INTERESTING LECTURE
(BY CAPT. J. c. PATTERSON


heard Mr.. J. M. Cummins in his lee
ture on October %. on Sunday after
noon, at the First Baptist church It
was a revelation to most OF the congre-
cation OF the most gigantic and dia-
bolic method that his Satanic majesty
has ever installed in the hearts of men!
and some women all over this blessed
land Of ours, who are constantly work.
ing for the downfall OF our young wo-
manhood, your daughter and mine and
your neighbor's, but this most damna-
BILE and internal practice is not no.
ticed by the public because the public
don't know anything about it and the
average man does not care what hap
pens to his neighbor.
II is only when it comes to you and
that we commence to investigate;
then there are very few people that
know what is going on in their COM
munity or in any other in the United
States That such fearful and damna-
BILE practice is perpetrated in the
midst Of a Christian and enlightened
country, the greatest in the world, the
land OF freedom, the shelter of the
downtrodden and the oppressed of all
nations. The blessed Heavenly Father
has blessed this country above any
on the globe, America, the land of the
free and the brave, and to think that
we have in our midst in most all places /
OF our land citizens that have and
control millions OF dollars that are
used exclusively for the barter and
sale of the traffic of human souls.
From indisputable reports made |
from personal experience and knowl |
edge the city of Chicago organized a |
regular white slave market, and from
that center these demons in human |
form scattered all over our beloved |
land, in every city and village even ev-
cry state, and by kidnapping and other
means took from the homes the purest |
flowers Of the daughters of the land, |
and they were sold to the highest bid |
der and confined in houses from which |
they were never allowed to leave or
even to so out OF the doors until they
were murdered or committed suicide. |
Their bodies were carried out at night |
and dumped like carrion. These are
not fancy pictures, but from official
reports from our government by COM
petent service men, noble men who
took their lives in their own hands to
get a truthful fact, Why. many Of them
were murdered and put away and
never heard of.
These men were appointed by the
government for that purpose, and the
report was that this civilized Christian
America had, in 1912, 100000 Of the
purest ana best girls Of our land taken
by kidnapping and other diabolical
means from every city, village and
hamlet in the United States, and sold
into white slavery from which the
yearly death rate was sixty to sixty
two thousand every year, and, during
the year 1910, sixty eight thousand.
Florida furnished last year 1,400
white girls for the white slave trade.
It is almost too horrible to think of
or contemplate; why in a few cases a
few hundred were rescued from these
market houses when it became known
on wholesale raiding OF these hell
holes. These places are controlled by
millionaires, devils in human shape.
and these houses ruled by devil women.
The men and women and the emissar-
les OF this gang, where the lowest type
OF human, even below the level of the
brute.
The writer has been all over the
globe. from Russia to Japan. and !
have never heard Of such fearful con-
ditions existing in any other country.
We are so per cent ahead of the Turks.
God help the people of the United
States to work together to eradicate
such damnaible conditions and put ev-

gladly help to hang them, as they are
not fit to inhabit the earth, more dan
gerous than the widest beast or more
poisonous than the reptile. It is the
solemn duty that every community will
take steps to prevent such damnable
conditions ever to get foothold in
their midst.
Don't make the common mistake that
as long as these happenings are done
away from us it is not our fight. 1t is
your duty and my duty to clean and
keep clean our own doorsteps and also
to help by every means in our power to
help our neighbor to keep theirs clean.
And keep IN constant mind that it be-
hooves us, If true to our ideals, to get
all possible light as to our privilege or
