the general es- REV. JOHN JASPER.
TEEN until his famous sermon to prove
"that the sun do move" excited the
laughter of the country.
But it proved much easier to laugh at
Mr.. Jasper than to put him down by
Scripture texts. Every Sunday that he
is at home many white visitors to Rich
mond are seen in his congregation, and
by special request he has repeated his
argument for the Ptolemaic theory
about 800 times. A correspondent of
the Chicago Times, who heard him in
1885, gives this description:
He is venerable three-quarter mis-
cegene (that is nearly full black), with
fine forehead and very pleasant ad-
dress. His text was, ''The queen of the
south shall rise up against this genera
ton and condemn it," etc., and as he
went on and grew more excited his Ian.
guage gradually changed to the planta-
ton lingo and he looked more African.
Swaying tremulously, or leaning far over
the pulpit and waving his long arms, he
half sung, half shouted a gorgeous de-
scription of paradise.
The tropical imagery was wonderful:
"Shining sands, crystal streams and ever
green shores; golden crowns, immortal
harps and never whitening flowers; the
sun that never sets, the palms that never
fade and the love that never grows cold,
and then the angels! Oh, my beloved
brethren and sistern, the white robed
angels waiting to welcome the weary
soul to the supermagnolious bowers of
bliss and to feed us, oh, to feed us at the
tree with its twelve manner of fruits
that are for the healing of the nations"
And while every one swayed back
and forward in unconscious sympathy
(even the white visitors) he suddenly
changed his tone and told us that ''they
is some heah that is not heah for the
love of God. but jist to catch up an
carry away somefn to laugh at" Gle
looked very straight at the white mans
corner.) BIG everythingI give you is
Scripture, and my skirts is clear, and if
you refuse it and have not the love of God
shed abroad in your hearts you will go
-down-to-hell" And with this cheer
full assurance he closed.

holes, but if you have a real diamond,
but single hole will appear. Another
way is to look through the diamond at
