“They tell me a lodge man will share his last dollar with a needy person,
die for the widow or the orphan, put his head on the track ahead of the
Twentieth Century Limited or allow himself to be shot to pieces before he
would be false to the vows he took amid the scent of the orange blossoms.
That sounds like a good man; but there are lots of men who will be true in
all these things, and false to Jesus Christ. They will go to church and
partake of the communion, then will go out and line up in front of some
bar or tell smutty stories. True in business, true in society, true in the
home, but a perjurer in the sight of God. If you are such a man you are a
backslider—a backslider, sir, and a liar.”
“Girls, you are a fool if you will walk along the street with a fellow who
smokes a cigaret as he walks with you. He wouldn’t walk with you if you
smoked one.”
