REV SAM JONES PREACHED A POWERFUL SERMON
TO A LARGE AUDIENCE IN CARTERSVILLE SEPT. I4TH
CARTERSVILLE. Sept. 15.—An im
mense audience heard Rev. Sam P. Jones
preach at the tabernacle Sunday morn
ing. Before beginning his sermon, Mr.
Jones said:
“I have been silent for four days, now,
unable to stand on my feet and preach
the Gospel to you. I have in silence sa,
aside and stood aside and heard these
other men preach the Gospel of the Son
of God. and sometimes unable even to
come to the tabernacle. They would corr.t.
back and report of the sermons preached
by the faithful men of God, these earnest
Gospel songs which have winged their
way to the hearts of so many, and I am
so glad to day. whatever may be your
Impressions or your thoughts. I am so glau
this bright Sunday morning that God has
given me physical power and strength to
stand before you and preach the Gospel of
the Son of God one more time. I have
heard preaeners say: 'I look forward to
the time when I withdraw from the active
ministry and take the ease of old age.
but brethren. I want to say to you today,
the saadest hour that may ever come to
my life will be the hour when I realise
profoundly and truly that no more can I
stand up and preach the unsearchable
riches of Christ Jesus, my Lord.
“Happy with ir.y latest breath,
I may but gasp His name;
Preach Him to all and cry in death.
Behold! Behold; the Lamb.
'•I esteem It a God-given privilege that
I may stand before you today and preach
the Gospel of the Son of God. My eyes
may look upon this picture for the last
time in this world—l know not —but If it is
the last time, whfin you shall gather un
der this consecrated roof in the years to
come, remember that there is a silent volet
that once talked to you in love, that once
talked to you in reverence, a silent voice
that hau rather be here preaching the
Gospel of Jesus Christ than to be in
heaven, there with the angels of God en
joying all that heaven can give to the re
deemed soul. Pray for me today that God
may give me unusual power In getting
hold upon the hearts of the people and
leading them toward a better and a hap
pier life, and now let’s hear the Word of
the Lord. Everybody give attrition.”
Mr. Jones's text was Acts, 26th chapter,
12th to 18th verses, inclusive: “Whereupon
as I went to Damascus with authority ano
midday, O King, I saw in the way a light
from heaven, above the brightness of the
sun, shining round about me and them
which journeyed with me. And when we
were fallen to the earth, I heard a voice
speaking unto me and saying In the He
brew tongue, ‘daul, Saul, why persecutes!
thou me? It is hard for thee to kick
against the pricks.' And I said, ‘Who art
thou. Lord?’ And he said. ‘I am Jesus
whom thou persecutes!. But rise, and
stand upon thy feet, for I have appeared
unto thee for this purpose; to make thee
a minister and a witness both of these
things which thou hast seen, and of the
people and from the Gentiles unto whom I
now send thee to open their eyes, and to
turn them from darkness to light and from
the powef of Satan unto God, that they
may receive forgiveness of sins, and in
heritance among them which are sancti
fied oy faith that is in me."
Mr. Jones's sermon, in part, was as fol
lows:
“And now, brethren, we have before ils
today the experience of St. Paul given to
us clearly, succinctly. Not only his relig
ious experience, but his experience which
brought him unto the ministry of the Son
of God. St. Paul at the time he refers
to in this text, was on his way to Damas
cus with letters of arrest in his pocket,
with warrants that he might arrest both
men and women and cast them into pris
on. all who professed to know and lovt
the name of Jesus Christ, and he tells
us that on that mission, on a mission in
which he was perfectly honest, on a mis
sion in which he threw all the enthusiasm
of his great soul, and on this mission
there shone from above him a light great
er than the bright light of the sun. and he
with all the company with him, fell pros
trate to the earth, and a voice cried from
above and said: 'Saul, Saul, why perse
cutest thou me? it is hard for thee to
WHAT I LEARNED AT THE CAMP MEETING
BY SAM WILKES.
I was late arriving; at the grounds all
the seats in the tabernacle were filled,
so I strolled around to one side and
joined a party of "the settlement boys”
who were here and there gathered In little
knots talking. As I drew near they be
came silent and seemed to regard me with
sullen suspicion. I addressed them with
the remark: "How’s things with you,
gentlemen T’ one replied: "All right, how
do you do yourself?”
I gradually drew them Into conversa
tion and told them my latest joke at
which they heartily laughed and we were
henceforth fast friends.
I discovered they were waiting for one
"Idas’* Mullins and I judged from their
conversation he was a ruling spirit
amongst them. I expressed regret that
we could not get seats under the taber
nacle. All smiled and said they didn't
want no seats, they had come to be a
coming and all the gals looked like mas
on the platform singing and their preach
er wasn't there. The conversation drift
ed to the merits and demerits of their
horses and the latest dancing frolic at
Hodge Gothard's, where Lias Mullins had
give Jim Fossett a dollar not to play
"Rye straw” on his fiddle, just to worry
Ned Blackshear; and give Mandy Simp
son a pound of snuff to slight Tom Dobbs.
While they were thus speaking some one
said, "Yonder comes Lias now.”
On looking up I saw a horseman coming
at a rapid canter. He loped up close to
tb crowd, dismounted with a conse
quential flourish, tethered his horse to a
swinging limb of a tree, put his bridle
reins back ot his saddle. bowing his
horse's neck thereby, cut him about the
flanks, with a switch and said. “Yea, sir.”
His horse was a thin sorrel with two
white hinder feet, a long small tail and
very thin mane, a white face jand one
glass eye. His saddle was of the high
horn, raw hide variety with heavy leather
stirrups; his bridle was brown leather,
the brow band of which was wrapped
with red and yellow flannel and tied in a
bow knot at the headstall Just beneath
the horse’s ear and was pinned with a
large Terrell campaign button. He came
towards us and as he advanced I took
occasion to observe him closely. He was
rather tall and slender, his closely knit
frame was Indicative of great strength
and agility, his movements were quick
and decisive. His face indicated charac
ter; his eyes fun. He was welcomed by
his friends. I was introduced. He wore
rather heavy boots with very high heels
on each of which was strapped a brass
spur. He wore a light checked suit; his
shirt was a delicate blue flannel with
red embroiders - down the front pleats, a
turn down paper collar with a reversable
bow cravat, the color of striped stick
candy on which there was pinned a gauzy
looking metal fly, a straw hat with a red
speckled blue band about completed his
costume. At his vest he wore a heavy
brass watch chain from which dangled
a miniature green cucumber pickle of the
Hynds variety and a helpless small white
stone elephant with a brass rod through
its body.
He only glanced at the tabernacle. I
was requested to tell him my joke, which
he enjoyed. Lias’ Influence over his
friends was absolute and they looked up
on him in a spirit of love and admiration,
for which I could but admire him. He
then spoke to us as follows: "Well, boys,
you jest orter been with me er Friday

kick against the sharp pointed Instru
ments and the lash.’ St. Paul looked up
and said: 'Lord, who art thou?’ and the
voice answered back and said: *1 am Je
sus, whom thou persecutes!. But rise and
stand upon thy feet.’ "
Now. brethren. I want to say to you
that the attitude In which a lost world
ought to approach Christ is the attitude
of prostration—falling down before God.
And I tell you today, whatever this world
needs, it needs a standing Christianity,
it needs a world of Christians that stand
for righteousness, stand for truth, stand
for uprightness, stand for God, stand
against sin and stand against the devil.
I want to say to you, my countrymen,
I state a great fact when I say to this
audience today, that whenever the Meth
odists and Baptists and Presbyterians and
Episcopalians and Congregatlonalists and
Lutherans and Cumberlands and Catho
lics in America shall stand for this Chris
tianity, then every saloon shall have to
go, every gambling hell must hide itself
from the gate of men, every shameless
house must sink back where the dark
ness of night shall hide it from the face
of honest men forever, and when I say
to you—listen to me—when I say to. you
that when Christianity, the Christian peo
ple of America, shall take a stand for God
and sobriety and the right, then the pow
ers of darkness will give way, and we
will have a country in which it Is impos
sible for a drunken boy ever to stagger
home over the threshold and over the
heart of a good mother. We will have a
country where no husband or son will
be given to intemperance and to vice.
We will have a country where mothers
can look out into the distant states and
think of their boy and say: “Whatever
betides my boy, he is not a drunkard or a
gambler; I live In a country where char
acter Is protected, manhood Is developed
and God is honored.” And when Chris
tianity shall take a stand, a stand for the
right and a stand against the wrong, then
we are going to see America revolu
tionized into a country of Christians, who
not only profess but possess the power
to run the devil out of a community and
eninrone Christ not only in the hearts of
the people, but in the capltol at Wash
ington, on the supreme bench of every
state, in the governor’s chair and in the
municipal offices, and in the offices of the
clerks and bailiffs and sheriffs of the coun
ty where every office Is set In tune to
the praise of Christ and everyone shall
honor the faithful officials who stand for
God, righteousness and true holiness. The
fault of Christianity Iles In the fact that
Christian people do not stand for the prin
ciples of God and right. We profess it,
we approve it, we. sanction it. but there
is a great difference between the sanction
of truth and standing with the Indomita
ble manhood that says: ’ My hand, my
soul, my body stand for the thing I pro
fess. God Almighty, give us a Christianity
that stands for something and stands
against something. “Rise and stand upon
thy feet."
Now listen. "For this thing have I
appeared unto thee.” And now, brethren,
I want to say to you. that when Christ
shall appear to a man, then he will stand,
and until Christ shall ryake his appear
ance, we are naturally cowardly, natural
ly cowardly. Look at St. Peter, and I have
read the history as given In the Bible. St.
Peter had physical courage. Oh! my, he
was not afraid of mortal man, and listen
to me, and many a soldier—you old Rebels
that listen to me today—you havejjone to
the army and you have walked up Into the
blazing mouth of a cannon without the
quiver of a muscle, and then came home
to cower and wince and whine in the pres
ence of public opinion. It Is not the cour
age that faces the cannon, but It Is the
courage that says, I will do what God
calls me to do If I am the only man in the
world that will do it. Oh! brother, that’s
what we want. We go it in groups and
schools and squads and crowds. Whatev
er the crowd does we will do; whatever is
customary we will fall In line with. But,
Oh! God, how we need a Christianity that
looks at this old world and says: “Choose
you for yourself," but as for me if there
is only six men on earth that stand for
God and right I will be one of the six;
night at Squire Waldrlp’s over in the
Hickory Flat. He give a big log rolling
and a frolic at night, and his gals sent
me word to be shore to come to the frolic
es I didn’t get to the rollin', so me and
Babe Williams went. We got thar Jest
a little after dark and hitched our horses
in the scope of woods a>bove the house
and hid a bottle of corn under the side
of the house and went in. Everything
looked powerful nice and a big crowd
was thar—the Tippins gals from up on
the river, the Pugh gals, the Massey
gals from Bullocks barn and all the
folks in the Flat'. Old Squire Waldrlp
was glad to see us and we went round
and took one with him. Old Miss Wal
drlp and the gals was powerful busy a
fixln' the cookin’ and the table, and the
toys and gals was all a talkin’ and en
joying themselves. Ths four fiddlers was
a tunin’ up and Buck Bice and Jim Kitch
ens was ready to beat the straws and
Rufiin Crow was to do the callln. Pur
ty soon the dancin’ commenced and me
an’ Miss Mat Waldrip led off in the fust
set. Well, sir, it was fine. Everybody
was happy; the gals was all rigged out
in their best and the boys was all lively.
Between sets they dipped and talked and
laughed and got cool. About 11 o’clock
the fiddlers had just been out and had a
horn with me and Babe and had began
agin like new. Everybody it look like was
a dancin’ and it was shore hot. You could
a heard Rufiin callin’ a mile. When all
at once the gals commenced to sneeze and
cough an’ in a few minutes ever dancer
thar was about to sneeze thar heads off.
It got worse and worse; the fiddlers took
it, Rufiin got so he could hardly call
and everybody quit dancin’ 1 and com
menced fussln and sneezing and coughing,
an’ sech a mix-up I never seed; false hair
was a failin' on the floor from the gals
heads at every sneeze, and directly Susan
Latham jest sneezed her false teeth clean
out of her mouth and they fell on the
floor and Liza Holcomb she stepped on
um and broke um, so she couldn’t wear
um any more and Susan lowed she had
done it a purpose and they like to a fit
rite thar in spite of all we could do.
“Whilst this was a-goln’ on Squire Wal
drlp rushed in bare-headed, mad as a
bull. He looked at the table in the
tother room, saw them three fat ’pos
sums with er apple in thefb mouths, them
nice dishes full of boiled eggs, fried
chicken, lye hominy, and stacks of tater
custards all thar and nobody could eat
’em. Well, sir, he flew around and cussed
like a storm, everybody was a sneezin’
and a coughin’, and he got at it. He
swore and fumed and shucked his coat
thowed it in the middle of the floor and
swore he could whip any d—n man who
done his house that er way. Miles John
son tried to pacify him and he commenced
to cuss and it now looked like everybody
was goin* at it. The hounds begun to
bark and the chickens to cackle and me
and Babe made a slide fur our horses, an’
in goin' round the corner of the house
Babe knocked over a bee gum and they
seein’ the light flew in the window
amongst the folks, and the last we seed
was Squire Waldrlp’s bald head bobbin'
around, his arms flyin', slappln’ like ail
the rest at the bees. We Jumped in our
saddles and never stopped runnin’ fur four
miles. I haln't heard from it since. I
ain’t goin' into ‘The Flat’ for some time
to come.”
When we had all laughed and laughed at
his story, I ventured to ask him who he
If there Is only four I will one of the four;
if there Is two, God helping me, I will
stand with the other one; and if there Is
only one I claim it, I shall be one all my
life to stand alone for God and right-
Oh! how we need a Christianity like that.
You Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians,
and Episcopalians, when you get that sort
of Christianity and Bartow county knows
it, the question of saloons and dispensa
ries will never be spoken of except in a
whisper as the dirty gangs gather about
the jugs that are shipped to our town.
God Almighty give us a Christianity the
devil is afraid of; give us a Christianity
that makes the devil’s gang look on and
say: "Boys, don't tackle them, they will
clean you up off of the face of the earth."
Let’s drink it, and patronize our jugs, but
don’t ever mention saloons or dispensaries
for old Bartow county, for she has got a
Christianity that stands for God and
stands against saloons, dispensaries and
sin.”
There is not a one from President Roose
velt down to the little negro tot that
walks in my lot that don’t know how Sam
Jones stands upon all questions that bless
and curse and blight and help human life,
and I thank God for it. I sometimes think
the devil ought to get me for the way I
have done, but I want to live so that the
devil won't have me. Oh, my God, If I
ever walk across the crested waves of
damnation with its seething fires lapping
around me, as I stepped from one wave to
another I would tell them how I loved the
right, how I fought for It and stood by It
and championed it while I lived. And If
I shall go to hell at last, I will fight ev
erything that the devil approves and keep
up a commotion In hell while eternity
lasts. I am against it.
Hear me, my countrymen, today: “Rise
and stand upon your feet, and I will
make thee a minister, for I have appeared
unto thee for this purpose,” and I thank
God I have had a vision of the Christ,
He appeared unto me. The time was
when I was a pusillanimous coward. I
have fled when no man pursued. I have
taken to my heels when danger was not
nigh. I have skulked and hidden away a
thousand times, but since He appeared
unto me I bless God I have never shown
the white feather or run an inch. “And
•for this have I appeared unto thee.” Lis
ten, ‘for this purpose, tnat I make tbie a
minster.” Thank God for that. A minister,
i want to tell you, the greatest benefac
tion next to the Holy Ghost and the Di
vine Christ that God ever gave this world
is a faithful minister. The greatest bene
factor on the earth today is a faithful
minster. You may take all of your other
characters. You may talk about Clay
and Calhoun and Webster as the great
American statesmen; you can talk about
Roosevelt as the great president of the
people, you may talk about Kaiser Wil
liam as the unique personality of Eu
rope; you may talk about Queen Victoria
as the most renowned queen that ever
reigned, and they all go back into insig
nificance compared to the faithful minis
ter of the Son of God. Listen to me today,
if heaven were to come and bid me take
my choice, today I had rather be stand
ing right where I am with the witness
and with the soul and preach the gospel
as an humble minister of God than to be
Kaiser William of Germany, or Roose
velt of the United States. Bless God my
job lasts till I am dead, and there are no
assassins on my track, and when my job
is done down here then I will be a king
and a priest unto God and reign world
without end.
I thank God, brethren, that the earnest
preacher has the right of way now. There
have been times when they crucified them,
cut their heads off, and imprisoned them
and beat them, but I thank God today
that a minister that preaches the truth
has the right of way. Unfaithful as I
have been, I tharik God, from the old At
lantic on this slie to the Pacific over
there, and from the northern •boundaries
of Canada to the Southern climes of Gal
veston, I have gone torth preaching the
gospel. I have gone wherever I pleased,
I have stayed as long as I pleased when
I got there; I have said whatever I
pleased while I was there, and I have left
when I pleased, and I thank God a fel
low has the right of way if he has got
voted for for governor in the last election.
He looked at me in disgust, and said,
“Why, Joe Terrell, of eflurse. You see
that horse yonder. Well, his name is Sam
Maddox. I rode him night and day for a
week before the 'lection seein' the men in
our destrict and plnnin' Terrell buttons
on ’em, and on 'lection day the Terrell
votes fell just like dry leaves from a tree
in the fall of the year when the wind
blows. Gary and that Savannah fellow
warn't in it. Me and Joe’s good friends.
I’ve got his picture next to Sam Jones’.
We love Sam.’ I think more of him than
most anybody.”
I asked if he knew Mr. Terrell person
ally. He said he had seen him speak once
and had a letter Joe had writ him. and
he was going to keep it, and when Squire
Waldrlp’s time was out he was goin' to
git Joe to appint him agin, if Squire got
over his fight with them bees an’ the log
rollin'. He then said:
"Who is that Judge Candler, runnin’ for
office? Is he any kin to the governor?” 1
I said he was a cousin.
"Well, if he’s kin to old Allen we’re fur
him, ain’t we boys?”
All agreed. The services at the Taberna
cle was n6w concluded and I hastened to
join my friends. Later I saw Lias with a
pretty, black-eyed girl making their way
to the spring, and at the evening service
I saw him and some of his crowd on the
platform singing with a soulful enjoyment
that excited my admiration and respect.
They are all-round boys, they are.

had not helped me I never would have

have had the forces of hell arrayed
against me, and I have had the powers of

checked on through. God deliver us
from stagnation. Sensation is right on
towards God and a better life; stagna

deliver us from stagnation and give us
sensation—more life, more life. 'Oh my!
sometimes I go to hear a brother who has
no sensation, and when I get up ana

I have been preaching thirty years,
and I don’t believe I ever saw thirty peo

thirty years. I feed but I don’t lodge.
I run a religious restaurant but I never

ever a fellow goes to sleep when I am
preaching I know he has got softening of

“Lead them out from darkness intq

going to swap kings. Brethren, we are
going to swap emperors. We are going to
swap potentates. From under the power
of Satan unto God. And while I have
walked the streets of Cartersville with
the devil my master, my king, and doing
his bidding, to the wreck of my manhood
and to the ruin of my home, blessed be
God, thirty years ago this last August.
I swapped emperors, I swapped kings,
and I have from that day to this stood
in the Interest of my manhood, the honor
of my Savior and the salvation of the
human race. Swapped emperors. Breth

has never given me an order that I have
not gone to the front. I am afraid of
the devil. I know him, but I am
afraid of his cunning and power. He
might* get my boy, or might finally get
and damn a girl of my home. I am
afraid of him, I am afraid of him. But
if we could get every child of every
home to swap emperors, swap kings, and
come out with us on God's side, I believe
the devil would tell us good-bye and
go on back to hell. Swap emperors. The

WOMEN WHO WERE WARRIORS
Many Members of the Sex Have Fol
lowed the Profession of Arms.
Chicago Chronicle.
Women soldiers have not been as rare in
the history of the world as many people
suppose. There are many well authentica
ted instances of members of the sex serv
ing with distinction in the ranks of ar
mies, as well as in the list of officers.
One of the most remarkable women war
riors, says the Baltimore Sun, was Chris
tian Cavenaugh, who lived in England in
the nineteenth century. She was married
and had three children. Her husband was
carried off to Holland, where he had to
enlist as a private soldier. His wife dress
ed as a man and enlisted so as to be
near her husband. She was wounded at
the battle of Landen, made a prisoner by
the French and carried to St. Germaln-en-
Yaye, where she remained until she was
exchanged. Then she quarreled and
fought a duel with her sergeant and was
transferred to another regiment. Again
she was wounded at Ramillies, when her
secret was discovered. She was, however,
permitted to remain with the regiment as
a cook.
Many English officers recall the case of
"Dr. James Barry.” This woman served
in the British army about fifty years ago
as a surgeon at the Cape, at Malta and at
Barbados. At tne Cape, “he” fought a
duel with an officer, who had called “him”
a woman.
Mrs. Lindley, the wife of a soldier, went
through some of the sharpest engage
ments of the civil w - ar. She enlisted in
company D, Sixth Ohio cavalry, and
fought at Fort Magruder, Hanover court
house, Bull Run, Antietam and Boonsboro.
She is said to be still living and the moth
er of Several children.
Christiana, queen of Sweden, was edu
cated and dressed like a boy from her
birth because her father was disappointed
at not having a son. She was more a
king than a queen, and after four years
of rule resigned her crown and went off
to amuse herself in Europe. She was
dressed in men's clothes and acted as up
roanously as any man who ever owned
his clothes by right of sex. bne was only
28 at the time.
Kansas Girl In Politics.
Chicago Chronicle.
Miss Kate Beering, whose bewitching brown
eyes, oval face, dimpled chin and auburn hair
have won for her the title of queen of the
prairies, is pretty certain to be the next treas
urer of Morris county, Kansas. She is the
nominee of the Republican party and has been
Indorsed by the Democrats and Populists. She
Is 21 years of age. and a school teacher. Her
father is a poor carpenter. The convention
was- not in favor of nominating a woman until
they all had a good look at her. Her friends
asked she be allowed to speak. She addressed
the delegates in a clear, ringing voice, and by
the time she had spoken for half an hour they
were ready to nominate her by acclamation,
which they did.
The Populists held their convention a few
days later, and they, too, nominated her for
treasurer.
Concerning her nomination and the course she
will pursue when she is elected she raid: "I
will make a change in the management of the
funds of this county. In the first place the
money is loaned at too small a rate of Interest.
I will take In the loans as fast as they <«xplre
and place them with brokers whom I know in
New York and who will pay me at least 2 per
cent more than we are now getting. The coun
ty is in debt, too. and I will try to rid it of
these debts with the Income of the invested
funds. Taxes are too high here, I believe.
There is no need of road tax, as every man
should take enough Interest in the highways to
work them. Business has been carried on in
the county treasurer’s office in too sluggish
a manner. I am going to liven things up and
make everybody around there hustle. I .will
make a house to house canvass, whether there
Is any opposition or not, as I want to get
acquainted with the people.”
tified by faith which is in me.” Brethren,
bear with me for just a few personal
thoughts-and reflections now, won't you?
I am thinking more about the inheritance
today than ever in my life. It is said the
older we grow the more we look back.
It Is said old people live in the past. I
want to tell you it is not so much that
with me. I am getting along where I feel
some of the infirmities of old age, and I
feel tremendously the thirty years’ work
I have put in. In spite of all the devil’s
forces, for thirty years I have worked
almost withcfiit a vacation, and it seems
sometimes to me like my work is well
nigh done, and I want to tell you I am
thinking about the inheritance, the In
heritance. I think more about the things
ahead of me than I do about the things
behind me. I want to tell you I have had
many a victory for God and the right. I
have seen God's militant host march to
victory. But I want to tell you today I
look to the inheritance that is incorrupti
ble and undefiled, and that fadeth not
away. There is not a cloud, there is not
a mist. I wonder, I wonder, which one
of this audience, before we have gathered
here at another tabernacle meeting, will
enter into the host of saints above. Which
of us, brethren? If my tongue is silent
twelve months from today think of me,
think of me as having entered the inheri
tance that I am talking about today.
The inheritance. And what is it? I don’t
know. I don't know what that inheri
tance is. Paul told us, “Eye hath not
seen, ear hath not heard, neither hath it
entered into the heart of man the good
things God has in store for me.”
Little as you think of it, I have got
more friends in heaven today than I have
on earth. I have met and shaken hands
and prayed and sung with more people
who are in heaven today than I can meet
and shake hands with on this earth. An
inheritance that is incorruptible and unde
filed and fadeth not away. God make me
ready. I am just thinking about getting
ready for the inheritance. My, my, my,
when Sam Jones gets to heaven. Many
a fellow don’t think I will, but I will.
Oh! may God give us victory over
wrong and triumph In the right, and give
us a Christianity that will stand, and then
having fougtit to the end, let us look for
the inheritance. I don’t know what it is,
brother. I’ll tell you what I’m going to
do, I’m going to be mighty busy finding
out what it is when I get there. I will
be busy a while. I want to see some folks
up there about the first thing. Some folks
say we won’t know one another in hea
ven. It has been just now about 46 years
since I kissed my mother goodby, and you
tell me I wouldn’t know my mother. I
could shut my eyes and could know the
sound of mother’s voice in heaven. You
tell me I wouldn’t know my mother. I
know every ligament and lineament of
her face. Tell me I wouldn’t know mother.
Oh, brethren, I stood yonder in a little
cottage in Cartersville 80 years ago last
August, over the most trlumpnant death
bed I ever read of in my life. I saw my
father who had fought and fought the
dread disease until strength was all gone,
and In that hour of triumph he called me
up to his dying bed and said: “Son. my
poor wayward, wrecked and ruined boy,
you have broken the heart of the wife of
your bosom and brought me in sorrow to
my grave, will you promise your dying
father that you will give up your sins
and meet me in heaven?” I stood there
convulsed a moment, and then I grasped
his hand with a grip that meant all my
soul, and I said: "Yes, father, i make you
the pledge and I will die oy it.” And I
want to grip that hand again over yonder
and say: "Father, I kept my pledge and
here I am, redeemed by the same Christ
and In the same heaven.”
Boys, set your faces like steel today, and
say, I stand by God and the right. Broth
er, do It, live for <Jod and eternal life,
and hear me these concluding words, for I
htfve spoken too long today, I xnow It, but
my heart is in the sermon J have offered,
and I beg you go away to consider the
things that I have spoken to you.
