A SECOND DOW.
An Er1entric Divine BeheadfnE the
Devil I'm Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, January 5.-Rev, George o.
Barnes, the mountain Evangelist of Ken
lucky, amodern Lorenzo Dow. has been
creatinga q sensation in this city, during
the weed, by his service at the Chestnut
Street Baptist church. He is firm be-
liever ID what is termed the faith cure"
and at the conclusion Of his service he calls
up theafiicted, anoints them, prays for
their recovery, and assures them all will
be weillif they have faith. Mr.. Barnes
claims that God never damns, but il is the
devil who does, and says he makes sickness
and disease and God heals. Every day We
see in the newspapers the lie that ii hath
pleased God to remove our brother. God
didn't remove him. The Lore gave and the
Lord hath taketh away is lie, started by
old Job, when he was in deep affiiction.
There is not a bit of truth in 1t. The Lord
gives but the devil taketh away. He con-
tinued, that though the devil may lay grief
upon US, 1t soon wears out. Time heals.
The weeping widow will console herself in
a year and wholly by marrying another
man.
Watch and pray. This Divine injunction
used 70 trouble me a great deal. l could
not understand it. / would pray TO the
Lord and watch the devil; then pray the
Lord aud watch the world, and the flesh,
and then the devil would slip up behind
and catch me; but thank God l am over
that difidulty now. Ipray the Lord and
,watsas q, and He protects me. He will
not let me perish so long as look 70 rim
Mr.. Barnes caused people to look around
at each other in amazement when he be-
headed the devil. Take away the first let
ter, he said, and you have evil. Remove
the second and you have vii; the third and
you have il; the fourth and you have
word that sounds like hell itself. So you
see, my friends, the devil is mean all
through, and l don't intend TO have any
thing more to do with him.
At the conclusion of each hours service
he invites backsliders and sinners to come
forward and have their sin-sick souls cured,
after which he extends an invitation to the
afflicted in body to come and be healed. II
none come forward, he does not insist, but
says they will do so before he is done here.
He does not seem in the least discouraged
at the apparent slow progress for good, but
feels that he has done his best, and leaves
the result with God.

and more than able to hold his own with
KassOn, but the latter has the faculty OF
