This is a snapshot from my great-grandfather's sermon notes. Or, in this case, other notes--looks like a newspaper clipping, actually.
Do you know--
. . .
That the war that will end war will not be fought with guns?
In this personal note to his congregation, Pastor Boone, who lived through World War 1, reminds his flock that the war to end all wars is G-d's battle, not man's.
Other bits of good advice are included.

I could almost be embarrassed to be associated with the man who reminds us "That the teakettle, though up to its neck in hot water, continues to sing."
But it's so . . . so old-school Texas folksy. And not quite like something written on a knickknack from a Christian bookstore. And, more importantly, it's also right next to the sober reminder "That there is no prospect in reduction of the wages of sin."
Amen to both reminders.

Hmmm . . . "fine characters never use coarse talk."
Brood of vipers. Whitewashed tombs. Sons of hell. Children of your father the Devil. Who said those things?

I do agree about the war to end war part. The claim to be fighting a war that would end war was ignorant, arrogant, utopian propaganda.

I don't think he'd call that coarse talk.
But if Paul said "sh!*" in Phillippians then you might have something.

Interesting to see “flu” in quotes, like a newly-coined slang term that hadn’t yet entered common parlance.
