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 Jones arose with his new hat in hand and repealed : “Yes, the Rev.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.
