So at her request they appeared one
morning at Jefferson Park police
court, and the judge said, Stand up
and receive your sentence"
The old mother jumped to her feet
and ran to his side and she said,
Judge, | can't, / can't, I can't! He
is my boy, and I love him with all
his SINS" and she swooned and fell
dead at his feet At the post norton
the examination revealed the fact
that she literally died of a broken
heart. AS dearly as she loved that
Goddess, wayward, drunken loafer of

! pray God you may hear my text
above the tick of the clock. pray
Him you may hear il above the roar
of business. pray you may hear It
above the voice of your children.
pray as you walk the streets your
steps may echo and resound back the
words of Judgment. | pray it may
ring through your ears long after my
voice has ceased it's pleadings, long
after my face has been forgotten, and
have turned to other parts Of the
country to hold up the bleeding form
of Jesus Christ.
And l stand with the old Book Of
God beneath my feet and behind my
back as authority and l cry out to
every unsaved man, And after death,
the Judgment"
