Show Religion vs. Business. Two brothers down in southern Illinois Illi-nois run a country store and they have a large trade in wool, on barter. One of the brothers joined the church and became exceedingly religious. He soon got a habit of talking to his brother about the beauties and comforts com-forts of religion and tried to persuade per-suade him to join the church. "Yes, brother Jim, I know that it must be comforting and altogether helpful to body and soul to be a good church member," said John, "and I would like to join. But jest'look ye, Jim, there has got to be somebody here of the firm to weigh this yei o wool." Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. |
