! SARATOGA, Sept. 11.-Sam Jones has
concluded his summer engagement at Round
Lake. Thousands of people went there to
see him. Here are some of his savings:
ITO be a christian you must be prohi-
/ bitionist. / don't mean a third party man
but you must be a man that is against
everything that favors whisky, and in favor
Of everything tat is against it" To this
some Of the preachers shouted Amen
wnen Jones said: "If you say amen to
that you can never vote the republican
ticket again"
"rm so glad that l don't preach like
other preachers; and I'm SO glad that when
| ever anyone else tries to preach like I do he
makes an ass of himself
Most preachers could learn from the old
darkev down south, who said: My sermon
Will be divided into three parts-de text, de
| subject matter, and the arouseuents; and,
seeing it is 50 warm, we'll leave off the first
two parts and take 10 the arousements.'
I've never said a vulgar thing in the
pulpit, never. When a horse has sore spots
on him he thinks a cUrrycomb is vulgar,
but when he is sound be likes it.
The dog barks and whines at the moon,
Dnt the moon shines on; and so your uncle
Jones is going to let folks scold and howl,
and he will try to just shine right on"
II he homes OF this country are the key to
success, or TO failure. And as many homes
have been turned over to worldiness and
folly, multttudes are going to the devil
"a man will pay a dollar day to have
his horse trained Alright, and be careful to
have 1t sheltered from every danger; but
we let our children come up as they win"
"The thing now most TO be dreaded in
your home is yellow-backed literature"
Don't let bad children into your yard,
even if their parents are rich"
You say l don't preach the gospel; but
you, poor soul, you wouldn't know the
gospel If you should meet it coming down
the road.n
"Nine-tenths of the old people are after
the dollars, and nine-tenths Of the young are
| after good time, and it is hard to tell
which are the biggest fools"
"If God loves everybody, then will not
| everybody be saveda No; for love never
mothers son would ever go to a drunkard's
| grave"
"a man gives his wife $50 to buy a new
dress, and she needs it: but she takes the
money to buy coal and pay rent for some
| poor woman. She has more religion than
one who rides to a missionary meeting in a
5000 carriage and then pays her monthly
| subscription of 10 cents. "
ut takes two things to make christian !;
first, to realize that God loves you, and
second, for you to pitch in and love God ell
you can"
| God never forces a crown upon any
body who doesn't want it; il he did, the ras-
cal would go and sell 1t the first chance he
got"
THE happiest fellows In the world are
the ministers Then turning to those on
the p.atform.) True you don't get very
big salaries, but you get all you are worth. :"
'If man begins to give literally, folks
begin think he is losing his mind"
WAS there nothing on his body when
| foundS"
Nothing except half-empty bottle of
| whisky"
That makes It as bad as ever" commented
the coroner. "AS far as that goes, he might
| be either from Kentucky or Maine. However
