Show His Fervor Dampened. Down In southern Oklahoma, after the cotton crops are laid by, It is the custom of the colored population to hold big camp meetings. At one of these, the minister was talking of the great Joys of heaven. One of the brethren became very much excited and began shouting: "Praise de Lawd 1 Praise de Lawd 1 Hew J does wish I'se a June bug! I'd spread my wings and fly away to heaven." At this one of the sisters sprang up and said : "Why, Bruddah Mose, one of dem woodpeckers would be sho to git yo on the way." New York Evening POSt. 0- |
