Special - the Globe
CHICAGO. March 6.-The evangelists,
Rev. Sam Jones and Mr.. Sam Small did
not hold any meetings to-day. but spent the
dav resting i'm their hotel, and in preparing
for the work of the morrow. They have
found it necessary to make it rule not TO
receive callers on Saturday, else they would
not have a moments time TO themselves,
but when ont of the pulpit would be COM
s,elled to hold one continuous reception, so
great Is the rush OF people 10 see them, and
the desire TO shake hands with them. This
rule Rev. Sam Jones relaxed little this
morning. however, in favor of represent
atiye ef the GLOBE. who called to obtain
an expression OF his views of his work thus
far in Chicago In reply to an inquiry on
the subject, he said:
- am very much gratifed with the move
mcnt and progress Of our work the first week
OF the union series here. l never have made
greater progress anywhere in the same length
OF time"
How are you satisfied with the interest
and feeling manifested by the congregations
to whom you have preachedY'
Il have never preached TO a more respon-
sive people and 10 Il warmer-hearted, more
sympathetic people
what 90 you think of the encouragement
and support you have received from the
cleTgymcn of the city,
The support from the ministers is hearty
and whole Soulcd. The, are the finest body
Of preachers taken aS a whole, l have ever
seen. without any invidOuS comparisons"
Has il been definitely arranged yet how
long YOU will remain in Chicago!"
II shall remain here at least three weeks
longer l suppose
WILL MR.. SMALL REMAIN
that length OF time. too?"
''Oh. yes; we are together in the work.
When one goes the other goes, too"
AS he came here before you, l thought he
might precede you to the next place OF your
visit
NO, that is out of the usual plan for him
TO go ahead of me. We wont do that any
more ! don't suppose"
''Wil your method of work be different
next week from that pursued this week."
My treatment IS always governed by the
symptoms. While, of course, | shall vary
the style of preaching and method as | may
see there is necessity for change of treat
mcnt l watch the symptoms OF the patient
and treat him accordingly.
~ good deal has been said about inquiry
meetings. WIN you hold any next week."
we held an inquiry meeting last night.
There were about hundred. in the inquiry
room, suppose. l did not count them. but
the room seemed TO be pretty full. l did not
remain TO the inquiry meeting, and know very
little of what il was like"
as there anything else about your work
TO which you would like to cal. attention"
NO, except 10 say that | am gradhed with
the hearty cooperation of the newspapers in
their repOrtoriai columns. The reports have
been fuller here than anywhere l have ever
held meettaes before. In Cincinnati l never
saw an editorial, even, that was not helpful,
and reckon the same may be said of ca j.
cago. Certainly am the last man in the
world that ought TO object to the criticism Of
the press upon my methods. Their accounts
of me and my work in their reportorial
columns give them from me a carte blanche
to say what they please in the editorial
columns
