Yesterday morning a large audience was pres
ent at the Sam Jones meeting at the pavilion
After the usual song service and prayer, Mr.
Jones read the following text " Alexander, III,
coppersmith, did ne much evil
81 am sure / am in perfect line with the
Scriptures, and with human observation, when
I say that God is absolutely dependent on hui
man fundamentally in the recovery of the
world, and in the salvation of men.
i BELIEVE IN THE oMNIpoTEScE OF GOD
As much as any man in the world could, who
has got no more sense than have. OF course,
every man is to measure his sense by
church members to do more tor foreign
missions, if they hoped to redeem the
world for Christ. he spoke of the strong relig-
ious element in Toronto, Canada and said that
with population of 100000, they have twenty
six strong churches, and but two saloons, and
entreated the people OF this city to make Sac
rameDto rank equally as high rellgiously. He
charged women, as wives, not TO
HELP THE DEVIL RUIN THEIR HUSBANDS,
By stirring their today for them ana getting
them to drink. He said that every man and
woman IN this town is either a co-worker with
God, or with the devil. Also, that the Alex
anders' OF the coppersmith brand are multiply
ing all over this country; that they are at work

church and sing,
'.oH, TO BE NOTHING
You can't be nothing, sister; if you are going to
only play on harp and sing songs every body
would be running over YOU. They couldn't see
you.
Then you get up and say, 81 am poor worm
OF the dust" Where did you get that idea?
Suppose the next time your husband left home
you were to write him thus:
my DEAR OLD WORM OF THE BUST"
He never would come home again. If he were
TO write you, My dear old wormess of the
dust" You wouldn't let him come into the
house again. Did you ever SEGA worm dressed
up anywhere except in the church? 1t is one
point OF the devil to get people to believe that
they are nothing. Some folks say, 81 Just

depend ON me, and if the devil were TO snap

Depend on you to cut and shoot
CUT HOME AND SHOOT UNDER THE BED.
These Alexanders try to make us believe we
are nothing and nobody, and to ruin our repu-
tation. They get some little newspaper fellows
to write articles against you You can talk a
man, church or preacher up or you can talk
them down. hate to have the ants crawl on
me, they don't bite, they only make me itch.
These little talking Alexanders are the meanest
kind
AT the close of the meeting a number came
forward and gave their names for the churches.
