long as man breaches the truth
the truth can take care Of
itself and the man both at the
same time. Talking about being
q free man, if getting drunk
and raking up devilment is to be a
free man, then ! want to stay in jail
all my life. Liberty is the privilege
of doing right. License means you
can do wrong if you will pay the
penalty. That is tho difference be-
tween liberty and law. Look at old
John Bunyan. They thought they
had him q prisoner and locked up,
but he got his parchment gathered
together and wrote his |Pilgriln's g
Progress down there in that dun
geon and when the last page was
finished God Almighty made the
doors fly open, and old Bupyan has
been flying around the world for
four hundred years. Put man like
that in jailP Bless your soul, bro
ther, the Lord was just fattening him
up for a race. He was lust whetting
him up for long journey.
"God Almighty never failed man.
We fail one another and DECEIVE each
other, but God never fails us. God
never made fish with fins until he
made an ocean to put him in. God
never made bird with wings until
he made an atmosphere for it to fly
in, aud God never planted the in
stincts of life immortal in our soul
until He had built heaven for our
souls to dwell in.
"And Jesus also said: Il am the

ment to world like this. Come and
eat and be hungry no more forever.
Let every famishing mortal drink
and be thirsty no more. Thank God

A GREAT SERMON.
Sam Jones 'Preacl1es to Congregation of
F'iftsen Thousand People,
NO JEST, NOR SLANG,
Nor Flash Of Hun1or, but Discourse That
Made Men and Women Weep.

CARTERsvILLE, Ga, September 18.
Fifteen thousand people thronged
the streets of Cartersville and
crowds filled the tabernacle this
morning to hear Rev. Sam Jones
preach on the closing day OF one OF
the greatest religious revivals over
witnessed in this State.
MIR. Jones delivered one of those
masterful sermons with which he
moves thousands of human hearts to
tears. No joke, no flash of humor,
no slang fell from his lips as he hold
spell-bound the great concourse of
people for one hour and a quarter
with a flow of beautiful thoughts,
of good words and touching Incl
dents. The smile which greets his
keen humor, when his wit manifests
itself, gave place to the sob and tear,
for women and hard men of the
world wept like children as he spoke.
"You think, oh my God," he ex-
claimed in one of his impassioned
bursts of pathos, "you think Sam
Jones is sailing in calm waters be-
meath cloudless blue skies. Oh, my
friends, you know not of tho fierce
fires that sometimes almost consume
me. The devil first tried to starve
me out, and had not bread to put
into the mouths of wife and children {;
he tried to flatter me with the adula-
tion of the people; he tried to ma
lign me with the tongue of scandal !;
he tried to buy me while thousands
of dollars passed through my hands,
and now, oh my Father, He would
lay His hands on tho beloved children
of my heart"
"Fight him, SAM" cried out
gray haired man in the audience.
"Aye, until the bitter cnd," cried
out the evangelist in words that
echoed in the wooded ravine below
the hill, while his form quivered and
the tears rolled down his checks.
Women buried their faces in their
hands and wept and strong men were
convulscd with sobs.

at its regular scale of popular prices this
week. Richards and Garfield with their
play. 'sAfy Boys" form one of the strong
est comedy combinations on the road, and
have played this season such houses as
the Manhattan Theatre, New YORK, and
the Columbia Theatre, Boston. The Pc
culiar idiosyncraeies of Squire Saas Plum
mer and the way they are played on by
his three sons and daughters-in-law, make
the ground work for a farce that no lover
of bright fun cleverly exemplifed, can
afford to miss. Richards and Garfield be-
gin a weeks engagement tonight.
The interest in the biograph at the Bi1ou
Theatre shows no abatement as the Wor-
cester public grows more familiar with 1t.
Manager Others announcement that he
will shortly arrange for views of local
scenes to be presented with the machine
has been warmly received as q capital
idea, and now people are wondering how
they and their neighbors will look when
shown up on the screen. In the meantime
an attractive list of views is announced
for this week, including five that have not

"Endeavor day. was observed in
many of the churches Sunday by group
meetings of prayer and song held at

naming of places of meeting. The at

services were helpful ones of prayer
and song and lasted somewhat less than
an hour The Importance of the day
was not referred to generally in the

was made of it, though Rev. e. NJ. Chap
man, at Central Church, at the evening
service preached on the theme, "A clean
life" a sermon appropriate to the an
niversary OF the Christian Endeavor
movement. He showed that the clean
life was the underlying principle of all
the Y. P. S. c. e. work The text was
taken from Psalms cxix, 8: Where
withal shall a young man cleanse his
way?"
The day brought to mind the marvel
Gus growth of the movement, which Is,
without doubt. one of the greatest
Christian movements of modern times.
Today millions upon millions of young
people follow the standard. In every
land and in every cline young people
are banded together for the spreading
of Gods word ard the introduction Of
broad, liberal Christianity, which
shall embrace all mankind within its
limits and make all mankind brothers.
The societies of Pilgrim, Hope, Be
thany, GAINESVILLE and the First Pres
byterian gathered at the South Baptist
