REV. SAM JONES
AT THE TEMPERANCE TABER-
MACLE.

On Monday evening the Rev. Sam Jones ar
rived, and he was greeted with eat cheering
by the people who were anxiously expecting
him. Though the weather was quite unfavor-
able as 1t rained before the hour of meeting
and continued during the meeting the spacious
Tabernacle, that will accommodate three or
four Thousand persons, was crowded., all the
seats being filled. and thu aisles filled with
| persons standing as close as they could be
pack ed. with the space and fences around on
the outside also filled, With some on the roof Of
| the building. The services were opened with
the singing of the doxology. fervent prayer
was then offered by Rev. John E. Massey.
State Superintendent Of Public Instruction.
Then the choir were about to sing when the
cheering of the audience indicated the arrival
at the Tabernacle of Rev. Sam Jones VINO
mounted the stand. and, waving his hand 10
the excited multitude, asked them to be quiet.
saying that was the first essential thing. that
all might hear. We are. said he. in sense,
brothers.and should be kind to each other,
| however we may differ he hoped no one
| would cause any disturbance.
1t is an occasion in which we worship God.
1t was as religious to preach temperance a.
| regeneration and repentance.
| He then announced that he would speak the
next day, Tuesday. at lO1z A. M. P. M. and
SP. M.
We must. said he, take one side or the other
There can be no doubt which side he would
take. II you could ask God which side he
would take, you need not ask Jones which
| side he would take, for he would take Ged's
side. Tho side the angels would take. or the
mothers, or the pious wives. or the innocent
/ children, or the dead. If they could speak,
that side he (Jones) would take. Your action
In this election will define your relation to the
| liquor-traf1c. IT. you vote for 1t, you become
co-partner of the saloon-keeper. Are you. he
| asked, a member of the church? If SO, how
can you reconcile Christ with whiskey? In
Rome, Ga, there was father who opposed
prohibition. Some time after. to his great sur.
prise and deep modification, his son became q
drunkard, when he repented of the course he)
had pursued, and told Jones that he Zones
was right in his warfare against the saloons,
and that he would never again vote against
the prohibition of the saloons. This is a time
when all in Staunton are busy talking. They
say all they think, and q great deal more. and
some are telling lies. The people are shooting
off their mouths, and many of them 60 off
half-cocked. At this point crash Of boards
was heardjust outside when Jones humorously
said that crowd is on the fence, and he wished
to knock the Triggers beneath all who were on
the fence in this contest" He was working
for these little fellows on the fence, who would
