Shortly after 7 o'clock last night the
doors of Hit ! exposition building were
thrown open aril tin people began to
Hock in. The announcement ( hat Srun
Jcnns would spi-nk to "men only" aroused
In the breasts of many a curiosity to
hear what ho had to say. This curiosity
was , in many quarters , not unmmgled
with the belief tlint thu great revivalist
would iniiko a spicy talk on subjects
which could not fail to be of interest.
After n few Bonus Mr. .luplin an
nounced thnt a collection would be taken
up. llefore the ushers started to pass
about the hiitH , Mr. 1' . C. Iliiiiebnugh
talked to the audience for
a minulo or two. " ( Jontlumcn , "
ho said , "this is glorious to see t-o many
men hero to-night. 1 remcml > i > r when
llrotlier Hitler talked in the building hint
year , to an audience of men only. 1
to say that the good Words of advlco
wlncli fell from tlint man's lips would
have been worth a million dollars lo his
hearers if they had been followed out.
I believed that if thu words which Mr.
Jones is to speak to-night are taken right
home that this city will lu$10,000 ) ahead.
And now 1 want you to subscribe liber
ally. I hopu you'll subscribe sf.100. "
After the collection has been taken up ,
moro hinginirfollowcd and then Mr. Jones
commenced his discourse , as follows :
"We Invite the attention , and wo trust
the praycrlul attention of many of you ,
to thcHo words : "Hseapo for thy life. "
This is a wonderful book from which we
Ret our text. It goes back to the begin-
nine of all things anil forward to the end
of all things. In the last chapter of
Genesis I read of my own origin and the
origin of creation , frcadliow the evenIng -
Ing and the morning were the lirst day
and the second day , and the sixth day ,
until at last the sous of ( Sod anil the
angels ahout over a finished world. God
devotes one page of this book to my ori
gin and the thousand pages which follow
warn mo of mj destiny. (5od ( spoke of
my origin but a moment telling me
whence i came , anil ho breaks the silence
of eternity ever and anon for 4,000 years
telling mo whither 1 am going. J say
here , fellow countrymen , if this little
bundle of paper 1 uold in my hand is
( oil's truth , this convocation to
night means more than the mere
r.NTritTAi.N.Mi\T : op THIS VAST Aumr.NCi- : ,
the 0,000 men with the chance- life and
death before them. I say the question
before us is not one of the hour simply , il
is not ono of to-day or to-morrow , but it
is a question whoso issues are as long as
eturnity , and I want to say to you to
night , that when a man stands up to
preach the gospel lo mo 1 have about
three questions 1 would ask him and only
three , and when they are answered satis
factorily to my mintl , f throw my heart
Wide open to him and to his words , " 'lie
lirst question 1 would ask any preacher
of the gospel is this "are you posted on
the subject you are discussing , do you
know what you are talking about.1' And
when that question is satisfactorily an
swered 1 put another and that is "do
you mean kindlyto mo. " And with that
question satisfactorily answered i have
lull ' -cctnlher anil that i'i "do you live
> ? ; : Su" * jY > Tt pvonelif' Now if a
man is posted on the subject
ho is discussing and he
means kindly to me , and ho lives what
ho preaches , then I say pick out your
weapons and lire away at me , my heart
and my conscience are wide open to you.
Now my brother you are my brother anil
1 got very close to yon in this discussion
you will find out before 1 am through ,
whether I am posted on the subject I am
discussing or not. You can toll by my
manner. You cin : tell by the spirit of the
man , whclttnr 1 menu kindly to you or
nol , or whether 1 live as 1 preach. And a

I have been hunting a man fourteen
years that caught him doing sonu'thing

said somebody else said so , but 1 novcr
could catch the fellow that caught him
at it. I live in Omaha while I am hero ,
and if thcro is anything you can bring
against me , Sam Jones would be
glad to hear it. And if you
want to know about me , 1 will pay vour
telegrams both ways and give you the
names of the prominent ollicials in my

hortation "Kscapo for thy lifo. " There
Is in thuxbosom ot' every man a instinct-
ivn love 'of life , and an instinctive
dread of death. Wo all love hfc ;
wo all dread death. There is but one
thing in this universe that is stronger
than my love of life , and that is ilroad of
tudcido , and suicide is ; the last retreat of
despair. I know , biolhcrthat in this
world in which wo live wo understand
Eoniii things , and ono of those things
that wo understand is that , wo havu a
physical nature and a mental nature ami
a moral naturo. Now , some men don't

that sin will kill my soul. Uno is jusUns
tni'j as thn other. 'ITicn exhortation
lmpes itself in this form : "Ivscapo for

Sin is the one thing in the universe that
cnn harm the mortal man. Disappoint

anda thousand dUlicultics in life muy

but one thing that can harm a man's
soul , u man's Immorality , and that Is
sin. Wo frequently say "I don't

You ask me wlnt I behove hell is. 1 be

lias done its worst it simply takes lire and
then you have hell in all its development.
.Some men don't believe in hell at ail.

lie said. "Mr. Jones what is the necessity
for n hell , ' ' and 1 said. " 1 will ask you a
question and if you will answer it , I will
answer yours. " .Said I , "here is a man
who has a nice lovely wife and innocent
children , that man will go to his supper

The question resolves into this , if f would
escape with my life 1 must escape sin.
That is the one thing th.it all the guns of
heaven are turned loose against. That
is thu one tlnngtliat God is at war with ,
and that is the one thing that God will
not compromise , that is sin , sin , sin.
Now the Apoatje John lulls us that sin is
the transgression ot the law. Now I
propo.MUo discuss some of the ten com
mandments. Some men say God did not
write the ten commandments on the
table of stone. They say Moses wrote
them. I do not care who wrote the ten
commandments , the man that don't
live upon a ( lead level with them
ought to spend his life in tlio penitentiary
of this country. ( Applause. )
The lirst sin wo mention is
TIIK SIX OK I'liOFAMTY.
It is a commonly practiced sin among the
children of men. Old men swear ; .young
men swear ; sometimes little children
swear , histeti , tins commandment reads :
"Thou shall not lake the iianiii of the
Lorn thy God in vain. " Let aye bo aye
and your nay , nay , and further than that
conieth of evil. Nowlhiscommandnicm :
"Thou shall not swear. " There is a man
that will break this commandment.
Well , hero is another : "Thou shall not
steal. " He won't break that ono. Now
suppose I put my hand up Ihis way and
say that a man that will steal lie will tell
lies ami get drunk and curse. You say ,
"Yes , he will. " Well , suppose I go over
that way and say a man that will swear
will tell lies and get drunk and steal.
You say , "Oh , don't say that now ; if you
do .you will gel a fuss on your hands. "
Well , brother , it is a poor rule that won't
work both wavs. is it not ?
Profanity It is a commonly practiced
fain amonir men , and above all sins in the
universe the one I would excuse least.
Now , men give up profanily. If I was a
merchant unless i was a whiskey
merchant , I wouldn't be particular then ,
for : i littl-J-eusriiny ; helps tlicir business
but if I was a merchant in any oilier line ,
and a man proposed to travel for me , Iho
lirsl question I'd ask him would bo "Do
you swear ? " and if he said "yes. " I
would say "That incapacitales you lo
travel for me. 1 don't want any mau
going around doing moro cnssmg than
he iloos selling , " and thcru is many a
drummer in tins country a doingit ,
scattering damnation over the land where
Ihoygo. Mow , thu railroad people have
sleeping cars and ladies' cars , dining
cars and baggage care , anil mail ears and
smoUiug cars ; tliey are just lacking onu
car. Now , I want them to put on a
cussing car and run.

ill there who wants to swear [ laughter ]
1'rofanity. 1 sav it with all the honesty
of my soul , it is the height of ill-manners
and implies a bad raising for you to spue
oul your profanity in the ears of a decent
stranger and you quit thai , if you don't
quit uur profanity under any other cir
cumstances. Oh , what an awful sin it
is. It is said if the devil wants lo catch
any other sort of a sinner ho baits his
hook and covers Iho point , but if ho wants
lo calch a profane man he just drops the
naked hook down and he grabs
on ami lie pulls him into hell.
Ho don't need any bail at all.
1'rofanity. A missionary was coming
"across the water some time ago. He had
been in the heathen land seventeen years.
There was his L > oy , born in a heathen
land , sixteen years old. ncarjy seventeen ,
and when he stood on the ship an Ameri

turned to him and said ; "My friend ,
that boy of mine there was raised in a
heathen land. He is nearly seventeen
years old , and that is the lirst oath ho
ever heard in his life , and that
was sworn by a gentleman from n
Christian land.1' "My God , how can
we debauch this Christian land from
shore to shore with the most obscene and
fearful profanity ? Let us be decent with

you at the gambling table. I have
thought many a time about a woman
wlio.se husband was a gambler. She
knows thai every rag her children wear
is won at the gamblers' table. I have
often thought which must bo thu most
horrible thing , to be a gambler's wife or
load a gambler's life. This country is
running away with speculation. Hoys ,
malic an honest dollar and make it'by
the sweat of your brow. I would rather
have one good honest dollar I earned by
liie sweat of my brow than $1)0,000 ) drnxvn

A dollar at night puts it under his pillow
and the eagle upon it will turn into a
nightingale and sing him to sleep. My
brethren , let me tell yon , the only chance
for America to-day is cnrning an honest
dollar by the sweat of your brow. I was
over In Canada a short lime ago , and
met many American citizens and friends
there. We have a prreat many men in
Canada. A great many Americans in
Canada thai say they are never coming
back here any more. They like it there.
[ Laughter. ] Men of high standing in
the world at one. time. They arc to-day
banished from the land ; banished
as Ihievos. They have stooped to
that degradation through speculation.

The next time you go into a gambling

luck has turned against him , he lias lost
his last dollar , he watches the parties who
have won his money , when ho retires to
his room , makes sure of the place , and at
midnight , under Iho pale glow of Iho
gaslighl , ho walks mlo Ihe room , and as
his victim sloops quietly lie pulls the
dairger and plunges it into the bosom of
thu victim. He perhaps says to himself ,
"I dou'l want to kill you. but 1 have lost
my last dollar and must have it. " Oh ,

Now , my fcllow-countrvmcn , I am not
hero to-night to say tilings thai ought not
to bo said in the presence of your mother
or your wife. Here wo are to-night , boys ,
let your mind run back to your poor
mother to-night. Let your minds run
back to your poor sisters in the eastern or
middle states. Men and brethren of
Omaha , let a kind thought go back to
j-otir pure homes to-night ; let me lalk
with you on the -ln of licentiousness. Oh ,
how Ihis cily is cursed with it. How
yonder on one of your prominent , streets
there stands a prominent building which
is a house of .shame. A house of
ill-fame. It is llauutin < ; itself
before the eyes of the pure wives and
motlicis of this cily. When I was preach
ing in Cincinnati last spring the Cincin
nati Enquirer came out one morning and
said that last night in one of the bawdy
houses in that city a young man walked
up to his own sister and she was assigned
to a room with him The Enquirer pub
lished to Ihe world that a young man
found his own sister in a house of ill
fame. I stood up bcforn an audience that
night , and said that young lady , pure as
she had been raised , had as much right
in thai house as that young man had.
[ Applause. ] [ A voice : "Tlint is so."J
Every poor , lost woman is somebody's
sister and somebody's daughter. My
fellow countrymen let us protect the
virtnu of Iho women of our country.
[ Voices , amen , amen. ] An old gentleman
of a town in a certain slale where 1 was
slopping said : "Mr. Jones , wo have nol
gel a pure boy in tills town over seven
teen yars of ago. " "Well , " said I , "if
your boys are all debauched , how long
before Inis lide of licentiousness will
sweep over tlio girls of the land ? " Then
1 Ihoiight , oh ( iod , let my pure wife and
my pure daughters be buried
in a common grave before they
should come near this lidal wave of li
centiousness. Lei us build a wall a milo
high around Ihe virtue of the women of
our laud. I havu heard that in some
places physicians have said to young
men you cannot ho healthy and bo vir
tuous. Is there a doctor here that ever
said to a man if you are virtuous you can
not be healthy. If there H 1 tell you you
have told thai young man a lie as nlack
as hull and you know il. A doctor tell
my boy he can nol be virtuous and be
healthy , My daughter and your
daughter is made of thu same
material as your boy and will doctors
ever come to my mother and your mother
and tell her that her daughters cannot be
virtuous and be healthy * I warn you if
you should talk thus to my pure
daughters I would empty a Creech-load-
lug shot-gun into your carcass. [ Ap
plause. ] Purity. What do the doctors
say to you old married ripsv Docs he
tell you you cannot bo healthy and
virtuous. My fellow countryman let mo
say to you to-nighl that of all the dirty ,

thai ever walked this earth , if there is
one place darker than another in hell it
la for that man that will come liome from
a liouso of infamy and pillow his
head by the side of u pure wife.
Purity. I will tell you this
country is debauched far enough. Ltl )
us from this time on follow the exanipk
uf our Saviour. Lol. us meet the. pooi
sinful fallen women as ho did. "Ho i\j
deemed them from their guilt and broughl
them back to a belter life. 1 have uiori
hope for all other classes of women than
Hint class who have debauched themselves
in the sin of licentiousness. A great
many men say "Jones is vulgar ; I don't
like to hear him preach. " One time 1
preached to an audience , a mixed con *
grcgation , an old lecherous scoundrel
walked out of the church , his pnru wife
lianiring on his arm , and when lie got out
ho said to his wife that ho would not haye
had her pure cars hpard that sermon for
the world. She said " 1 thought it was ono
of the best sermons 1 heard in my life. "
This wife thought ittwas a eood sermon ,
while the old Trchnrous hag thought it
was terrible. Hoys , be clean , be clean.
Lot us ccaso this licentious life. Let us
resolve to-night to escape It and escape it
forever.
Ono more sin I wish to speak of anil
that is intemperance. Oh , brother , I
want to say much to vou on this , but wo
havu had so much to say about it already
that I will not sav much upon it to-night.

it is a question of death and hell. Our

.Report of Work Uoiin at the Huulcing-
liani Home.
"Inasmuch as ye have done it unlo one
of llie leasl of Iheso ye have done it unto
Ale" is the divine declaration turnislicd
lo Ihe Workers at our "Buckingham
Homo , " Iho inspiration under which tlncr
labors have been prosecuted and with
results under God as exhibled in Ihe fol
lowing statement :
Meetings held 03 , situations secured
for men 8 , for women 20 , boys 3 , meals
supplied'31 , lodgings 110 , signers of our
temperance pledge tW. Our friends will
be glad to learn that a good home has
been found for the young girl referred to
in a previous report as having boon
rescued from a fate worse than
death , also for the litllc boy Frankic.
Girls have been rescued and in two cases
have been returned to their homes , our
efforts in tins direction , however , being ,
we are deeply pained to say , s&dly ham
pered for want of a "Retreat. " When ,
oh when , in God's good providence , shall
this bo supplied ? Provided , if only we
were , with inch a door of escape for
those our erring sifters , strong is our
faith , founded on Iho promises of our
( Jed and thu experiences already had by
us in this labor of love , that many more
of those whose feel arc now treading in
the broad road to eternal death and de
struction might , through such means , be
turned towards "the way. the Irnth and
Iho life. " Mrs. Luador , chairman of our
committee on jail work , which place is
visited regularly twice a week and in con
nection with tlio Y. M. A. service held
there every Sabbath , is witness to many
evidences of religious feeling on the part
of its inmates ; tokens of the Divine favor
joyfully recognized and calculated to in
spire us to renewed consecration of
labor in this direction. The Chinese
class of liitcen to twenlj'-livo under the
siipcrintendcney ol Mrs. A. P. \ \ oed ,
meets regularly every Sabbath afternoon
at I ) o'clock in the Huckingham hall , and
in the eagerness with winch is pursued
by them a knowledge of the truth , is
furnished us abundant belief that our
labors in this direction are nol in
vain. Mr. C. S. Hoyor , who under our
auspices , has been engaged in Iho organ
isation of n Sunday School Temperance
Army , reports an enrolled membership
of 1.U83 constiluling the basis of our
hopes for the future. With a view to
more effective operations care of the
'lunchroom has been transfcrcd to the
hands of Mrs. Leader , affording thereby
lo Mrs. Clark more extended opportun
ities for usefulness and which , it is need
less to sav , will bo gladly availed of lethe
the amelioration , so far as may be in
her power , of the evils with which our
fair city is so sadly alllicted. Grateful

Tlio Kcth-Hdcn Church.
The newly organized congrcgalian of
Ik-tlivEdun met yeslerday morning and
evening at the residence of Mr , J. II.
Unnioiit , al l)2 ! Soulh Twenty-fourth
strecl. On both occasions thoughtful
sermons were preached by the Rev. It. L.
Ilalscy. of Freeport , 111. , who is spoken
of as the paslor of Iho new church.
In Ihe morning Mr. llaiscy look his lest
from the twentieth chapter of Ualatians ,
the verse "Ho loved mu and gave himself
for me. " The speaker lold of v/hat a
beautiful thing love was , embodying as
it did , everything llmt was tender i"-
true. The love of ( 'Ou is a transcendent
power. Cra.-.iions may coma and go , but
ncrui * will thnre bu 11 thought moro sub
lime than Ihis Ihc love of Oed for me.
It forms the theme of the angels about
the throne of God , and yet we ourselves
can rcali/.o bettor than the angels what
it means , if we but give ourselves up to it.
The speaker suggested the fact that he
who receives the love of God can only
respond hy returning Ihat love. Love
alone will answer love , heart alone will
stir heart. Love is the _ true bond of
union between man and his Maker.
Resting in Ihe affection of God , we can
not but. repose llie most purfect trust in
God. For out of His sorrow came our
lordly jov , out ot His woe , our trusting
happiness. God's love novcr changes.
Reposing in His affection , we feel a scns-o
of safetythat * in no other way can bo af
forded us.
Mr. Halsey dwelt on the'restraining
power uf love at somti length. Nothing is
so exacting as love. You expect perfect
obedience , purfect faith , purfect trust
from the ones you love Tjcst. So with thu
Lord , lie expects the best ollurings of
our alfcetions and obedience in return for
His great love for us.
The speaker in conclusion gave an elo
quent description of the crucifixion scene
in Ihe Garden of Geth cmaiic , and dwelt
on thogrcal love filling the lieirl of Jesus
which actuated Him when mangled and
bleeding on the cross to look down upon
his tormentors and say : "Father forgive
thorn. They know not what they do. "
