Say* H© Crawled Out From Under th© Dogs Nineteen Year* Ago—He Think* the Farmer*' Alliance Will Never Get There. Laughter and Applau*©. / Sam Jones, the Goorgia revivalist, is not annihilated by any means, as some folks imagine. In the language of Sam Small, Sam Jones continues to he “a holy terror to evil doers.” Here Is his last sermon, according to the New York Sun, delivered last Sunday at Staten Island: It was 3:30 o’clock when Sam Jonos swung himself to tho front of the plat form and began his sermon. His text was, "For God so loved tho world that He gave Ills only begotten Son that who soever belleveth In Him should not perish, but have ovcrlastlng life.” Among other things he said: “The fashionable minister is without sympathy. He says to tho members of his congregation, ‘If you believe as I bo- lieve, you will be saved; if you don’tyou will be damned; and I don’t care much which,’ There is many a man that takes a disordered liver for a pure heart. It makes me sad to hear a man say he’s an Infidel. I’d rather ho tho lowest down chaingang nigger, or wbito man in a penitentiary for stealing than bo an open, avowed infidel. I’d even rather be the lowest Wall street thief than an infidel. Old Bob Ingersoll can make his $200 and $300 a night out of it, but I never did understand one of these little fools that will chase around alter him and pay $1 to hear him speak and board themselves. I’m as full of faults as any mau, but when I get home my dog Hero greets me by wagging his tail and lick ing my hands. He is glad to sco me back, and ho loves me. Why ? Be cause I treat him kindly. Think how good God has been to you, and yet you don’t love him in return. "Now, listen to me, you great big sin ners back there. You are lower thau a dog. Get out from under the dogs and be a man. I crawled out from under the dogs nineteen years ago, and I said, ‘Good-bye dogs.’ I did a good thing for myself. It reminds mo of that old question ‘Are you married, or aro you a dog?’ I say arc you a Christian or are you a dog? When a fellow’s plumb down and yon ask him what he wants, he says ‘help.’ That word means every thing. I know as well as I know that I’m living that I never can make the sort of a husband that I want my wife to have, unless God helps me. "When you pray God to help you, there should be the pledge in return: •I’ll help you. I’ll help you. I’ll help you by working, voting and sinking my last dollar to get whisky out of the country.’ "I was addressing a largo meoting down in Mississippi tho other day, and there were a lot of farmers’ alliance men present. I said to thorn: ‘You never will got there. Every timo tho democrats and tho republicans act the rascal toward you, you play tho fool.’ I say the same to tho prohibitionist. There Is only one way to get whisky ort of tho country, and that is to voto it out. There aro thousands of 304-day prohibitionists in New York; but on the 305th day, which is olectlon day, they don’t show up. I’m a prohibition ist every day; and if there is only one prohibition vote cast in 1S92, you can say Sam Jones is voting. And if I’m alive fifty years from now, and thero is only one prohibition voto cast, yon can say ‘That’s Jonos voting still.’ “When I die, thank God, I won’t have to change my politics. I'm a concentra ted, consolidated, double-dyed prohibi tionist, now and forovor. “I don’t boliovo in towing tho good ship Eton ton miles out from shore and then standing ou deck and shouting, ’Say, all you sinners on shore that can swim, como aboard.’ I boliovo in sym pathy and help, and In running the good ship right up to the shore and helping aboard the men who can’t swim. That’s my Christianity. If ever a collego jumps on mo and tries to doctor my divinity, I’ll sue ’em for damages. There’s noth ing tho matter with my divinity. It’s all right. Thero ore the D. D.’s. What docs that mean? II it stands for Devil Driver, then I’m your man. If it stands for Devil’s Dues, then I’m out. If it’s Dovil Driver, tbeu give us more D. D.’s. “Wo want a lovo that is sympathetic. There was the old Christian who was sit ting by the roadside eating his dinnor from a pail. Along camo a dirty old tramp and said, ‘Give mo something to eat; I'm starving.’ Tho old Christian cut from tho top of his loaf of bread a very thin slice and gave it to the tramp, saying, ‘Our Father in heaven, bless this bread.’ “ ‘Did you say our Father?’ asked the tramp. “ ‘Yes,’ said tho Christian. “ ‘Then if it’s our Father,’ replied the tramp, ‘we are brothers, and you cut mo a thicker slice of that bread, quick.’ “After I was pardoned and crawled out from under tho dogs I felt real good. Then I said to myself. 'Here you'll die and get into Heaven, but you’ll have to stay in the back alloys. You can’t come up on the front streets and in the best places.’ Then I began to see what God’s love really meant, and I knew that I could." Sam Jones sat on one of tho upper piazzas of the Prohibition Park Hotel after his sermon and swung his black broad-brim felt hat and talked. “What is tho alliance doing in tho south ?” asked one of the group around him. “My sympathies are with tho alliance,” said Sam Jones, “but it is not going to work in the right way. At present it is simply a protest against the existing state of affairs, just as the labor unions arc protests.” "Is there any political significance to this series of prohibition meetings ?” “Not at present. We aro not here to talk politics. We are talking prohibi tion. If we aro going to accomplish anything permanent we must enter politics, howover. Everybody knows that wo can do nothing with the repub lican or democratic party on tho lines of prohibition. Tholr candidates are select ed with an eye to the liquor voto. Our only hopo is to stick together and voto for our principles.” Pensive and Expensive. Many a woman shrinks from consult ing a physician about functional do- rangements and weakness, and prefers to suffer in silvneo. She is sad ami pen sive, and her neglect of her ailments will prove expensive. It may cost her her life. Ono of the most skillful phy sicians of tho day, who lias had a vast oxpcricnco iu curing diseases peculiar to women, lias prepared a remedy which is of inestimable aid to tliflm. We refer to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the only remedy for women's peculiar weak nesses and ailments, sold by druggists under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfac tion in every case, or monoy refunded. No sane man would prolong his life forever, but at tho samo time he would rather die to-morrow than to-day. Not a Miracle, Now. Until rccontly consumption was con sidered incurable, but now peoplo are beginning to realizo that the disease is not incurable. Tho euro of consumption is not a miracle, now. Dr. Pierce’s Gol den Medical Discovery will cure it, if taken in time and given a fair trial. The world-renowned remedy will not mako new lungs, but it will restoro diseased ones to a healthy state when other means have failed. Thousands gratofully tes tify to this. It is the most potont tonic or strength restorer, alterative, or blood cleanser and nutritive, or llcsh builder, known to medical scieuco. For weak lungs, spitting of blood, “livor com- laint,” and dyspepsia, or indigestion, It an uncqtialed remedy. Beauty is the first gift nature gives to woman and the first she takes from her. Have we any truly great men at the present day? .Some doubt it, and ask to ho shown the modern Washington, Franklin or Webster. However this may be, of one thing we are sure, there nover was a greater blood purifier than Ayers' Sarsaparilla. Half of the world doesn’t want the other half to know how it lives. “THE ALHAMBRA” NO LONGER THE NAME OF OUR NEW HOTEL. A New Name to be Chosen—Everybody Can Brinjf Forward a Favorite Name— Some thing Unique, and Appropriate, and Beautiful Wanted. The board of directors of the Ameri cus Manufacturing and Improvement Company has voted to chango tho name of Americus’ great hostclrie. Tho roason for this is that tho name solectod some time ago does not strike a popular chord, and does not satisfy fully tno tasteB of the gentlemen who adopted it. While tho name “Alhambra” was originally one wholly appropriate, by reason of its beauty and historical asso ciations, for the name of an elegant hotel, it is well understood that of late this name has been adopted by places of “llash” or “sliady” reputations, espe cially in tho United States, and now, by reason of such association, has become somewhat "loud” and hardly suitablo for an elegaat and first-class hotel. After carefully considering it for some time, tho board, at its last meeting, unanimously concluded to drop tho name of "Tho Alhambra;” and their action will no doubt meet tho approval of tho public, whether pecuniarily in terested as stockholders or otherwise. The board lias not, however, dono any thing towards the selection of another name beyond an informal discussion, during which various suggestions were made; among which were those o f having the stockholders to voto by shares; leaving tho selection of a new name to the ladies; letting a eommittco of the board decide on it; taking a popular voto of the city, etc., etc. The board of directors is now open to suggestions from any quarter;' and will act carefully and with duo consideration, being determined that when the name is finally selected it will be the very best that tile consensus of the competent can devise. It will be remembered that before the name was selected Tue Times-Rkcordeb quoted quite a number of suggestions from various citizens; and as the sugges tions then mado virtually cover the ground, it is hardly too much to say that from among the names heretofore mentioned in The Times-Recoiider, a selection is very likely to bo made. Everybody who over tried it knows how hard it is to name a baby, even when there aro only a few persons to bo pleased; and tho board has no easy task in naming the Americus baby; for scores of persons are interested; and the board wants to select a name as nearly satis factory as possible to everybody whose interest in the property, or good judg ment in matters of nomenclature, are entitled to consideration. While tho board is not “advertising for bids,” it might not be out of order for the public to make suggestions in a modest spirit; and to all such tho columns of The Times-Recordei: aro open. Let’s hear from the public; it will give us all some thing to talk about for the next few days, and somebody might stumble upon a happy hit that will be just what the board is looking for. Much injury is dono by the use of ir ritating, griping compounds taken as purgatives. In Ayer’s pills, tho pallont has a mild but eiTeotivo cathartic, that can be confidently recommended alike for tho most delicato patients, as well as the most robust. Letter List.
