1 "RELIGIOUS TRAMPS"
Rev. John T. Hatfield.
CONTRIBUTED.
We never understood so thorou1 bly
what a religious tramp weaut until af-
ter we got to holding meetings in the
large cities, but they are not altogether
confined to the cities. You will meet
them in the camp meetings. They are
thorough church goers and professors.
They all profess to be saved and%ancti-
fled and kept by the power of God.
They believe in going to meeting. and
they are most certain to be there. They
fully understand the doctrine that is
preached. They have beard it so much.
There is nothing new, and while the
preacher is talking they can run ahead
of bim and shout amen long before the
preacher gets to the place for shouting.
As a rule many of them have a peculiar
voice, so that when they strike the
track and raise the yelp an old hunter
would say that's a cold track. They
never change their voice. They have
the same old story. They are so full of
it that they turn preacher in a testi-
mony meeting. They have so little to
testify to and so much to preach about
that they will break through the $bare
and help themselves to some kind of
preacher talk. Perhaps there is no one
present hut what claims the blessing.
but they talk as if no one else had it.
and yet no one seems to get blessed by
their service. What a great blessing
it would be if a lot of these religious
tramps could find some of our neglect-
ed country districts where people did
not have such a keen scentto discern a
voice on a cold track, and most likely
somebody would get saved and not
have so much wasted breath for noth-
ing. We were at a camp meeting not
long ago when a large, fleshy woman
jumped up and said: "This is my fourth
camp meeting for this year and I am
going to attend three more," and then
took her text. Such people seldom
carry any burdens. or spend touch time
in secret prayer. They have no unction
of fire in their talks, but they are re-
ligious and believe in going to meeting
and taking part. If it is an all -day
meeting they bring their little lunch
and stay until the last thing is done.
Most of them who attend camp meet-
ings live in cities and they are out for a
summer's vacation and to have a good
time. Such people as that needeto get
a baptism of holy tire upon them.
