If we only knew ihe breaking hearts of the people we envy we would pity them from the bottom of our souls. 1 was belug driven through a suburb of Chicago by a real estate man who wanted to sell me a lot, He was telling me who lived here and who lived there, and what an honor it would be for me and my children to possess a home there, We were driving past a home that must have cost $100,000 and he sald: “That house is owned by Mr. So-and-so. He Is one of our multi-millionaires, and he and his wife have been known to live In that House for months and never speak to each other, They each have separato apartments, each has a ssparats retinve of servants, each a dining room and sleeping apartments, and months come and go by and they never speak to one another.”” My thoughts hurried back to the Nttle flat in Chicago that we called our home and where we have lved for #eventeen years. I had pair rent enough ¢ to pay for It. ‘There wasn't much in it; § 1 could load it in two furniture vaos, { maybe three, counting the plano, but 1 would not trade the happiness and the Joy and the love of that little flat for that palatial home and the sorrow and the things that went with it. As you are driving along the street and a man who was Intimately acqua nted with the skeletons that are in every fam- fly should tell you the secrets of them all, of that boy who has broken his father's heart by being a drunkard, o peg-leg gambler, and that girl who has mon drunkard, made so by soclely, and the father himself, who was also a sinner, Leprosy and S§in, ~“But he was a leper”’ That diseass, ‘pecuar to the oriont, Is exceedingly Idathsome and as 1 study its pathology ¥ am not surprised that God used It ax A type of sin. A man who is able to wunderstand this discase, its beginning and progress, might be approached by a . who was thus afflicted and might “him, Hurry! Hurry!

Infections Disease. Leprosy is an infectious disease like typhold fever, smallpox or diphtheria, and goes through a community lke an epideraic; when one leper comes in con- enct with the clean, he becomes infected, And 0 it Is with sin. Sin begine In so- callod fnnocent flirtation. The old, God- ‘who 8o with the boy.

Some asked, “Where I8 the colonel?’ and they sald, “You will find him in one of two or three places.” 8o they searched and found him in a den of infamy.

Unclean! Buppose every young man in Omaha who 18 a moral leper was im- pelled and compelled by some uncon- trollable impulse over which he had no {power to make public revelations of his #in! Down the street he comes in his auto and you speak to him from the | curbstone and he will say: “Unclean! Unclean!” Yonder he comes walking down the street. Suppose that to every man and woman he meets he is impelled and compelled to make public revela- |tions of the fact that he is a leper. Suppose every young woman is impelled and compelled to make publie revelations of the fact that she s living a life of sin. Somebody clse pays for her clothes and her board Suppose that some young man who | lives a good life calls upon her and rings {the doorbell and she comes down and “Unclean! Unclean! Keep away; do mot come near lest you be con- taminated.” There are lots of moral lepers that are apparently clean Oh, yen! They live in the best homes and lots of mo-called best girls receive them and keep company with them. They open the door to the moral leper and he comes and sits with your daughter, and many of you know that they are moral lepers. And many a fool girl will marry a biped lie that. | | These are the things we are up against | | nowadays—that so-callea ““Modesty." | Leprosy 1s an infectious disease; it is ! the germ of sin, If there ia evil in you the evil will dwell in others, When we | do wrong we inspire others—and your | lives scatter disease when you come in contact with others. It there is sin in the father, there will be sin in the boy; | Jif there s sin in the mother, there Wllli | be sin in the daughter; if there is eln in | the sister, there will be sin In the sis- | ter; by your Influence you will spread it {1t you live the wrong way you will you as vou go, and kindred ties will fa- cllitate it, Street Flirtations. Bupposing all your hearts were open. Supposing we had glass doors to our hearts, and we could walk down the | street and look in and see where you have been, and with whom you have been and what you have been doing. A great many of you would want -m-dl glass and heavy tapestry to cover them. Buppose 1 could put a screen behind me, pull a string or push & botton and | je Mr. and Mre. A's life as it is and here as the people think it is. Here is what he really is. Here ls where he has been. Here {s how much booge he drinks. Here is how much he lost last year at horse racos.’ But these are the thinge that soclety does not take note of. Boclety takes no note of flirtation on the strect. It waits until the girl has lost her vir- tue and then slams the door in her face. It takes no mote of that ~young man | arinking at a banquet table; it walts |until he becomes a bleary-eyed drunk- Kard ‘and then it will elam the door in his face. It takes no note of card-play- |ing for some dinky little cream pitcher, | you become a gambler and then it slams \the door in your face. God says, book out in the beginning for that thing." Soclety takes no note of the beginning. ¢ waits until it becomes vice, and then it organizes civic righteousncass clubs, Get back to the beginning and do your work there. Naaman and the Prophet. The servant of Naaman entered thn‘ hut of the prophet Elisha and found him | sitting on @ high stool writing with a | quill on papyrus. The servant bowed low | and said, “The great and mighty Naa- man, captain of the hosts of the king ot Syria, awaits thee. Unfortunately he 1s a leper and cannot enter your august; presence. He has heard of the miracu- lous cures that you have wrought and he hopes to become the reciplent of your| . power.” The old prophet of God tells | him! | el him to dip seven times in the | Jordan—beat it, beat it The servant | came out to Naaman, who was sitting | on his horse. “Well, is he at home?"’ “He's at home, but he's & queer duck.” man thought that Elisha would | come out and pat the sores and say in- cantations, like an Indian medicine man., | and say, “Matter is nonexistent; It 1s | an fllusion of your mind, my dear tellow. | | Why d@ldn’t you 'phone me from Damas- | cus and I would have given you absent treatment.”” Poor old cuss sitting away— | “matter monexistent—you just tmagine you have leprosy.” ‘ Naaman was wroth, like many a fellow | today. God reveals to the sinner the | plan of salvation and instead of thank- | Ing God for salvation and dolng what God wants them to do, they damn God and everybody else for bothering them. The Stus of Soclety. Home men ought to be hurled out of | society; they ought to be kicked out of | churches, and out of politics, und every other place where decent men live or, | assoctate. And I want to lift the burden tonlght from the heads of the umoffend- ing womanhood and hurl it on the heads of unoffending manhood, So- clety needs & new division of an- athemss. You hurl the burden on the head of the girl, and the double- dyed, licentious scoundrel that caused her ruln is received in soclety with open arms, while the girl is left to hang her head and spend her life in shame. Here is & man who wants to be a Chris- | tian. What will he do? Will he go ask some old saloon keeper? WIIl he §o ask some of these old brewers? Will he ask some of the fellows of the town? Where | will he go? To the preacher, of course. | He is the man to go to whem you want you are sick, to a blarksmith when your horse is to be shod, but go to a preacher when you want your heart fixed ) Gets Too L Rel h!m”hum-uflvml end water begins to lubricate those old sores and #t beging to itch, and he says, “Gee, whis' like many & youns to be a Christian. Go to a doctor when | Rev.J. W ive/sh \fellow today goes to church and just gets religion enough to make him miser- |able. Like an old fellow in Iowa came to me and said, “ ‘Bill,' I have been to { hear you every night and you have done |me a lot of good. T used to cuss my old | woman every day, and I ain’t cussed her | for & week, I am getting a little better.” The trouble with many men is that |they have just got enough religion to make them miserable. If there is no (Joy In religion, you have got a leak In your religion. Some haven't religion enough to pay their debts, Would that I might have a hook and for every debt that you left unpaid I might jerk off a plece of clothing. If I did, wome of you fellows would not have anything on but a celluloid collar and a pair of socks. Bome of you have not got religion enough to have a family prayer. Some you people haven't got religion enough to take the beer bottles out of your cellar and throw them in the alley. The trouble with you is that you are so taken up with business, with politics, with making money, with your lodges, and each and every one is so dependent on the other, that you are scared to death to come out and live clean cut for God Almighty. You have not fully surrendered yourself to God The matter with a lot of you people is that your religion is not complete. You have not ylelded yourself to Gol and gone out for God and God's truth. Why, I am almost afraid to make some folks laugh for fear that 1 will be ar- rested for breaking a costly plece of antique bric-a-brac. You would think that if some people laughed it would break thelr faces. To mee some you would think that the essential of ortho- dox OChristianity is to have a faoce #o long you could eat oatmeal out of the end of & gas pipe. Bister, that is not religion; I want to tell you that the happy, smiling, sunny-faced religlon will win more people to Jesus Christ than the miserable, old grim-faced kind will in ten years. I pity anyone that can't laugh. There must be something wrong with their religion or their liver. The devil can't laugh. Oh, laugh and the world laughs with you ‘Weep and you weep alone; ' Tin eany enough to be ‘plh:u.\;u H goes A'ONg W ) ml”‘m. .mnn 'wt rth- while is the man who can smile When everything goes dead wrong. I wish te God the church were as afrald of imperfection as it is of per- fection. The Firat Grafter, Naaman dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, “and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.” He offered Elisha of the store of gold and other preclous metals, but the prophet would not take any of ft. But Gehasi, servant to FElisha, counted the goods, and ran after Naa- man, saying that Elisha had changed his mind. Naaman dumped a pile of it on the ground, and mark this, the lep- rosy of Naaman infected Gehazl. He was the first grafter mentioned in the Bible. I saw a woman that for twenty-seven years had been a madam, and I saw her come down the aisle, close her doors turn them out of her house and live for God. I saw enough converted in one town where there were four houses to close their doors; they were empty; they had all fled home to their mothers. Listen to me and I am through. Out in Iowa a fellow came to me and spread a napkin on the platform—a napkin as big as a tablecloth. He said: “I want a lot of shavings and sawdust.” “What for? “T'll tell you; 1 want enough to make & soft pillow to have something in my home to help me think of God. 1 don't want to forget God, or that I was saved. Can you give me enough? I sald: “Yes, indeed, and if you want enough to make & mattress, all right; take it; and if you want enough of the tent (I was preaching in a tent them), to make a palr of breeches for each of the boys, why take your scissors and cut it right out If it will help you to keep your mind on God.” That is why I llke to have people come down to the front and publicly acknowledge God. I MUke to have a man have a definite experience in religlon. Something to remember, i Contounding the Devil. I once read of a preadher.who used to quarrel with his wife. That was before he became a preacher; no one can quar- rel with his wife after he becomes a preacher. Abe and his wife used to fight because Abe was an Bplscopalian and | his wife was & Methodist. Abe sald to| his wite: “See here, all they do down | Duffys Pure MJ'IW.‘\BL«,' A Medicine for all Mank around the old woman and kied her | And when the devil comes around to | Abe he says: “Ash-hopper! ash-hopper: | ll I oN s ash-hopper! On my knees behind th | ash-hopper I fought the battle and bea the devil.” & SONS CO. (Copyright, Willlam A. Sunday.) When buying a range you might just as well buy a standard make.
