SAM JONES AT KUk0MO.
The Billingsgate Evangelist Deyotes Most Of
His Time TO Abuse of Church People.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
KoKoMo, Ind, March 7.-The Sam Jones
meetings are the all-sbsorbIng topic of the
town. Criticise his vulgarisms and con-
denim his methods as we will. he has
aroused the people to degree that little
else is talked of. The attendance Is almost
phenomenal. At every afternoon and
night meeting people have been
turned away by thousands. un-
able TO gain admission to the
vast auditorium holding six thousand per-
sons. Jones came here at the urgent solici.
tation of the Kokomo Pastors Association.
and told them at the outset that be would
decide tor himself the greatest evil in the
town, and concentrate his efforts to cor
rect 1t. So far his TRADES have been
against the churches Below follows o
part of his address last night:
Some people think they'll get to heaven just
because there's where they want TO land. They
imagine that heaven is a sort OF rendezvous for
dead-beats and flea bitten old hypocrites, where
they can sit down in the shade OF a tree and have
good place to spit. In some places the grand
jury Is indicting the card-players. Why don't
find their congregations all in jail and would
have TO go there 10 do their preaching. It's come
out of the penitentiary by q scratch. You old
fea-bitten blatherskites aud hypocrites you.
Too many church deac0ns have demijohns at

man on earth. You goddess old hounds, Dypo-
critics and sinners. Every church Is cursed with
q gang of 'old CUTTERS" contemplate, flea bit
ten old quitters, who leave one church and are
picked up by another. If your eggs are as rotten
as the town don't want to be egged You can
throw ancient hen fruit at me- but don't give me
any Of your spoiled KokOmo fruit The devil
has finished his work in Kokomo and gone on
Talk about the niggers of the South being
abused. The Niger Is all right. 1t will soon be
melon season. This will last till possum time,
and the niger will be right in it for the balance
OF the year.
Brother Bitter, what would you take for some
of your church iDembersi I expect about 10
cents dozen, about the price of eggs in hot
weather and you would sell them for the same
cause. They are rotten. They won't keep.
Down I'm Texas they have steers they feed two
bushels OF corn day. and they get poorer all the
time. They are hidebound. and won't grow.
There are too many hidebound steers in the
church. and if you, good old sisters, will hold
while sk1n Well just rip these old hides OF and
give them chance TO grow better ones.
Jones's talk is a pretty bitter pill for

to do but grin and bear it. Jones kept, the
