OH, THE WICKED SINNERS.

They must be an awful wicked people over at Monticello, judging from the way an evangelist, who Is holding forth there is going for ’em. Listen to this from one of his sermons, as reported by a Monticello paper: “You card playing and dancing church members, you try to hold to Christ with one finger of the left hand and the devfl with your

right hand. No wonder you don’t receive any Joy of the blessed salvation, and you never will in that way. You’re a stumbling block to many souls and you’ll have to give an account of it some day. You had better not be in the church at all. How can you expect the worldly man to become a Christian by your example, when you indulge in the very same things that they dp? “Some of you ladies will go to- a dance and not wear enough to flag a hand car and then call yourself a Christian, and you come to church just like cakes of ice and sjt like bumps on a log. Of can’t „ pray and testify , for your Lord and help some one *to take the 4 right step. You, who are outside of the fold, come in. God loves you. Be an example for these socalled Christians and show them how to live if they can’t show you. When you get the true love of Jesus in your heart, then your pleasure in these things will pass away. Read 1 Cor. 2:14 and 1 John 2:15-17. “There will be lots of preachers in hell, too. Those who sanction all these things in a church and together with the so-called Christians, hell will be so full of them that their feet will be'sticking out of the windows.”
