grimS86xhe shrine of Sam Jones. The,
streets were crowded during the day, the.
hotels were all pushed to accommodate
the extra patronage, and the immense
canvas tabernacle would not hold a half
of those who sought to enter its portals
The service in the morning was more
interesting than evHr if possible. The
crowd was immense. Song service was
rendered by Brother Excel and choir,
one beautiful feature Of it consisting in
having the geDtlemen's voices alone in
one verse, then the ladies voices alone.
Brother EXCEL sang as solo ''Look and
Live, with the audience singing the
chorus.
Prayer was offered by Brother Shell

Mr.. Jones came forward and made
the announcements and spoke of
Miss Bennett and her mission.
| Something over $4,000 has been pledged
here for her work. She goes hence to
| Greenville and Sulphur Springs. He
asked the people to go to hear her, say
| ing: eff you don't get the worth Of
your money send the bill to me.
MIR. Jones took for q text the seven
| teenth verse Of the seventh chapter of
! the Gospel of ST. John. eff any man
viii do the will of God, he shall
| know of the doctrine. - ''These are
! the words of the Lord Jesus himself.
| At the time they were spoken he was
| surrounded by the learned doctors of the
! land and the Pharisees, all trying to
| probe him, and Jesus told them to test
| his words. If any man will do likewise
/ say he shall know that what I say is
! true. Christianity is unlike every
| other science In the world. Geology,
| arithmetic, all sciences are taken in with
| the mind. This is the science of Christ
crucified, a science that must be taken
| in with the heart. A man Is not sinner
| because he Is an infidel - BUT an inf

Jesus 49, 81 go W., prepare I';Pa a a

Ebeing prepared for the placer Only the
5prepared souls will enter the heaven pre-
4 pared for them. Heaven Is the center of
gravity to the soul of the Christian-to
the man who has more OF heaven in him
than of earth. If you and l would pitch
| in and do what we ought to do God
| would spread out the streets of Fort
| Worth till it became q suburb
| of heaven. But God takes in
this town. For Fort Worth to hoist her
self up as suburb of heaven would be a
| joke. But do not fall out with you for
not doing so. l fall out with you for
doubling. If you take hold OF that
doubt you will find a seed at the root of
1t, and that seed is SIN. When you ad-
vertise your doubt syou advertise your
meanness. Quit SHINING and you will
quit doubling. Throw open the door of
your hearts and God will scat
ter all doubts. - Nathaniel 8
case was given. ''Men have al
ways doubted. Humanity has always
been skeptical. But a skeptio in these
days means a blab- mouthed fool, who
never read anything. Calico was ar
raigned at the bar of humbug for saying
the world moved. He. was compelled to
take 1t back, but the world rolls on and
no one doubts it. Harvey discovered the
circulation of the blood. People said the
world moves, but the blood never. Full
ton discovered the power of steam and
they said the world moves, the
blood circulates, but for steam
to drive ship across the
ocean is impossible. Morse said 4
can make line through by which l can
talk from New York to Philadelphia. )
They said, 'you can't do it. Now all
these things are accepted and no one
wonders at them. l believe everybody
but Brother Jasper at Richmond believes
the world moves. Nobody doubts that
you can go to Liverpool by steam. Jesus
Christ 3 precious blood shed for man 1900
years ago is a science that can be proven
and demonstrated as surely as the
science of mathematics. You can be-
leve this science and demonstrate it
pNw. / want men to believe in the
science of Jesus Christ crucified. The
Lord Jesus said Il do not care what you
doubt if you will pitch in and do My will
you shall know of the doctrine. The
proof of the puddin is IN cha wing the
bag. 1t is the height of Ill manners for a
! man to say thing is true when he don 4

a are concerned, and If it amt true TO

christianity can be tested like every
thing else in the universe can be tested
like the science OF mathematics can be
tested. That is one OF the most unerrine
sciences known to men. Two multiplied
by two equal four, and six multiplied by
six equal thirty-sIx. You are fooloso-

accuracy of mathematics by the Swiss
