SINS OF WOMEN

preacneu very 1orce1ul sermon at
Lower Macedonia Baptist Church in
the forenoon of July 18th, at which
time he spoke to women only, his sub
ject being "The Sins of Women"
A synopsis of the sermon is pub
]ished herewith.
Ignorance is without doubt one
of the chiefest allies of the devil.
Many are the crimes that have been
committed because of ignorance.
Sin of Mock Modesty. 1t is alarm
ing to think of the amount OF mock
modcsty that mothers show towards
their daughters. Thousands of girls
are today hitting the tobogan sled
were too timid to teach them the
truth at an early age. 1t is the duty
of every mother to teach her daught-
er the great simple facts of life, the
purpose of her being and how she
came into the world, and no mother
has any right to shirk this duty and
!eave it to the public school teacher,
for one little rotten yellow minded
school girl can innoculate nearly ev-
cry girl in the school. The place to
start to fighting this monster sin is
not at sweet sixteen but back yonder
at the cradle.
Sin of Double Standard. For thou
sands of years the womanhood of
lor l,nc inI H.. L.
,tandard of morals, that is, having
one standard for men and another
;or women and no one in all this
world is today responsible for the
the women.
The Sin of Immodest Dressing. 1t
is alarming to notice to what eX-
tccmcs our women go when it comes
to matter of dress. Today they are
wearing dresses all the way from
nine to fourteen inches from the
ground. Hear me: The day is not
far when the legislatures of our
ftates will have to take action against
this and give certain rules beyond
which no woman dare go in the ques-
,:on of dress. Do you ask why? Lis
ten, it is because appeal to the ply
seal rather than the spiritual. The
hobble skirt, the transparent skirt
and the abbreviated skirt, all these
appeal to the animal forces of man.
Sin of JOY Riding. The devil is
never such monster as when he
comes in the form of a decent man.
For the past ten years he has been
employing new method, and this,
the night JOY rides that our young
people are taking. | would as soon
give my sister a direct passport to
hell as to allow her to get into an au-
tomobile around here at night with
some of these pumpkin head pimps
that own and operate cars in and
around this town.
The Sin of Illicit Love. The mean
est and most depraved woman in this
town today is that one who will lay
adside her marriage VOW and love
4 good woman IS the best thing this
side of the Golden Gates, and a mean
woman is the worst thing this side of
the pit.
The Sin of Hugging Set TO Music.
Fox the pas, twenty-five years we
lave had a thing in this country call
I'd dancing, but today it is no longer
!ancing but pure old time downright
hugging set to music and some you
Ike to be Rugged very much. The
dances Of today, such as the turkey
rot, tn Mobile Duck and the Fox
Trot are only the grandfathcrs and
mothers of the Tango, and hear me,
say it will you? The child of the Tan
20 is the mcanest and lowest down
thing that ever wigglcd out of hell,
which is called the Hesitation Waltz.
Sin Of Flirting. If the girls who
fiirt could see themselves as others
see them they would recoil in hor-
! row. Yes, you would. When a woman
makes eyes at a man he is going to
make eyes back at her and when she
Has passed by he will say to the rest
)t the bunch She is dead easy"
Men estimate women by the estimate
hey place on themselves
Sin Of Divorce. There is lust one
Hs ion that gets by us when it comes
> divorce and that is Japan, and
,rere are five women out of every six
nave been divorced. Back in 1913, in
Tie city of Chicago there were five di-
Vprcc :Ascc III The civil cour. ior ev-
every six marriage licenses
ssu"d, and one Judge after healng
five thousand divorce cases got sick
of the Job and asked to be relieved of
his judgeship.
The Sin Against Motherhood. So
c!ety has put maternity out of fash
ion and substituted automobiles and
bull pups instead. Some men are go
ing to the devil and getting divorced
today solely because they refuse to
play second fiddle to fancy dog.
