FRIDAY
By thc Democrat Vote* Publishing Co.
Coleman, Texas.
HARRY HUBERT, Editor.
Entered an second-class mail matter
at the pentoffice at Coleman Texas,
under act of Confess of Mar. 3, 1879
Any erroneous reflection upon the
character of any person or firm ap-
pearing in its columns will be gludly
and promptly corrected upon calling
the attention of the management to
the article in question.
SACRILEGE,
Modem evangelism has become a
farce comedy if not a sacrilege In
support of this statement we court
the privilege of printing the follow-
ing excerpt from a sermon, and an
incident thereto, delivered, last week
from a pulpit not very far removed
from here:
“Hell’s the sewer system for the
New Jerusalem. Why if you don’t
have a hell for ’em when they die,,
where are you ■ going to put the har-
lots, pimp., libertines, hypocrites,
snakes, Judases, frtkers, four-flush |
era, quacks, cheats, swindlers, blood- j
thirsty assassins, rakes, debauchees,
leeches, adulterers, panderers,
■trumpets, prostitutes, jades, cow-
ards, liars, murderers, -.kunks and
defies?"
The newspaper report says: "The '
chorister had consider nt*b* ■ -ob!,* !
with his-.hose supporter m the mitt :
of khe song service. The chorus was
about to plunge into the s rging ot
“Injmanuel” when ■■■■•■
shouted: “IVa-a a nit a non.Re,' wa
a a ait a minute!” The audience could
see about six inehes of the blue elas ,
tic trailing over the platform and j
threatening to trip the leader «into j
the sonrano laps. But the ■hori.tpr
discovered it,-too, got his foot up on;
the evangelist’s chair, rolled up hi.-
trouser legs, detached the offending
bit of tape and threw it under the i
piano. Some one snickered. He
turned to the audience and said:,
'Well, wasn’t that the right thing to'I
do? A lot of fools would have' stum- \
bled around here nervous and em-1
barrassed. .Wasn’t' it the best thing
to take it off1” ”
V PRAYER FOR EVERYBODY
(Homer McKee.) ,
Teach me that sixty minutes
make one hour, sixteen ounces
one pound, and pne hundred
cents one dollar.
Help me to live so that 1 can
lie down at night with a clear
conscience, without a gun under
my pillow, and unhaunted by the
faces of those to whom l have
brought pain.
Grant, I beseech thee, that I
may earn my meal ticket on the
square, and in doing thereof that
1 may not nfU-k the gaff where it
does not belong.
Deafen me to the' jingle of tain-
ted money and the rustle of un-
holy skirts.
Blind me to the faults of tha
other fellow, but reveal to me
mine own.
Guide me so that each night
when I look across the dinner ta-
ble at my wife, who has been a
blessing to me, 1 will have noth-
ing to conceal.
Keep pie young enough to
laugh with my children and to lose
myself in their play.
And when comes the smell of
flowers and the tread of soft
steps and the crushing of the
hearse’:- wheel in the gravf-l out
in .front of. -my place, make the
ceremony short and the epitaph
simple “Here Lies a Mah.”
Press Paragraphs
A correspondent wants to know
whether it would not be feasible for
prominent men to call mass meetings
all over the country to protest
against the prolongation of the war.
Santa Anna News.
If we are not misinformed our
Socialist Union at Eden held n
meeting several months ago for that
purpose, and the protest went un-
heeded. .
Houston Post: A Kentucky politi
oian says an anti and a pro can not
be reconciled, even in church. Maybe
not, but we have seen them mighty
chummy at the bar.
Brown wopd News: A Brooklyn
preacher- advertised that he would
preach on “Will Hell Ever Freeze ?”
and only fifty people turned out to
hear the sermon. In these strenuous
times of paying taxes, keeping up
with the grocer, paying the fiddler,
and meeting the conditions of rain
and drouth laid down by the weath-
er man, people do not seem to care
much whether hell freezes or not.
Dallas
pray' for
that.
