Sam Jones and Talmage
Bam Jones is tho embodiment of an
audacity that sometimes conies very
near the border line of discourtesy. A
1 clergyman who often assists him in bis
series of meetings told me the other
day this story in the early LTslory of
Mr. Jones’ evangelistic work :
He was invited by Dr. Talmage to
hold a series of meetings. Mr. Jones
went to Dr. Talmage’s home during
the alternoon ol the day on which bis
engagement began and introduced
himself. Mr. Talmage looked him
1 over and was evidently taken aback at
the rather shabby appearance and dur
' ing the evening he said :
“Brother Jones, would you take it
[ amiss if I presented *’ou with a new
suit of clothes?”
i “Certainly not,” said the accommo
dating Samuel.
t He was taken to a clothier and fitted
from head to foot, topping all with a
high hat.
At church the doctor introduced
him as the Rev.'Samuel P. Jones, from
Georgia. Mr. Jones arose with his
new hat in hand and repealed : “Yes,
the Rev. Samuel P. Jones, from Geor
gia,” and added: “And this is the
new suit of clothes and this the new
bat your pastor has presented tome If
your pastor had as much of the grace
of God in his heart as he has pride he
would. Convert all Brooklyn, and would
not need me.”—January Homiletic
Review.
Fort Smith Storm Swept
The press dispatches give an ac
count of a fearful storm that swept
over Fort Smith, Ark , Wednesday
morning about 2 o’clock.
The storm passed through the cen
ter of the city, leaving everything in
destruction and flames. More than 50
lives were lost, and property valued at
more than a million dollars.
Dr. Cates, who, it will be remember
ed, was a partner of Dr. Cleveland in
the dentistry, had both arms broken ;
his wife was badly bruised, and his
mother was seriously crushed beneath
falling timbers

The Need of the Hour.
Men, we need men! Men who have
the moral courage to stand for all that
is good and pure and true. Men who
are ready to denounce, and aid in the
overthrow ol all that is evil and de
moralizing. Men whoso standing on
all issues pertaining to good morals
and obedience to law, and to tha moral
uplifting of the community, is known
unto all the people. Men whose lights
are not “hid under a bushel”; men up
on whom you can place your hand and
say, “Hero stands a man, an honest
man,” the noblest creature that God in
the prodigality of His power ever cre
ated ; a man whose fear is the fear to
do evil; a man whose backbone is
steel, who fears no man’s vengeance,
nor courts any man’s favor. We need
them in the churches, we need them
in official position, we need them in
business —everywhere we need them. —
