Attractions at the North Platte Chautauqua.! Mitchell Epigrams From His Lecture "Job Or The World's- Ash Heap Some Terse. Sayings by the Fiery Little Minister From Rhode Island - By C. C.MITCHELL, Lecturer nt the Chautauqua. OB was no poet, preach er or president, but n big, healthy, wealthy, J happy, honest, manly man of the street. lie was a business man. I am glad of the change-. I am getting tired of studying life from the angle of poets, preachers and presidents. The trouble in the world today is not in the social sys tem, but in the human system. Many apostles of righteousness are killing woodpeckers, think ing they will stop the rot at tho heart of the tree. You don't have to feed all men angel food ttjkecp them good. Job was a millionaire reduced to an object or charity in two hours. , .... viwwf,,,u.ij v -JL 70 $fc.2 r ' First honors go to Job. "Satan struck him a solaj plexus blow and all that it did was to send him to a prayer m6eting. Character is God's big job. He was only amusingNHimself when Eo made the stars and built the fire in the heart of the sun. He wants men with knot, gnarl and soul twist to them; moral giants with which ho populates His eternities. If ever the Almighty made a blunder it was in his selection of Adam instead of Job with which to start Eden. The accident of birth is soiiietliing' I don't know much about. This tin spoon and silvcTSpoon business has not been made plain in my arithmetic. Job was big. Hence when a man like this jumps the track you are going to see a wreck. lie was no hand car. If you want to get rid of a lot of suckers who feed upon you, just go into bankruptcy. Some men are like rivers. They arelargcst at the mouth. OBEYING GOD IS NO GUARANTEE OF A 50 RAISE IN SALARY. It is not piety that gets dollars. It is push, genius or un adulterated gall. . God has not promised to keep a man fat, well andvhappy, even is he does pray three times a day with his face, turned toward Jerusalem. Pink tea soldiers of the cross will be so far back, they will have to use long distant telephones to know what is going on.
