On the other hand, the devil is doing
just the opposite. You pick out some
of them. Bob Ingersoll, infidels. Tom
Payne, infidels. See, that is the way
the devil works, all through. The
Lord picks out high type of man
hood or womanhood, then He tries to
mold other people. Do you see it?
Sure!
Now, every nation has made its
place in history, my friends, by pro-
ducing its own type-Germany, think
| ers. France, writer's. Italy, artists.
Scotland, theologians. England, states
men. Wales, preachers. Ireland, ora
tors. United States, captains of in
! dustry.
But wait-the splendid period of
any life has been the fighting period
Israel and her emancipation from
/ Egyptian bondage. Greece and the
memories of Variations. Scotland
and the old convenanters. England
and the commonwealth. France and
the Revolution. America and her lib
erty and freedom from the yoke of
bondage. and that is the reason we
are singing, my Country 'Tis of
Thee" instead Of God Save the
King!"

He wants you to live in the world

We Win With
| Open Eyes.
/ l tell you we always win when
we've got our eyes open. You see
| how Gods brave prophet stood before
| those four hundred, and that old
| king with a crown on his head and
said: do you want me to talk soft

saith, that will I speak, and l will tel

Now John the Baptist stood out IL
the wilderness, and he cried: aye

, will send for the circulation manage,
to see before they write an editorial
We want fathers that won't allow hel
to crush their boys without fight
We want mothers that won't ALLOW
some bull-headed, spiderlegged dud,
in the form of a devil of fellow tt
. come in and take their girl ava.
, without a protest and a fight.
Oh, we need a real out-and-ou
