NO FRIEND IN NEED
By a Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK.-On 23d St. and Madison Ave. an individual of some group is being paid to teach the poor broken-down souls who call the Madison Sq. Park their home, the office workers and the passersby lessons in sky piloting daily, the Dominion of the Almighty, etc.
Monday this preacher had a devilish time because he was heavily opposed to non-believers and theists, as he called them. These people smashed his logic to "smithereens," and the Holy Ghost did not come down to his benefactor to give him divine inspiration.
