Special to The Georgtao. Carteravlllc, r,a, Oct. II.—Rev. George Stuart, of Cleveland, Tonn. who had been QBSlatlng Mr. Jones In evan gelistic work for the past sixteen years, offered one of the most fitting of tributes, to tho memory of his Oenr friend. He said: "We meet todey to represent a na tion in paying our lost tribute of love to him whose death has brought grief to the hearts of good people In over state In the union. There Is no sec tion In our great country that baa not heard his voice In the defense of the right, felt hts Influence for good. "For more than a quarter of a cen tury hs has been the most prominent preacher and lecturer on this conti nent. He has spoken to more people, led more men and women to Christ, brought about, more reforms In per sonal life and public morals than any man who has lived In the past hslf century. "That he was the greatest man on the platform In America was proven by the fact that he could draw more peo ple together, draw them oftaner, hold them longer and Influence "His power Is further provei fact that this Influence over the peo ple was not sporadic or spasmodic, but was constant throughout his career. "The places he had most frequently visited were the places where the est crowds assembled to hear him the longer he continued to speak In any community the larger the crowds grew and tho more anxiously they waited upon his ministry. The consensus of public opinion as ex pressed l>y tile it, tnn 1 preselu’e ..f the jieople to hear him speak In larger numbers than have ever heard any other man In America was a demon stration of bis poucr. Influence of Preis. "The public press keeps the keenest watch over tho prominent figures of our clvlllzntlnn. "More space has been given to Bam Jones and his work by both religious and secular press In the past ipiaiter of a rentury than to any man who has lived In ’Ihs count'-v. whether preach er. statesman, reformer or financier. "More spare has been given In the announcement --f hts death than Ims been given to nny mnn who has died In tho South In fifty years. This is one of the most significant fads that prove the wonderful power and Influ ence of this man of God." Mr. Stuart then reviewed the past sixteen years' work with the evangel ist and his personal observation of .Mr. es as a preacher, and .as a man. e said that he had been asked to tell the secret of this man's success, but there was no secret and no one, two or three elements of his character would bring the success attained and nothing but the rare combination of all Mr. Jones' traits of character would make greatness. >. Stuart reviewed at length nil the elements of Mr. Jonhs' personality that had been brought to his attention during their past work together and he had the most glorious gift sver bestowed upon a man—that of the bap tism of the Holy Spirit for service. In. closing Mr. Stuart said: “Hs Clung to Friends.” "He clung to His friends with a ten derness that was beautiful. I have heard him say time and again: 'God never made a man who feared Ms snsmles less and leaned stronger upon his friends than Sam J ones.' "His one great burning desire was that all his household might be con secrated to God and live devoted Christian lives.” FUNERAL ADDRESS OF WALT HOLCOMB Co-Worker of Sam Jones Pays Glow ing Tribute. Special to The Georgian. CarteravlUe, Oa., Oct. 1*.—An elo quent tribute wits paid the dead evnn gellst by the Bev. Walt Holcomb, for years a eo'worker of the Rev. Sam Jonea. Mr. Holcomb's eulogy was as follows: Perhaps not tn the history of the church of God has there been Just such on assembly os this. We meet here to day to do honor to a man who stood absolutely alone In the Christian world. This being true this ssrvlce will go down In history m one sep arate and distinct because of the unique and marvelous personality of the man to whom we this day pay our last tribute. With our hearts broken and spirits crushed the most appropriate words are those of our Savior to His sorrowing disciples 'Let not your hearts be troubled believe In God: believe also In Me. In My Father's house ere many mansions. If It were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, and If I go and prepare a place for you, 1 will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where a aril there ye may be also." Our distinguished end beloved broth er has Just slipped away to the man sion above. Jesus came to take him home. _ . , . _ Monday morning, on a Rock Inland train from Oklahoma City, we were aroused about ,* o'clock by the cry of hie daughter, Mrs. Pyron. saying: Oh, Mr. Holcomb, hurry to papa. 1 believe he Is dying." In a moment we were by hie side, but the fatal stroke had put an end- to nil that wasmortsl of our deceased brother. With both of his hands In mine and close to Ms Via ble heart, with his good wife and daughters and secretary by hls stde, he passed peacefully and quietly to hts reward. A quiet, calm repose flayed over-hls face, and we knew that its white soul had gone home. He Lived on the Train. , Brother Jones lived on the train mere than any other man. He loved railroads, steam engines, palace cars and beautiful Pullmans. He loved the railroad men. from the presidents to the humblest porter. Among the most beautiful Illustrations that he has ever used have been gathered from rail road scenes. Next to his home what place oculd he have died that would have been more homelike to him- The train had been standlng still nr»n hour or more, blockaded by a freight wreck. He had walked through the car several times and chatted p eas- antly with the porter. Hie faithful daughted was making him a cup of hot water when he suddenly collapsed. Perhaps God had the train to 'tend still long though tor ™s wsary, *'”2 servant to He down and die a lin ease and comfort. Not ""lY ^ld he love the railroad men, but they loved him with the tendereet affections. ... After his death we wired President J. W Thomas. *f the Nashville, Chatta nooga and St. I-outs Railway, for a train to bring his sacred remains home. Upon our arrival In Memphis w# found a special train at our disposal. All along the way men and women stood around the etatlons with bleeding hearts, moistened eyes and uncovered heads as the train went by. Nevsra train was pullsd more gently than ths one that brought Mm home. The rail road men alone the way met the train with their hearts crushed, offering sympathy, prayer and help. The crow-da Increasing as we nesredhome, until at last you who loved him best stood with uncovered heads to honor his homecoming. His Last Fight. Brother Jonea has said for years that he wanted 40 come home from the hardest fought battle of Ms life Just before going to Ms reward. Surely It was Oklahoma City that hs had the hardest hill to climb. In an Immense building, poorly prepared for the very disagreeable weather, he labored day and night without a murmur or com plaint. Finally, tired and-wsary, with his vitality low. we boarded the train i homeward bound. While **“ closing service, we left a few hours earlier than he had planned. While upon the train he seemed bright and cheerful and spoke of the victory that had come In the fight. Then he talked for quite a while with some traveling men about their becoming Christians and getting ready for a bet ter life beyond. Then going to the berth of hie devoted wife and sweet, faithful daughters he kissed them good night and left a fathtr'a blessing upon them, and then he went to the berth of a dying consumptive. Here beautiful little Incident which closes the charitable deeds of the last 13 years. He had heard that this young man. with his broken-hearted wife, were tn the chair car without money or friends. He Immediately called the Hillman conductor and had them oa- slgn the berth, paying the fare for them. Then he uttered the tost words that I ever heard him say. Stooping by ths berth He said: “I am sorry to see you suffering so. I am glad that we found you and got this comfortable bed for you. I hope you will sleep w-ell tonight. If you should need me don't fall to call me. I shall bo glad to serve you. I will see you In the morn ing and get your transportdtlon nt Memphis to your home at Fayette ville." Before reaching the city he had gone to City of God. Knowing his sympathy for the poor, I took some of the money that we found on Ms person to take him home, telling him that this completed the little act of love of Brother Jones. “The Noblest Spirit." While the essential of his greatness will b«. brought out by others,, I wish to say that to me he was not only the greatest orator that aver faced an American audience, but to my heart he was the cleanest, noblest and grandest spirit I ever knew. I never saw him do a small deed. I never heard him speak an unkind word, and never heard an uncharitable criticism. While his conviction of right and wrong was the strongest, his contempt for sham and hypocrisies the keenest, and his de termination to do the right the most Indomitable, yet he had the kindest, gentlest and most forgiving heart that ever throbbed In the boeom of man. He was as free from sensitiveness and Jealousy as an angel. While his ora tory was unlike other men, It will go down In history as the cleverest and most winsome and powerful of any living man. While others have moved audiences by their excited appeals, he In a quiet, conversational style broke men's hearts, stirred their consciences and moved their will as no other man has done. His wonderful Influence will tell In ages to come. The marvelous gifts of wit, humor and pathos were never more fully consecrated to God and served their purpose better than with Mm. There never was a day that he did not create smiles end drive away the burdens from the hearts of hie fel- lowmen. He started waves of laughter that encircled our nation. From gen eration to generation his.unique and matchless words will he handed down In private conversation. It will not re- ulre the printed page to preserve lem. They will be repeated again and again by those that are to llvt. His pathos was the rarest and subllmest ever given to man. It was never more In evidence than the last night he preached, In which he said how he would like to go to Heaven, If It should be God's wllL The entire audience wept like broken-hearted children That night's scene will never be for gotten. I feel that I have lost the truest, noblest and bast friend I ever had. To say I loved him expresses It mildly. God only knows how his love and In terest tn me arid my work has helped me and strengthened me thus far. His memory will ever be freeh In my mind, and 1 shall be better prepared for the days to come "by having been with him through "sunshine and ahowara.” May his great mantle fall on a thousand ministers of the gospel, and Ood grant that those of us here today may be In cluded In that number. God's richest, eweeteet and best blessings be upon hla precious wife and the children that were dearer to hi mthan life. Property Advances at Eatsnton. Special te The Georgian.
