Tlie Most Sangruine Expectations of His Friends More Than Realized—The Grand To tal of Attendance Ful ly One Hundred and Eighty Thousand. THE STARTLED AND DISTURBED AT THE BEGINNING CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND CAME OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE EVANGELIST. The Closing Scenes, Testimonials and Speeches. Toronto Globe 28th inst.J Sam. Jones left Toronto yesterday morning. He had been here just three weeks, but was as well known to the peo ple of Toronto as if he had lived here for years. Although the tremendous amount of work he has done since arriv ing here has almost monopolised his time and prevented him from mixing socially with the church people of the city, many of the latter have nevertheless conceived a warm attachment for him. There is a strong personal magnetism about the man that prejudices one in bis favor from the start, and those who intended to dis like him, actually found themselves de fending his slang phrases and his bad grammar as soon as they had heard a ser mon or two. The meetings were a SUCCESS FROM THE FIRST day, though there were many who doubt ed that such would be the case. Of the twenty night services that have been held in the Mutual street rink there has not been one at which the congregation participating did not fill the great build ing to overflowing. The Rink holds at least four thousand people—five thous and have frequently listened to Sam. Jones inside its walls; and the evening meetings alone therefore have seen a total bulk of attendance of 80,000 at the lowest estimate. Sam. Jones has addressed the majority of these great evening meetings himself, but Sam. Small, his faithful fel low-worker, has acted as a substitute for him there on six or eight occasions, and Sam. Jones has then gone off to the Met ropolitan and addressed between two and t’lree thousand people there. In addi tion to the night services there have been between fifty and sixty others, held either in the Rink or at the Metropolitan Church, the average attendance at which has probably not been below two thous and, making another total of at least 100,000, which, added to the figures giv en above, makes the GRAND TOTAL OF ATTENDANCE at the meetings of the Georgia evangel ists about 180,000, or about one and a half times the whole population of the city. Of course this enormous figure in cludes many who attended several meet-" ings, but cannot include any who attend ed all, inasmuch as two meetings were frequently in progress simultaneously. At the lowest estimate, therefore, it is probable that fully three-fourths of the adult population of Toronto have listened to one or both the Sams. They bear away pleasant remembrance of Toronto, and they leave in Toronto a pleasant remembrance of themselves, aside from the great good they have ac complished. THE FAREWELL MEETING, To have seen the interior of the rink at the final service yesterday nobody would have thought it was being held in the hours of the early morning. A crowded evening meeting may be evidence of a good many things other than enthusiasm and zeal, but such can hardly he said of a gathering which necessitates leaving home soon after 8 o’clock in the morning. Considerably before 9 o’clock the Mutual Street Rink was packed full of people, the vast majority being ladies, and of these again a very large proportion being young people. The platform was as full as every other part of the great building. Rev. Dr. Potts presided as usual, and among the pastors supporting him were Revs. Hugh Johnson, (Secretary of the Executive Committee), Dr. Sutherland, E. A. Stafford, Dr. Stone, M. Benson, J. VanWyck, G. J. Bishop, Dr. Griffith, B. Longley, J. Hunt, J. W. Savage, S. J. Shorey, J, E. Dyer, J. M. Wilkinson, Dr. Shaw, J. M. Kerr, C, Langford, J. W. McCallum, R. Boyee, T. Milner, J. W. Jollitfe, T. Cullen, J. W. Barkwell, T. Woolsey, and others. Mr. Wm. Gooderham also sat on the platform near the chairman. The half hour between nine and half-past nine was spent in singing a number of spe cially popular hymns, for which jequests had been sent to Prof. Excell by indi viduals in the congregation and choir. The chairman then read several letters that had been received asking for special prayers from various people. Rev. E. A. Stafford mentioned the of a man who was of such drunken habits that a separation from his family had been arranged. Ho had been con verted as the result of a visit to the rink. Rev. Dr. Potts told of several contri butions which he had received. A poor woman sent her week’s wages, $lO, for Sam. Jones’ orphanage. Mr. Dalon con tributed S2O towards the testimonial to Messrs. Jones and Small. Mr. Gooder ham sent a sum of money, amount not named, to be divided between Messrs. Jones and Small and invested for the benefit of their wives. Then he had re ceived a five dollar hill for the orphan age, and two dollars for this morning’s collection. One from a Congregational minister. “I shall want a little bank if this thing goes on,” said the Doctor. Rev. S. J. Shorey and Rev. J. Van Wyck led the congregation in prayer, and Rev. Dr. Griffith read the Scripture. Rev. Dr. Potts announced that the Ex ecutive Committee would at the earliest possible moment publish a full statement of the receipts and expenditures in con nection with the meetings. Rev. Hugh Johnson, Secretary of the Executive Committee, presented a reso lution of congratulations and thanks to all of those who assisted in the meeting. REV. HUGH JOHNSON. In support of the resolution Mr. John son said he was both glad and sorry be cause of this hour. I am glad of the work that has been done. It has exceded our most sanguine expectations. lam sorry because this is a farewell meeting. I am sorry because thousands are only just now waking up to the fact that these good men are a tremendous power for good. There have been criticisms of this work, but all who have come near enough to see have recognized that it is a work of goodi Many at the beginning were startled and disturbed, but they have changed their minds and came over to our side. There is only one animal that has not the privilege of changing his mind. No fair-minded, earnest man has opposed the work, while tens of thousands of THE BEST PEOPLE all over the land united with us in spy ing, “God bless you.” In parting with our dear B other Jones whom I Darned to love in Chicago, i, seems like parting with a brother. 1 say this, there is not an honest heart amongst us who would not if he knew him feel as I feel, just like hugging him. As secretary of this work he wanted to thank Mr. J. W. Walker tor his assistance in keeping the list of names handed in at the meeting in a book. The workers were nearly all Methodists, but they h,.ve done a general work for the WHOLE OF THE CHURCHES. He would only like to voice the expres sion of a friend of his who gave S2OO to this work, which was—“ Brother Jones has set more people thinking on the sub ject of religion than any living man.” By the help of God they would continue this great work. He thanked the broth ers who had helped him in his church. Revs. William GxMierham, Manley Benson, Dr. Briggs, Dr. Dewant, Dr. Slone, J. E. Starr, E. A. Stafford, Dr. Sutherland and Dr. Potts all spoke in support of the resolution of thanks as well as in support of the following resolution of confidence: RESOLUTION OF CONFIDENCE. Moved by Rev. E. A. Stafford, second ed. by Rev. Dr. Sutherland, and resolved, “That in this last hour of our happy in tercourse for the present, with our brethren, the Reverends Samuel P. Jones and Samuel W. Small, we desire to assure them of our unab iteu confidence iu their work, and of the abiding affection with which we have learned to regard themselves. We are deeply grateful to Almighty God for so ordering their visit to this city, and so directing their earnest efforts that the result has been a wonderful quickening of religious interest in the community, and a public declaration on the part of hundreds and thousands of a purpose to lead anew life, and a handsome increase in the applications for membership with every branch of the Protestant Church in the eity. We would emphasize our sense of the effectiveness of their ministry because of their strict fidelity to the great evangel ical truths of the Gospel, driving sin home to its legitimate consequences, and defining clearly the line of separation between the Church and the world, and exalting the religious life high above the plane of mere feeling. In these respects the ministry has been made poweriul by an unfaltering conviction of the truth of what they have preached, and it will prove a sub stantial help to every man, earnestlv waging the teriible conflict against s If and sin and the subtle powers of dark ness. We cannot use too strong. lan guage in declaring to them the high sense we feel of the value of thmr labors; that we shall hold them in affectionate remembrance, and shall earnestly pi ay that the power of the Holy Ghost may rest upon them more abundantly in all their future ministry, and that in due time we may again have the privilege of being joined by them in this city in work for the Great Master whom we serve. In speakingon this resolution Rev. Dr. Stafford said: REV. E. A. STAFFORD. lam glad to be able to state to you that no other collection will be asked in relation to the last item in this resolu tion. A speaker had said that you wish ed t see Brother Maxwell leading choirs in heaven, f earnestly hope to gee* him leading choirs in heaven, and I pray that lie may lead choirs on earth tbr many years to come as efficiently as he had led the choirs here. I want to say some words in reference to Bro. Jones and Bro. Small. Before doing so L think it well to repeat what has been said by Bros. Jones and Small a good many times. We are bidding these good brethren good bye. We shall not look upon their faces for some time again. The blessed Gospel remains with us— churches with earnest, affectionate, and faithful pastors, and strong warm hearted membership iu Toronto — to as sist all desirous of pursuing the good way. I shall not attempt to characterize the man who hy patent shall henceforth be known as Sam Jones, I can only say that. IN ALL MY EXPERIENCE, having heard the Spurgeons, the Tal lin ages, the Beechers, and the Parkers, I have never met a man who could so thoroughly expose the dens of iniquity in the human soul as the Rev. Sam Jones has done. I have never before seen vast audiences swept and moved as they have been in this rink. I have never heard such tremendous indictments against the iniquities of the age that are reaching up their hands and trying to get into fellow ship with the Christain Church, as I heard from this platform from the lips of our beloved brethren. Our churches and pastors will for many a day feel their hands stronger by reason of those faithful denunciations. Some one says Bro. Jones is too much on reformation and too little on the Divine side. Well, Bro. Jones is A PECULIAR MAN. When he gets hold of a chain he seems to think h : s work is not done until he gets every link out. He not only wants to work until human nature is so con stituted that sin cannot possibly appear again. He not only wants national pro hibition, but a hrohibition by human nature itself, against the evils that de stroy mankind. (Applause.) But if any of you think Bro’her Jones is run ning too much on the human side, and running toward a Unitarian reforma'ion, put him up to preach “In Christ Jesus,” and if he does not exalt the glorious cross until the sky is no longer visible, they can’t understand human language. I have been specially associated with. BROTHER SMALL, and I want to say that scores of jieople have spoken to me again and again about the reviving effect and the abiding influ ence of his sermons. In those master pieces of classical oratory we have had a model set before us, the effect of which will not be lost for many a day. I bf lieve Sam. Small has captured Toronto. (Applause.) He wrote thousands of au tographs yesterday, and in order to com ply with many other requests for his au tograph, he has made <ne his power of attorney— (laughter)—"o give his su o graph to ten thousand people. I have engaged a young man to write those au tographs—(laughter)—and you will find him on a schooner in Lake Superior. I feel the solemnity of this farewell occa sion. My heart has been profoundly moved, not only this morning, but dur ing the progress of these services. I feel that l am a better man because of these meetings. I feel as if for years I have been going about the world looking for two of my brothers, and now that I have found them I shall not let them go out from my notice. I farewell with DEVOUT FEELINGS OF GRATITUDE to God for having brought these brethren here (applause),—with a feeling that we shall gladly welcome them again. God bless and keep you brethren. (Ap plause.) REV. DR SUTHERLAND. Rav. Dr. Sutherland seconded the res olution. He said: —I am profoundly grateful to God for the privilege of tak ing part in the services, and especially in this service this morning; and with all my heart I concur with the sentiments ot the resolution so appropriately and so earnestly moved by my good brother Stafford I don’t think anything needs to Le added to that resolution, and I would not take away a single sentence from it for the world. Now, I have had opportunity from time to time of enjoy ing these services and taking some in them, and amongst other things 1 have this feeling in me, and it is to thank God for a Gospel that’s got SOME BACKBONE IN IT, for during some of these meetings I could not help calling up in my memory a good deal of what passes under the name of evangelistic preaching that is the weakest, most mtlk-and-w itt ry sort of stuff that ever this world vvas blessed or cursed with —I don’t know which to gay. There seems to me to lie special need in this day of a Go*pel there is no diffi culty in understanding. It is possible for men to lose themselves in metaphysi cal delusions, and deceive themsehe with a vveak, mawKish, sentimental sort of stuff about religion, and otheis may be bewildered by the same; but there is no mistaking or misunderstanding a tmn who comes to you and looks you square ly in the eye and says, “Quit your mean ness and go to work’for the Lord”—(ap plause)—and, atter all, that’s the sum and substance ot our Gospel teaching. Thank Gcd for this earnest, direct and sound sort of teaching. Thank God we have had it. There’s more importance to be attached to this than many people think or understand. Look at it a min ute. A Gospel minus repentance; a faith without trust; a conversion with out information ; assurance of acceptance by God, by logic ra’her than the spirit! What could it all end In but ETERNITY WITHOUT HOPE? We have need to put these matters strong ly and plainly and explicitly, so tha' ev erybody can get bold of them. What will be the outcome of all these wonder ful gatherings; this great moving th o ighout the city, and the Province, and the Dominion. I am per-uaded of two things; first, that we will bear up two strong, earnest brethren by constant prayer for them that their work mly be successful wherever they may be, and that here in this city every man, woman, and child will unite to carry on, by God’s blessing, this work that has been so mar vellously begun. The resolution was carried by a stand ing vote, the entire congregation rising. Other ministers spoke and the REV. SAM. JONES then rose and said : Brethren, I have just five minutes left. I was wishing for them to go on for a little while longer so I could just say good-bye and be g me. But they have left me a few minutes, and I want to say just a few things. I assure you 1 have not made up my mind what 1 will say, but I have found out this much, a full heart in coaneetion with a tongue that can talk can always say something. My heart is full; my heart is full. About five years ago last June I came to your city. It was in the middle of June, I believe. I came here with my summer clo lies on and the first thing I had to do was to buy me a suite of winter clothes in the middle of June to keep me warm. I did not mingle with you as a people. My wife was with me, an invalid at that time, suffering intense ly. I did not mingle with you in the Sunday School gathering, the Inter national Convention, but I want to say to you, I came here this time in October, and the moral, and social, and religious influences have been such that I have needed no heavv suit to keep me warm while I am here in October. (Applause). I am glad in my heart I met Brother Johnson, secretary of this meeting, in Chicago. He came there A WARM HEARTED FELLOW, and he put hi? heart right down beside mine, and talked with me, and he told me, “We warn you ? n Toronto.” We discussed the matter, and I said we will try to be with you in October, and ac cording to the arrangements with me, worked up by those other brethren, I came here on the first of October, as you know. Three weeks ago to-night I came to this city. I wr.nt to say to you in these three weeks I have shaken hands with a great many people. I want to say to you some ot the most pleasing moments I have spent here at all have been at your orphan homes. God will honor a city that will take care of the orphan ones like you have done. I have b”en out 'o the Home for Incurables. Dr. Pott?, I believe, himself told me he had been President of that insiitution. I said: “Brother Potts if you get to the door arid they don’t let you into heaven because you are a preacher, or because vou are a Methodist, I think if you tell St. Peter you were President of that Home for Incurables he will take you in on these grounds (hear, hear), because l be lieve it i the most Christly work I have ever'seerT! ri7T'Ur?rrry , -thl? children, but how natural it is to push our old grey-headed fathers and friends to one side amid the roar of commerce, and the rushing of the engines, and the click of the telegraph in this country. It simply means, “Grey hairs get out of the way. Your days arc passed.” I want to say ot that Home of the Incurables, “God bless that ins’itution and susrain it.” (Ap plause). Your orphans’ homes, your public buildings, your public men, are AN HONOR TO ANY CITY in the world. lam glad to have been in this city to have seen these things. lam glad of the privilege of having preached in your Central Piisou. I went there Sunday morning and talked to the in mates of that prison, and they listened with tears, many of them, in their eyes. When I said, “All of you that would give your hearts to God and be good, stand up,” the whole of them stood right up. Who will dare to say their hearts were not touched? I want to say that the big gest rascal* in Canada are not in prison at all. (Laughter). They are going around loose. lam glad of the happy privilege of saying that your pris oners are kindly treated. The warden of that prison is a magnificent man, a warm-hearted, noble fellow’ he is. (Hear, hear). So far as I saw. it is as nett as most of the hotels I have stopped at in my rounds. I say to you all, “Y<u are hu mane tJ prisoners and the young and the old.” And I said to your warden. “Be sure and go to the Georgia Convention of the Prison Reform Association, be sure and go down. I want your voice scat tered around our Southern country. I want the counsel of a man that runs an institution like this.” Coming FROM PRISON TO PULPIT is a long leap, but I want to say of the preachers in this city I have met, that they are warm-heat ted, genial fellows. You will go a long way before yon find a cleverer set of men than the preachers in Toronto. I believe, however, above all things a pastor should be a man. 1 say I like a preacher who is a man and gets up close to men and knows men. Lord Jesus, let us preachers see that the higher we get in our pulpits the further we get away from our Bible and breth ren : the minister of the Lord let him live close to man as well as living close to God. The great wmrk of preachers is just to go around and WORRY PEOPLE INTO SALVATION. I tell you, brethren, if you let them alone the devil will get them. When you see a lazy muie tap him up and work him every way you can. Remember, God tells us preachers to preach the Gos pel and not defend it. He tells you to preach Christ and not try to prove that he is divine. Preach Heaven and don’t try to prove there is a Heaven. (Hear, hear.) I tell you brethren, preachers must make heaven and hell and the cross and all these things the starting point in stead of the objective point in their ser- moos. Thai’s it. I'm sorry for (lie preacher that has maOe out his case that Jesus Christ was a divine person, when lie ceases to preach. You see he ends where I begin. Brothers, Dm s rry tor the preacher at the end of an hour’s ser mon who has just proved that there is a heaven and a hell. I start out with thai proposition. What a waste ot time and blessed oppo'tunities and privileges to get to THK STARTING POINT. I never spent an hour of my life in the pulpit trying to prove there was a heaven ora hell, or that Christ was divine. The common conviction of humanity accepts these tilings as propositions. Let’s stand on them arid preach them. Another thing l want to say is this; I have met socially a great many members of your church, and the iiaest set of Christian workers I ever met are here in Toronto, (applause), and I want to say as to the great mass of the people that 1 have seen only one drunken man since I have been in this city, and that poor unfortuuate one I saw in my own room.- I am glad to be able to say that after three weeks mingling with the people in this city I have not seen a single drunken man on the sidewalks of the town, I have heard some oaihs, but they have been uttered invariably by what you would call third rate people; and I want to say to you that 1 shall tell the people of the United States that Toronto in Canada is nearer being on a dead level with the command ments and the Sermon on the Mount than any city 1 have ever seen in my life. Weil I tell you I’m very sort - }' to leave here. I feel in my heart that I could just live here forever and be happy among such a people. God bless you all, and your families, and your pastors, and I want to say a word to these news paper men. I like them all. A finer set of gentlemen 1 never mingled with. 1 have never seen any reporters more fair as to what has been going on, and I have never seen any dispositions on their part to make light of or do any injustice to anything that has transpired here. I just want tosay to you boys, IF THE DEVIL GETS ANY OF YOU after helping in these meetings like you have been, he’ll make you pay for it (ap plause), for he’ll be very mad with you l hope not one of you will ever live longer an irreligious life if you are do ing so, but will all give your heart to God and be religious. I should like to meet you in heaven aud t ilk to you about the reports of these meeiings. I believe the editors of the papers of this town are kindly disposed to religion, and I am glad of it. I thank all the editors for what they have said editorially in my be half. They have shown themselves fair minded men. I trust they’re all Chris tians. Now one more word. I warn you all in the future to rid yoursi Ives of ihisfeaiful curse of wili-key. The 240 barrooms in this city are so many fester ing sores upon your social life. You have all these orphans’ homes and homes for the friendless and incurable, but if you will put on, these festering sores from your sight, it won’t be long before you won’t need any orphans homes or any other homes or asylums. Any commu nity in this world can take care of itself if it will JUST KEEP SOBER. Now. I am not here in the interests of politics or parties. I only know Mayor Howland as a Christian m n, but I know r <iis—you won’t get a grander man In this city to fill the position than Mayor Howland. I believe he is one of the fin est Chri-tian characters I ever met wirh in my life. I have no interest in this matter. I say simply this, the officials of your town are but the objects JjcJWfi up on the surface of your body politic. Now look’ee here. The devil’s been running things long enough for him to take a back seat for a while. Don’t it look that way? I believe it will be done that way in Toronto, and then not only will Queen Victoria be Queen over your city, but God will be King. I want to say that I feel very grateful to you for your gener ous kindness. I reckon I should feel even more so if I had a bigger he irt than 1 have. I want to say that when Brolher Johnston wrote and asked me what 1 would charge to come here, I said, God helping me, I have money enough to buy A RETURN-TRIP TICKET there, and I’ll buy one, aud I did buy one, and I’ve got it now. I told him I would not make a contract. I never have and never will make a contract to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Soon er than do that I will starve and make out I died of typhoid fever. (Laughter.) That is a great deal of money, $2,500. That is to be divided among four of us, with families dependent on them. If I -7%fHseen afteF moii and liaVe'hlMS' a contract for five lectures and made $2,500, and I would have spent all the rest of the time at home. So you see that it is not chink that is running your uncle Jones. (Laughter.) I started out preaching the Gospel for S6O a year; and I thank God 1 preached the Gospel for a few years before anybody charged me with MERCENARY MOTIVES. I want to say this —that whatever money may .come to me over a living and the comforts of a home I shall try to use it to God’s glory. You cannot put a man where I am without there being great de mands on him. I could not get along without money in my work. It takes grit, grace, and greenbacks to run an evangelist. (Laughter.) I want to do all the good that I can, and when you help me beyond what I think is right for my family, the balance will help to do good to somebody else. Money shill never get in the way of my consecrating my life to God. (Applause) I never expect to love money better than I love God and souls. I don’t want to live to see the day when I shall. God help me to be faithful to my duty. A gentleman came to my room and pulled out a con tract with an opera company, to sing for $250 a week. He has got religion and was on his knees here the other night. Many a lawyer in this country not with a national reputation has made $25,000 in a single speech. And while you think we are geLiing immense pay JUST LOOK AT OUR DUTIES. With the profoundest gratitude I say I thank you for your kindness. You are a generous people. I think I shall pray for you morning, noon, and night for the rest of my days. God bless Toronto — and every man, woman, and child in it. You who started anew life go on; you who are Christians carry this work on. In conclusion let me say:—Religion is better and better to me. 1 am going to be faithful unto death. May God bless every pastor, and every church, and ev ery individual in this city, now and for ever. (Loud applause.) CARRYING ON THE WORK. In spite of the wet weather last night, the programme arranged by the execu tive committee for carrying on the work, and announced at Tuesday evening’s meeting, was carried out, and special re vival services were held in the ten lead ing Methodist churches of the city, un der the leadership of the different pas tors. Special reference w r as made in the prayers offered tor the welfare and con tinued successful wot k of the two evan gelists. Most of the services were well attended, and will oe continued every evening for several days. Public Opinion. [To the Editor of the Globe.] Sir—l am but expressing the feelings of thous ands of my fellow-citizens in thanking you for the faithful reports, given through your paper, of the services neld in the Mutual-street Rink. Though many have been the tirades of abuai NUMBER 40 made (through ignorance, it is hoped,) upon a work which God has greatly used and blessed; n ,. U ,? dau^ and aml ha ’ e it by sending the tidings of great joy” to those at a distance who would otherwise have been mi able to participate. For this, us one o mMy Twish to tender you my heartfelt thanks. A Christian’, Sir—lt would be amusing, if the interests of immortal souls were not at stake, to observe, how the devil blinds the eyes, hearts and understand ing of many men in Toronto against the aeeent ance of the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. The flimsiest blind we hare had yet is tliat Sant, Jones smokes. Sam. Jones ami his colleague have been hero now nearly three weeks, and daring tha' period the truth lias been presented in a fearless and loving wav to the vast audiences attending the services. Those who havetakon an active part in these services know that the Lord has wonderfully quickened and refreshed his own people and brought in many to the clear light. Now. the question in my mind is this: If Sam. Jones the snooker lias been so blessed in his labors amongst us how much more would God use him if he did not smoke. Let the men of Toronto wake up to the fact that Mr. Tones does not ask them to take himself into their hearts and homes, but the Lord Jesus Christ the Redeemer of a sin-cursed and suffering world. Ido not suppose when we all appenr before God there is a man in Toronto who would care to put up the plea that he re jected a loving and compassionate Saviour be cause Sam. Jones smoked. A Sinner Redeemed. Sir—l desire to thank you and express my gratitude to the publishers of The Glolie, and in doing sol also express the sentiment of thous ands of hearts throughout Ontario, for vour kindness in giving so accurately to your wide spread readers the thrilling and heart-search ing sermons preached in your city by the Revs. Sam. Jones and Sam. Small. God 'bless those men of God and give them great prosperity in saving souls. We in ihe country have to bo satisfied when wc cannot wait on their ministry to hear fiom them through the press, and so long as you devote a portion of your paper to the fiublishing of such good news as those evange ist have been proclaiming in your city, so long will the religious portion of the community in this Dominion acknowledge their indebtedness to you for the great privilege of reading those evangelists’ discourses. Hibernian. Erin, Ont., Oct2s. Sam. Jones’ Aphorisms. We are in no position to help or hurt the church until we are insideof it. The trouble with the church is that it is a vast hospital; it takes all the well ones to take care of the sick ones. You can help your preacher, instead of ever lastingly calling on your preacher to help you. Nobody ever went to sleep indifferent to relig ion and waked up in heaven, Tnere is nothing better in heaven than religion. • Our actions of to-day arc the thoughts of yos terday. If you live in impure thoughts you will be im pure in your lives. A truthful woman is the grandest adornment of a home. Secrets have ruined many a girl. I want I* see our young girls grow up better women than our mothers and wives are. A child is loved bv God, because it has no opinions and wants to learn something. The man who wifi break one of God’s com mandments habitually and continually, if you will turn him loose, will break them all. Profanity is more or less a profession of your loyalty to the devil. Many a man in this town is going to hell as a Sabbath-breaker, and goes about bragging the time what a good Sunday we have her Toronto. You show me a man who keeps the Sabbath day holy, and I’ll show you a man that’s a Chris tian all the week. Dishonesty in the church is really crippling the church more than anything else. It’s got so now that if you steal $5 they will put you in the gaol, but if you steal SIO,OOO they’ll call you colonel. I believe a blackleg gambler is a gentleman oeside a church member who speculates in stocks and futures. A church that can’t do anything but keep itself straight is a failure. I never heard yet of a committee asking for a preacher that is popular with God Almighty. It takes prayer, study and thought to get up a first-class sermon. It t ikes a first-class preacher and a first-class hearer to get up a first-class sermon. Find me a man preparing himself to henrJ4*fr gospel, and lean show you a man tiiat, is'goiinr to be benefltted by the gospel. It takes a cold pew to make a .o!<l pulpit. Run into Lea yon barefooted and bareheaded JsAtb ,, r Ufkn miss it on account of anything ia the world. Don’t get into anybody’s way with your natu ralness, but try to be yourself wherever you go. When a heart is chuck full of terror, there is no room in there for the truth. The infidelity that hurts is the infidelity of the man who makes out he’s ou God’s side, and then won’t live up. If we’re right we can’t be hurt by the truth, aud if we ain’t right wo ought to be hurt right eously. MANHOOD. Dr. Hawthorn in the Conflict.] Where there is true manhood, there is the ability to be virtuous and happy without material riches. There are some persons who are com pelled to do without wealth. They were born poor, as it was ordained from before the foundation of the wor'd should die poor. It is not a very conclu sive proof of virtue in such peisons that they are content with their poverty. It is no credit for a lazy good-tor-noth ing tramp, that be can say, “I am re signed to my poverty.” Of course he is resigned. There is not enough manhood in him '"Everyday we meet with strong healthy tnen, begging from house to house, who hope to commend themselves to charita ble people by pleading resignation to a life of beggary. The meanest and most hateful feature of their condition is that they are resigned. There is a broad dis tinction between such a resignation and that of the man who is content to subsist on charity because disease or war or something else has deprived him of the ability to support himself. All that wealth can do for a man is to make him comfortable, respectable and influential. But many men have made themselves comfortable, respectable and influential without wealth. We have in our mind two men, who at one period of their lives were lich. One of them was distinguished for his mental culture and Christian integrity. In los ing his fortune be did not lose respect for himself, or the respect of others. He was the same upright, genial, happy, kingly man in his adversity, that he had been in his piosperity. He was admired, honored, and loved by all who knew him. Only the shadow was lost. The substance was in him and could not be taken away. The other man, lived without virtue, without self-respect, without faith, and without God. When he lost his money he lost his all. There was nothing real and abiding within himself on whit h he could fall back for comfort and happiness, when his outward possessions were re moved. Goaded by the agony of despair he abandoned himself to a career of loath some dissipation. To-day he sleeps in a suicide’s grave. He is a fool who despises money; but he is a greater fool who suffers his res pectability and happiness to depend upon nothing but money. Money is a blessing only to those who know how to use it wisely. Money should be used to develop sources of strength and happiness within ourselves. We get the highest benefits from it when we make it serve us in the education of our tastes, and our hearts. He is the wise man who has used his riches in a**" way to make him independent of riches. He hs attained to the noblest manhood who carries in his own brain and heart treasures that would render him happy even in the deepest poverty.
