"Fine Day Of H."
my Impressions and observations
for the day, young man? I've had a
fine day of it, and have enjoyed my
visit to Due West and to Anderson"
said Mr.. Sunday. you will hardly
understand what 1 mean when 1 tell
you what a pleasure it is to preach to
such people as faced me in both those
places. If you had travelled all about
the country and preached day In and
day out before audiences Of foreign
populations Of people where there Is a
grea. deal Of foreign blood about, then
you'd know. Those people today
showed by their very countenances
their Americanism and their ideals and
aspirations; they show the character
that has been developed in them from
the Scotch Puritan blood Of the South.
Take the history Of our country and
run your minds eye over the big men;
they are either the New England
Scotch Puritan or the Scotch Puritan
of the South. Roosevelt is the only
striking exception to this rule, and
this exception only proves it.
what mean is, these are wonder
full and marvellous folks; they have an
eager expectancy in their faces and
eyes to hear the old time religion
preached-th kind they like to hear,
the religion Of their fathers and FORE
fathers, who contributed so much to
make this country the greatest coun-
try Gods eye has ever rested on. Yes,
sir; like to preach to such apprecia-
tive folks"
