DIR. JONES on DIR. HARPER.
The WeIl-Known Divine Talks In
terestingiy of University President.

Rev. DR.. j. William Jones filled the pull
|, pit at Leigh-Street Baptist church Sun
day evening for his son, Rev. NJ. Ashby
Jones, who preached for the Venable-
Street people, and preached a sermon
which made fine impression. and really
was a mastery effort.
DR.. Jones is earnest and energetic in
his delivery, if anything. and what he
says is not apt to be forgotten by those
who hear him.
The discourse Sunday evening was a
strong argument and plea for a return
to the old-time Teligon-the religion of
our mothers Bibles. He combated the
tendencies of the day towards scepticism
and ultimate inidelity, and at this point
addressed himself especially TO the young
men, whs sometimes are even heard TO
boast Of their scepticism. But, he said,
these did not read their mothers Bible,
but the books of Tom Paine, Voltaire,
and Ingersoll. He warned the youth
earnestly against these mems works and
against the teachings of Briggs and w.
II. Harper of Chicago University, whom.
he continued, the authorities of Rich
mond College had the indiscretion % in
vite here last week 10 deliver an address
to our boys. He said DR.. Harper had
maintained that there were two Isaiahs,
and that the books of Daniel were no
more than idle myths, 10 be catalogued
with the Roman tale of Romulus ana
