Taylor
in Speaking Of Local Misses

Commenting upon the fashions
worn by some New Britain girls and
the unwise use of paints and powders.
Rev. n. IL. Taylor, pastor of the
Peoples Church OF Christ. told his
congregation Mt the morning services
yesterday that IL n man was to kiss
some of them, he would die of paint
ers' collie.
Text: Now when Jesus was risen
early the first day of the week. he
appeared first TO Mary Magdalene,
out of whom he had cast seven
devils"
Some people seem to be surprised
when they read about seven devils
being cast out of one person. But in
Mark 8, we read where Jesus cast
legion of them out of one man.
Now IL men in Bible times were pos
sessed with several kinds of devils,
why may not that be SO today. l want
to speak of seven different kinds of
devils that are controlling men and
women today.
The first one that I want to speak
about il pride. The word tells us that
Pride goeth before destruction and
a naughty spirit before a fall"
believe that there are hundreds that
arc kept away from the Lord because
OF their pride. You are too proud to
let anyone know that you are con-
cerued about your soul. No doubt
you have said that If God had some
other way for me to be saved than
the way OF humility you would of
taken Christ long ago. A pastor was
calling on a sick lady and she said
TO him:
Are there two places in heaven?
am sure that cannot bear to be
i'm heaven with Betsey; she is so I'M
refined"
The pastor said. Don't trouble
yourself about that, madam. until you
get that pride out OF your heart, you
viii not be there yourself
The second devil is the devil OF
self-righteousness. when YOU speak
to some people about being Chris
tians they say:
Never mind me, I'm all right:
never murdered anybody: 1 pay my
honest debts and ! want TO be
credit to my family"
I spoke to a man in my meeting
one time and he said:
Don't bother me. this Is my first
time here, and you ought to be glad
that I came to hear you
They forget that tho service lis for
their benefit. General Miles was
ed to sell him n buIlet-proof vest. He
turned to his servant and asked for
n high-powered rife and saying to
the men with the vest: .A ,
Put the vest on and stand over in
that corner till we test it"
He arose. stammered, and went out.
So with you, my friend. your right
eousness will not stand the test.
The third devil is the devil of lust
This il the devil that has marred the
human family for centuries. we are
living in a day when this devil seems |
to be ruling. Men and women often
marry because of lust and in n year |
or two they put away their husbands |
and wives to marry again. There |
has been many n man who has pre- |
tended that he loved n girl, but after |
he married her she found there was |
just one motive and that was that |
the devil OF lust might be gratified. |
But can we place all the blame on :
the men? The way that many of the |
girls, and even married women of |
New Britain dress. il is an appeal to |
the lust of men.
This leads me to the fourth devil. |
which is the devil OF dress. God have |
mercy upon lot OF poor. silly things |
that call themselves girls. who are |
with toothpick heels. a.. dress made |
out of n yard of goods: rats and mice |
in their hair and hanging down over |
their ears. and some of them look |
as IL they just got out of a flower bar
rel and mixed that up with a little J
paint. Sam Jones said that IL a man |
was to kiss one OF them he would die
with painters collie.
The NTH devil is the devil OF
greed. The devil OF greed is Staying
its thousands these days. He is will
ing TO increase his bank account at |
the expense Of his soul man had /!
better go to the poor house than to
sell his soul for greed. Some one
has said that IL a lot OF those old /
would get to heaven. they
would be out before breakfast dig /
ging up the golden streets.
The sixth devil is the tongue. This
devil is often called the dumb devil
The Bible speaks about men being
brougirt to the Lord who had the
