WILL FIND YOU OUT, whether
it's found IN the GOOD BOUh,
or some other book, which is
que ~ ! amt worried about right
1ere, is just as true as the say
ne that the DAY OF MIRACLES
HAS PASSED, and the sin of
predicting miracles is amongst
Sc sins for which you will git
found out, just lack shooting
drinking too much whiskey,
md Formulating, back-biting, and
Icing in fact the claim to per-
/ inning miracles, when it has
been told down through the ages
TIT the DAY OF MIRACLES
HAS PASSED is a worser sin
than all of them other ] men
toned put together. On this mir
acle business lisa fact that every
hep cat up and down Parish Street
knows that there amt nobody ever
made the BLIND SEE, the DEAF
HEAR, the LAME WALK. but
Jesus Christ himself, and while He
was here doing it He wasn't col
Letting nothing for doing it, and
it was SO strong that even He
6i1n't do but q little of it, and only
let a few folks witness what He
as doing. 1t was when Jesus
! fit here and went on up to bea-
ven that folks what knowed that
Is ! that kinda doings was over
when He left the earth started to
9ying that the day Of miracles
have passed, which meant that
there never would be nobody OIL
this here earth no more that could
DO what Jesus did. There's been
lotta slick folks to come around
though, taking advantage Of the
fact that Amt Haggar's Chilluns
might be a little dumb and sus-
r;cious claiming that they could
90 the same things that Jesus did,
but always for some money, and
here JESUS didn't have no where
to lay His weary head, even as
he birds of the air have nests,
tNese now day healers exhibit
their spirit by riding around in
Cadillac cars, and sporting nickle
size diamond rings which GER
tainly amt no exhibition of the
humbleness of spirit which en-
abled Jesus to do what He did
down here on this earth. It's just
as much a sin to believe in that
nress as it is to deal it out and
when you go up and give your
money to one of the healers in
stead of a doctor you're a fool
and the healer, which is your sin
then DONE FOUND YOU OUT
=. TO BE A FOOL.

1T AMT NO DISGRACE TO
RUN WHEN YOU GIT SCARED
Down in downtown Parish
Street Saturday morning two cats
got into some sorta row which
wound up with one having his lip
all split up with a razor and his
life's blood running all out on
the side walk. A fellow in town
from the country for his Satur-
day shopping, with a roll of cotton
samples under his arm looked at
him and said ;. That fellow musta
knoWed that it amt no disgrace
to run when you git scared.
