THE TWO SANS.
OPINIONS OF PREACHERS ON
JONES AND SMALL.

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE papers this afternoon
printed a number of interview letters from minis
ters regarding the work of Rev. Sam Jones.
Prof David Swing wrote: "Sam Jones Is sc
terribly strong against heads and hearts which
need plain talk and brOthery advice, that his merits
surpass his mistakes. Up to this date Sam Jones
seems valuable christian, and moral force.
Right Rev. Charles L. Cheny, rector of the Re
formed Episcopal Church of Christ, and bishop OF
the synod of Chicago, isvery outspoken in opposi'
ton 10 the evangelists. and makes the following
objection to their work:
"The exceeding COarseness and vulgarity OF their
language degrades the gospel and ministry OF
Christ" Said he 81 speak with reluctance, be-
cause ! am not opposed to proper revival methods,
but, in my Judgment this attempt to put the pulpit
on a level with mOuntehank shows can result IN no
good to the church in Chicago"
Rev. DR. Thomas said he liked Jones theology.
~ think, though. we will have to say Brother
Jones is eXtravagant in some things Said he:
81 do hope that such methods may result in a deep
awakening being made, and have not lost hope
in that direction, but fear his extravaganza and
some of his positive methods may serve to weaken
his influence
Other ministers interviewed declared their belief
that good work will result from the efforts of the
two eyangeists (JOnes and Small)
member of the Calumet club club saws Jones
enough of gentleman. or decent enough for mem
bership. Their coarse characters would unfit them
for it. Several clergymen now helping Jones and
Small have atteneed receptions at the Calumet
club, and spoken at the gatherings of the club this
"hOuse of death" They will do again. How
can they remain in their seats and allow this per
son to drivel wholesale coarse SANDER of members?
