The fellow who lives purely for the gratification of his lust, is so low down he’d have to take an airship to reach hell. The most useless woman on God’s dirt is the society woman. It’s a good thing to have money and all it will buy, but it’s a better thing to sit down and think whether you’ve got what money can’t buy. We’re making money by the bucketfuls in this country, and we’re going to hell in carload lots and on excursion rates, too. Citizens who will not live on a level with the Ten Commandments ought to be in the penitentiary. Public opinion does not always judge correctly. SUNDAY ON EVOLUTION. “The Bible says: ‘In the beginning G-O-D, God!’ I don’t know when that beginning was, but in the beginning God! whether it was 6,000 years ago or a hundred of millions of years ago, as some cranks now claim, created the heaven and the earth. I don’t believe the doctrine of evolution. Did this tabernacle evolute? No: common sense will tell you that. Did flowers evolute? If things have evoluted, why haven’t they been improved upon during all these years? Flowers found today along the Nile grew there in exactly the same form centuries ago. Have they evoluted? You can put a gold belt around a hog, tie his sides up with ribbons and he’ll still squeal for slop. He’s the same old hog. Has he evoluted? If you believe human beings evoluted from the ape, all right. If you believe that your great-great-great-great-grandfather was a monkey with a prehensile tail around the limb of a cocoanut tree, all right; but don’t connect your monkey ancestors with me. Listen here, I’m going to stick by that book—the Bible if I die the very next instant.”
