have to get down about the tenth

"Some time ago down in Gainesville.
Ga, a very nice town in many respects,
a mechanic walked up one morning In
Jail, and he opened his eyes as the jailer
walked in, and said, Where am ~
The jailer said you are in jail.
What for?' In jail for murder
Whom have 1 killed? You killed
your wife, sir, and the fellow stagger-
ed back and fell on the floor utterly un
conscious. In about an hour he came
to himself and cried to the jailer, Go
and get a posse OF men and hang me,
for | have killed the best wife God
ever made Five hundred men have
butchered their wives in the United
States since last year.
THE EVENING SERVICE
of the last day was held at the Auditor
ium at 1880 Prof. Excel sang the solo
''Where win You Spend Eternity?"
The Rev. Samuel in preaching his last
sermon Of the camp meeting quoted the
words from the first chapter of Pro-
verbs: because have called ye have
refused; | will laugh at your calamities
and mock when you fear" The speaker
early In his address wandered away
from his text and devoted the rest OF
the tine in a personal way TO men,
preachers, denominations and every
thing in general.
In talking about church denomina-
ton he said he was a Methodist, his
father and grandfather and great
grandfathers were Methodists. Even
Eve in the Garden of Eden was Meth
odist because she had fall. In COM
pairing Methodists to Presbyterians he
said the difference lay in the fact that
the Methodists were always sure they
had religion but were afraid they would
loose it, while the Presbyterians knew
they would not lose their religion but
were afraid they had none.
In speaking Of the subject OF his text
Rev. Jones asked his hearers how they
were getting along on their pilgrimage
In life. The sun has its risings. 1t has
its settings, Will yonr life go down like
the sun in splendor and glory, or will II
be scorched and withered in death? At
midnight God says, BE ye ready lie
is calling US to have eyes and ears to
see and hear. Men, will you
sit under the tree OF life,
will you stand upon the
mount Of God. God says to man, Man,
will you roam in the Elysan fields OF
bliss and enjoy II forever? Man, have
been breaking up the burrows OF your
heart Will the seeds which have been
sown come up? The Spirit is here to aid
us. There was a time when God
reigned, but for eighteen hundred
years this world has been under the
influence Of the Holy Ghost. Thank
God that the Spirit is here. 1t touches
our hearts and bids US live to God. God
not only calls us this way, bnt by His
Word. 1t comes to you and TO me with
call ten thousand times for higher
and nober life."
NOTES OF THE LAST DAY.
EVERY person. pAIClCuldtiJ Vuo yOuEa
people, has become remarkably at
tracted to Miss Wray. Five young peo-
pie were the conversions yesterday
evening at the young peoples meetings.
Every person unanimously asked that
Miss Wray return the next year.
Meetings will be held by Miss Wray
this morning and evening at the camp
grounds.
Considerable Inconvenience and an
noyance was caused by the slow time
made by the excursion trains to the
grounds yesterday. II required two
hours to make the trip OF eleven miles.
Capt. B. B. Dovener and G. W. At
kinson were at the two meetings during
the day.
Sam Jones does not compliment the
Worlds Fair officials greatly. To use
his language, he said: "They are all a
small lot of men. Icould put the whole
bunch in my pocket and never know
they were there, until they began riding
around on a toothpick."
Miss Wray leaves for New York after
the meetings to renew her work there.
