Samuel Porter Jones, perhaps the
most successful and prominent evan
gelist and pulpit orator in the work,
for the past 80 years, was born In
Chambers county, Ala, October l6,
IS47, and would have been SO years
of age tomorrow had he lived. When
a young man he removed with his
parents to Gainesville, Ca, and after
the civil war studied for the bar under
various tutors, but was unable to take
a collegiate course because Of feeble
health
Ha was admitted to the bar in 1868
and \ month later was marrn 4. HIS
early private and professional life
was total failure on account OF
drunkenness, but after his fathers
death in 1872 he reformed, Joined the
church and within n week from his
conversion he preached the first SER
mon of the most remarkable career
I'm the annals OF the ministry OF any
church.
He soon entered the conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal church In
nOIlneTll ptOi klh anu btb"h N'' NN'''~
life of consecrated labor for religion
He soon became famous for his trite
sayings and merciless sarcasm and al
most from the very first of his career
was In demand as a lecturer and evan
gelist.
Gradually as his fame grew, he was
compelled TO resign his pastorate and
devote himself to evangelistic work
which he has followed in the large
cities Of America and Europe, without
ceasing for the past 80 years.
His sermons are unique In American
literature. He had a rough, bluh'
way of saying things which was al
once pointed. fascinating and convinc-
ing and his experience cannot be du-
plicated in the history OF the church.
Sam Jones was scheduled to lec-
ture in Pendleton during the coming
winter, the Great Western Lyceum
bureau of salt Lake having signed
him for this city.

nature. Theorists and dramatists who strike at
the institution of marriage strike not only at con

human race. Strange to say, those hare-brained
iconoclasts of moral balance find their most eager
votaries and disciples among women, often young
women. who, in supporting the movements in
stgated by visionary addle-headed. or Icentious
writers. not only exhibit peculiarly base ideal of
their own (alieging. in effect, that it is right

Still more strange is 1t that these movements have
