(From The Jeffersonian.) / "That was bad about Sam Jones, wasn’t it?” he asked, meaning, of course, the sudden death of the great evangelist on a railway car. No, it was not bad. It was, in many respects, an ideal departure from this terrible world. He had lived his brightest day, had done his best work—and he fell in the midst of his renown, before the benumbing murmur began to buzz in his ears, “He is not what he once was.” He had just closed a great series of religious meetings. For days and days he had been doing the Master’s work, living face to face with the Most High. Not lectur ing for money; No! Preaching the Gospel of the good life, of the sal vation free for all. With the benediction on his lips, he passed away. With a prayer in his soul, his great heart ceased to throb. Like the soldier who falls in the battle line, after he has fought a good fight and won the field, so fell Sam Jones. Bad? No, by the splendor of God! It was a glorious death, a beautiful death, an enviable death. The night before he was killed Ccesar heard his companions dis cussing the question of what kind of death was most to be desired. He was busy with affairs of state, but he paused in his work to ex press his opinion of the death which was most to be desired— "That which is least expected.” Next day he got it. Think of what was spared to Sam Jones. There was no heart rending torture of protracted pain. There was no dreary martyrdom of bed-ridden sickness. The wife of his youth was at his side; the in of heaven if the stroke of paralysis which struck down William H. Crawford at the height of his fame and powers, had stretched him dead? What did it leave of the greatest of Georgians but a broken mind in a broken body? Ah, give me that beautiful death which saves me from the unutter able miseries of senility and decay. God knows there’s little enough in life, even at its best; but the crudest weakness which nature curses us with is the timorous clinging to Life when there’s noth ing left to live for. Marlborough in his dotage—too melancholy to contemplate! Dean Swift a driveller and a show—the mind recoils, from the spectacle. , Sir Walter Scott still trying to write when albtho force and fire and creative genius were gone— pitiful to the last degree. Napoleon in captivity, fat to un- wieldliness, querulous, vainly beat ing his brokert wings against the bars of his cage, garrulously hold ing forth upon the glories of his past—it is too sad for words. Bet ter. a thousand times better, had he died at Waterloo with his face to the front—spur on heel, blade in hand. Mozart died beautifully—while they chanted the Requiem which marked the high-tide of his genius. Mirabeau died grandly—while he still stood in the midst of the French people, an Atlas bearing Social Order upon his back. William Pitt died enviably—in the prime of his strength, while still the uncrowned monarch of Great Brittain nal trembled in fear, smug respec tability saw its shortcomings, sham Christians forgot to be self-com placent, social hypocrites fell upon their knees, and the miser opened his purse. I met Sam Jones in 1879, when he was poor and unknown. He came, unheralded, to conduct a re vival in our town. I heard him preach a few times, recognized a genius, and predicted his renown. His wonderful career, afterwards, was no surprise to me. Since that day in 1879 when vve took each other by the hand—two poor and unknown young men—I have been his admirer, his friend, ever glory ing in his rise. Yet in all our passing to and fro, wc met but twice in the subsequent twenty seven years, and then for a moment, only. Now and then we hailed each other from a distance, through the newspapers, but we met no more. He moved in his orbit, I in' mine, and each had his work to do. And now his is done, and well done. . * He was the greatest Georgian this generation has known; the greatest, in some respects, that any generation has known. “Duty is the snblimest word in the language,” said Robert E. Lee, himself the flower of Anglo- Saxon manhood. That Sam Jones fell at the post of sacred Duty—died with the Master’s*, message to erring man fiesh upon his lips—seems to me beautifully fitting, superbly ap propriate. Once he said,touchingly, "When all grows dark and doubtful—hu- NEWNAN MARBLE WORKS J. E. ZACHARY, Proprietor. Manufacturer and Dealer in all kinds of marble and granite.
