Old Dame Fideets
At Powerful Words.
My friend got up, announced his
text, flew off on a tangent and for
40 minutes he shelIed the woods.
When he got warmed up to his sub.
Ject, this old dame began to fidget as
though she sat on lacks, she leaned
forward and spoke to two girls that
sat in front of her, who proved to be
her daughters, tried to induce them
to go out with her. They would not
go. they'd never heard talking like
that, they'd forgot their social poise
and their looks and grabbed the seats
In front of them and were drinking In
every word my friend said.
This woman got up and went to the
door, then she came back and sat
down again bye and bye, and sat there
and gritted her teeth and she took
1t. And when my friend got through
preaching he turned to the minister
and he was whittier than the neck
tie he had on. The minister blindly
staggered to the pulpit and said:
We will dispense with the usual
closing hymn. Arise and receive the
benediction," and he mumbled
through 1t and no sooner did he say
Amen" than this woman bounded

Listen! Her black eyes blazed and
the tears rolled down her cheeks like
rivers OF water. She said:
Il don't know who he is. l don't
know where he has come from, but
his views are the right views and il

like that he would not be sleeping
under the snow out in the cemetery.

that and tell us what we ought to
do and how we ought to live"
We Admire Person
Telling Us Truth.
We admire whoever tells us the
truth and tries to help us live for
Christ. The hour has come for plain
ness OF speech, the hour has come
to believe in revivals
Some people don't; some preachers
don't, and neither does the devil, so
they are like their daddy. Put me
down in favor of everything the
DEVILS against, put me down AGAINST
everything the DEVILS in favor OF,
Put me down against everything the
devil gets most of his recruits out of,
put me down against It with every
brain cell, molecuIe, artery, Joint.
