wear smile mile broad. But let
fellow rob an old widow woman, never
pray with his family, cheat and do
meanness generally and when he goes
to church he'll look powerful solemn.
Ii anything makes me sick it is to see a
preacher vomiting out tombstones with
out any inscriptions on EN-. I don't
know what pretentions you people make
to elegance and culture, but Til tell
you how | first heard Of North Carolina
Some years ago [ saw an old man driy-
Ing yoke of oxen to covered wagon
with half starved dog following along
under the wagon. I asked him where
he was from and be said: ''North Car
DINA, Buncombe county, Tare river"
When | go away from here I don't in
tend to ask you for certificate of good
| behavior. In the first place | don't want
it, and in the second place don't think
it would do me any good. If you would
give me one and I'd pull it out Thousand
miles from here the people would say
they never heard of such a place as
Charlotte, North Carolina. So you see
it would do me no good. My success
here will depend On the manner in which
you Christian people cooperate with me
in these meetings. | want your help,
your cooperation. | understand most
Of the pastors haye already joined in,
and Pm mighty glad of that. But of
course there are always some who wont
operate-can't agree. That's perfectly
natural, and | don't fall out with any
pody for that. It you see me dipping down
in grammar you needn't go off and say
Sam Jones is an ignoramus for I amt.
| am just trying to get down on a
level with my crowd. | always put
the fodder on the ground and then
it can be reached by giraffe or
goat. You hear every body talking now
about 'going to hear Sam Jones. :"
That's the way all talk for the first day
or two then they change and say GO
ing to meeting" Some old fellows say
they are going every time. Others say
they amt going at all. If you meet any Of
this last named sort tell them that | say
for them to please do come; that |
don't see how in this world we can run
the meetings without 'em, Now want
you Christian people to get down to
work and help save souls. Some of you
have been church members for twenty
years and have never saved a single
soul. A young lady told me once that
she had dream that aroused her. She
dreamed that she died and her spirit
, went home to God and to heaven.
While in that great throng Of heavenly
spirits she noticed that every spirit had
upon their head a crown and
; their crowns We're bedecked with
shining stars. ''What do these stars
mean?' she asked and was told that every
star represented soul that the spirit
wearing it had won to Christ on earth
: Then she took off her own crown anC
, looked and it was starless, and righ
: there in*heayen she became miserable
: When she awoke and found it was all ;
: dream, she thanked God and went tx
work to win stars for her crown.
You can talk about your celebration
, and fairs and they are all right whel
;. properly managed, bat let me tell yol
the biggest day charlotte ever witnessed
; will be when We all join hands in bring
:, ing the town to God and save the peopl
II from death and hell Some Of you peo
: pie will go on and say you agree will
) me in what say but don't like the wa
!. say it. Why, bless your soul th
y way ''say it, is all I have paten
IL right on. [ say it so it will stick Nov
g you church people that won't co-operat
> with US, and want to shoot off you
d mouth about the meeting, just kee
your carcass out from under this build
/ ing We can fill your place with some
u body some account.
