Old Trader's Dope
NO MAN HAS DONE MORE GOOD FOR HUMANITY SINCE OUR GREAT PRINCE OF PEACE LEFT EARTH THAN SAM P. JONES. It IS UNFORTUNATE for US that GOD CALLED HIM HOME at SO EARLY an AGE!
SAM HAD EXPERIENCED BOTH SIDES of LIFE and HE KNEW HOW to TOUCH the HEARTS of the POOR DOWN and OUTS. The GREAT TROUBLE WITH OUR CHURCHES and PREACHERS of TODAY IS THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND the COMMON WORK-A-DAY PEOPLE.
THEY DO NOT GO INTO the BY-WAYS and HEDGES and GET ACQUAINTED With the COMMON CLASSES Of MEN WHO ARE IN A LARGE MAJORITY!! BUT THEY WOULD RATHER SIT In a PARLOR on a FLOWERY BED of EASE and SING HOME. SWEET HOME! SHOW ME a PREACHER of TULSA WHO WOULD FOLLOW the EXAMPLE THAT CHRIST SET WhEN HE RODE ON AN ASS WHILE thE PEOPLE CRIED HOSANNAH!! THE GREAT TROUBLE WITH OUR POLICE DE-PARTMENT is we haVe men at the HEAD Of IT WHO ONLY UNDER-STAND ONE SIDE OE LIFE THEY CAN PUT ON a WHITE ROBE and TEACH a SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS aNd DO IT WELL! BUT PLEASE REMEMBER ThERE ARE NINE MEN OUT OE TEN Wbo WORK for MEAT And BREAD EVERY DAY.
NEVER GO tO SUNDAY SCIOOL and CHURCH—WHY???—STUDY IT OVER. FOR THOSE BOYS aRe the ONES thAt OUR PRESIDENT is GO-ING to SEND to the TRENCHES!!
A GOOD OFFICER is NOT a MAN WHIO SIoTS and KLLS and TKEs the BLOOD of HIS FELLOW MAN!!! TO BE a GOOD POLICE OFFICER yOU muSt knoW BOTH SIDES of life, you MUST be ABLE to JUDGE a man WHEN YOU MEET HIM!! MANY GOOD. HARD-WORKNG MCN GO WRONG AL TMES!
