(cIn I'riu'litcncil uiiil I" HI" Ztluil I'liBlil for Homo Looe Ills lint and Mr. News Man History repeals itself and so does or teller if lies tho right kind uv er repeator. When I was er small fool I use ter go ter all sorts uv meetings, but tho best sott I ever wont to was tho hardshell moot ing. I loved tor go tor them becauso the preacher dun as he pleased and allowed you tor do the same. When he got inter tho pulpit ho pulled olf his coat and rolled up Lis sleeves as good as ior say that Jordan was ev hard road tor travol. He spoke as tho spirit givo his mouth utterance, but somotimes it was awful slow 01 bout its bisness. But they was mity good tolkes thar aintmany uv oin now,nor thar aint many good folkes now neither. They believed in honesty and pure whiskey. Their religion is sorter run down now, but their shoes aint, for their doclnno is ter change ycr shoes every morning. Its bin er long time sinoc I dun er thout my dinner listoning tor these predestination fellers. News got inter both uv my ears tother evening that one uv em wus gwynter knock tho bottom out at the East Waco Baptist church. I fixed myself and went, when I got ter the church thar wus er good crowd thar tnar is somo monstrous party gals in Eiibt Waoo, I wus intioduced by the preacher and he shook my hand like ho wus er candidate. He was or big set heavy teller and ball headed like Capt. Blair. He took his text from tho 7th verso in the 1st ohapter in Ephesians and he got me awfully mixed up and got mixed up his selt. He leart me er few things that 1 don't know, and I don't know it yet. Ho said the Bible wus his foundation for tho dootrino he preached but what troubles me thar is hundreds uv others what claims tho same thing. I don't know who's right on the rong roade nor who's rong on the right road. His for ordination, pre destination and several notions got mo in a nation uv a fix. He said man wus the author of his own sins, and had ter answer fur them. That boa's the Methodists ter all hollor i'ur they say wo fellers is got ter carry old Adam's sins erlong with our own. Ho said wo wus ohosen away back yonder before time tor bo saved or loft. That's a rite smart while ergo. Now if that doctrin is true we fellers ain't got nothin' ter do but ter And out if we are tho ones. I guess whon the old ship uv Zion is tied up on the banks uv the Jordan and we chaps goes down there ter git on I ?ue6s we won't git on unless wo show our- elec tion foreordination and predestination through ticket from here ter the Now Jorusclum. I don't like this eleotion bizness and I noso several that will git tired in it erbout July and Novem her. Tho preacher said Christ wus sent inter this world ter savo us, but what bothers me is how is He gwynter do it whon wo has already bin er lected or defeated one, er way back yonder er foro time. That's what gets mo all mixed up so. Mixed whitkey gets me down, but mixed doctrin liko that gets me down and holds mo thar. Thar is one good doctrin er bout em and that is tho washing feet doctrin. Thoy has got good Bible fur that bisness cause its er command besides being er ijood sanitary institution. I likes tho hard shells; I lues ter stay all night with em; 1 likes all good folks what tri-s ter got through the woild and take sumbody elso or long with em. Thar is er better world than this snm whar fur sum folkes I know and then thars or heap worso plaon sumwhar fur sum folkes I noes. Er good man aint got no bisness in er bad placo and no bad man will ever slip inter a good place Let us all bo good folkes and take our seats on the right hand of God. Before ho got heated up good thar wus a rushing tor er emty wind. I oouldn't toll from whence it oum nor whar it wus er going, but I new it wus or cuming and er goin' mightj fast. I split otiquott wide open and got out'on tho ohurclf tho best way I node how. Tho wind had kicked up a migniy uust so 1 couldn't soo. 1 tried tor run but I run over er cow and tell bottom UDWarda in or riitnVi &a engines somotimes diloh but If you would pass a pleasant hour droj) in at the new plaoo for a gimoof JMlliarl or Pool.

While I wus er lyia' thar 1 heard the woman in tho house say ter her old man "bring out yer gun, thats the thing whats bin cr fetching our ohickins" thinks I ter mjtelf, if timo aint monoy I ken use cr little uv it mity handy right now anyhow.
