-'.A llight move forward brings us to
Ihe- seeming hearer. This class prob
ably fools more preachers than; any
one of )he 4)ther classes. They look
straisrht at the- neeacher and make
him.think ihat his message is-going
straight home: Things around- do not
seem to distract or disturb them. But
it is not because that the mind is be
ing centered on what is being said,
but because' their minds' are think
ing of things elsewhere. ; The - women
are thinking of their household affairs
society interests, or the afternoon
ride. The men' are thinking of their
farms, their merchandise, their count
ing rooms, or other business. 'The
young folks are thinking of their
sweethearts or what they call having
a good time.' In fact, the things, that
get the attention of these seeming
hearers are too numerous to mention,
but one can see the trouble I am fry
ing to overcome. Nothing can hold
these last three kindB of hearers very
long. Butterfly like, - they ; flit : from
one flower to another. No continued
real thinking for them. They remind
me of .Sambo and his master's horse.
The master jiaid to Sambo, "You can
not keep your mind on my horse for
1 hour." O, yes, I kin," said Sambo.
The master said "if you will, I will
give him to you." Sambo thought he
was sure of the horse. He got along
pretty, well for about v- 25 minuses.
Then he. turned to the master and
said, "Does I gets de saddle too?"
The Critical Hearer.
These are hearers that cannot be
satisfied with the preaching, of what
ever kind it may be. If it is short,
they want: it long; if it is long, they
want it short. Jf it is smooth, placid,
and cool; they want it hot and full
of thunder-Eound, sense or no sense.
If it is full of heaven and God's Jove,
they want it full of hell fire? and vice
versa. If the' preacher's pulpit man
ner is correct and a little "stiff, they
say he is stuck uj; if he is slouchy,
they laugh and sneer. If he is loud,
they want him low; if he is low they
want him loud. Although this class of
hearers give very little to the minis
ter, yet he is criticised for his shabby
clothes and these of his family, and
for his debts for the harest necessi
ties of life. Nothing in doctrine, man
ner, or form can please these critics."
Just anything for criticism; nothing
goes to please them.' They remind me
of the old political saying, "Be damn
ed if you do, and be damned if you
don't s? -k . t -
' 4. Th Literary Hearer.' .; '
rThey are those who are on the out
look for the rhetorician and the era
tor. They want their ears regaled and
tickled with ? high-sounding words,
easy-flowing phrases, periodic sent
ences and paragraphs, closing with
high-flown peorations.4t matters not
whether the preacher is saying any
thing or ot. if it is sounding big.
They like to . hear .quotations from
their favorite authors and choice bits
of poetry. I have no fight te make on
fine diction.-1 like to hear it in its
proper place. But. when that becomes
the chief thing, H becomes' a stumb
ling block.; I once heard of .a negro
preacher who hollowed out in the mid
dle of his sermon, "Gnmsnmpsion,
gumsumpsion, rgumsumpsion."; After
the service.'ene of the college colored
brethren asked him what those words
meant He said, "I doaa saely knows
what dey means, but dey did sound
mighty big." Yes: big language, that's
it This class of hearers can never
stand -a- misplaced word, a faulty J
phrase, Sj wrongly - constructed sent
ence. The King's English MUST NOT
BE BROKEN,, even though in. the
breaking of it the hearts of men are
broken and souls -are saved. 1 ,

We have read about school busses,
But we have not seen,
A word about our buss number 19
When you get on nineteen you are
nearest Heaven;
Because she was sent out in 1927.
It carries us down to old Marshall Hi,
And we will love and cherish until
we die,
For every morning, snow, rain or
shine,
We are at Marshall on plenty of time
It doesn't make much fuss at all,
Although it has some marks on the
wall,
And as for gasoline; there isn't any
use,
She will run on moonshine, or per
haps tobacco.,juice;
Every morning about seven o'clock;
Down the road she will come without

All the parts are in good shape, .
Because we haven t nappenea to nave
any fate;
Sometimes it shakes us up pretty bad,
But it's the best old school bus Madi
son' has had.
We talk, laugh, yes and sometimes
nht
And I guess you never did see such a
; sight, :
Once in a while our driver gets cross
Then he chows us who is the boss.
But he is kind to everyone
And sometimes she has some fun.
But he always watches the sharp .
curves,
And nothing ever upsets his nerves.
He Is a 'purty good fellow .
For he lets us sing and talk,
Though when we get to quarreling,
He says. you. have got to walk.' -When
school turns out and we hear,
. the horn blow,' w
Then we know it is time to so, ;
So out we all run, to the bus,.

We don't think he means any nsrm
Only hates to see us alarmed .
