ReV. Sam Jones breaches to Ladies Only
in Chicago Upon Mother, Home
and Heaven.
The Goddess, Giddy, Heartless Mothe,
the Greatest Curse That Ever
Blighted any Home.
II Homes Were What God Wants
Them to be, no Churches
Would be Needed.
MT. Jones Says He Would Build a
Wall Mile High Around
Every Pure Girl.
10 Women Only.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, March 16.-About :. 600 ladies'
assembled at the Casino rink to hear Sam
Jones talk Ito women only" No men
were present except ministers and report
ers. Rev. Sam Jones stepped to the front
of the platform, looked seriously on the
the great audience of females and smiled
just little as he caught sight of the row
Of reporters at his feet about the platform.
He said: This is the first of my series of
meetings for women only. l like that
word woman better than lady. 1t is Gods
word for you. The three words sweetest
on earth are mother, home and Heaven.
What may not mothers do for this world?
Let US look at history. The bloodthirsty
mother of Nero gave the world that heart
less dend. Lord ByrOn's mother was proud
and raised an autocrat son. John Wesley's
mother gave the world its greatest religious
teacher. George WashingtOn's simple
hearted sensible mother gave US the
father of our country" Someone truly
said: 'If 1 could mother the world. I
could save it,"
AT A WoNIAN'S CONVENTION
it was discussed as to when mothers should
begin to train their children. Some thought
at years, some at years, when one old
lady arose and said that she would COM
mence twenty years before the child is born
by giving it a good mother. Put upon one
side OF me the Bible, the Sabbath school
and gospel efforts and on the other place
my mother and ask me to choose so as to
make sure OF heaven. and would not turn
my back on my mother. But a Goddess,
/ glddy, heartless mother is the greatest curse
that ever blighted any home. Oh, mothers,
get Ill righteous relations to God. You need
him to help solve your problems. When
you feel like standing before husband and
children and saying you are not worthy or
able to do your whole duty. go to God. and
you will have his wisdom to aid you. Oh!
it takes good and wise mother to say no.
pity the mother who has to use restraint
or constraint. Do not whip out Of your
boy what you admire in your husband.
DON'T MAKE HIM A DoLT.
Don't cage him, or he will fly away
when he gets out. If homes were what
God wants them to be, there would be no
| need for churches. Some people oppose
them anyhow, and oppose revivals. They
may be sensible, but they are not pious.
Why 80 per cent. of those who lead re-
liglOus lives are converted at revivals? A
child born III an ice house may live, but
will never get over the birth chill. want
converts to come into the work like a can
non ball, as they will cut all before them.
Some people advocate perennial revivaIs.
Is there a minister here who talks that
way? Some people get into the church.
They don't know just when, nor does any
one else. They say they do not like the
reaction after a revival. Well, there is
none after this perennial kind of revival.
A man must get in tree before he can fall
out. He cannot fall down when he is lying
on his back. Sisters, live in
HOUSE OF GOD.
Ny house. my children and my all are ded-
enniaI revival. There is fi6 hhaHfff hha.Hfff IA per
gia bold enough to think of a card party or
society party in my home. And, oh! the
sweetest conception l have of heaven is
that there [ can sit down with my wife and
children, having passed death and collins
| and graveyards, and enjoy forever that
bright world. If l did not know that my
wife knelt every night with my children in
prayer l would not stay away from home
one more night, trying to preach and pray
for you and your children. Chicago has
more kinds of preachers than have found
on earth elsewhere. One stood up in his
pulpit last Sunday and advocated cards
| openly. l would not wipe my feet on him.
Mothers! mothers! you think more of your
communities than of your God. 1t is better
to be rattlesnake bit than society bit. Oh,
that woman should trOt out into the bon
ton society to attend these germans. No
gentleman wants one of those
RATTLE-HEADED, BRAINLEss DUDES,
or any other man with his arm about his
wife or sister or daughter. These are the
kind of cattle that run these germans.
They talk about my coarSeneSs, but they go
and applaud when they see worthless,
unprincipled character embracing a volup-
tuouS woman on the stage. Many mother
| spends more time on one masquerade dress
than she does on her knees in prayer during
her whole life for her daughters. God for
| give us that we should help debauch our
| own daughters. Our pulpits are hushed on
| this subject. My God! L would build
wall mile high around every pure girl.
Girls, when you go to these places, can you
not be brave and say, ''hands off. touch not
my person; L am pure woman" We
must wake up the mothers if we would save
this world. A mother had ten boys. Nine
of them were preachers but VIII was
MAYNARD AND WICKED son.
He knew all the sins of the world. He
went away, no one knew where, for two
years. One day he opened the gate and
walked in. His mother sat on the front
porch and hardly knew him, so changed
was he by debauchery. Their eyes met.
| She grabbed him about the neck and ex-
claimed, MY poor, wayward. Goddess boy,
you will never get to he'll without going
through rivers of my tears and over mount
aims of my prayers" and she saved her
wayward Will right there. When mothers
get dreadfully in earnest, the boys will be
saved. They do things here in Chicago.
which, if 1 write to my friends in the
South, they would say "Why, Sam, you
have not quit lying yet" Let us change
the fashion here. Goddess women have led
long enough. Let the mothers in the church
band together, and set the fashions in
righteousness for the old world to follow.
