ton for the poor shop-girl than for the
daughter of the Gar of Russia or the
daughter of the President of the United
States. Remember, young man, when
you are tempted to rob the virtue of an
innocent woman that every girl is some
body's sister and somebody's daughter.
| have said many things in these meet
ings, young men, out of my head, but now
| speak out of my heart. Avoid intern
perance. This tongue has said many
things to cut and pierce, but thank God
have a good heart. If you'll scratch I'M

there, and if | amt there I'm gone to
dinner. Listen to me-and he related his
own sad experience. When at II years old
a physician prescribed whiskey to him az
a relief for nervous affections to which he
was subject. His prospects as a young
lawyer were destroyed, his wife made
miserable and himself a drunkard.
The recital of the story of his life af-
fected the speaker much and at one time
he broke down and wept. Said he, | can
never count on myself at this day as be-
ing safe from a drunkard's grave and |
beg you all to pray for me that | may
have strength to withstand the devil.
When he finished and sat down nearly
every eye in the immense audience of
men was wet with tears. No one could
have looked on the meeting unaffected.
All who would make the resolve to lead
a better life in the sight of God and man
were requested to stand, and it is safe to
say that not a dozen in the house re-
NAMED seated. Many came forward 20
the altar and either gave their names to
the preachers for membership to the
churches or asked for the prayers of the
people.
A collection of $3.50 was taken up by
voluntary subscriptions for the Or
phan's Asylum, maintained by Mr.. Jones,
at Gainesville, Ga.
II CLOSING EXERCISES.
Over six thousand faces looked into
that of Mr.. Jones as he arose to speak
choir had been singing some of its
choicest selections, and Prof. Excel ev-
identity was innocent of what was in
store for him. When Mr.. Jones arose to
his feet, DR.. J. d. Roberts stepped down
out of the choir and walked around in
front and handed to Mr.. Jones a beauti-
full gold-headed The audience
grown accustomed to surprises, waited
patiently for developments.
Mr.. Jones said that the members of
the choir had requested him to present.
this cane to Prof. Excel, who he said,
sings the gospel as much as l preach it.
He had literally sung his way into the
hearts of hundreds of thousands. Mr..
Jones complimented the choir and said
that it had been excelled in only two in
stances and these were at Round Lake,
n. Y, where it was better only because
it was bigger, and the other instance was
a niger camp meeting, and he meant
this as a compliment, as "they can out
sing the world"
Mr.. Jones in the course of his remarks
Durham next year. He spoke fittingly
of "Brother Ed Parrish turning his
warehouse over to God" and said that
there was no better auditorium in the
country for a religious meeting than this
building, the acoustic features Of which
were better than any other building he
had ever preached in.
Prof. Excel received the cane in a
graceful little speech, after which he sang
a solo, and then Mr.. C%ulpepper arose to
preach the concluding sermon.
His text was, "If a man be overtaken in
a fault, you that are spiritual restore
him." The sermon was a forceful argyll
ment for brOtherly love, forbearance and
sympathy, and though less than half an
hour long, was one of Mr.. C~ulpepper's
best efforts. Owing to the crowded con-
dition of these columns a full report is
prevented.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Culpepper's
Mr.. Jones made a brief talk on the
line of his brother evangelist's discourse,
and concluded by giving the pastors of
the city churches an opportunity to make
any announcements they saw fit. Rev's.
White, Darnall, Yates, Bumpass and
Johnson made brief talks.
All of those who have been converted
at these meetings were requested to form
a line before the pulpit, and it was found
that about 200 souls had been brought to
during this revival.
\ final invitation was extended to the
unconverted and quite a large number
came forward. Mr.. Jones made a few
remarks and asked to be excused
from shaking hands as he was already
much fatigued. He tiguratively shook
hands with the audience and then with a
orayerful benedictioD he closed the meet
ngs, that have brought so much spiritual
to so many souls.
