SUNDAY Says—

I think one of the curses of the church today is putting unconverted men and women into the church.

Some say, “I don’t like his mannerisms.” It’s none of your business. If God likes it what’s it to you then? None, is it? Not at all—no, sir!

Women go daffy over pictures, men don’t much. Women listen to music and say, “Oh, it is divine.” Men listen and say, “That is punk.”

Men need the church a darn sight more than the church needs the men. They all need one another.

The main trouble in the church today is not in the pews. It is up in the pulpit.

I repeat it, there is more Christian faith in the pews today than in the pulpit. I am just the boy that will tell you, too.

If you don’t believe in God, don’t stay in the pulpit.

There is about as much connection between some men and Jesus Christ as there is between a man with a wooden leg and the rest of his body a fellow.

Tell me why a man will be true to business, true to lodge, true to his wife, and yet he will be false to Jesus Christ.

You can’t beat the devil sister, he has been preying this old world for 6,000 years, he never has rheumatism, appendicitis or peritonites. If you get to playing tag with the devil in his door yard he will hit you on the back and say, “tag you are it.” You can’t put it over on him.

Some church members have the hoof and mouth disease, they round the neighborhood and windjam about their neighbors and talk about them.

No draft has ever been made from an honest heart on the bank window of heaven that God Almighty ever has refused to honor.

There is no one I so despise and abhor as a contemptible snake in the grass, an untrue man or an untrue woman.

You have got to have more claims on heaven than the fact that your mother is there.

I am ashamed to say there are some men whose honor hangs like meat in a butcher shop and you can buy it for so much a pound, so much a head, but thank God, they are in the minority.

What is wrong for a woman to do is wrong for man to do, and the crying need of America today is the single standard for men and women.

There are some that want a little boost in the world and they will win out.

What is hard to gain can be easily lost.

The devil puts every obstacle in the way of man or woman that wants to return to God. But the road to hell seems to have been greased for the occasion.
