yesterday afternoon. that holy terror. Sam
JONES' as the plncards on tho wall styled
him. addressed $500 people. He spoke for
nearly two hours and said q few things that
shocked somo nervous women. There were
men and women in tho audience who had
como long distances to hear the famous man.
and there is not the slightest doubt that their
expectations were fulfilled.
Sam Jones was in one Of his happlest moods.
His voice, full OF the soft. rolling accent OF the
South. gave double charm to his numerous
anecdotes. His serious remarks he invaria-
bly, prefaced with an emphatic Now listen."
or Hear" He announced the subject Of his
sermon In this way:
We shnll discuss one word. Words arc
like men: they have their body and their soul
Sometimes a very small man may have great
soul. Sometimes a monosylable may have n
soul of m Gaming infinite. And 1t Is mono-
syllable that we shall uso Ms q text II you
please. or as q subject, and 1t Is spelt h-o- me-

the homo of our ideal OF government and
manhood. When he returned to his native
city he accepted an invitation to visit friend
who lived In the country. to spend an after
noon with him.

and over his fields. Wo returned to tho
house and l sat down to his table: looked
upon the face Of his noble wife; l enjoyed the
husband take down the Word Of God and read
a chapter aloud to his wife and children and
guest. and.' he said. then We all
knelt down and prayed to God. and
then retired to our early bed. The
next morning the same group gathered.
the same Bible was read. and the same God
worshipped. and then got into my buggy and
returned to the city. and said: Il made .
mistake. 1t is not in it's capital. nor in its
White House. with it's President. nor the vari-
GUS departments. that my country lives. but 1t
is in homes like that. And out OF such homes
