remarkable sermon Hot Cakes off
the Griddle." 81 would never al
low any man to talk to me as ! shall
talk to you this afternoon without
asking three questions. l expect you
to ask them Of me:
"First, Do you know what you're
talking about? Wait until I've fin
ished; you'll know then.
Second Are your statements made
from a kindly heart? Absolutely.
"Third. do you live what you preach?
] certainly do. | live in too much of
a glass house to live any other way.
If did, you'd all have known it long
ago.
"Bc not deceived, God is not mock
ed. Whatsoever Il man soweth, that
shall heS also reap" was the text Of
the afternoon.
''Get your syrup ready, we're GO
ing to start Hopping the no: cakes"
warned the big evangelist "Here's
the first one, profanity. Thou shalt
not take the name of thy God in
vain. Why does Il man take his
spite out on God when he hits his
finger with hammer? Why curse
the best friend you've got? If wom-
en- cussed like men, a lot OF you fell
lows would be running to a divorce
court. If I'd come to Bismarck and
drag the name of your wife or,
mother in the mud, as you do Gods
Name, you'd shoot me. A man that'll
cuss will steal. Don't wriggle, boys;
l haven't even started yet. You Dor
row your next breath from God; He
istence, everything you have; then
Inc nh
remember this: Big men don't swear.
Do you think the bird that curses
and swears at his wife, that neglects
the lovers kiss, the flowers, the
candy, that he gave when he was
wooing her, now that she is faded
and old from bringing his children
into the world--do you think he has
one chance to go to the Heaven? If
l had to preach his funeral, I'D say
There's the dirty old cuss--he's gone
straight to hell. and I'd be right"
About Booze
Here's another hot cake-booZe. If
you SOW TO booze, you'll reap
drunkenness and debauchery. You
say "A little drink never hurt me.
Well, it hurt someone else.
"Many years ago. Il boozer and
harlot settled in New York state. OF
their 1900 descendants, $40 have pris-
on records, with total Of 1900 years
spent in prison; and it has cost New
York State $2,200,000 to protect So
ciety against the offspring Of that
booty, immoral couple. The cry Of
the day is 4 want my personal lib
crty.' Say, bud. there's a big differ
ence between liberty and license. If
no one lived in Bismarck but you,yOu
could drive down the street as fast
rs you like; but if there's just one
other man here. he has as many
rights as you. Before prohibition, Il
decent woman was not safe on the
street at night. What about her per-
sonal liberties? Our personal liberty
ends just where it infrngcs on the
rights of others.
~ have more respect for bottleg-
ger than the anarchist who buys
BOOZE" shouted the speaker. eff you'd
quit drinking the stuff, he couldn't
sell it. Remember-if I'm not right,
kick me out" Immediately promi-
nent judge. seated behind the speak
er, jumped to his feet with fist in
air and shouted "You're right"-and
2,7OO men almost tore down the
tabernacle with their applause. Time
after time throughout two hours Of
remarkable preaching, thunderous
applause rent the air; time after
time the preacher would demand,"A Am
right? ?" and back would come roar
ing Eyes"
"I'm not here to preach crceds."
said the preacher, "but to preach
Jesus Christ. say unto you all-Jew,
Catholic, Protestant, live up to and
stick to your religion.
immortality
IF you sow to immortality you'll
reap a crop of prostitutes and lib
ertines. Do you know what caused
the downfall of Sodom, of Gomarrah.
Babylon. Rome, and France, and
what has almost death-grip on
America today? Adultery" Mr..
James proceeded to warn his hearers
against this vicious sin and it's con-
sequences.
Here's another cake Sabbath
&c ration. If, you'd live as you
ought to live, you. could keep every
day Of the week holy. Many Ameri
cans are demanding Continental
