JONES AT CHARLOTTE.

EVANQKLI8T LAST Sl'NDAY.
In the Language of theCharlotte

Town on the ltiuC-Scenes
Never Before Witnessed
in Chariot te-Tlie
Interest Unabated,
From morning till night, and after
nightfall, Sunday, this town was
in an unprecedentod stir. The idea
that this was to he a red-letter day of
Sam Jones' meetings pervaded the
air, and the tramp of thousands to
the Tabernacle kept the pavements
warm all day.
They came in the morning on the
regular and special trains; they came
by private conveyances, and they
came afoot. They were the people
from out of town. Charlotte people
didn't huvo to go so far, and they got
there all the quicker.
before the services were under
way, the tabernacle held as many
people as it could well hold, and not.
a few came away on account of the
crush."
KXTKACTS PROM HIS SKKMON.
"God's name and nature is love.
It as natural for God to love, us for
the sun to shine. The sun is no respecter
of objects. It's rays fall alike
on all. So Goil loves fh? menu.
est imin as much us Ho loves the
l>es(. He loves tlie most wicked sinner
in Charlotte, as much as the
best saint in Charlotte.
"Perhaps you want the Scriptural
I-say so-for that. Listen: A certain
man had a hundred sheep. Ninetynine
of them were in the fold, but
one was lost, lie did not say that
he would hold 011 to the ninety-nine
and let the one go; he said, the ninety
nine that were safe in the fold
eon Id take care of themselves, and
he went out after the one lost.
When he found the lost sheep did he
kick him, beat him or scold him?
He took him on his shoulder, and
carried him hack to tin* fold. Thats
the Biblo.
I can but love a Cod who loved
me when I was a poor sinner.
OOI) THK KATHKR ANJ) MOTHER.
Jesus Christ never died to make
Cod love us, hut because God loved
us. Christ did not dio to reconcile
Cod to man, hut to reconcile man to
God. Cod has no vials of wrath to
pour out. Cod is love, and nothing
hut love.
God is my father, and just as truly
He is my mother. It is glorious
to walk up to my Father Cod for
his counsel, but greater than this is
it to walk up to mj Motner uou.
How bad does a boy have to get before
mother quits loving him? A
mother follows her boy after every
friend has left him?she follows him
till he has delirium tremens?and to
the grave. When he dies, he dies
vjuth his head in his mother's lap.
And God will go farther than father
or mother.
CAN LOVK 8AVI<?
This is why some people say they
are "Universal ists." But can love
save? If love could save, no mother's
son would ever slugger to another
drunkard's grave. If love could
save, no wife's husband would ever
die on the gallows. Love cannot
save, but only sacrificial blood can
/fr?ave.
God will love us forever whether
we go to heaven or to hell. There
isn't a man in hell this minute that
God could keep out.

a matter op choice.
All this stuff about predestination
?so many chosen?I wouldn't have
an almanac with that stuff in it.
There ain't a man in hell but what
could have gone to heaven; and
there's no man in heaven but what
could have gone to hell* If you
don't believe that, you try it.
I have seen a little crowd sayiug
"we are the elect;" and if there's any
gang that's not elect, you are the
gang.
God will give us all a chance.
The final judgment is predicated on
that fact.
And the people are changing from
old doctrine, on that point. The
.. liU M
8M
c
churches are splitting up on it. {
The Methodists split off from the
Episcopal church, and got on the;
platform of "Whosoever will." The
I Cumberland* split off from the Presbyterians,
and almost got on the
i "Whosoever will." The Missionary
Baptists split off from the old HardI
shells, and jumped towards the
"Whosocuer will," but fell in the
j creek.

"God litis provided salvation for
every individual. Mod has given us
all a chance, and a chance that
' means heaven to every man of us.
"The storehouse of leve is the
| great heart of God. God is the father
and mother of all. A mother
will stick to a boy through every vicissitude
of life. Why? dust because
a little of the nature of God has
been poured into her soul. Then
how much more will the heart of;
God Himself stick to his children."
M A II III AO V. AND DIVORUK.
Mr. Jones spoke of the love of
man and wife for each other. Parents
should not pick out husbands
for thoir daughters, but a woman
should marry the man she loves.
Marriages for other reasons have
made many unhappy lives.
Speaking of divorce laws, he believed
every one of them had their
origin in hell. lie wanted to see
the day when "this twain shall be
one." "This twain shall be one,"
and yet man ami wife quarreling
with each other:?one quarrelling
with itself!
DRUNK KNNKSB.
I think a man "ought to be hung
when he gets drunk?he ought to
be hung in five minutes after the
first stagger. 1 think it is the great*
est crime a man ever committed to!
deliberately get drunk. Nobody but
an infernal fool will drink whiskey,
and nobody but an infernal scoundrel
will sell it. It is strange a man
will put an enemy in his mouth, to
steal away his brain.
When a man gets consent of his '
conscience to sell this stuff, he is below
the degradation of the brute.
Hut I don't blame them ns much as
you people who license them. Take
four characters?one makes it, one
sells it, one rents a house to sell it
in, and one dies drunk on it. How
can some of these go to hell and some 1
not?if that could be, there is 110 jus- J
tice in the skies. A more consummate
hypocrite don't walk the earth
than the church member who rents,
a house tosellthe stuff in. [A nuni-1
her of'Aniens.'] And the preacher
who keeps such a member in the
church ain't much better. Now I'm
cutting the grit whero it ought to be
cut. If I had such a member in my
church, I'd give him two minutes;
and a half to straighten the matter
up, and if he didn't, I'd kick him )
nn f
HIGH LIORNHE
And here you have "high license."
"High 1 icense!'' Suppose 1 had a
mad dog chained outside of a town, '
and should otter them a thousand
dollars to let rne turn him loose in
the streets. Suppose he should bite 1
the mayor's own son, and while he
was dying in the agonies of hydro- |
phobia, the man should turn to his
weeping wife and say, I know our
boy is dying a horrible death, but he
was bitten by a high-licensed dog!
The mad dog could kill only the body
the saloon can destroy soul and bodyTo
be poking whiskey down men
while we are trying to save them, is
an insult to the Holy (2host. If 1
were these saloon-keepers, I would
close up while we were trying to save
men's souls. And they are not as bad
as you old polecat of hell with your
fetid breath tainted with whiskey.
As long as you license the saloonkeepers,
I'll not stand here abusing
them. I have only the same objection
to them that I have to a louse,?
they make their living off the heads
of families. As long as we lie down
supinely and allow those'shackles to
be forged upon us, we should stop
singing that "this is tlx; land of the
free and tho home of the bravo."
There are moro liars and cowards to
the square inch in this country than
in any country on earth.
A ROUND OF APPLAU8K.
Kvory saloon sign is an insult to
the wives and mothers of this country.
You people of North Carolina
need waking up on this subject. * If
there is only one man in this conn-!
"l True to 1 w
ON WAY, S. P.,
try who will stand up for the wives
and mothers, by the grace of (Jod,
I'll be that man.
"I'd rather," said the preacher,
with indescribable emphasis ?"I'd
rut her bo a brave man in my grave
than a pusillanimous coward in the
pulpit!"
The sentence bad its effect like a
flash, and the words were scarcely (
out of the speaker's mouth before {
hundreds of hands in different parts 1
of the building clapped a chorus of 1
applause. '
I " 1 1
WHAT TO SHOOT AT. '
Looking toward the group of mill
is tors in front of the stand, Mr. ^
.tones told them to turn their guns 1
on whaf was in sight, and not to 1
shoot at what they couldn't see. '
You Baptists stop talking about \\a ' '
tor, and talk more about whiskey. 1
You 1'resbyterians, don't talk so
much about keeping on, and more '
about making a start toward (5od. 1
You good old Methodists stop talk- 1
ing about infants, and try the grown 1
folks.
Sonic of you sav, "Its nobody's M
business when I drink whiskey." It's 1
everybody's business who drinks
whiskey. If you drink whiskey, '
you are an infernal old fool. If '
what I say is true, you ought never 1
to drink another drop. If it's a lie, 11
you ought to cowhide me out of j J
town, but you'd better a full suit of '
mourning for your family when you 1
come. As for you little upstarts
that go around here drinking, there's 1
no future to you, you are already 1
vagabonds. 1
ABOUT TALKING IN ('IIA 1U.OTLE. j 1
1 know it's been whispered around '
here that Sam .Jones will not. talk in 1
v narioue as no lias talked elsewhere. I
lie careful, old fellow, your 1'ucle *
.Jones has heeu around Charlotte! 1
What is Charlotte? I could put it ; *
in my vest pocket, and wouldn't 1
know it was there except when I ^
felt for my toothpick.
Why, you haven't got a whole man 1
in town. There are lots of pieces,
hut they don't fit into each other.
And yet Sam Jones must be *
careful how he talks in Charlotte! |'
You may chop my head off, and , 1
bury mo on the hill-side, hut every *
clod that, falls on my grave will 1
* ibble, Here lies an honest man, ; '
who had the courage to tell you his '
convictions.
It, tickles me to see one of these 1
preachers walking around scared to 1
death because "two of the most prin- '
cipallcst families in town" are going '
to cpiit the church, or sonic old dea- '
con is mad, with one of his ears sticking
straight up, and fanning himself
with the other. i
There ain't a leading church in 1
the United States that would have '
me for a pastor, aud none of them I'd (
have. No board of deacons is going I (
to boss this boy. About the first J
thing I'd do I'd skin them rabbit i
fashion.

know its origin or its primitive sig- j
nilieanee, according to which it is a t
grand thing to say of a man, "He's a ''
hrick." The word used in its origi- d
nal intent implies all that is brave, k
patriotic and loyal. Plutarch, in his
life of Agesilaus, king of Sparta,
gives us the meaning of tho quaint
and familiar expression. On a certain
occasion an embassador from v
Kmpirus, on a diplomatic mission, a
was shown l>y the king over his cap- v
itnl. The ambassador knew of the ^
monarch's fame?knew that, thought
nominally only king of Sparta, he

on the following morning,
the king led his guest out upon the
