She said: “‘Say man, what do you think this is? This is the red hot district.’ And he didn’t find no righteous there. “Then the Lord said if there were forty he wouldn’t destroy the city; then thirty, then twenty, then ten. Abraham was bound to find at least ten righteous, so he Tan through the town. “Some _of the folks laughed at that good man as he tried to save ’em, just as they laugh at ministers to- €ay;. but thei Lord had spoken, and he was tryin’ to save the wicked sinners. “He ran into a gambling den, just like they used to have in St. Louis, and said: ‘“‘Is there any righteous here?’ “But they laughed at him. ‘Gee, that fellow’s bughouse,’ one of 'em gaid. But don’t you think Abraham was bughouse. He knew what he was doin’. But he couldn’t find the righ- teous, so he went back to his tent on the plains of Mamre, where the salu- brious breezes blew. ‘“He went back to his tent, he went back to his tent,” the minister sang, and his congregation joined in the chant. “Then two angels appeared to Lot as he sat in the gate of Sodom: Zephyrs were being wafted pleasantly about, and all was peaceable and quiet. Oi1d Sol had hid himself for the night, and beautious Venus had un- veiled her face to the plains of men. And Lot took the angels in and gave them meat. And the angels told him to pack up and fly away, because God was going to burn Sodom. “Lot started to get his goods ready, then he went out after hiq sons-in- law, but they were triflin’ fellows, just like the boys you see hanging around St. Louls poolrooms and saloons.
