"BE AWARE OF FALSE
PROFITS"

The most important thing in this
life,
Is a man of God to lead.
A man that is filled with the spirit
of God.
For Christ sake he will take heed.
God calls no other kind of man,
Than man that is full of peace,
Unless he comes as this little child,
That big man is the least.
No way for the big man to enter
in,
Unless he comes as this little
child,
You can find these words in the
Bible.
l declare they are all worth while.
Do not try to change Gods word,
If his word says hell it's that
And if you fail to come as this
little child,
Big man you will halter stand
Back.
That awful day will come God
said.
He did not say that awful night,
So why not carry out Jesus Pro-
gram,
And stop saying day not right.
If Jesus says to work while its
day, /
Why should not obey,
Stoy saying he did not mean it,
You are leading the people astray.
Some are trying up langue,
But Jesus says to lift up me,
draw all men unto me,
Good people can you see.
God hid from the wise and Pru-
dent,
These things they would love to
know.
And made all these things unto
babs.
And the wise and prudent had to
go.
Good people don't let the letter
fool you,
1t take the love of God to get in,
Preach Christ to all of the peo-
pie,
And lift him up before men.
If we are expecting heaven our
home,
We must believe Gods word to
day,
Stop teaching it don't mean what
it says.
And lead the people astray.

Is He Too Old p?

NEW YORK CAMP Is Joe
Louis too old to fight? Recently
Joe Louis-Barrow excited austere
Bostonians when he announced
that atthe ripe "old age" of 35,
he merely wanted to make some
extra money through exhibitions
but he would do no more serious
ring fighting.
