 To those of you who are of the opinion I that monarchy is the cheapest form of l government, I offer the following written to l the editor of the Echo. It is dated May 26th, 1 on board 8. s. Lydian Monarch, Suez harbor. | 'ESir-In these days of economy it may be ! pleasing to the British taxpayer to learn that 1 this large ship, which has been ready to start ! for England at any moment since her arrival here on the 23rd inst, is detained here solely for the purpose of conveying home donkey | which has been presented to the Queen ! This delay is at cost of about s150 day. The royal animal is expected to arrive this | evening, so that we may hope that this | necessary expenditure will not any longer be [ incurred" MAX O'RELL. SAM JONES IN TEE PULPIT. The Georgia Preacher Attacks Social ! Clubs, Dancing and Spider.Legged | Dudes
 From the Atlanta Constitutional | After singing several hymns and prayer ! Dr. Munhan announced that he was very | hoarse from constant use of his lungs at ! these meetings, and that the Rev. Sam Jones \ had consented to preach for him. When Mr. ! Jones came forward there was stir in all parts of the great sea of faces in the effort | to get good look at the Georgia exhorter, ! whose recent remarkable sermons in Nash ! vile have given him 8 national reputation. | MT. Jones does not appear to be in the least ! affected by the fame he has acquired. His manners are the same as they were when he was mountain circuit rider in the North E Georgia conference. His style of preaching | is as homely, as direct and as relentless as ! ever. He is the old Sam Jones still, and is liable to remain so.
 ! His sermon last night was upon "The ! Grace of God which Hath Appeared for the ! Salvation of Men" He thanked God that ! there was such grand meeting going on in ' IT, l41 f4 Il meeting, and he prayed now that God would \ turn it to the accomplishment of great good | in this city. He thanked God for such a text on such an occasion That word salvation ! is the biggest, broadest word in the whole ! language If you take the 39 300 other ! words in Webster's Unabridged Dictionary I and put them in one side of the scale this one word will outweigh them all. Thank God, we are getting more religion and less theology in this country Your salvation and mine does not depend on the particular creed we sign our names to. Religion must go deeper than creed. It must go deep enough to change 8 mans life; to make him | cease to do evil and learn to do well. It is philosophical proposition that two bodies cannot occupy the same space at the same time. With all your churches, your two hundred sermons a week in Atlanta, what is the matter that all the people are not saved? I Their heads are so chock full of error that they have no room for religion. Some peo- pie set up lightning rods to carry off the cleo tricity of the gospel and to prevent it's shock ing them. We have great many cultivated people now. They are getting in the majori- ty. But that man is fool of the frat water who don't know how to behave in this world. You are as big fool as I was once, but thank God, I am not that sort of fool any more.
 Christ will redeem you from such folly. He will teach you what Socrates never knew and Plato never dreamed of. The most dis gusting sight in this Word is an A., D. or an A. M or an IL. D. who is such fool that he don't know how to live in this world. You are all in the right road, but you going
 the wrong way, many of you. The word convert means to turn around. That's all you have got to do. Our grand old Governor Stephens used to say that when he found he was wrong the first thing he did was to turn around and go right. In old times they used to put negroes up on the block and sell them Sometimes the negro got away and then they would sell him Ion the run" "How much for him on the runa' When Christ came to save this world he found it Con the run," and he came swift morning light and he caught this poor world flying away from God, and throwing his loving arms around it, he begged it to come back to God and be saved. T"Amen! AmeR!n in various parts l of the house. God dent save man unless he wants to be saved. Some of you little sinners are sitting around here waiting for salvation to strike you it did St. Paul. Snowbird waiting to be hit by cannon ball. Laughter. God adjusts his ammunition to the size of the man he is after Mustard seed shot will do for you. Laughter. God
 won't keep man sober who has @ quart of
 liquor in him all the time. God won't keep
 8 young lady pious who has her waist encir-
 cled seven times week by the arms of a
 spider-legged dude. [Laughter.1 A reli
 gious meeting that don't break up germans,
 clubs and card playing hasn't got the right
 sort of power in it. Why don't you say
 'amen" to that? [Laughter.]
 This club in Atlanta is run by the enemies
 of God. Look at them from head to foot and see.
 The germans in this town are run by the
 enemies of God. Look at them from head
 to foot and see. Card playing in this town
 is run by the enemies of God. Look at
 them from head to foot and see. Unless
 this meeting breaks up thess things in At
 lanta it will take you some time to con
 vince me that God had much to do with
 it. ["Amen! smen!" all around.
 Some fellows don't like what I say and
 write cards about me. All have to say is,
 the time get through with you you'll hit
 the ground running. Laughter. I want
 to see the time when the good men in a
 community shall set it's fashions and con-
 trol it's society. If you do your duty you
 can kill out the club and the germans and
 card playing in Atlanta ['EAmens" all
 around. A german is nothing but hug
 ging set to music. Laughter. A girl
 who was begged not to dance the german
 said all the hugging she get was in the
 german and she didn't mean to give it up.
 That's all the german is. Now, if you don't
 like that you just lump it. Laughter.
 Sow whiskey and reap drunkards. Sow
 cards and reap gamblers. Sow germans
 and reap spider legs. Laughter. I made
 it so warm for the spider legs in Nashville
 4l.a .%1,.-, 4o
 load the negroes. You could see little
 negroes going around town with tight
 brooches and tooth-pick shoes on. Laugh
 ter. Some of the spider legs in Nashville
 talked about skipping my face. When they
 told me about it I said with all his faults
 the spider leg has very sound judgment on
 one point. He knows better than anybody
 in the world whose jaw to slap Laugh
 ter.
 If you are not a member of the church
 I would join the club if I were you. l
 would have all the fun I could the way
 to he'll Laughter. But man who pro-
 fesses religion has no business belonging to
 the club, dancing germans and playing cards. coy er,Ae.a to-thn+ .aAszH2lf hAs-A people around here are winking and blink ing. but they don't say amen. Laughter
 What is my religion worthif it don't make
 me cease from doing wrong and keep me doing righta Let us kick this old world like a rubber ball beneath our feet and
 make it the stepping-stone to heaven. God grant us all an abundant entrance therel
 MT. Jones concluded with an eloquent ap- peal to all who heard him to forsake the ways of sin and turn toward Chr1stly lire. lie asked that all who meant to live better, whether members of the church or not, should rise up. Fully three thousand people stood. Mr. Jones said: "All you who mean to go to hell just keep your seats" This way of putting the question brought several hundred recruits to the army that was stand l ing.
 The choir, led by MT. Willis, sang grand hymn, in which thousands joined. After | prayer the congregation was dismissed, and while most of the vast multitude went to their homes in every quarter of the city, a large number remained to talk of their anx< iety for the condition of their souls or to
