THE Ravages Of Rum had been an
nounced as the subject of Rev. sam p.
Jones lecture yesterday afternoon at
Paramount Park auditorium. The little
crowd that braved the rain to hear the
lecture was composed Of church people
and manifest admirers Of Mr.. Jones pc
culiar eloquence. He looked them over
and changed his topic to that of Prayer. -
In the evening the subject was The Bat
tie of Life
Mr.. Jones possesses a many-sided eIo-
quence. He changes from uncOuth MINI
icry and bold jokes TO tender pathos and
from pathOs to solemn eaTnestness. The

evening ne talked with feeling and tender
ness and hope of the struggles Of hui
manity He ended this lecture, in which
earnestne mingled with polished
phrases, by a peroration wherein he
dropped back into his uncOuth speech. It
was an example, and Mr.. Jones no doubt
knew it was an example, of how the most
hating language may convey powerful
elOquence.
Running through Mr.. Jones talk is a
thread Of strong automatic thoughts.
