THE ENDoHsKyYYr.
Turning TO the clergy. Mr. Jones re-
marked: When ain gone some Of you
may say 20 tho worldly-minded church
members, We'll, ] agree with Jones in
some things IL you do that, brethren.
those people Will ride YOU" He then
asked all the ministers who endorsed what
ne had preached in Richmond TO stand up,
and all of them arose.
MIR. Jones then made the same PROPOSE
ton 20 the congregation. and nearly the
entire gathering stood up.
Mr.. Il. II. Whitlock, who did not rise
with the congregation. arose when the
people had taken their seats and said 10
Mr.. Jones so that all the audience could
hear; " Brother Jones. there are some
things YOU have said do not endorse.
You have made many solid shots. but
think you have had too much cayenne-pep-
per IN your remarks"
When cayennC-Depper 10 rubbed on
sore spots person viii burn" Mr.. Jones
quickly responded.
This was greeted with great applause,
which continued for fully minute.
Mr.. Whitlock laughed. and evidently en-
5oyed the remark "a much as any one.
When the applause had ceased Mr.. Jones
said Mr.. WhitlOck was one OF his best
friends and he admired him all the more
for speaking his convictions.
Continuing, Mr.. Jones said if cream
preaching would save the people of Rich
mond they would have wings growing out.
They have been given soothing-syrup long
enough, and now need something else.
THE SALVATION ARMY.
Professor Excel sang rs q solo THE
Handwriting on the Wall"
Before taking his text MIR. Jones said he
desired 10 call the attention of the people
Of the city to the Salvation Army. They
have noble little band in Richmond. and
are doing work for which they alone are
fitted, and need encouragement. If he
lived in Richmond he would help them all
he could, for they reach a certain class
that the preachers and the churches do
not bring 10 Christ.
Mr. Jones took as his text st. John ill.,,
16 For God so loved the world He gave
His only bcgottcn Son that whOsoever be-
heveth in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting lifr" The preacher went on
10 speak of tho boundless love OF God
which compasses the whole world. As the
sun shines on all people alike, so GOd's love
falls on all alike. He loves the meanest
man as much az he does the best Christian.
II there is any difference he loves tho sin
ncr the most. To Illustrate this point Mr..
Jones related The parable of the good shep-
herd leaving the ninety and nine sheep and
going into tho mountains to look for the
lost one. He then spoke Of the love the
mother has for q waywaTd son, or the wife
for drunken husband, which is nothing
US compared TO Cbrlst's love for the sinner.
MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.
Speaking of the sin OF marriage for
money. Mr.. Jones said he would rather "a
daughter of his should maTy poor plow-
bov if she loved him than 10 wed a Wander
bilt If she had no love for him. He thought
all persons ought to marry. When he sees
an old maid he always thinks some fellow
hasn't done his duty, and when he looks
upon an old bachelor he Is reminded OF
hog: he doesn't say such fellow is hog,
but the sight Of him just reminds him of
that animal.
During his discourse Mr.. Jones reiterated
some Of his former statements with regard
20 the liquor traffic and eXhOrted the
preachers to fight IT in bold manner and
TO call spade aspade. He had great faith
in the triumph Of prohibition.
THE PooR WOMEN.
While Mr.. Jones was drawing the picture
of the home of the drunkard whose w'io
for small pittance makes shirts to sell 10
the wholesale dealer, he took occasion to
say that one of the rreatest questions tins
country has to deal with Is the matter of
the half pay given women. When he was
in the North he advised the people not TO
bother themselves about the cOlOred
folks. because the South can take care of
them. but TO give their attention 10 the
half-paid women in New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia. and other cities.
Turning to the colored people, Mr.. Jones
said he would repeat the advice he gave
them Saturday afternoon, Go 10 work:
they have too much leisure. To saya negro
will steal everything he could get his
hand upon " lie There are some as good
and as true men among the colored people
as any race.
SYMPATHETIC love.
In concluding his sermon Mr.. Jones
spoke Of sympathetic love. Some old " ID.
D.'s,' hc said. Will bring the ship of Zion
within ten miles of the shore and call on
all sinners to come out and getaboard; but
the sympathetic love brings the vessel up
to the land and puts down the gang plank
and cries, "All aboard for Glory" He
then told Of Gods great forgiying love.
and at the close of his remarks quito
number Of pcuitents came forward.
just before the meeting closed Mr.. Jones
said he did not know how many people
had been converted. lie believed the
spirit was working upon at least ten thou
sand, and that the revival will continue for
some time. Several hundred, he said, had
= p
churches of their choice at the first oppor-
tunity.
SAYING GOOD-BY.
Before dismissing tho congregation Mr..
Jones said he wanted 20 thank Chief
UsherJ j. Thompson Brown and his assist
ants for the excellent manner IN which
they have done their work; also, the
CLERGY and choir for their assistance in the
meeting. He felt deeply grateful 10 the
press for IT'S fair reports of the services
Not an unkind thing had been written
about him except 10y sOme nam ds plume
