Listen, those artists were not ashamed of their tears." In the beginning of his sermon, the evangelist said that the people generally did not understand the gipsy. “We are an old people,” he said. “We are found on every continent. Wo are a nation without a country. We have no Bible, no religion, no schools, no books and no literature. I am not speaking of tramps. A tramp is not a gipsy. All travelers are not gipsies or many of you would be because some of you nearly live on wheels. We had no one to teach us literature. “It don’t bother me from where we came. What I am worried about is, where are we going? There are no people who are more misunderstood than the gipsy. If there is a villian in a play, it is a gipsy. If there is a rogue in your movies, It is a gipsy. I am anxious that the people I come in contact with understand the gipsy. I speak of the English gipsy, a people without a Bible, without organized religion. NEVER READ OF A GIPSY DIVORCE. Pausing for a second, he said, “You never read of a gipsy divorce. You people will have to tighten your grip on your marriage laws. There is a grave danger of your losing your moral conscience. If I were a preacher in your city and a couple came to me to be married I would find out why one of them had been divorced. “You never heard of a gipsy murder. You never heard of a gipsy breaking into a bank or-—or reorganizing it,” he said with a wink. Continuing, he said, “You say that we gipsies are thieves. I say we are good finders. They don't commit big robberies, but if they come across your potato patch they will take enough potatoes for one meal, no more. Why gather more wheif there are more further up the way ?’’ Then he directed the thought of the big audience to serious thought. "Look into a gipsy ten or wagon nnd you will see many things that will surprise you,” said the gipsy. “You will si-e absolute obedience. Old age is honored. "Like ail gipsy boys, I ran wild. I climbed trees. I was a child of the woods, of the mountains, of the forest nnd of the dew drops. The trees were my companions. 1 uish you could sea anil know a tree. “Put your ear to the tree nnd yon will hear the distant cry of olties yet unmade. If you listen you will hear It sing of navies, also of cradles and then If you listen carefully you will hear it whispering nf coffins. “The fee Is a sermon when you have eyes, ears and a soul. The woods will sing to you. I used to help the birds btiliil their nests. “Nature knows when you love her. Tho birds, ah, the birds. The rabbits—-oh, boy. When I was a child, the rabbits were so fund of me that they would come to the gipsy wagon with tne. Do you get my meaning how they came?” The audlen e Joined in a big laugh as the evangelist placed his bauds in bis pockets. “We gipsies don't court unless mother and father are present. We courted our sweethearts in the sunshine, and In the presence of our fathers and mothers.” said Gipsy. “Gipsy girls are not allowed to alt alone with a sweetheart until after midnight. You will never find a gipsy girl making a date to have dinner at a hotel ith a married man. “Until your older women and you married women take your stand, there isn't much hope for the younger ones.” TELLS OF I.IKE IN GIPSY WAGON.

and mother through tha various counties of England. He named the counties. He told of the gipsy wagon, of the fire and the kettle over It. He said that his father had no religion but that be was made of the stuff of which saints are made. Gipsy Smith told of his sister Polly being stricken with smallpox and how bis father stretched a tent and then drove the wagon with Polly In It down the rx>ad a piece. “Mother, too, contracted smallpox," said Gipsy. “She called my father to her and told him that she was dying. He went out of the tent and threw himself down on the ground in his grief. Then my father heard my mother sing, ‘I Have a Father in the Promised Land.’ He had never heard her sing that song before. We had no Bible and no organized church. He went to her and said, ‘Where did you learn that song?’ “She told my father that she had heard a little group sing that song when she was a girl. She had no one to say a prayer for her. “What happened ?” "Remember these words, ‘He will bring all things to your remembrance.’ SriRIT OF LIGHT BREAKS THROUGH. “The spirit of light broke through the woods and built for her a ladder to the stars.” “Men and women,” sobbed the gipsy

evangelist, “you wouldn’t taks from ms the thought that God heard my mother’s prayer and eong?" The evangelist told of the sad scene at ths gipsy tent and of how his father burled their mother at night by ths light of a torch. “Young man, put your flowers In the hands of your mother and not 6n her coffin,” said the evangelist. The gipsy said that his father was a changed man after the death of hla mother. “God was at work In his heart, bat he didn’t know It,” said the evangelist. “He didn’t know that God was there. But God was making a minister out of one of his sons. A minister who was to preach to five continents. The light didn't come all at ones. “X think I know my Job. I haven’t tried to Just entertain you or amuse you or even Instruct you. I have talked for a purpose. HAND OF GOD WORKING. “Can't you ses the band of God working in the heart of that Gipsy father? Can't you see that He was creeping Into the wound so He could reveal himself? “From the upturned soil of my mother’s grave there grows the flowers of Paradise. “God wants you, too. He wants the banker, the professor, the minister and He wants you.”
