Where to Find
Sins Presence.
Listening to the gossip of the
street or of the crowd, you hear of
some fellow who has run away with
somebody's wife, or is keeping some
body on the side, and the fool is sell
ing her virtue, or looking for easy
money, as she calls it.
Is assasinating your conscience
easy money! Is being able to eat
food that you could not eat if you
were virtuous easy money? Is wear.
ing clothes you could not wear if you
were decent, easy money?
And there are thorns on your pill.
low that make you roll and tumble,
and you have to take dope in order to
deaden your sensibilities. Is that
easy money? Don't you let all the
devils in hell try to push that dirty
business down your throats.
And if adultery is not sin, then ]
say chastity is not a virtue.
And some one coveting your money
coVeting your jeweIry, enters your
home to steal and he has to kill in
order to get it. If murder is not {
sin, mercy is not virtue!
And the world for thousands o.
years has been full of lying anC
drunkenness and adultery and pro
family and murder Therefore we say
/ the world is full of shit is full o.
J sin. Prove to us that these thing:
do not exist, then l will believe tha
there is no sin.
