= EVANGELIST Sam P. Jones, the
- original and inimitable, talked
for little more than an hour to
two thousand Knoxville men at Market
hall Sunday afternoon in true Sam
Jones style.
In the time that he talked he said a
good many things and not all of them
were exactly complimentary to every
body in the audience, but they grinned
and bore it and before it was all over.
Mr.. Jones made them walk up to the
chalk line and put an amen after every
thing he had said, good, bad or indif-
ferent
The audience that heard the famed
evangelist and lecturer filled Market
hall until there was no place for others.
Many others came and were turned
away. The aisles and doorways were
packed and the platform on which the
speaker stood was crowded and every
available nook and corner possessed its
human habitant, and then the space
was not half great enough.
AS the big meeting, which was held
under the auspices of the Civic Fedora
ton, was nearing a close, Mr.. Jones
asked an Offering for the furtherance
of the work of the organization and
there was general response.
The meeting was opened with an in
vocation by Rev. ]. T. Sexton, the
BLACKSMITH preacher. A. E. Doyle,
B. B. Ford, w. H. Hall and G. C.
Gossett composed a quartette which
rendered "Onward and Upward.
Evangelist Jones was then intrcduc-
ed to the audience by Rev. Geo. w.
Perryman, pastor of the Deaderick
avenue Baptist church and president
of the Civic Federation although Rev.
Perryman remarked that he consider
cd an introduction in Mr.. Jones' behalf
something quite unnecessary.
The evangelist opened his talk by
pronouncing the meeting a bigger
thing than most people thought it to
be. In the outset he declared that he
had come to Knoxville to champion no
man and to champion the cause OF no
candidates, for he would not belittls
himself or his cause by speaking in the

THE recent meeting OF the county
1 assessors with the state board OF
tax commissioners will result in
adding very large amount of money
to the tax rolls, as well as a higher val

various assessors carry out their agree
ment in good faith,

all No attempt has been made hereto
fore to assess mortgages. The question
of the policy or the proprie ty Of taxing
mortgages is not one for the assessors.
That lies with the legislature. In the
opinion of the members of the tax com.
mission, the prov isiOns of the law re-
quiring credits to be taxed applies
directly to mortgages. That they have

misrepresentation of the law.
Accepting this view of the law to be
correct, it is the duty of the assessors
to assess all outstanding mortgages at
the same relative rate OF valuation as is
placed on other property. This is
class of property easy to be found for
the purposes of assessment for it is all
recorded in the books of the auditor.
1t can be found without the slightest
difficulty and it is difficult to understand
why the assessors should affect any re-
luctance to include mortgages in their
lists. The fact that the taxation OF
mortgages will be unpopular is not
consideration which affects the assessor.
If the tax is unpopular, it is the sense
that the people do not want such taxa

ture, can repeal the law under which
mortgages are taxed. So long as the
law .equires them to be taxed taxed
they should be.

said that these allotments will use up

OWE HAVE SEEN STRANGE THINGS
TODAY"
By DR.. Alexander Whyte.
A COMMUNION SERMON.
(Luke 5: 26.)

The text is eXcellently translated.
Even the Revised Version does not pro-
pose any better translation of the text
The amazement of the people when
they saw the palsied man take up his
bed and depart to his own house is
exactly described in the text, They
were all amazed, and they glorified God,
and were filled with fear, saying, We
have seen strange things to-day" At
the same time, the original and the
literal word that the people employed
was this: 1--WE have seen the most
paradoxical things done to-day" That
is to say, they had seen things done that
day that we're clean contrary to all they
had ever seen or heard tell of before.
They had both heard and seen things
done that day that were beyond belief;
had they not heard them with their own
ears and seen them with their own
eyes? 'Inasmuch," says Mark, "that
they were all amazed, and glorified
God, saying, We never saw it on this
fashion" And as Matthew has it,
when the multitudes saw it, they
marvelled and glorified God, which had
given such power unto men," Now ]
am doing nothing violent, or in any way
arbitrary, in taking this exclamation Of
establishment for the text of my action
sermon this morning. For we are to
see far more wonderful, and far more
paradoxical, things in this house this
day. than that multitude saw that day
when the sick of the palsy was healed
with a word.
1. To begin with, the real origin and
the remote root of this days ordinance
was a very strange and a very wonder
full event. The exodus of the children
of Israel from their iron furnace in the
land of Egypt, was the most wonderful
event in the history of mankind. The
severity of their bondage; their
agonised cry to the God of their fathers;
the birth and the education and the
call of Moses; the plaques of Egypt:
the paschal lamb slain and it's blood
sprinkled on the dooFposts of the Israel

CLEAN of sunlight on her brow there

cried;

And there upon the great white throne,

And near multitude we heard them

From Him upon the throne unfading

And streets of purest gold and crystal

And walks of sparkling gems, fore'er

In robe of dazzling white, she swept
