A GREAT
5am Jones Preaches
Fifteen Thot
NO JEST,
Nor Flash of Humor,
Made Men and
Cautkkhvim.k, a., September 18.
?Fifteen thousand people thronged
the streots of Cartorsvillo and
crowds filled tho tabornaolo this
morning to hear Rev. Sam Jones
preaoh on tho dosing day of ono of
the greatest roligious revivals over
witnessed in this Stato.
Mr. Jonoe delivered ono of m thoso
masterful sonnons with which ho
moves thousands of human hearts to
tears. No joke, no Hash of humor,
no slang foil from his lips as ho hold
spoil-hound tho groat concourse of
pooplo for one hour and a quarter
with a llow of beautiful thoughts,
of good words and touching inci
dents. Tho Binilo which greets his
keen humor, when hie wit manifests
itself, gavo placo to tho sob and tear,
for women and hard men of tho
world wept like children as ho spoke.
"You think, oh I my God," ho ox
claimed in ono of his impassioned
bursts of pathos, "you think Sam
Jones is sailing in calm waters be
neath cloudless bluo skies. Oh, my
friends, you know not of tho fierce
fires that sometimes almost consumo
mo. Tho devil first tried to starve
me out, and I had not broad to put
into tho mouths of wifo and childron ;
ho tried to flatter mo with the adula
tion of the people j he tried to ma
lign me with tho tongue of scandal ;
he tried to buy mo while thousands
of dollars passed through my hands,
and now, oh my Fathor, Ho would
lay His hands on the beloved childron
of my heart."
"Fight him, Sam," cried out a
gray haired man in tho audience.
"Aye, until the bitter end," cried
out tho evangelist in words that
echoed in the wooded ravine below
the hill, while his form quivered and
the tears rolled down his cbcoks.
Women buried their faces in their
hands and wept and strong men woro
convulsed with sobs.
Whero was the Sam Jones of Hip
pant joke and merry mood, 1 won
dered.
TUR FLOW kjV HUMANITY.
Besides the regular passenger
trains with extra coaches, which were
crowded, thoro woro excursion trains
on both railroads from both direc
tions, containing from six to nino
coaches, and in none of them was
thoro scarcely standing room. Thou
sands of peoplo alighted from the
trains and either took carriages or
walked to the tabernacle.. For two
or three hours the principal streets
of Cp r tors villo woro a How of hu
manity.
Around tho tabernacle there wore
over two thousand carriages, buggies
and wagons and about three thou
sand horses. People bad ridden
into Gartersville for many miles and
woro camping in tho woods. Hun
dreds of them had arrived Saturday
night and camped out until morning,
and somo of them had been camping
there all the week?
In the great crowd were old wo
mon, who tottered as tboy walked,
young women in the Hush of beauty
and youth, old mon whose palsied
limbs trembled on the verge of tho
gravo, young men unto whom lifo
was as yet a promise of ambition,
and little children toddled at thoir
father's knee or slumbered upon thoir
mother's breast.
Before tho sermon there was a
song and music service. Led by
Prof. John Ilillis the choir of 800
voices sang several revival hymns.
Mrs. Annie Jones Graham and Miss
Allie MoK wen por for med on two
pianos. Prof. Ilillis sang a solo,
"Loved by Grace." Mr. Frank
Boland, of Atlanta, gavo a solo on
tho violin. A quartet, composed of
Prcf. Ilillis, Mr. h. It. Gilreath, Mrs.
A. B. Ounyus and Mrs. George R.
Stuart sang "Ever bo Faithful."
Mr. Jones bado all tho visitors to
Cartcrsvillo a hoarty welcome? The
rovi val had lasted eight days and at
oaoh of tho throo daily services the
tabornaolo had been crowded.
With ovory soat taken, with poo
plo sitting down in tho aislos upon
tho straw, with thousands standing
up and thousands going regretfully
away, tho groat ovangolist bogan his
discourse which brought toars to tho
oyes of many who had oomo to laugh.
SERMON.
to a Congregation of
isand People.
[OR SLANG,
but a Discourse That
Women Weep.
TUB OBKAT SBBMON IN FUlil..
Mr. Jones solcoted aa his to*t tho
following from tho third ohaptor,
tenth vorso, of Philippinns :
"That I might Unow him and tho
power of his rosutreotion and tho
fellowship of his sufferings, being
mado conformablo unto His death."
Iiis sormon was as follows :
"Wo have in tho toxt tho aspira
tions and tho supremo desire breathed
forth of tho greatest man in all his
tory, for when I look at this man
Saul of Tarsus, St. Paul tho divine,
from tho standpoint of glorious,
grand manhood, 1 can scarcely find
his peer in all history. St. Paul was
groat lu the three essentials of groat
ncss. He was first great in head?
be had a cloar, strong, vigorous mind
that sought truth in all of its rela
tions ; a man with every faculty in
porfeot harmony with every other
faculty, perception, conception, me
mory, judgment, reason, imagina
tion, and every faculty of his great
mind in as full play as the machinery
of a locomotivo engine And thon
he had a groat heart, pouring his
sympathies like the gush of a river
through ovcry avenue of his groat
mind : and then ho was great in
tho other essential of greatness?
ho was great in achievement. Ho
had accomplished something in tho
world in which he had lived.
The more a man knows and tho
moro a man feels and the moro a
man docs, tho greater is that man in
tho sight of God and the angels ; and
St. Paul was great in these three
essentials. With a mind vigorous
and strong, with a heart broad
onough to take in a universe, and
with muscles and blood and mind
and body vigorously at work from
sunup to sundown every day, mak
ing tho world better, no wonder ho
could say, as his eyes swopt tho past,
have fought the good light, I have
finished my course, I have kept the
faith. Henceforth thore is laid up
for mo a crown of righteousness
which tho Lord, tho righteous judge,
will give to me in that day ; and not
unto me only, but unto all them that,
love His appearing.'
"When a great man like that
stands up and breathes out the
supremo desire of his soul, his
supreme wish, I am going to hoar
what that desire is. St. Paul ex
pressed his supremo desire in the
words of our text to-day.
"In the first words of tho text ho
says, 'That I might know.' Breth
ren, thore never was a day so dark
in tho ages of tho past when men
who wero men were not groping out
after God. There never was a day
when man looked at himself and his
surroundings and environments and
"looked upward without wanting to
know something of tho groat oternal
God. Ho wants to gel closer to God
and to know moro of God. In the
darkest history of this world human
ity has been anxious along theso
lines. As wo go back down tho
vista of time about "1,000 yoars we
seo humanity groping in tho dark
ness, despairing in tho wilderness
and tho byways of earth, lost to God,
lost to higher knowledge, lost to
pride; and as they thus grappled
with environment and groped in the
darkness tbero was a day when all
humanity gathered together in ono
seething mass of ignorance, of sinful
men and women, and in that great
seething raultitudo tho supreme wish
was to sco God, and they all
looked up as ono man and cried : 'Oh,
God, dost thou live and reign! Dost
thou govern ?non ? Oh, God, speak I
Let us know that thou dost livo. Lot
us know tbat wo aro not orphans,
.wandering through this world lost
to time and chanee.' And as they
looked in the darkness above thorn
a voico shouted out of tho clouds say
ing : ?I am 1' And thoy caught it up
with glad refrain and said : 'Our
Father lives and reigns above us.
We aro not orphans lost to timo
and chance Glory to Theo, oh God
And so humanity lived for a thou
sand yoars longor satisfied with this
rovolation, but tho day cimo whon
tho childron of mon, again groping
in tho darkness and despair, said to
thomsolvus: 'Wo will gathor again
M " ' - 1
! and ory out to our God and boo if
I Ho still lives and roigns abovo ub,'
and tbo groat multitude of human
boings gathorod again and looked up
into tho darkness of tho olouds
and oried to know if God etili
live? and roigaed ; and as they
opened thoir oare, from tho darknoss
above them a voioo shouted baok
and said : ? am that J. am,' and they
oried exultantly : 'Glory to His name.
Ho has spoken to us moro than Ho
did to our fathers before Ut\ He
still lives and reigns I' Thank, God
that in tho darkest ages of this world
! thoy havo hoard the voioo of God
and felt the pulsation of His great,
loving, fatherly heart. You may
say what you please, tho obildron of
a groat King oannot bo satisfied long
with suppression. Ob, my ! how wo
havo pined away hero in Carters
villo ; how wo havo hung our heart*
upon tho willows ; how wo havo said
to oaoh other as wo mot ono anothor
on the street, 'Has God forgotten
us? Havo the days of good timo
and righteous onjoymont passed
away from us V And we grew
anxious and gathorod up bore
in 1 hie old iuueruaoio and
cried unto God and ho has
spoken to us in words ot sympathy
and kindnoss and pardon and to-day
wo start out with fresh courage to
light lifo's battles, to go through life's
pilgrimage and to wear a orown in
tho bright and beautiful world
beyond. Thank God for evory impe
tus we got toward heaven ; thank
God for overy impulso that makes us
lovo God moro and lovo mon more.
Thank God that ho has cvor made a
track in Cartorsvillc, and that Ho has
spoken to us in words of sympathy
and love?to us, the wayward chil
dren of men. Blessed bo God, amid
all our sinfulnoss and our follies and
our waywardness, ho has put his
arms around us and spoken to us
from His loving heart and told us
that whenever our fathers and
mothers forsake us Ho will tako ub
up.
IF YOU WOULD KNOW OIIKIST.
"Hut the world grow restless again
and tho timo came in thoir Uvob
when they must know more of God,
and just in tho fulness of timo, when
humanity was most expectant and
oager, tho Lord Jesus Christ stood
forth among men and they grouped
about Him, and directly ono in the
multitude said, *Ho quiet now, Ho is
going to spoak.' And I toll you,
brethren, the groatest day this old
world ever saw was when the Lord
Jesus Christ opened His lips and be
gan to talk to His brethren and to tell
us the things that the world was dying
to know and to impart unto us the
knowledge that would make us wiso
unto salvation. If I would know
who Christ is and what Christ is 1
would go to His own lips and learn
the lesson. You may talk about the
historio Christ who was born
of tho Virgin Alary; who suf
fered under Pontius Pilato ; who
was oruoifiod ; who died and rose
again ; but that is tho moro repeat
ing of history in its occurrences
among tho children of men. If you
would know Christ you should not
go to the man who has written tho
best lifo of Christ, and ponder among
the pages of bis work, nor study Him
in His miraculous power, or in tho
hieroglyphics of tho past, or in tbo
streets of Jerusalem ; you should go
to His own lips and learn of him.
Some men study tho miraoles of
Christ and say, How could ho do
works like that? It is a very super
flcial mind that staggors thoro. My
friend, do you wonder and stagger
and turn into infidelity when you
seo my divino Lord healing tho sick
woman and restoring sight to tbo
blind? Do you wonder at that?
Como with mo a littlo further and
lot's sit down and listen to Christ
talk?wonderful words of life. Every
wold that Jesus ovor uttered fairly
glistens and glimmers and burns
under tbo presonco of tbo meaning
in it. But if you think His
works arc wonderful and 1 ?b
words are wondorful, I toll
you you will cease to wonder at His
works and words if you will stop up
and put your heart against tho heart
of Christ and your forehead against
tho forehead of Christ and think like
Christ thought. Thon you will say,
'These works and thoso words are
but tbo mere bubblos on tho groat
ocean of a lifo liko this.' What
humanity needs abovo all is to crawl
up with its hoart of sin and sorrow
and 'my liw heart noxt to the hoart
of Christ and lovo like Christ loved
and feel liko Cbriftt- felli, and havo
tho thoughts of Christ infused into
its mind, and thon, indeed, v/ill all
theso things unravol thoir problems
nnd mountains will molt away and
rivers will givo baok and ocGans
will ooaee to be barriers, and wo
will walk and run, and blossod bo
God, whoro thoro aro chasms wo will
mount as on wings and fly along,
and with our minds infusod with tho
thoughts of Christ wo will bogin to
think of bottor things.

wo could hold Him up, and Ho has
said 'If I bo liftod up I will draw all
mon to me.' Oh, brother in
the ministry of Jcbub Christ,
are you holding Him up as
an indwelling, abiding Saviour
in our own souls? But listen. Ho
opened His mouth, and as Ho oponed
Ilia mouth tho groat multitude was
Btillcd. They looked and listened.
And Jobos said, am,' and thoy
caught it up and said, 'Our fathcrB
hoard that shouted from tho skies
thousands of years ago. Ho is going
to flood tho wholo subject with light.
'Listen,1 and Jesus spoke and said, 1
am tho way.' Oh, what an announce
ment to an old, sinful world that
h?d groped in tho Wilderness for four
thousand years. At last it in
awakened to lind tho way to God,
tho way to truth, tho way to hoavon.
Thank God thai tho day over oamo
into this world whon humanity had
a way out of Bin, a way out of folly,
a M ay out of weakness, a way from
boll, a way that leaks to tho poarly
gatos on high.
"And Jesus said furthor, am tho
truth.' I am sorry I ovor told a lio in
my lifo. I am sorry there is a liar in
this country. I am sorry that tho
fathor of liars, tho dovil himself, has
ovor made a track in my town or in
my Stato or in my country or b my
world. Blessed bo God, if tho truth
makes a man freo you oan turn mo
Ioobo and got out of tho way and
thoro aro no mountains that oan stop
mo, no rivors that oan oheok mo and
no ocean that can drown mo. Many
timos I have had men to ask mo if I
was not afraid to stand up and say
things as I do, but, brothor, I am
trying to preach tho truth, ' and as
long as innn proaohes the truth
tho truth can tako oaro o?
itsolf and tho man both at tho
same time. Talkiug about boing
a free man, if getting drunk
and raking up dovilment is to ho a
free man, then I want to stay in jail
all my life. Liborty is tho privilege
of doing right. Lioonso tneane you
can do wrong if you will pay tho
penalty. That is tho difforonoo bo
tweon liborty and law. Look at old
John Bunynn. Thoy thought ihoy
had him a prisoner and looked up,
but ho got hie parchment gathered
togothor and wroto his Pilgrim's
Progress' down tboro in that dun
goon and when tho last pego M'as
finished God Almighty mado tho
doors fly open, and old Bunynn has
boon flying around tho world for
four hundred yoars. Put ambii liko
that-in jail? Bloss your soul, bro
thor, tho Lord was just fattening him
up for a raoo. Ho was just whetting
him up for a lout? journey.
"God Almighty never failod a man.
Wo fail ono anothor and depoivo each
Other, but God nover fails us. God
novor made a fish with fins until ho
mado an ocean to put him in. God
novor mado a bird with wings until
ho made an atmosphere for it to fly
in, and God novor planted tho in
stincts of lifo immortal in our soul
until Ho had built a heaven for our
souls to dwoll in.
"And JeBue also said: am tho
