Sam Jones on Sanctification.

At the First Presbyterian church
in Nashville, Tenn, Rev. Sam P.
Jones preached sermon of great
power on Friday, Feb. II, 1897, on
Psalm l7;2: "And speaketh the
truth in his heart"
Mr.. Jones said:
"a man is never better than his
heart. A clean heart is the need
of every Christian man and wo-
man. This should be the cry and
the plea and the earnest object of
every believing child of God:
"Create in me a clean heart, O
God! Thank God that many peo-
pie seek and obtain it. [ don't
care what you call it, whether the
second or the third or the thou
sandth blessing, it cleans out and
then cleans up-purifies the heart,
cleans up the life and, thank God,
SO benign and wondrous and so
needed a work of grace can be
possessed by men and women. l
welcome it under any name, and
have profound contempt for the
spirit which would depreciate the
people who possess it or the great
grace which has come to them.
You may Say what you please
about the holiness people, but I
want to say this: [ have never seen
a holiness man that wasn't Pro-
hibitionist from his hat to his
heels. [ have never seen one who
didn't vote for prohibition always
and everywhere. [ have never
seen one that didn't fight liquor,
card playing, and every phase and
form of worldliness in the church.
| have never seen a second blessing
man or woman that believed in or
gave card parties, INDUCED in
punch singing, went to the theatre
or dancing parties, or engaged in
or encouraged any phase or form
of the deviltry that is cursing the
church today. I have never seen
second blessing man or woman
that wouldn't pray anywhere and
everywhere when called on, and

them are wrong In the head. There
are black sheep in that flock as
we'll as in your flock.
Some second blessing people,
so called, haven't got the right
spirit, and maybe don't live right.
l can say this-such folks haven't
got the second blessing, and if
they ever had it they have lost it.
And l can say that some of the
crowd that is everlastingly tight
ing the second blessing folks may
have had the first blessing when
they commenced the fight, but
they have fought and fought until
they have lost the first blessing.
You have got to have clean
heart if you have clean life, and
God desires both; and yet some of
you worldly gang in the church
are whining: II just can't live
without sin; just have to sin
everyday; I am just poor worm
of the dust, and poor human ma.
ture is so frail that I just can't live
without SIM"
Well, now, just tell me what sin
it is you are compelled to commit
every day? Just sit down and
write it out on piece of paper and
look at it, and see which of the
commandments you have got to
break every day of your life.
The fact is there are lots of you
folks that profess to make a full
consecration, who know that there
are tempers, carnal passions, and
thousand things unexpelled from
your nature which keep your Lord
from a full and absolute suprema-
cy in your hearts. And yet you
profess to have turned the whole
thing over to him!
Oh, brethren and sisters, you
have got to turn loose, laying
everything on the altar, and sweep
out into the ocean of Gods infinite
love. Thank God that I ever did
that. Some of the sweetest men,
ories of my life and the profound
est experiences of my Christian
character are connected with these
holiness brethren. Never shall [

l will tell you another thing: l
never saw preacher in my life
that was fighting the holiness
crowd that wasn't dead dog in his

it. Every little preacher that you
may hear fighting the holiness
people is fellow that hasn't had
a revival or a conversion in his
ministry in years unless he got
somebody else to hold his meet.
ing. God just won't honor such a
| preacher. You never see man in
the church who fights the holiness
people but what if you will search
down far enough you will find him
wrong in his life or rotten in his
character.
[ will tell you another thing:
Whenever you hear one of the sis
ters in the church just pitching
into these second blessing fanat-
ics," as she calls them, you may
set it down she is one of them old
gals that either has a punch bowl
in her house or she slips across to
her neighbours and just "takes a
little, or leads in some form of
worldliness.

will find that all the fellows that
have got the blessing don't mind
trimming. The second blessing
people are right in heart: some of

ports that President Wilson had threat
ened week ago to send 100000 Amer

United States to send troops from Vera
Cruz to Mexico City TO prevent ex-

hua to see villa and Carranza. Fuller
reached there today. and Is expected to
CO. operate In efforts to bring Carranza
and villa into harmony.
White House officials said Fullcr's
mission was to gather information and
urge harmony and deny that there had
