Thin room is too warm for com
fort. Brother Bradley, please
lower the top windows, and Tom,
close the damper and take your
muddy feet off the stove hearth.
Now, if Brother Hogan will lay
the poker down and stop spitting
tobacco juice on the stove hearth,
and the young man on the back
seat will let go of his girl’s hand,
I will proceed with my lecture on
hands.
When God made man he made
him mechanically perfect. He
gave him everything necessary to
his existence and comfort. Every
effort to,improve on the job has!
been a failure, and the doctors
have made it a good deal worse.
And I want it understood that
when I say man 1 mean mankind,
which includes women, Man in
his (or her) natural state is a beau
tiful specimen ot physical perfec
tion. 'There is just enough ma
chinery alKutt him, and none too
touch, lie can move forward,
backward or sideways and never;
td+ps an eccentric. He can stand
tip- lit* down or sit down (except
when he is in a street car), lie
can stick out his tongue (when the
■doctor tells him to), wink his eye
(at his wife) or scratch his head
from a variety of causes. lli> in

part of this machinery, and a very
important part. They are agents
for good or evil. They must ei-1
ther serve tin* devil or serve the
Lord. It was hands that plucked
the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge
between good and evil. It was
hands that slew the prophets. It
was hands that crucified the Savior,
and it was hands, kind loving
hands, that anointed and buried
Him. It is hands that rob the |
poor and hands that feed and
clothe them.
God gave you your hands; how
do you use themf Do you serve
the devil with them? Or do you
serve (iod and humanity *. ’tour

Undo To1h\v believes you should
keep a strict account with your
hands. If they do a mean tiling
put it down to the credit of the
devil. He will come around some
day to collect, and you will have
to pay whether you have got it on
your look or not. If they do a
good thing let it go to the credit
of the Lord.
You can’t tell by looking at a
hand whether its good or bad. If
it is bad it won’t help the matter
to wear gold rings. The devil of
ten furnishes gold rings for pretty
hands in order to fool people.
Some of the prettiest hands your
Uncle Tobey ever saw were tin*
meanest, and some of the ugliest
were the best. It is what the
hand does that makes it good or
bad. Does it steak Then it is
bad. Does it help the poor and af
flicted Then it is good.
My dear friends, how do you
use your hands' Do you employ
them in some useful occupation'
No difference what the occupation
you will have use for your hands,
and can use them to honor that oc
cupation. Are you an artist'
Your hand distributes the colors
on the canvas. Are you an author,
editor or statesman' Your hand
puts on the paper the thoughts
that move the world. Are you a
soldier? Your hand adds to the
carnage along the battle line.
Hands! llauds! Hands! Tbe
triune that pushes forward the
wheels of progress, the heart to
conceive, the head to direct, the
hand to execute. From these
three component parts of man has
evolved the history of the world.
It has been said that “an idle
brain is the devil’s workshop.’’
A wicked hand is one of his tools.
It sows the seeds of evil. It tar
nishes everything it touches.
Keep an account with your hand,
and at the close of each day know
how much of good and of evil it
has done.
Hut your hand sliould not only
be good—it should be useful. It
should not make the piano keys
wai bio tlie sweet tune, "What Is
Home Without Mother;” while
that sweet, dear old lady is in the
kitchen washing the dishes or,
mopping up the dining room floor.
It should not be lifting a glass of
red liquor to your lips while your
father is chopping the stove wood
or plowing the eorn.
Old Mother Nature waits for no j
one. The seasons roll arouna and
unless we use our hands and turn
the soil and plant the seed we
shall reap no harvest. And this
reminds me of the big stout hands
of the farmer and his boys. W hat
could they do with the small, soft,
white hands of the city dude; It
would be like spanking an ele
phant with a thin shingle. Old
Mother Nature wouldn't pay any
attention to such hands as that.
The weeds would grow up and
mock them. It takes the hard
firm hand of the farmer boy to
guide the plow. It takes the clear
head and boniest heart to know
what to do, when to do, and how
to do. And when he uses his
heart and hands to the right pur
poses he towers so far above the
city dude that the latter will ap
pear like a fly upon a drive wheel
of a locomotive.
