The Satisfactory Results of Sam Jones'
Efforts Among Sinners.
isyNcHBURG, Sept. 24-[Speciall THE
s cards of penitents who have come under
the influence of Sam Jones have been
sorted up. and they indicate religious
preferences in the now life they are
& about to lead as follows:
Baptists. .1os
! nieSnoalsts...' Observation-Disclosures. 1913
Presbyterians 10
Other churches. 81
The numbers are for the two baptist
Churches, all the Methodist Churches in
and around the city, and the other
churches in tho city. The numbers
represent tho persons protesting CONVEX
sion, penitance, or desire to lead bet
ter lives, and the number is only an
proximately correct.
III BESIDES those expressing preference
Tor churches in this city, there was a
\ large number of persons from all the
country around, in attendance on the
meetings, and many CT these yielded to
tho gospel call. TIL approximate num-
Der of such perso rs is l9S. These. TO-
gether with the 30, already enumerated
make an lv N 500.
These cards have all been sorted out
and delivered TO the pastors Of the sew
eral city churches, that they may call
4 On the persons named as soon as posi-
bic and endeavor to secure their prompt
union with the churches. These for tho
country pastors will be delivered il Il
few days.
These numbers. however. do not
nearly represent the number of CONVEX
s1ons during the whole meetings, for the
reason that no names were taken at
several of the most important meetings.
FULLY six hundred professed conversions
on Sunday, the great Pentecostal day of
the series of meetings, and at several of
The other most successful services MANY
more. These came forwsrd SO rapidly
that no names could be taken. The

From the Workhouse It Arises TO Fame
and Glory.
IL was a wheel; not a common
everyday -go-as-you- please wheel of a
street vehicle. No, far from il; for It
has seen many hard knocks. sl-o good
times, and many men have held their
hreaths expectantly asst revolved on its
axis. Sometimes their hearts were glad
when it stopped, and again their faces
wore a sad, PARKWAY, pye-lOst-sOIne-
thing look.
This wheel, like all wheels, has his
tory, and Il Is an interesting one at
mat. True, il is fair to look upon, as 1t
5 decked IN variegated cU.ors. Still,
for all its beauty. II has been arrested
innumerable times, and again it has
lied from the officers of the law on
many occasions. 1t has been incarcer-
dted in prisons, together with its owner;
n fact, IT never was able TO shake itself
free from the strong arm of the law
until recently.
THIS IS peculiar sort of q wheel. 1t
decorated with a lot of numbers and
unless you were familiar with 1t You
could not tell Tor the life OF You what
they all meant. Grand Rapids people
are pretty well acquainted with IT.,
however, as it played a familiar part in
the recent Masonic fair, in fact. il
earned many a dollar for that institu-
;ion. From plebean wheel OF fortune
it arose IN dignity and bore the dlstn-
guIshed name of the masonic
wheel of charity. Thousands
gathered about it at the fair. Men,
women and children alike paid court TO
it, and every time it revolved it meant
that one of Uncle Sans greenbacks
was going into the till for the home.
Lucky" Hall had charge of it, and
never before did it do such a rafting
business.
Perhaps this wheel will degenerate
again, but it will not be forgotten. 1t
would be interesting to watch its future
as it is owned by well known man of
the West Side who lives on his wits.
