A Great Sermon.

HoIE-TnRUSTS FROM THE PULPIT.
Ii ever people had good excuse
for staying at home those of Vicks-
burg did last night, for it had rained
all day and at night a furious gale
began and though Of short contin-
uance lasted long enough to entitle
any one to call the night a stormy
one. Nevertheless tie reputation OF
Rev. Sam. P. Jones eloquence filled
the Presbyterian church, which will
easily hold 100 persons, as full as
was comfortable, and if more had
come they would have found stand
ing room only.
The singing was splendid, as might
be expected with such strong choir,
especially when led by Mr.. Excel,
whose voice is extremely sweet and
powerful also.
Mr.. Jones (who will perhaps par
don the liberty taken by the press in
introducing him to those Vicksburg-
ers who have never heard him, as a
man of medium height, with dark
hair and eyes, pleasant features. and
a very agreeable tone of voice), took
his text from that beautiful passa ge
of St. Paul's epistle to Timothy, Il
have fought good fight. l have
finished my course, have kept the
faith" prefacing it by few prelimi-
nary remarks which were delivered
with the ease and fluency Of a prac-
tised orator, but with an earnestaess
and degree Of feeling peculiarly his
own. There is no denying the charm
and grace of his manner, nor that he
possesses in high degree that per-
sonal magnetism which at once at
tracts and enchains attention.
Addressing the congregation he
said that circumstances had been
against lis to-day. but he had always
found that meetings in bad weather
were the best ones. At sunset the
tent was up and at present it was
down, but it would soon be up again.
He then announced services at the
Presbyterian church at 1890 a. m.
and 20 p. m. to-day, with an evening
service also at the same place, in case
the tent was not ready. He had
heard Vicksburg spoken of as hard
town, but this. if true, was no obstacle
to success. In blasting soft rock, the
charge of powder, when iguited. was
liable to blow out and effect nothing.
but when the stone was hard, if YOU
bored hole in it, put in your pow
der, and touched it off, tons of rock
would be broken up.
Reverting to his text, he spoke of
st. Paul as the grandest man that
ever lived. History did not show his
yeer. He was an honest man. His
stumbling-block was the divinity of
Christ. When God set him right on
that he kept on straightforward.
The trouble with a great many of
you little fellows is that you never
were honest day in your lives"
God has only to set an honest man
right and he will stay So
'.One Of the greatest difficulties in
Vicksbuig is that you have no sides.
You are oil pretty much agreed; there
is no Issue between Heaven and hell.
You want a line drawn here between
the church and the world"
