CHICAGO, March Sam Jones preached
this afternoon at the Casino rink to a con-
gregation that seems to follow him where
ever he goes in this city. 1t was. as one
good sister expressed it, rather of ''the
stuck mp sort" in that he worked in his
claim for a good share of the credit for the
religious excitement that Jones and God are
kicking up here. After he got down to
work on his text, he said:
This book talks mighty plain. don't re-
member going out of the Bible TO get word
called q man red-noSed devil, but the devil
part l got out Of the Bible, and that is the
part he objected to. Jefferson Davis said the
most intolerable feature of his prison life
was, not that he was in captivity of foe,
but whether day or night, eating or trying to
sleep, he was even conscious of the
TWO BURNING EYES
OF the sentinel resting on him. It was intol-
cradle. Brother, the two burning eyes of
God are resting on you. He understands
you. He knows all about you. He knows
whether you are trying most 10 please Him
or 10 please man. am glad God sees me.
The world sees my foibles and mistakes, but
it does not see how much pray. God knows
Judge mans faith by his works. When hear
Christian people getting up to say they have
credit to them to say ii. Quit your meanuess.
II your works were right, il would be the best
proof your faith was right. There is Just as
much sense in praying for sweet potatoes as
TO pray for faith. Now you will say have
STEPPED BEYOND ORTHODOXY.
No, I haven't. I never have. My ortho-
doXy rests on the steel rails taken out of this
Bible, and they are laid down on the cross
ties of humanity. Oh, Lord, give me muscle.
That aint the way to get it. Go over TO the
blacksmith shop and swing the big hammer
Just keep your mouth shut and do what God
tells you TO. There has been much said since
L came here of indiscriminate denun-
citation of the church had
TO do this, for you see If I
had let down the gap thep would all run out.
There is no danger of hurting the good
Christians. My plan is to beat the goats and
to feed the sheep, and if you have got hit it
is because you were goat. Laughter The
best way to prepare for a revival is to turn
everybody out of the church who is not living
right. Some seem TO think purity a second
consideration to peace. If you can't have
any peace except at
THE EXPENSE OF PURITY
would not have any. If had church here
which / wont have, for wont get a call,
and wouldn't answer it If did-and if you
kept running on your present schedule. j
would turn every one of you out or bust your
church into a thousand pieces. Brother,
let US let iniquity alone and get
after the deviltry Of this COM
munity. Thank God, there is not
Christian church in the world that
has not pronounced against these things. 1
Just want to hurrah for MethoGiSm, and hur-
rah for any ism that is down on these things
Talk about preaching: BLESSED are the
pure at heart" wait until we've got them
Let US lay aside all such foolishness. Lord
pity US sitting ourselves on what we are.
Let US have a grand old Holy Ghost revival
We want the prayer and financial revival 1
want to see God Almighty control as much
money in this city as the devil does. want
a revival of honesty and revival that will
bless everything as high as the shoulders of
God and as broad as humanity.
