desire to understand and speak, the
most perfect English, to hear this
exponent of refinement with his al
most supernatural- powers of oratory
and phraseology. Here are a few of
the choicest specimen of bis wonder
ful art:
"Hang crepe on your ear, you
mutt; your brain is iead."
"Sand your tracks; yer -slipping,"
"Sneeze, you lobsters; your brains
are dusty."
' "You two yoyng heifers must not
make eyes at me."
No .doubt when you have heard
this Wonderful outburst of vulgarity
you will begin to wonder if the Prot
estant church is really making its
last stand against the effects of the
higher criticism by backing jjp this
monstrosity. Moody was" emotional
enough. Chapman- and Alexander
strove to bolster up orthodoxy, but
Billy Sunday is so dirty, so cheap and
so false that it, seems to me to be a
sign that the church is making one
great grandstand effort to retain its
hold upon the feeble-minded. Not
even the most orthdox minister in
Chicago dare go into his pulpit and
use such vile expressions. How then
can they tolerate him as a represen
tative of those things they hold most
dear? Silly Monday.
