Tho remirhablo recceaolul retail* of yeeter-
day's uarvieea at tire "Sim Jones" tabernacle,
hu given increased encoursgoment and ro-
aewed nti to Christian irorkon
«nd other followers of the lowly
Nsrsrenc, tbs “Light of the World.’’ Ielooks
like s bstUe to the dssth now sirs enough,
with an ultimate tenoral triumph to this com'
munlty for the Croat.
Mr. Smell spoke of Judas Iscariot selling the
Saviour for thirty pieces of tllrer, end said
that there were many men who had told If 1m
for thirty cents sod lets than thirty cents,
snd gtvea a testimony against Him that was
fearfully calculated to hurt human souls
around about them. In discussing this tuh
jeet, the preacher drew some powerful picturei
of the cell that such men did. Some men
be raid, would aacrlflno everything that was
worth haring for gtln and graiillcilton of
pride and ambitlcn; for these they wouId sac-
rlfice the Interests 01 heme, the community,
rnoiality, religion and their own Immortal
aeuls, arid sell oat to degradation, death anl
hell. Ssld ha:
. “1 attended a meet login Atlanta last night;
a Hireling ora "conaarvaUva" association.
They were talking about fanatics down there,
end charged men who were endeavoring to
patoutofexlstonce forevertbe hellish Ihiuor
traffic, with being fanatics. They Jett had
the Ilitrg wrong, The worst fanatlat I have
seen In the past ten years were la that meet*

"The Idea of calling a combination like

Kev. Ham Hotel! preached again In the aftw
neon, and some of tha salient points undo In
Ihe sermon caused n sensation, and draw forth
brarty "omens" from tha congregation. Tha
ti at of Ihe sermon was:
"Here wa have no continuing elty, bat wo
•rekonotoeome.”
Tbo trend of tbo discussion was to estah*
llsh that onrcbaraelsrs and Mlf-alooted tnvl-
rcnminta In this Ufa pre-datermlne onr fit*
mm or unfitness for cltlienshlp In tire olty of

ud spedflcatlons of tho dhrino Architect, and
after tha model fttrnlshed by Him In the per*
son cl Bis holy Hon. Whether we will bo holy
aa He Is holy, or distort the divinity within
til into the deformity and degradation of a son
of perdition, la a question of choice devolved
open os by rtsaon of tho free moral agency wa

out of tha city.
"And lost bare," t«ld Mr. Small, "the time

ta certain that the great majority of onr peo

These sentiments mot with tho cordial re*
spoata of Marly assry one In tho largo eon-
girgalioa and sesmsd to strike a popular
ihrnd id the tempers ol tha people. Among
those who Ibtonid to tho outapokon demand
was Colonrl Pringle, the champion of tho
(moral local option act which named In tha
lost prnsral aosombly. It ta understood boro
that Bar. Horn Jonraloalao on this Una of da.

J«<d. It b probable that tha slogan thut sound-
rd wUl ha rwaaboad from ovary prahibltioa
camp in the state at an sovly day,
rat ot tha front gate without God to go
with him, and conld not risk him
self, even under tho moat favorable
circumstances, without the help
and gran of God. Ho had learned this fact
in tee fourteen years of hit religions life, to
have a gnat deal of sympathy fortboso who
do not do Ilka God wants them to do.
It la mnch easier for a man to ase tbs faults
of another than Itiito aaa their virtues; to
pick flaws In their characters than it is to
round offend help to make up a foil Christian
character, by kind deeds and words, and now
with n good understanding of the ways of the
hard and a perfect consecration of tb st war,
the mistakes of the peat may be rightad to
shins alovely Christian character in the fatnre.
Ha said that the greatest desire and
prayer of bit heart today and
for yean was that God
would unite tho people of OartanvUle, that
they would, under God, bo one people, oil
alike in one way and that their children after
them might follow In tho way, M they bad
followed In tho way of Christ.
Ho wss peifectly assured of the fact that
God made them and made him, and that gave
him tha assurance of another fact, that ifOid
mads him, He also surely know him and this
wss conpled on with tha preclons troth that
God loved him. Tho book he had opened be
fore him, (Iho Illhle,) wss the only book In
Iho world thstcan unify the race and make
thorn of one heart and one mind and one way.
Tha Bible Is a book of lostraotloos given
to men, snd if thry run and mars by that
book tbrre would be bettor days In Bartow
unity. In CartenvUle, In bis own and ovary
other family circle. Then wonld bo baiter
days Is low offices, In eonrthonws. In itorM.
In work shops, on farms, erery where. Bald him
"Ob, my God. today 1st the light of tby api
flash tho noth home, show us clearly how
may be a better and happier people." ...
Tho but way la to aay and do. "Now,
Lord, if you will show roo too way I will walk
in it. If )oa will teach me troth I will follow
It. The God that mailo humanity with nil of
tbo Intellectual, physical, moril and spiritual
ni tnir, who shaped It with Ilia own hand,
shaped and mado tha Bible. If a man would
learn himself, the first thing be should do
ought lo bo to overhaul himself by this book
<1 Instructions. In tho Bible man a book of
iustiuctlous before him by which he may out
himielf ill order, and that will indaad make
him an honor lo Christ and a blessing to.fjj
itco.
Bald he, "The meeting wa have la jGire
lirsvlllatoday was an fapoMlbllltv twelve
months ago. There was a lack of uolty sod a
lack of harmony In Cartenvllle nnd Bartow
county a year ago, which, thank God, has
been done away with, I trust forever. And
brethren, this world will novor know Christ
Inall Bis boaoty and the church In all Its
glory nntll God shall give the Christian world
too heart, a herrt that pulaates In sympathy
and in love to esfch other at mem-
bora of the ehuroh of Christ,
tad pnhataa la love and sympathy m tho
whole world aionnd ut, with Christian unity
and Christian love.”
Ha remembered in bis boyhood's days,
when looking back with tha oyo ol memory,
the controversions1 spirit of twenty flvo or
thirty yean agolnthe different denomina
tions, when they stood out In oil thslr die-
tlnctlvenoea and exclusiveness, bat "thank
God" said Mv. Jones, “nearly all of thasa
exclusive brethren have gona homo to Heaven,
nnd there art very fow todoyto disturb tho
nnity of the church of God who live on tho
fiM of (ho earth.”
•The most disgusting sight I ovoruawwas

"Fra risen years age I took a go id look at

"We want a gnat deal of sympathy for one
another. There are a great many people in
tkle world who feel like they hero no friends,
no ous te sympathise with them. Thera are
mmla Cartenvllle, who hare homes, that
Christian man. I expect, have not bean la rot
flvo yean, maybe ten years. Tha time hu
coma te Csrtanvflla when than Is no reason
why we ehonld net go Inta every home hero,
with lovo and symptthy. Whenever God
tells yen M straighten a thing rat, Ha Is over
•hero at work on Ue other feTlew; when Ihe
Lord telle yoa to do a thing, that mesas Ha te
over there at work oa tha oUev fellow.
"I believe tha beta kind of prayer was that
of Uo little bay who unaurrlfnlly wMppad lha
via ha ml drivlag te hit little cart, and was
. turn chastised by kb father. Tee little
fellow went into bb room, fell on hb knees,
snd preyed God to forgive him for tho way he
acted, end added: 'Ob, Lord, do help thegosu,
that they may not do so any more.’ That's tho
way to prey.
‘I sm going to straighten out, oh, lord, help
the other fellow to straighten out too*—that's
the way to settle it.”
1 will tell yon paatora, suppose we held a
meeting and call np onr dancing members and
card playing members, and owear them and
ask them on their oaths If
dot clog and cud playing will
help ut on onr way to heaven, make ns more
i fill lent ea Christians, make ue love Gol sad
cur neighbors more, end If they answer that
they do, then let nt adopt them In our reli
gious platform u the means of grace; but If
you don’t think them to he n help, let nt fall
into tho same way with Christian people and
live one way In righteousness. Let ut fell into
one plan, hot be rare yon fall into the beat plsn
for the glory of God nod the atlvatlon of
men.”
"J never have found but one way to be re-
llglons, end that le by religiou; 1 bore never
sound Lot one way to do right, nnd tost b to
doit.
I have never found bnt one way for a mau
to quit hit meanness, aad that b by qnlitiug
it. That's tbo only rnlo that a man can ruu
by.
Ton watch tome of them dancing cattle ea
they are about to dir; you'll tee they trill
rr ver wild for their dancing crowd to prsy fur
them. Yoo know one soother, yon little "Alp
gig*.’’ You ain’t worth the powder and abut
to kill yon, and you know It.
"1 uld to one ol the beet boye In Carters-
vHit; Yon have-bed a beautiful, eymettriesl,
I hriitlse character. Will you mur that char
acter end despoil one of the moat beautiful
Christian liven by going to a dance? ' I would
not mar such a Christina character—I would
nob do It.
"How many parents whohser my voice now
have lost control over yonr children, in the
renae when yon tell them not to do a thing,
and tbey tell yon they don’t care whether yon
llkoitorniit.
‘ I would rstherwe my children, and yo
n ey say they are the wont children in tow n
I hod rather ue them In their graves
■ban to see thorn the con-
slant aasucbtes . of some of yourr,
now what doyen? Thera era some oft hose
glib In Cartersvllle that are utterly disgrace
ful. and their perenb aro members of the
church. I don’t mean yonr children with
Iranis, bnt I mean those pin feather fellows,
and thry aro mining yon too. Yon can’t de
l-end on them for anything—yon don’t know
where they are or what thsy are doiog. Yen
rsn just hold them up between yourself and
the moon—you need not take tbo sunshine
fur it, end read the record of a miserable mb-
•pent Ufa if something ain't dona for them."
Now yon all may fell out with me, bnt God
hires yon that won't help yonr mtan children,
and they are going logoi worsened worn. It
b with lova and klcdneea I say IL If yon
heard people talk about yonrehUdren as I
have, yon would go home and cry your eyas
note 1 am going to lie my children and bloek
them before thsy shall ran with tha crowd.
Yon say If my ebildren don't go out tbay
wont get into society. Thera b many promising
marrlagcble fellows In Cartenvllle. Yon will
miss It If yon don’t get yonr danghtora In so
ciety. 1 say It toot use f believe IL
II year danghtora wen tifmany, the very next
day they wonld put on the bride’s or tho
groom’s father, and they would bo simply bur
dens. A luge proportion of the young men
of this town an of no account to themaalvea,
their perenb or tbalr country. I mean this,
and thinking people will agrao with me.
