ANOTHER LARGE CROWD
Attends the Evening Meeting synopsis of
the Sermon.

The sermon.
The audience last night was thought To
bc nearly rs large aS that of the morning.
Many OF the people attending yesterday
went home before the evening service, but
many remained, attracted by Jones rcpu-
! tatiOn To hear him last evening. The
crowd was 50 large in the morning that
not one-half heard him who were dcsirOus
OF doing SO. 1t WAS said by someone that
the greater number did not get within
gunshot of Jones, and certainly not with
i'll hearing distance.
The service Of the evening began by the
singing by the choir of several of the sweet
songs contained in Jones' book, The
Great Awakening"
! Contrary to his usual custom Jones ap-
pcarcd upon the stand in the evening quite
a little time before the hour of preaching
| lie looked tired and nearly worn out
One would imagine from his appearance
! that he was 4 man of rather delicate
| health and not likely to endure Il great
deal. but whcn it is taken into conSdera-
ton the number Of sermons he has preached
during the plst year he must be Il man en-
dOwcd with almost IN
IRON CONSTITUTION,
After prayer by Rev. Randolph, Of
Wheeling, Rev. Jones requested Mr.. Excel
to sing "Thc Model Church." He com
piled with the request, but under protest,
~ he claimed he was too worn out. This
song is Il description told by IN old gentle
man who has visited church and describes
it TO his wife. 1t is church
that pleaScs her old fashioned
notions and in which the congregation are
earnest workers for the Master, aud care
nothing for the outward show of the mod
crn church After the singing Rev. Jones
announced his text rs follows; "Thc spirit
and the bride say come; and let him that
hearcth say come: let him that thirstcth
come, and whatsoever will, let him drink OF
the water of life freely" Before annOun-
cling the text Jones said that he would
preach this morning at 1890 o'clock, and
again in the afternoon at > o'clock.
The speaker said that the words Of the
text were Gods last message to man. He
had been talking TO the world for over
four thousand years, but this last ines
sage was the grandest and most comforting
of all hi. loving words TO mankind. ]
am 80 glad that after all the
THREATS AND WARNINGS
in the past He wound up at Revelations
with this last verse.
The reverend gentleman divided the
text, by taking up the words separately
and enlarging upon them. As an intro
ducti0n he described the grand events Of
the Bible TO the time when the Spirit de-
SCcndcd upon the 1000 people on the day
Of PentecOst GLORY to God for the dis
pcnsation of the Holy Ghost He then
took up the Bride and said that il
meant the Church of Christ. After an cX-
PLANTATION of what the Church is and has
been doing. he said: You may live
out and die out of the Church, but
God blessing me intend TO die in it,"
He illustrated the words Let him that
thirstcth come" by saying that these words
were drawn from the camel train crossing
the desert They were in the habit when
the caravan become short Of water Ia scnd
out man on camel, and few minutes
after him another and then another and an

sight OF the oasis, when he shouts 10 the
man following. "Waterw and from man Ia
man the welcome news passes 10 the
caravan that the blessed water has been
found. SO it is with the water Of life, with
this exception; whosocver drinketh Of the
water shall never thirst again. Whose
ever will
WHAT WONDERFUL WORDS.
The elect OF God are the ''wiOSOeyer will, #"
and the non-clect are the whpOeVer wont
Jesus Christ dominates every man and If
you run you will bc elected. You can die
on these words, "whOSOever will" God
stands at the door and knocks and who
sOever will' opens the door he will conc
in and sup with him, lie doesn't talk
about being good enough or have feeling,
but will
like that little word "lct." In the
beginning God used this word first when
He said let there he light, " and now He
says, !'whOsOeyer will, let him take Of the
water of life freely"
After 4 further discourse Of 4 few min
utes, he complained Of being too tired,
and went TO his lodging house thorough
ly exhausted man.

O'Clock this afteTl00a,
A man with huge kettle Of soup could

A man in the crowd was heard 10 say to
another, yesterday: Wonder if this Sam
Jones is any relation to the Sam that lives
in our county.
There were more tired ard dusty people |
