One hundred and four souls de-
clared for Christ last night, after
Bob Jones had painted a score or
more of word pictures in every one of
which the awful figure Of death how
cred in the foreground. And, the
models that he used were not puppets
of a fertile imagination but real peo-
pie from the hum-drum busy world
Of today, people whom the evangelist
either knew personally or had friends
10 vouch for. IN every picture, too,
Death appeared upon the canvas with
a single stroke of the brush. coming
into he picture, AS is his wont, when
least expected or least wanted.
Mr.. Jones had yestcr-
day afternoon that he would speak
either last night or tonight on the sins
of Sumter, but, after coming upon the
platform last night, he announced
that he would take no text, but would
speak upon subject mentioned In
many places throughout the Bible;
this subject proved to be Death" Mr..
Jones said that he is a firm believer in
the second coming of Christ, and that
some generation of Christians is going
to be transformed so as to have the
joy of meeting Christ in the air on
the occasion of his second coming.
However. no man car know when
that will be. Generation after gen.
Grafton has preceded us to the grave.
and the natural thing that we must
expect, in this generation, is to go
into the grave, just as our forefathers
have done in advance of us.
The evangelist said that it is not his
custom. and certainly not any pleas
ure, to tell death bed stories, bu,
that Christ, the greatest teacher the
world has ever known. told them, and
told the most awful kind, too. 81
hate to see mourning" Mr.. Jones said.
1T is human to shrink from DEATH; |
don't like to think about death; / like
to think about life" However. the
awful fact remains that at some time
or other in our lives we must think
about Death. There is no way of
getting aroun him. Death Is no re-
spectcr of persons, homes, riches, or
any other thing that the world has vet
produced. And since death is incvi-
table, 1t is the wise man who makes
preparation to meet the inevitable.

speaker continued. Some of you fell

Death comes to most people when

tributions suggestive Of a present dis

Of earlier origin, or the examples of

nothing more interesting than a toll

no great consequence. There is scarce

Retrospective wing, modest array Of
old masters and of a few notabilities
like Courbet. Puvis de Chavannes,
Monet, Fortuny, Matthew Maris and
Bastien Lepsge. Some good things ap-
pear, but this side Of the exhibition is
so uneven and 50 untouched By system
or discrimination as TO be practically
negligible. No, the foreign nations are
not IN perfect form at the fair. Il is
matter for regret. But al this in
tensely American exhibition it is, per-
haps, not inappropriate that the visitor
should be thrown back upon American
works of art.

many Of the artists represented IN the

surface he seemed almost common

those traits are tempered By the

The Influence of the War Upon the
European Section.

II is, obviously, Of omissions that one
has first TO speak in approaching the
foreign side of this exhibition. The
European conflict has played havoc
with the international character Of the
scheme as it was originally projected.
OF the countries at war Italy alone has
made the kind Of display which she
might have been expected to make in
time of peace. France has done
astonishingly we'll. in the circum-
stances. but hardly as well as she prob
ABLY intended when she was invited to
take part in the fair. England and
Germany are absent, save for few
pictures that have accidentally strayed
into the building, and there is nothing
from Russia. Some Of the neutrals
have played Up, notably Holland and
Sweden, and | have heard OF an in
teresting collection brought from Nor
way, not installed when | made my last
visit. Portugal is present, but not
Spain. Because, then, of various
hiatuses, and for other reasons which
will presently be indicated. the for
eign contingent is not on the whole i'm

The Coming ToDer

Oh why unwarrantably in this late day
Dost thou, Dark Turreteer, make light of lines
That rule against monotonies of time
To lie full long upon the souls emotions?
Clocks tick tick, took, drums beat rat-ta-ta-tap;
But who by rime may scale Mount Ararat1
Who by toe-rap meters running brooks,
Or heps the syncopatng bobonk?
Dost thou not know the language of the soul1
Hast never thrilled to pSans David sang?
And wouldst thou call them metcrcss because
They do not tramp like regiments at drill?
Thou hast grant allowed for Whitmans art;
But surlily, mcthought, who hates
To pay full tribute half-deities
Which had been whole had craftship held them thrall.
CAS- If I held the musics of Lancr,
Which roll sweet-scented discs along his Hymns,
Had truer been with less Of measured ease,
The finer for some gauohere Of rimeO
Instead Of limiting: Whitman does not count.
Or: Great men. If licentious still are free.
O that thou saidst: lis thus that prophets sing,
Io peacocks need not tune with chanteclere!
Then had I said: He knows the varied range
And wide extent of Natures many tunes
So he may initiate the least or best
And dcspise not signed insapience

Forbear bid, to lay thy stencil on
The unpent freedom of the hyacnth
Lest when Deliah Fate has cut and gone
The kids shall chalk thy fame paving plinth.
