Some OF you may say, the talker con

You are liar, you old fool YOU! God
helps them that helps themselves. Bet
ter have your boy bit by n mad dog than

and the other the soul forever. Look Gt
this crowd! Amt some of you sick
Lord, God, make you vomit; morally |
mean God put you women to work;
now work your husbands so they will
vote right. A woman can do more with
her husband because she is in sympa-
thy with him, and il your wife says you
are pretty it is because OF her sympathy.
| have made prohibition speeches
and shall make more. A preacher that
makes no temperance speeches, don't
believe God ever called him to preach
and while God may forgive him, / don't
know whether will or not.
During Jones's performance the large
audience that filled every seat in the
auditorium and those outside, listened
carefully in order that every JOnGsisn

At 3 o'clock the Rev. DR.. Rogers, of
the East Ohio Conference, preached ut
the auditorium to a large crowd OF peo-
pie, while DR.. j. S. Stone entertained IL
large number in the park. The young
peoples meeting at & O'Clock was pre-
sided over by Rev. DR.. Stone and was
largely attended. The trains leaving in
the early part OF the meeting took away
a large number OF people, yet when the
bell tapped for the $50 service the au-
ditorium was crowded TO hear Jones
talk again.
Saint and sinner We'd with each other
to obtain front seat, but the ushers,
who were under the command OF Mr..
LnllanCe and who did excellent work
all day, were equal 10 the task OF seating
all. The choir, which bad been doing
grand work lending its valuable assist
anCe toward making the day success,
was early on hand and gave n song SER
vice that was much enjoyed, the audi
enCe giving the closest attention, and

Jones began his performance by say
ing; This is n wonderful book we
