was at Gainesville. The Rev. Sam
Jones was born In Alabama, but had
lived nearly all his life in Georgia. His
father was a lawyer, which profession
he himself adopted, but being of dissi-
pated habits he made little headway.
The story goes that the death Of his
father brought him to realizing sense
of the error of his ways, and he made
up his mind to quit and start life
anew. He was SO powerfully impressed
with his own, wickedness, and OF the
dangers he had escaped by his reform,
that he hegan warning others, and his
wonderful success in this respect nat
urally led. him into the field of regu-
lar evangelist He travelled all over the
country. everywhere meeting with sue
cess He had wonderful power of
arresting and holding the attention Of
his hearers, and the plain, homely char
acter of his English, interspersed with
many an, apt slang phrase. was very
convincing. ,He believed In devil as IS
he believed in God, and the results nf
being ON too friendly terms with his
Satanic Majesty were pictured by him
with terrible vividness He was an
author of some note. and some OF his
epigrams are worth quoting; for ex-
ample: ,gYop don't believe what you

1t is strange how many people of un-
usual mental ability and marked intel
ligence are influenced and controlled by
some pet superstition. Among the ef-
fects of the late Mrs. Craigie (John

she took with her everywhere, keeping
it under lock and key when at home.
1t was her mascot. An amusing story
is told OF Mrs. Craigie's last visit to
America. She was to speak at some
meeting, but through some oversight

everything comes to dead stop. Nc
one dares do anything for fear of doing
the wrong thing, consequently, as said
before. everything is at a standstill.
