We have no desire to sllsparago tho
Rev. Sam Jones, for he doubtless does
q great deal oil good but wo feel that
he would do great deal more II 10
howod 10 The line.
In one of his sermons on Friday, Tor
lnstancesho said: "Whv, understand
that even your women have club, q
great big club | don't know whether
they drink whisky there or not"
II would have taken Mr. Jones q
very few minutes OF investigation to
have found this out before ho made any
stitch offensive insinuntion against the
Nineteenth Century Club. This associ-
alton is composed Of about 200 of tho
best women in Memphis. Many Of
them arc white-halred women, who
have spent their lives In charitable and
other worthy pursuits. They arc falf
samples Of the culture, refinement aud
worth OF Memphis womanhood aud
tho suggestion made by the reverend
gentleman with regard 10 them was
entirely indclcnsible.
Mr. Jones, when informed that The
club was literary, replied: aWell, /
would not call Il club then; I'D call II
stick OF chip, anything but club"
The reverend gentleman distinctly
weakens himself when he talks this
kind of nonesense. There arc perhaps
80 women's clubs IN this city, whose
objects are literary, and they win hard
ly call themselves sticks or chips be-
cause the word @club" is personally Of
fensive TO the preacher. Instead, thert-
fore, of putting up straw mcn TO batter
down, the rovivalist would do moro
good If be would bit the facts. Let
bim criticisc dereict officials, law
breakers, aud vice as severely as he
pleases. The people here have very
friendly feeling for him, aud he can
do a vast deal of good; but just so sure
rs he goes out Of his way to shoot at
windmilIs and to insult good people
lie will flnd. that his words will be like
footprints Oh the sea Shore Appeal
Avalanche.
