WHEN SAM JONES PRAYED
~ H'Not?d
Evangelist Once Brought Rich
Man to the Light.
All America knew Sam dopes1 as a
great evangelist, writes Marvin A.
Franklin in the Atlanta Journal. The
south especially knew and loved him
as a foe to evil and a eltympion of
righteousness. Georgia v;a& prOud to
own htm as her beloved and honored
son. But there are many who do not
know that he began his ministry as a
Methodist circuit rider on the Van
Wert circuit composed of Ave churches 1
in Polk, Paulding, Bartow and Floyd
counties. ~
Before the civil war, Van Wert was
a thriving little town, the capital of
Polk countv, with a nappy and contented'
people. It has the destinction
of being the first town in this entire :
section to have waterworks, the water |
being brought from a mountain spring
two or three miles distance through
bored logs. Van Wert was in the
pathway of Sherman's army and when
the northern troops had passed there
was little left save the "meeting house"
standing at the foot of the hill.
It was to this little town, fifty years
ago that Sam Jones came as the "new
preacher," fresh from his rehtarkahle J
conversion and in the glowing ep- j
thusiasm of his divine call to the ministry.
For three years ho threw him- j
self into the work and his evangelistic ;
gifts and powfcr were soon in evidence, j
for all over the circuit the revival i
fires began fairly to name, and whole
communities were literally transform- ;
ed. To this day, there are Christians,
loyal and true; in this section who dc- ,
light to tell that they were converted
and joined the church under the ministry
of Sam Jones. During the three
years he was pastor of the Van Wert
circuit more than five hundredvpeople
joined the church, and the ?i^cuit developed
from the poorest invthe conference
to one of the bfcst charges.
The Rich Man Wh^ Was Sick.
Many amustng incidents are related
about his ministry of those early
days. Mrs. Jones in her "Life and
Sayings of Sam P. Jones," tolls the
following which was typical of his
frankness in dealing with his members.
"One of our wealthiest members was
taken seriously ill. and thought that
he was going to die. tie sent for his
pastor to come around and pray with '
him. Mr. Jones called upon him, and '
when entering the sick chamber the
member said, 'I have sent for you to
pray for me!' ^ 'J
" 'Well,' said Mr. Jones, 'I don't see
any good reason for asking the Dord i
to heal you. If you can tell me any
reason why you should live, x u pray ,
for you; so far as I know you have ,

never done anything for the Lord that |
I can stand upon, while praying. You I
have paid absolutely nothing to the
assessments of the church; none of
the missionary money for home or foreign
cause has been paid by you; .the
stewards can't get anything out of you
toward my salary; my wife, children
and myself have needed the necessities
of life, and my horse has had
nothing to eat, and you have had an
abundance of everything in your home,
and feed in your barn, and could have
helped us; therefore, I don't see anything
to stand upon. There is no use
in my asking God to restore you; I
can ask him to forgive and save you,
and take you to heaven; but there is
no reason why I should as!; Him to
preserve your life; as you are absolutely
worthless to the cause!'

Mr. Cornelius McGillicudtly of

fortune.
" You are right,' replied the sick
man, there is no reason why I should
live, but I will make you a promise if
you can stand upon that.'
" Very well,' answered Mr. Jones,
'what is your promise?'
"The member said. '1 will see that
my assessment is paid in full, and that
you have the things that you need for
your table and horse.'
t "Mr. Jones knelt down and told the
Lord about the man's promise, saying
in his prayer: 'Lord, you know all
about him: he may deceive me, hut he
can't deceive you, and if he is going
to change his way, stand by your work,
forgive him. heal him, and save him!"

RUINED BY POISON. j
Boll Weevil Remedies Threaten Exter- j
mination of Bees. ,
One more evil to be laid at the door i
of the boll weevil is the responsibility i
for the destruction of the bee industry 1
in this section and the shortage of j
honey that this year threatens to 1
starve the remaining swarms of bees j
during the approaching winter, dc- 1
clares C. W. Creighton, Greenwood j
lieekeeper, relates the Greenwood In- i
dex-Journal. Other keepers of bees i
corroborate what Mr. Creighton says, i
and assert that bees are in danger of
extinction from boll weevil poisons. \
I'rnrtienllv no honcv has been ob- 1
tained this year by keepers of bees in
this section. It wns a bad honey year,
even if it bad not been for the poisoned
blossoms that were so fatal to the
working bees. First, it was too wet '
and then it was too dry for the nectar
to How. During Juno when bees are
supposed to reap a harvest of honey,
the deadly calcium arsenate killed the
workers as fast as they tasted the nectar.
No Danger of Poisoned Honey.
Although tho calcium arsenate wns
fatal to the bees there is no danger in
eating honey, if any honey can be obtained,
for it is pure and has no poison
in it. The honey gatherers drank
the poisoned nectar and died in the
fields, Mr. Creighton points out. The
workers in the eotton fields never got
hack to the hives with their burden of
nectar, and the honey that was made
was not gathered from poisoned plants.
Dees instinctively recognize plants
that are naturally poisonous, but they
fall victims to artificial poison. The
molasses and water mixture of calcium
arsenate is especially fatal to
i bees.
Highly Organized Workers.
A beb hive is a highly organized industrial
plant. The bees are divided
into groups that have certain tasks to
perform. One group does not encroach
on another's task.
"There is one squad that gathers the
nectar," Mr. Creighton explains. "Another
group works up the honey after
I it is placed in the cells. Still another
; group caps the cells. When the field
i workers go out to gather nectar and
ue\ <t reiurn, mat siops me industry
j in tlio "\vholo hive. The others begin
eating the honey already stored, and
when the supply is exhausted, they
must ho fed or they will starve.
"I shall have to feed my be?s this
I winter to keep them alive. Most of
the honey gatherers were killed in the
lipids and the young bees and the oth|
er workers have nothing to live on."
What Will Happen If Bees Die.
if all the bees are killed, what will
happen to those plants that depend on
bees for fertilization, is a question that
is puzzling students of nature here.
Many plants depend almost entirely on
j bees, going from one plant to another,
! to fertilize them. Without the agency j
of bees, the fruits and seeds of these i
plants will not mature, and the plants 1
themselves will shortly become ex-l
tltfct. . : i
The bee is of more importance than j
merely a honey maker. The bee is an
HELPING WAR BLIND.
Berlin Factory Is Seeking to Aid Sufferers.
One of the most practical and at the
same time, psychological solutions of
the problem of the "war blind," seems
to have been found by the SiemensHnlske
Works In Berlin, probably the
largest electro-technical concern in the
world.
This firm has Just celebrated its seventy-fifth
birthday. "Siemons City,"
as it is called, is accepted In every w^
as the model workingman's settlement.
It was In conformity with this policy
that the employes of thfc firm who
were called to the colors were promised
that thefr Jobs would be awaiting
them upon their return.
This nromise has been interpreted as I
, >
not only meaning the able bodied,
and those who sustained only slight
injuries should be put back on the J
payroll, but literally, the "lame, the f
halt and the blind," arc back in the
r
work rooms. ^
To the Siemens-Halske firm belongs ^
the crediting of creating an independ- I g
ent working sphere for a group of
blind workmen. A special work room
has been set apart for them where they H
are engaged in the product on of quan- *
tity articles.
As the visitor enters the "blind
wards," humming and throbbing with v
the noise of scores of electrically- r
driven machines, his eye is arrested by c
the unexpected presence of a herd of r
shepherd dogs, each of whom has his
place under the table of the particular
workman to whom he has been assign- 11
ed as "a guide. T
These animals have received a thor- r
ough course of training and have been r
warned specially of the dangers of elec- a
trical machines. Their intelligence is t
nothing short of astounding, and their s
presence here bespeaks the care and
thought that has been expended upon v
every phase of thid problem. c
As originally planned, the blind j
workmen were to be housed in a spe- t
cially constructed building in Siemen's ^
City, whereby the problem of trans- j
r

smallness is counteracted by his busy- s
ness. h

>ortntlon would be easily and efflcienty
solved. But economic conditions
lave so far interfered with the
ealization of this plan, and the
rusty canine guides must share with
.lie members of the men's famiille3 the
:e.sk of conducting them to and from
heir work. They are carried gratis on
he electric trams and 3ubways, and
is soon as they have entered the fac:ory
gates, pass over into the hands
>f the institution.
Everything possible has been done to
nsure the bodily safety of these men.
The machines are protected by strong
ron casings and adequate insulation
>y means of pads eliminates any dan;
rer of injuries about the head and face.
Ml the drills and.screws are carefully
ncafed by a protective apparatus
vhich can bo mounted and dismounted,
vith ease. The wormecrew and the
damping presses remain motionless
intil started by th$ workmen by
neons of a safety lever. That deep
isychological understanding also plays
i part in the treatment of those aflicted
men, is demonstrated by the
'act that their immediate co-workers
ire women instead of men.
This has been done to avoid even the
emblance of diminished efficiency, aB
vould have been the case had they
>ecn placed In direct competition with
ible-bodied men. The blind men, as a
vhole, accomplish more than their wonen
companions, and thus a feeling
if self-confidence and courage is creLted,
ading immeasurcably to their
general efficiency.
While the "blind ward" at the Slenens-Ha'lske
Works was not intended
rimarily as a marriage bureau, it has
levertheless, had this effect, and a
lumber of happy marriages have reulted
from this juxto-position >f the
ouchingly helpless men and their
ympathetlc women comrades.
The first Impulse to employ blinded
rorkmen in the -German factories

lerlin occulist, as early as 1916, but
he Slemens-Halskc firm was the first
>ig concern to put the Silex theories
nto practical application. The blind
nen in their workrooms have acquir
d an astounding degree of proficiency,
ome of them receiving as much as a
lundred marks an hour.
