The man who marries a good wife
doesn't have to work half as hard to
go to Heaven as the fellow who mar

hell.
If you think you can keep on doing

mistaken.
If there was no card playing done

The more man waits for the devil
the harder the devil will try to down

The young man who doesn't decide

TODAY'S BEST STORY
IN BILLY'S SERMON

William n. MiIburn, who was for
years the "BIInd Chaplain" of the
United States senate, was told by
some friends of an eminent occuIist
In London who had done wonders,
and he Journeyed across the seas,
and when he arrived there he found
there was convention Of occuilsts
being held In Paris.
He went to the continent to see
this London specialist. He met him
and he said. "Well, | am glad you
came. u hope you will receive a
benefit, but" he said, "there is an
oecullst who lives In BerIln-he Is
not here attending this conference
that we consider the greatest Of
all. I'd advise you to go and see
him."
So he Journeyed to Berlin, con-
suited the famous occulist, and he
examined him and said, al think
with one or two operations you will
be able to see, but it would be six
months before ! would attempt the
first one, and if you are WILLING
to wait and go through the treat
nent | will try it,"
TIC OiOy anu the operation was
performed, and he said to Or. Mil
burn, zone year should eIapse be-
fore ] attempt a second operation.
You can spend that here or any
where, or return home. All | ask
is that you will follow Implicitly
the instructions ! will give, and at
the end of it, if you will return, the
operation will be performed with
every hope, Judging by the success
of this, that you will be able to
realize your desire to see"
Or. Milburn returned to the
United States. He reIigiousIy fol-
lowed his instructions for a year.
He purchased his passage on a
steamer and went On board In New
York. They were going through,
ringing the bell, crying, "AlI
ashore that's going ashore" when
someone dashed up the eangplank
with cabIegram and called "Dr.
Milburn!" and they PACED him and
| gave him the cabIegram, and his
attendant read it. 1t said: 1--WE are
sorry to inform you, but you need
not return to Berlin. The doctor
! died last night"
And every hope that he would
see vanished, and they led him
sorrowfully down the gangpIank
and he never saw the sunlight.

and he took the warpath, and he smote
the Philistines hip and thigh with
great slaughter.
Then he stroIled over to the rock

self and reviewed what he had been
doing.
But the Philistines were a hardy
bunch. They weren't discouraged,
and they came and pitched their tents
in Lehi and Judah, and the men of
Judah came up to Samson, quaking,
three thousand of them, with their
teeth chattering like castanets and
rafting as if they had the argue, and
they said,
''Look-a-here, Samson, don't you
know that the Philistines are our
masters and we are their servants,
and what in the world are you doing,
sticking splinters in them? Don't you
know that this warfare will go on all
summer"
And Samson sat there composedly
and combed his whiskers with his fin
gers and said, Il am just simply. full
filling the Mosaic law, an eye for an
eye and tooth for tooth. They
have been giving it to me in the neck
and l have been paying them back in

They said, Now look-a-here, Sam
son, if you don't surrender to us, this
war will go on and on"
well" Samson said, "I'll tell you
what I will do. If you will promise
me that you won't turn me over to
the Philistines, why, l will give UP
! to you"
Tie Him With
Strong Ropes.
Well, they were as glad to do that
as a weakened voter is to get his
name off whiskey petition, and sc
they tied Samson with new ropes, and
when his enemies saw them doing
that, with a great shout of triumph
they rushed forward to seize their en-
envy.
But their triumph was premature

Bad company will draw you to the

No matter how many prayers hover

The man who carries chip on his

Not to make a start for Heaven is
to more than half decide that you will
go to hell hope you will not lose out.
The man who continues to go with
bad company without regard to con-
sequences, sooner or later will find
himself losing out.
A sound apple in a barrel of rotten
ones will soon be fit for the slop like
the rest of them. You go with bad
crowd, it won't be long until you will
be as good for nothing as the crowd
you are with.

ing anything to beat the devil, you are
a big fool.
He went down to GAIA to court
another Philistine girl, and the block
head didn't seem to be able to learn
that it was safer to stay home and
fall in love with a girl of his own
tribe. The men of GAIA had their
pickets out that night, and it soon
became ,1nown that certain girl had
young Jew for beau, so they put
the lid on tight and double locked
the gates, then they went to bed,
thinking they had Samson as secure
as rat in trap and that they could
get up in the morning and kill him at
leisure.
That shows they weren't onto all
of Samson's curves, for while they
were hitting the hay, Samson got up,
he pulled the gates of GAIA up by the
roots, put them on his back, carried
them across the valley and climbed up
on the mountain and left them where
| it would cost more to bring them
back than they were worth.
| He next comes on the carpet as
the lover of another Philistine girl,
| Delilah. She was the queen Jezebel
! of the bunch. She was the lightning
express that swept him to his ruin.
The Philistines had learned to suf-
fer a great deal from Simpsons
strength and they saw they had to
+, destroy it if they ever won out, and
SO they bribed Delilah, his wife, to
| find out where lay the secret of his
strength. She turned her dove-like
eyes on him, with that soft, liquid,

to him just as if she had just happen.

Now Samson could lie as easy as
he could lift thousand pounds, and
he smiled blandly and said, IF you
will bind me with seven green withes
will be as helpless as a candidate
in the hands of his friends"
So she lost no time. She tied him
with the seven green withes, then
she bent over him and said, Sam
tson, the Philistines be upon thee,
and she gave them high-sign.
They were waiting outside and they
rushed in to seize their enemy, but al
