"The"Campus Echo" A queer little man v/ho reminded me so much of a jack-in-the- box as he rose Irom his seat and came quickly to the front of the platform and announced his text as follows; "Lc. dies and gentlemen, as you know vve c^re here to get rid of sins and I ::ave chosen such a text for my sermon today. It is, Brothers remove thy sins from the bosom. From the amen corner could be heard loud shouts of amen,, Plalloluiah, praise his name, wow, by the shrill voices of women, etc. It v;us very much like an asylum where only the mad would care to be. A short man of rather lif:ht complexion seemed to have some- thing biting him as he v;iggled from plc.ce to olace and looked so uneasy. For the hundredth time the jack-in-the-box like preacher shouted, "Isay, brother, remove thy sins from thy bosom." The man on the front seat turned and glanced all around him, rose from his seat, walked up to the olatform, unfastened his shirt and quickly removed a small smoked har.i from his bosom. "Say, Jim,"]ie said to the preacher, "your teachings must be true cause how in the would did you knov; I had stole dat ham and hid it in my bosom? Here it is keep it." To every one's dismay he returned to the front seat and be gan mourning louder than -*n’/ of the others. Soon he was shouting and said to be saved. Preaching was soon over and a number of songs ,vas sung by the older oeople after whicli the meating was ^.djourned and we started for home. I v;as uneasy ell the -vay beccuse I knew what would surely hap'oen when we did arrive. No sooner had we entered the house than mj?- mother gave me a sound enanking end sent me to bed, 'but was not it worth it for I truly had a lot of fun. 3y--Maggie E.

Years after he lie- came the ov/ner of the New York World Building, fronting the place of his open air bed, and of the great nevfspaper housed therein, with its instrumentalities that flashed its news from all the world. -8-
