Two Things About Jones.
1T has been wonderful" said DR..
Harris, ito see so many Of the same
people here night after night for four
weeks; people from every walk Of
liie-merchants and business men,
teachers and housewives, doctors and
lawyers, farmers and mechanics and
railroad men-have nightly attended
these services. l think everyone has
noticed. the increasing spirit Of earn
estness and there is an almost unan-
unity of opinion as to the value OF
these meetings.
@"I have known Mr.. Jones for %
years and this is the fourth time he
has assisted me in meetings of this
character, and there are two things
! about Jones that, | like; there is moth.
ing to fix up and no apologies are
necessary after he has gone. The
second thing l like about Mr.. Jones
IS tho fact that he says very little
about money and the finance is always
kept in the background: Up to the
present time he has asked for no
finances committee, but simply re-
quires that a brief statement be made
at this time and that IN opportunity
be given the people to make a thank
offering to his work"
StipuIases No Amount.
It was explained that envelopes
would be distributed containing a let,
ter Of explanation and all were urged
to bring in their Offering as soon as
possible and not put it off until the
last service. It is safe to say that
no evangelist ever. came to Bismarck
Jones. He makes no stated charge
for his months work. He pays the
travelling expenses of his entire party;
he pays for all the advertising matter
which has been freely distributed; he
pays the entire salary of the singer;
he furnishes hymn books free Of
charge and does not sell anything IN
connection with his meetings.
Therefore, the only requirement
that he makes of the towns whers
he labors is that he and his party be
entertained and that thank offer
ing be given at the close Of the meet
ings. In view of the liberal terms
and the heavy expenses borne BY Mr.
Jones, the people of Bismarck who
have turned out in such large mum
bers for one month should not fal!
to contribute generously and give an
Offering that will reflect credit upon
the work. An opportunity will be Civ
en- at each service from now on to
return the envelopes. In view of the
uncertainty of the weather, it is urged
that those desiring 10 make a thank
offering should do so as soon as pos
sible and not wait until the closing
service.
Pass Them All Up.
"Hec ven's gate swings on one
hinge" said Evangelist Jones last
night, in his appeal to the unsaved
land that hinge is your will. In the
years gone by the churches have split
hairs about Adams sin and who made
the devil, and where God came from
but the salvation of every man can
be simmered down to the three words
Of my text, Are you willing" don't
propose to allow Jonah and the whale
! or Noah and the ark, or hell and dam
nation, or anything else to stand in
your way; We will pass them all up
and come face to face with this one
| question; are you willing?
Only Requirement.
