I do a desperate deed and have to go tt

do a desperate deed and have to go to
prison for it.
And look out! Good penman, That
may land you in the penitentiary, for
you may try to forge some other fell
lows name.
Look out. Handsome girl. Some
fool, contemplate cur who only wants
your virtue will compliment your
beauty 10 disarm you of your woman
hood. Look out. the devil will use
your virtues to get you away. He
has temptations that will adjust them
selves as willingly to you as the key
will fit into the lock.
Devil Adjusts
Temptations
What might tempt me, might not
phase you. So the Devil adjusts the
temptations suited TO the individual.
He knows you. He knows you well.
And he always comes with the fea-
lures of a Saint, and with a hand Of
a friend, but the heart of a Devil His
Countersign is flattering words and
! his password is Sin" Pronounce it
and you can hear the serpent hiss in
the Garden of Eden.
Some years ago a farmer was walk
| ing through Lincoln Park and he saw
the sign, Beware of Pickpockets."
He pulled his beard and said
"Ha, they think we fellows from
the country don't know how to take
care of ourselves and If it were not
! for us rubes ploughing the ground
there wouldn't be any city. We know
| how to take care of ourselves"
! Sc he was tossing peanuts to the
/ monkeys and went to pull out his
watch. But 1t was gone! If he had
been on the watch for the pickpockets,
the pickpocket would not have gotten
| into his pocket and picked his watch.
The Bible says there is a Devil.
You say there is no Devil. If you
! believed that the Devil was on the
outside you would be on the watch
to keep him out. These men who
wrote the Bible know more than you
do Don't be a fool. And you can
always bet your life that the man that
says there is no Devil, has a Devil in
him bigger than woodchuck.
The one Jesus met was a real foe,
a personal devil. To deny that is
to deny the scriptures while you re-
fleet on humanity for you offer no
solutions for aduItry, murder, etc.
It comes from the devil. Every bit
of It.
Every prostitute on earth comes
from the devil. That which damns
you and me and your children and
damns your husbands is that which
comes out of He'll. 1t has the collar
OF the devil on it.
Devil Never
OverIooks Bet.
AS this country warned against
Prussia and militarism, so is the
church warning against the Devil
Men do not believe in the Devil the
way their fathers did. They rejecl
one creed because it is old and accept
another because it is new.
, Who is it that bHghts this eartl
with the fiery breath of He'll? If il
is not the Devil, who is it? Won
somebody tell? Who dogs the steps
> of the sinner? Who spreads the nets
for his feet Who sows the tares il
the field? If the devil is not doins
it somebody is doing the work the
: Devil is supposed to do.
Some people say that the Devil has
never lived. But simple folks like
to ask who carries on this dirty bust
! ness.
And when the Spirit came the Dew
| came also.
The Devil calls Jesus the Son o
= God Which was to make Him equa
= to God.
They stoned Him. What are 70,
5 stoning me for? am not robbins
t anv woman of her virtue I am no

/ you lots of goods"
| But we are not stOning you TO
good But for blasphemy. You ar
: man"
: Jesus Was
Son of God.
|, Jesus was the son of God.
And you shall bring forth a sol
l. and his name shall be Jesus and h
5 shall save his people from all sins.
/ Nov all this was done, that
u might be fulfilled which was spoke
of the Lord by the prophet, sayin
y Behold a virgin shall be with child
~, and shall bring forth a son, and the
u u call his name Emanuel, which bein
- interpreted is, God with us"
! This is my Son in whom I am we
pleased"
And Jesus said before Abraham
v 'Glorify thou me with the glory tha
q had with them before the worl
y was"
r In the beginning was the Wor
e and the Word was made Flesh"
And so all the stories prove tina
, he was more than ordinary children
a The people came to worship him an
. the wisemen from the East journeye
E. to worship him.
