Religion needs a baptism of horse sense.

   

The saloon is a liar. It promises good cheer and sends sorrow.

   

I tell you that the curse of God Almighty is on the saloon.

   

I have been, and will go on, fighting that damnable, dirty, rotten business with all the power at my command.

   

Some persons have lived manly or womanly lives, and they lack but one thing - open confession of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some men think that they must come to him in a certain way - that they must be stirred by emotion or something like that.

   

Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first.
