Rev. John II. Jones, known as loan
Maelor," and resident of Pontypridd,
South Wales, occupied the pulpit of
the First welsh Baptist church, South
Main avenue, at both services yester-
day, preaching in the morning to an
unusually large congregation. The
discourse was in the Welsh language,
but those who understood say it was
one of the best ever delivered in the
church.
The text was taken from Isaiah, fif-
ty-hfth chapter, verses II and 10: For
ye ehall go out with joy, and be led
forth with peace; the mountains and
the hills shall break forth before you
alto singing, and all the trees of the
lrld shall clap their hands. Instead
Of the thorn shall come up the fir
tree; and instead of the brer shall
come up the myrtle and it shall
be to the Lord for a name, for an ever
lasting sign that shall not be cut off,
At the o'clock service the church
was taxed to its capacity, ana the
famous preacher again presented Bib
lical truths in a forceful and logical
manner. Fart of his sermon was in
English, which was giver FOR the ben
eft of the younger people who cannot
understand the welsh language. Rev.
d. u. Hopkins, the pastor of the
church, assisted in both services.
Rev. Jones is making a tour of the
United States with Rev. Chas. Davies,
of Cardiff. who preached yesterday
morning and afternoon at Olyphant,
and in the evening at the Puritan Con-
gregational church, North Scranton,
Mr.. Jones is one of the shining lights
of the Welsh Baptist denomination and
was born III Brymbo, Denbighshire, a
little village famous as the home OF
John Wilkinson, the pioneer of iron
workers.
This town is little larger than &
hamlet. but has sent forth her sons tC
all parts of the world TO win honor
and fame. Rev. Jones father was
known as "Alltud Glyn Maelor," and
contributed many poetical ccnposi
tions to Welsh literature, which have
been plagarized by men prominent IL
public life during the past ten years.
The son was educated in the Liam
gollen college, and held his first charg'
in Aberdulas, afterwards going t
Brynhyfryd, Swansea, from whicl
place he was called to the Windso
Street Baptist church, Liverpool. II
