jumps up over me, and can hardly get to
the house. What's the matter with the dog?
He loves me because have been kind to him.
And go down to the stable and my horse
places his lips against my cheek and kisses
me as well as horse can kiss. What's the
matter with the horse? He loves me because
l have been kind to him. But there are pro-
fesSed Christians who don't show spark of
: love and gratitude to God for His kindness,
and they are lower than my dog or my horse,
and don't know but it would be good idea
for some of them to get little more hair and
tail and trot around the country among the
folks.
I saw how God loved me, and fell before
him and said God, am sorry that I have
been so wicked When mar loves God he
next falls in love with humanity. There is
the divinest current between man and man.
You show me preacher with sympathy and
I'll show you a preacher with power. Here's
a great big old ID. d. He stands up in the
pulpit and looks as though he was five miles
away from you, and says in a deep, cultural
voice, Here am /. If you believe as do you
will be saved, if you don't you'll be damned,
and / don't care which you do Do you
know what dignity is? It's the starch of the
shroud. / wish we had some of those ID. DIS
here. I'd give it to 'em, l tell you. but 1
want you to tell them what I said. What we
want is sympathy. God give us preachers
who have got something to recommend them
besides white cravats and kid gloves"
At this point the speaker stopped and
after long time someone in the cOngrega-
ton said amen"
you was q long time getting that out, :"
said Mr.. Jones. This remark created gen.
eral laughter. He continued:
Love! Love is the soil where patience
grows and sympathy grows and brotherly
kindness grows.
DO You KNOW
brother who had dollar in his pocket or q
place at his table, and needed the dollar Or
q meal of victuals and he wouldn't give either
to me, | wouldn't call him brother. You
have got to unite with the churches by love.
Love; sympathy. When we get sympathy
for these sinners, we're going to move 'em
around here. When we get hold of a fellow
we'll say. you've got to go to God
OF We'll tear your coat and if
you are bound to go to hell, you'll have to
go without coat. I've talked longer than 1
expected to. but want you to help me and
get down to work. If you want a cornstalk
revival you will have to get another fellow to
run it. Now. brother trusting in God and in
His love and kindness, I'm going to return
my gratitude to Him every day, and want
you TO do the same
AT the close of his remarks, Mr. Jones
pronounced benediction and the congre-
CATION dispersed.
The sermon was very effective one, and
during the hour that Mr.. Jones spoke the
congregation was moved alternately to
tears and laughter. He will probably
preach again this morning.
