THE CARD PLAYERS GET IT Let Us Alone,' is Cry, But I'm Going to Knock Stuffings Out," He Declares. SHRAPNEL BURSTS. "Let mo alone is I he cry of the backslidden churrh. It is none of your business If I play cards, dance and take liquor. I aJii a church official, let me alone." "Another person will come to the preacher and nay, 'I am MJwi Mo-and-Ho, and I want you to let me alone. 1 will favor you with a music selection If you will let me alone.' I'll fa vor you with several pills while I am here. "Many people come to the preacher with the rry, 'Let me lone, r am on the board of steward and I want you to let me alone.' You may be on the board of ate wards but before I get through with this revivnl I'll knock the stuffings out of you and you'll wish you had not sent for me." "Put God First.?' .Bpeaklng on the text, "Search me O God and know my heart; try me 0 Lord and know my thoughts," Rev. Burke Culpepper conducted a splen did meeting at the Wesley Memorial church Friday afternoon at 3:30. o'clock. Rev. Culpepper gave a very sim ple and forceful discussion of this search. He used many excellent II lustrations which Involved the hu man eye. He told now the eyes oftentimes portray the thoughts of their own er. ReT. Culpepper contends that a woman sees many more things than a man and these are of a different natnre from the things that come within the range of a man's vision. A woman closely observes the clothes of 'another without seeifig the person, while a man more, close ly observes the features of the other person. He discussed the eye from various standpoints. Among these were the eye of a child, the professional eye. the near-sighted eye, and the far sighted eye. Ret. Culpeppeu also urged upon his hearers the idea of keeping their troubles to themselves. He naid: "I know a man who has a wife he asks ench morning at the breakfast table. 'Where do you hurt this morning, wife?' He knows she hurts somewhere and feels obllgat ed to find the! exact spot before starting his day's work." Rev. Culpepper did not fail to deal the man who wants to live a: triod ern life by Paul's method or some other ancient way a hard blow. "I like new thingn," he said. "Back when some of us were boys and girls the courting was differ cnt. A boy-went to see the girl and she sat on one side of, a room and he on the other. . They would sit and look at one another for about two hours and call It courting. Now, Instead ot hitching up a mule, the young man dresses in his best, cranks no an auto and goes to see his gin si,. mM him at the door, Invites him In and they sit on awfully .m.it Mtalra in the narlor. O, I ilka the new way best' ' t'Some people contend whlnlngly that the 'gawspel' don't say ride In automobiles and;, have modern, con venlences and pleasures. They con ' tend that Paul ;dldn't live a modern life, "Paul ;never eiperlenced'a trip on a last train; the ' sending ot 'wireless message or a ride' In an airship. V 1 have taken both rides and Paul would not fit in as a preacher of the gospol today.1 He would not attract a crow J." . ' Rev.
