Many IN Unlaeky Dog Is Among
the Human Beings, but Quit
Showing Hin Around.

There are many unlucky dogs in
'our human kingdom. but it Is never
too late to say II am here to help
you" Many people love to kick q
man by telling lies about him and
many q padded church roll lies.
There are thousands in the world
who will never get into the pool
only as others help them. These
people are cripples in their hearts
and minds.
In this summary Rev. Big Jim
Kramer last night told the congre-
cation at the First Baptist church
that even the lowliest can always
be helped. Preceding DR.. Kra-
mer's talk, L. Saxon, song leader,
sang Don't Forget Jesus" There
will be no sermon tonight by Big
Jim. but tomorrow morning the
services will be resumed.
Speaking on you've Got to Quit
Kicking My Dog Around" Big jim
said: ;
"A dog is our favorite pet. The

more about raising dogs than they

Too often ether tails may wag, but

ut seems that among human be-

born under the wrong star and al
ways come out at the small end of
the horn. Some go here and there
and try this and that and never
shake hands with anything but bad
