was an interesting one, and all present
were attentive.
The service was opened with a prayer
by Rev. DR.. Bourland, and then an in
teresting service of song under Professor
EXCEL was INDUCED in.
Mr.. Wells took up the usual collection.
He said he preferred Il good collection to
a large one-would rather have a niokeI
apiece from fifty men than 500 from one
man. He saw seven ladies on one eat,
and six put in nickels. He did not think
among seven men that six would put in
nickel
Mr.. Jones thought there was no dan
ger of mans hat being lost among the
ladies, unless there were feathers on it.
Dr. Wells said all the pastors of Fort
Worth are backing Bro. Jones in this
work.
Mr.. Jones came forward, Bible
in hand, and merely said We will
now be quiet while 1 talk awhile on con-
secration. L hope the reporters will get
what say. 1t has been said that 1 said

never SAID so. The railroad men are
among nv best friends. I have been to
their houses, seen their families, and
love them.
81 never preached about finger rings,
tobacco, breastpins, bracelets and such
things. 1 have larger work. He is out
partridge hunting who does such things.
He had better not tackle bear with his
guns. l have great respect for railroad
men, but not much for the great Cen
trail.
'sThere are the railroads all over the
country giving reduced rates 10 this
meeting except the Texas Central. L
won't give tickets to Sam Jones meet
ing. He is working for money; so am l.
l won t do it, If L was a citizen Of this
place 1 would never go on that road.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas and the
Houston and Texas Central don't make
any concession to Sam Jones' circus.
These railroad men, where do they get
their money? They get it out OF US. L
will have that manager to know that
though we may not always do right We
spend thousands OF dollars on railroads
1t is a reflection on every man among
you that they cali this q circus. If you
can stand it can.
Conservation TO the service OF God,
am one of those who believes that God
does not use US unless we give Him the
right of way 1t Is wonderful how God
can use the simplest instrument with the
grandest results. Conservation IS my
part of the work, results are God 3 part.
Consecrated to right causes in the right
ways. l have seen men cOnsecrated in
such a way that God could not help them
work. When He approves you and your
methods God will do something with you.
Your methods may be so that God can
not use you. Some of you are good
You don t commit sin. You don't do any
thing bad; no, nor anything good. You
are goody goody. That post never does
bad thing. If that is what makes a
Christian, it ought to be the best Christian
in town. Christianity is two forces COM
bined. 1t has its positive and its mega
tive side. Cease to do evil IS the mega
tive. l propose to do something.
Mr.. Jones gave at this point beauti-
full description Of electricity, the positive
and negative currents meeting and tear
ing the tree to pieces from top to root.

England, and in one sermon brought
more sinners to Christ than all the
preachers in London. Beware OF a

up to Gods altar and says take every

HSome conservation is like these third
party fellows: They talked and worked
till election day came, then voted their
same old tickets. If a man Is religious,
he is religious everywhere, all the time
and under all circumstances. If he has
religion, he will be as religious at the
pillow handle as he is in the prayer meet
ing. It is as religious to plow as it is TO
pray. It is as religious 70 run railroad
as il is to run q meeting. Some Or you
