You are a fool. a man may SIN
cerely believe he can handle nitro
glycerine and It won't hurt him. but
II he monkeys with It, they will look
for him with spy glass and take
him up with a wh.sk broom and
dust pan
A fellow tried that oat In Indiana.
was preaching where they were
drilling for oil. They have state
law where the fellow that hauls tho
nitrogylccrine has to have II little
wagon with patented springs. This
fellows wagon broke down and he
got a wagon from a farmer and put
the nitroglycerine in It to drive II
over and put It in a storing place.
Going down hill the wagon struck
a log, and eight by the bridge near
the bottom, they found the heel to
one Of his shoes. That was all they
ever found. He was sincere in his
belief.
In Sidney harbor. in Australia,
they say they have one OF the most
beautiful hadbors In the world They
have what they call the North head
and South head and In betwocn
those two heads Is the entrance to
the harbor Then the harbor runs
off and dips right down to the coast
line and shuts abruptly up.
There is a lighthouse down there.
one night the steamer Duncan
Dunbar was coming TO make the
harbor at sidney AMI they mis-
4 took the South head for the North
head and steered in between these
two. They ran over the locks and
went down.
Everybody was lost but three. The
captain was sincere, but he was
wrong. His sincerity, my friends
didn't save the lives OF $50 people
that were lost on the steamer Dun
can Dunbar. And man that be-
lieves that God Is his father, ought
to live like his father.
