MACK AS A PASTOR
Tells How He Split a Church as Wide
Open as Song Book.

Tells How He Split Church as Wide
Open as Song Book.
The following is from a sermon by
Rev. e. F. McLendon in Wilmington,
where he is now holding a meeting.
Eleven years ago went to Able
Vile, S. c., and applied for admission,
and the first question that they asked
me in the examination was what was
the difference between doctrine and
dogma? And that question raised me
clear out, and 1 passed the buck and
took the count. don't suppose there
has ever been a fellow in the history
of the world that missed it as far as
did: but after mach manipulating and
wirepulling they condescended to suf-
fer my presence on hard scrambled
circuit. The presiding elder on my de-
parture for my new field told me it
was the toughest. proposition in the
conference, and that they had never
been able to handle the situation.
When arrived l found that it wasn't
T. preacher they wanted; it was an un-
dertaker they needed. OF all the colo
storage, frosty frigidity polar bear
embalming fluid, black hearse, grave
ward propositions have ever seen, or
ever expect to see. found it there.
NV first service was q funeral SER
mon and l told some beautiful little
parhetic stoyies, and we all put on the
sob stuff, and shed copious crocodile
tears, and the next morning they ran
down the road to the presiding elder
telling him that they had at last found
the preacher that they had been look
ing for Remember there was not
single solitary human being in that
church that professed religion and no
one ever thought of accusing them OF
having it..
All that week I was loading my gun
and preparing for the coming confllcI
and. on Sunday turned loose on that
bunch and they began TO duck and the
feathers began to fly. There was one
old bell wether that believed strictly
in the minority rule, and the preacher
had to walk like he said walk, ana
talk like he said talk. and come when
he said come, and go when he said go.
They called him Cousin Samuel, ana he
sure was czar, king and dictator in that
community. When / opened up in hIgn
gear-I can see Cousin Samuel now.
He wiggled and twisted and squirmed
like he had q hornet in his clothes. His
discontinue and distress was so
perceptibe that it was heartrcnd'ng.
Up to that time Cousin Sammie would
pout for week, f he didn't raise all
the hymns and of course he persist
entity insisted that would be the order
without deviations or reservations, and
his old voice was a cross between
cane mill, goose cackling, fiddle play
ing and a jackass braying.
AS a result Of my lubors split that
little church just as wide open as IL
song book, and really got them con-
verted.

Mr.. Stevenson and immigration.

The Associated Press sent out a re-
port that l was one of 'the leaders in
opposition to the bill to restrict immi-
grafton This is a mistake as l was one
of it's warmest supporters. On general
debate l made a speech assailing the
Attorney General for allowing Debs to
come unattended from Atlanta peniten-
tiary to Washington to confer about
pardon, contrary to all law and prece-
den.. The reporter Of the Associated
Press evidently mistook this to mean
that was against the immigration bill.
NV remarks in this instance were con-
fined to the Debss incident, and no at
tempt was made TO state my position
on the immigration bill, as have al
ways been in favor Of the bill. both III
