From Sam Jones' Sermons in Chicago.l
 God pity the Christian man that consults public opinion on any question of conscience conviction.
 There is but one soil in the universe of God that infdelity would grow in, the soil that's filtered by the unfaithful lives of pro- fessing Christians.
 Now, there are two very distinct kinds of courage. There is what we call 'tmoraP' courage and what we call physical cour- age. I don't go much on physical courage, because we find the highest expression of that in bull pup. [Laughter.]
 We say we believe in old-fashioned heart religion. Brother, if I can't have reli zion in but one particular niche of my person, 1 want it right here in my right hand, that can do something for God and humanity. You hear that? Laughter and applause
 Reputation is like glove. You can put it on and take it off, and you can rend it and throw it away, and you have not lost much; but character is the hand itself, and when once it is scared it is scared forever.
 Listen, there must be an issue. When the issue was made between the North and the South see how the lines were drawn. Then every loyal citizen beyond the line in the South hurried back over Mason and Dixon's line, got his musket and went to the front,
 
 over the line, got his weapons and went to the front. The effort of my life in the pull pit is to make myself understood. I don't care cent whether you agree with me or not I want you to understand me thorough ly. If you think the devil is going to sur render Chicago without fight, it is because you don't know your old acquaintance. You are not posted. The devil is running this city. Laughter.
 High and Low Church.
 New York Letter to the Philadelphia Recordl
 A queer story was told me by bishop of the Episcopal church many years ago con- cerniRg the origin of this religious faction controversy. Soon after the beginning of the present century the Rev. John Prentiss Kewley came here from England, was or dained in the Episcopal church, became a popular preacher and was settled finally over a large congregation in Baltimore. He ex- hlb1ted strong evangelical tendencies, hob- nobbed with other denominations, intro duced extempore prayers in the service, used the surplice but little, and otherwise aston ished the old-fashioned high and dry Episco- palians of the day. But he soon got a fol- lowing among the clergy and established and built up the Low Church party. His gregation idolized him and one of the chil- dren who was named after him subsequently became Bishop of Rhode Island, viz, the Right Rev. John Prentiss Kewley Henshaw. At last MT. Kewley announced to his sorrow ing congregation that he intended to go to Europe to pass the remainder of his days. To brother clergyman who bade him adieu on packet ship at New York MT. Kewley made q strange confession, saying that he vas member of the Society of Jesus when he came to this country, and that the Jesuit fathers had given him a mission to come here, take Episcopal orders and set up Low Church faction, and so to divide and weaken that church He added that he had accom- plished his work and now had orders to re- turn to Rome. In that city Father Kewley was afterward seen and recognized in the dress of Jesuit by several American clergy men. give the story for what it is worth merely adding that the bishop who told it to me evidently accepted it as fact.
