M. Editor. In the issue of the SPECTATOR
next before the last. you give an opportunity
for any one to express his opinion concerning
the secret of the success Of Sam Jones as pub
lie speaker and preacher.
There Is but one answer to the question.
sam Jones was once like you, and and all
of ~, a poor weak. erring and fallen mortal.
facing the everlasting burnings. But he re-
pen ted. tnrned round, quit everything he knea
to be wrong and took up for whatever he kneu
was right.
Sam Jones is to-day, really converted man.
He is a Christian. The Lord OF Heaven and
Earth Is working In him, and through him al
ne did in Elijah of DID, to rebuke evil and es.
taolish righteousness throughout the land.
" no would dare to say. what such a man can
not accomplish? 5horn of his support, like
Sampson of his locks, he would be no stronger
than other men: IN fact, not as strong as many
men are. j. M. s.

First Responses to the query abOut Rev
Sam. Jones.

sam. Jones.
| In our issue of July 18th, we requested an
swers to the question-"What Is the secret OF
the attractiveness of Rev. Sam Jones as q
speaker" The following are the first re-
sponses:-
Having heard every sermon preached by Rev.
Sam Jones while he was in Staunton. and hay
ing heard him repeatedly before his coming to
this city, ! venture opinion as to the secret
of his pulpit power and his control over vast
congregations.
l. Mr.. Jones is thoroughly consecrated man
and having deliberately and finally surrender
ed himself to God he never questions that God
is with him to guide him in his work and to
protect him from the malice of those whose
sins he exposes and who sometimes threaten
his life.
2. Sin Is great, fearful reality to him;
wrong to God and to the sinner, and he consid.
ers his mission TO be to vindicate the Justice
and love OF God, and to save those who expose
themselves to the peril and final loss that must
come to every impenitent sinner. To compass
this end he uses without stint his marvellous
pewers of wit. satire, invective and appeal.
Fault is found with him for using the language
| he often employs, but to quote him in SUBJ
| stance. he has g dirty thing to deal with, and
must use language appropriate to the subj ect
/ o.
| munity will consent to listen to the language
| he uses. the charges he hurts into their faces
and not only not strike back, but laugh at his
humor, tremble under his Invectives and weep
under his appeals. But did any one while list
| ening think for a moment that Mr.. Jones was
saying anything in anger or delighting in the
punishment he was heaping upon the trans
| gressors seated before him? Fhe hardest things
are said with smile, and with such an evil
dent sincerity of purpose to awaken and save
his hearers, that the most guilty among them
| are touched and recognize the tender hand O
| a friend. even though it holds the knife that Ii
| cutting close to the vitals. but cutting that il
may eradicate the disease and save his patient
Anger in the pulpit will beget anger in the pew
II any man breaches about hell as If he thought
his hearers deserved and should go to Its tor
lures then you may be sure they loiu go to 1t
before they will yield under his preaching; but
love and sympathy conquer and people recog.
nize that spirit every time. While Mr.. Jones
believes that every imp enitent sinner will b
lost he shows plainly that he does not wan
them to be lost and that ne is giving bis life *
save them nom destruction. These are SOM
of the secrets of his power; others might b.
