TRAVESTY ON RELIGION

The Sanclificatlonlsts Employ Hypno ¬

tism In Their Religious Worship

Mr Jo Smith of Honey Grove Tex¬

as an old citizen of Columbia whohas been visiting in Adair county forthe past two months handed us thefolio wingarticle for publication It isfrom the Honey Grove Tex Citizen

For sometime past the socalledsanctified people have been holdingservices in the tent west of the squarenear Uncle Joe Smiths home but thegroans of the man Bryant accompa ¬

nied by his cries to the Lord for helpbecame a nuisance and the people of

fire were asked to vacate and havenow taken possession of the groundsnear the Morgan gin The Citizen isready at all times to give a good wordto any denomination of Christian peo-ple who are striving to do the Masterswill and live the life of the righteousbut should a minister of any churchof this city continually make a tiradeupon the other pastors and membersof respective churches calling themtbives and hypocrites and the busi-

ness

¬

men a gang of thieves and rob-bers we then as publishers of a gen ¬

eral newspaper have a perfect rightto a n expression o n such mattersWhen the sanctified third firepreachers began their abuse and criti ¬

sm just at that stage of the gamedid they lay themselves open to criti ¬

cism and as they have seen fit to criti ¬

cise our citizens generally its minis ¬

ters members of churches and businessmen they must expect criticism in re¬

turnMuch had beeu said as to the dis¬

aceful acts at the tent and for threeconsecutive nights the CITIZEN wasyohto the attempt of Bryant topreach and explain the scripuras but

s attempt in each case was futilemaking dismal failure of it He adImits his illiteracy and ignorance butitwas unnecessary for him to announcesuch a startling fact as every wordsand expression proved it

He used to be better known throughthis section as a flyingjenny managerand when he met a couple of men ofthis city a short time since who knewthim as such he made the statement tothem that he had found an eas ¬

ier way of making a tying now thanrunning a flyingjenny and that hewas sure getting the coin Thesemen arc well known in this city anwill substantiate our assertion and

unquestionedpThe denunciation of all religious

people who do not believe as their fa-

natical¬

hypnotists do has caused agebeenwhole tent outfit after a certain luurin the evening proceedings has beentaken in charge by a lot of young Amercas who have made the whole tentshow that of ridicule and derisionSuch sccns arc naught but mocker

cand blasphemy x f the teachings ohChrist and the scenes at the bench

when they claim that the spirit of Godprosttrating with the fire Is a fraud of

the firstwateIILast Thursday night Miss Wagonerdaughter of one of the preachers w

prostrated with the lire and soteremainedtold when she awoke to cat a good

hearty meal this making the scumor third time she had been hypnotizedtwith this fire On Saturday alititsafepenitents were getting to the frolitthatvery slowly but Mrs Wagoner wentthe bench she being the wife of one

preachers and mother o f MIscJWagoner She was after a reasonblc length of time upon her kneesIsurrounded by Bryant Wogoncr andJohnson who closed in on their victimand Bryant called upon the Lord toissend the spirit of fire to burn from

crown of her head to her toes andwhile this was goinRon the hypnotistswere getting in their work and shesoon began to totter and was caughtby her husband who stretched her out

the ground after which the threeleft her while the fire act was got ngouron

One very noticeable feature is thatBryant wants no one to get near to seemanytheir work butonSaturday night eIrthework was so course that it was detect ¬

as a party unknown tojthera stowithin three feet seclug the work

Bryant always cles out fur police

protection if any onahappuris to standflycent them too long while they are

firing llulr victim with hi 1niutin

l

It is nothing more nor less than basehypocrisy for men to pretend in then lme of their Creator to prostratewhen it is only done through them ¬

selves thus becoming the work andpromptings ofjthe devil in thus tryingto deceive the unsuspecting

Now that the public and those whoare atttending these meetings to seethe fun may know that we mean justwhat we say we will take a man ofthis city one known to be a worldlyman and in the eyes of these preach ¬

ers one posssessed of the devil becausehe has not been fired as they haveand will appear with him on the pulie square or in the tent at the optionof these preachers and will prostrateour victims just the same and whenthey have had a good dose of the firehypnotism will cause them to shoo

and pray or sing as loud as any oneWe will see that they give a firstclassperformance while Brother Will Birdleads the choir There will be o

charge for admission nor ntaken up Neither will there be anydeception as the performance will bein the presence of all and the ¬

ers can rest assured of front seawhile the performance is going onWe only make this proposition to showthe people that the prostrating byBryant Wagoner and Johnson is doneby themselves and not in answer to anyof tkcir prayers as they would makethe unsuspecting believe and is noth-ing

¬

more nor less than a fraud perpe-trated

¬

on an unsuspecting peopleWears ready to carry out our propo-

sition¬

any night if these preacherswill notify us stating place and hourthey desire performance to be given

Mannas Historic Hand

Students of character as portrayedby the human hand would have beenanatoa¬

mists in a plaster cast of the hand ofdeploredtthe taking of the cast which was re-

quested¬

of him by a woman lart anat-omist

A cast of Hannas hand would haveformed an attraction in any museumEven the person who could not distin-guish between a line of life and a thin

dline of heroes would pause andbefore a cast of the hand of

ark HannaThis then he would tell himself

is the hand of Americas WarwickHere is the hand that gave the Amer-Ican

¬

people the only emperor who everruled in along line of Presidents Intothis hand poured the rapid successionof checks that put the trusts into full

ssession of the United States Onthis palm fell the fat hot from the fry¬

ing and the beans hot from the bakingand it flinched not This is the handthat spanked the mighty Roosvelt forthat St Paul speech in which he ac-cused the Democrats of cowardlyshrinking from duty abroad and fromthis hand passed all the wires thatguided the actions of the Philadelphiaconvention delegates

These would be simply the sentiImental reflections of a casual museumvisitor How much more the palmistmight have gleaned from an inspectionof the pudgy fingers and a scrutiny ofthe network of lines will never beknown Hanna refused to allow themaking of the cast It may be thatIHannas sound business head prompt ¬
