In speaking of Sam Ioaes'S critics, the
Greensboro UorLmoH pungently says:
zone Of the curious things Of history
it is more curious than anything at
tributed to Sam jones' is that some of
the hardest critics Of the evangelist would
he ready at any tine to appropriate his
work in the shape Of his converts, and
while protesting against his way of sling
ing the gospel broad Ak would pick up
his chips and put them in their own
basket In a life of no l:ttle observation
we have never known an eVangci t
whose methods were so questionable that
any II mister, Or church session,O veStry
or deac0n'S meeting, or any other rcCclv-
ing authority would reject his converts
on applicant IN for berShp. To make
these reflections n brief a pos, ible-
., rupture methods = m>2lvc~ have often

ii i aS when the walls of Jericho fell
down after being compaSsed about seven

the success was not II. the method, but
in the faith attending it.
We suspect that the excessive form
atty orlli, age has made it necessary for
he work Of Sam Jones, and others out of
the line of Pna i1aic punctiliouSness, and
that God il lis mercy visits the people in
this way rather than let them sleep the
