BALTIMORE. Md. January 18th. 1904
MessTs Editors II am pleasantly situated in
this city and having nothing special to occupv
my moments thought would write few lines
for THE UNION. There IS always something In
progress to please the tastes of all both religious
and otherwise.
For some time union services have been held
in the different Protestant churches, which help
to elevate the minds of those who attend to
purer and better things than this life affords
Rev. Samuel Jones was here on Sunday last
preaching three times. In the morning he
preached at Madison Avenue NJ, e. Church. Rev
H. b. Patterson. pastor. t3oclock in the after
noon he held forth in Music Hall, every seat in
were Obliged to stand in the aislee and galleries.
and many could not gain admission. Preceding
the sermon was musical service. Many promi-
nent persons were in attendance. Rev. Charles
N. Hawkins, of Trinity NJ. e. Church South made
the opening prayer. DR.. Howard A. Kelley, of
Johns Hopkins Hospital. made an address de-
scribing the work of the Florence Crittendon
Mission for the benefit of which collection was
taken and goodly Gum was realized. Mr.. Jones
was at his best and said that one year ago he
thought he would have to cease preaching, hav-
ing lost his health and partly his memory. but
he was glad to say he had fully recovered both
and was in the war to fight the devil while he
lived, whether it was for short time or many
years. He has grown tritile gray but lost none
of the fervor of his former self. His text was in
PHILIPPIANS: "Who is Christ? Where is Christ?
What is Christ 2" He said 1.-The salvation of our
souls depends upon the answer to these Ques-
lions. Never have greater minds been working
upon these questions, greater tongues speaking
l1non them and greater pens writing upon them
than right now. Through all ages men have been
cropping in the darkness for their God. The
freest and happiest man is the one who loves the
TRUTH He also preached in the evening in
Emanuel M. E. Church South, Rev. j. o. Knott,
pastor. For all this he received not one cent
although some wish to believe otherwise. He
proposed to arrange his affairs and come to Bal
timore in May If the citizens desire it to help
save the young men, as ne noticed tne absence
of them from church services.
The verdict of society is that this has been
thus far one of the gayest winters that Balti-
