From good authority we have it
that Sam Jones says there in not a
man in Nashville who is a christain
That every man that sr.cars will sieal
That 95 out of every 100 church mem
tiers are hypocrites. That liquor sell
ers are hotter tliaq church members.
Take it foi granted (which I do Hot)
that all,this is true what dues lie pro
pose to do about it? Or what does lie
expect to d > about it?. lie calls on
his udicmip (thor.srtnd.s of members a
heterogeneous ma ss of sinners) to sig
nilv their willingness to pray for a
revival by. iising to their feet; like a
Inrgc forest they nil rise tip. Pont Mr
Jones km vv a.ml don.t every obser
vant man know that by far the larger
part of these then had no idea of pray
ing for a revival? II Mr Jon.cs did
know that by his ability to control
he could cause them to tall a lie by
promising tb do a thing they had no
idea of doing he is no’ better than a
trickster. lie is doing uniter the
cloak of religion. What no honest
man, much less a christain, would
think of doing, viz; extort a promise,
stratcgetic methods, to do something
tliqv had no liitfetifioi'-'i of doing. One
object no doubt o! Mr. Jones is t<>
make money. lie says he needs
- I!recn* ! recn* backs as well as (irace llbr.ee
all tiny clap trap about standing up
and sitting down at tbe w>>rd ot com
mand until they are completely under
his control, and have no will they can
call their own, auil comes a sudden
command, it lakes green backs as well
as grace to run this thing. 1 want
voui money and that quick. What
is tbe dith-renco bet wren this and the
robli'.ub; word ot command: “your
money or your life”. The latter is
Hot od: graceful in one re peat, if re
qiiiiou daring end nerve to i-;aie the
robbers wo v J of command. 'I lie trick
stei’s eontemptible art is required in
the former ease. That good to the
church cm result from thi.. hnalhenish
piece of chicanery is impossible, if tho
chnr ,; !i is now flu j, ci - cent hypocrits.

No Mr Jones we dont hclcive a
word of your 95 per cent tale. We
had no* tho least doubt that too many
are in tho chinch for motives of woiM
iy nature, or to be in tbe fashion as
as did the majority of those who
stood lip to pray for a revival, but 1
know llieic are thousands of honest
.chrisltHiis (solar as human nature
will admit) in and out of the clmiclis
at Nashville. lam satisfied, too, Mr
Jones that hv far the greater poition of
the hypocrite in the church, are like
yourself in tho front ranks, and are
jutting i>ibu c HP hibei to Miami', and
are inducing others to stand

apy one who would deprive an “Amcviaan

of-'i t him his request; but still, if wo saw
fit and proper, we would answer him. Our
colors are: That wo cannot agree with the
writer of tho abovo communication, nor ac
cept and endorse his posrition. But wc can
not go into tho details of onr reasons and
points of difference.
\fr .fro felly persuaded that many of Sam
Jones’ saying.' Arc iarorroct,and believe that
they receive a more general jiublic endorse
ment and greater credit to which they
are entitled or morit. iT.-gc is sufiieient
and clear evidence that does, not
possess t’jo spirft, intcntiJu, and motives
that our co munioant ascribes to him. It
he were guilty of the charges, ho could not
do tho work ho is doing, or our country is in
an unconceivable dcploralylc condition, r-no.
Sam Jones ii tile servant and minister of
(tod, but not infaliable. IHs enemies has jut
words and expressions in bis mouth that lie
never uttered.' It very current that he
said that a man who wori.n swear would
stoal. If our memory serves us right, which
is corrobi rated by reason and a denial of th<
