H.ini Jones ,
The rclnrn of pleasant weather cave
Sam Jones another largo audience at the
exposition building last nlglit. Fully
three thousand people were present when
lie began Ills talk at 8 o'clock. A largo
number of local and visiting clergymen
occupied beat' ) on the platform , llcv. 0.
W. Savage , pastor of tlic Howard Street
M , K. church , ofTorctl the prayer of the
evening. Mr. J xccll sang "The Model
Plinroli" in a most excellent manner.
Mr , Jones then took charge of the meet
ing , and nuked all who were members of
any church to stand up so ho could tell
liow hti should address them. Evidently
plbusod with the showing , lie dcliveicd
the following discourse :
1 propose liiKlinga text over hero In the
third chapter of the first cplsllo ccnoral of
Ht. John. Tills Is uood for each of us whether
vvo nro lit the church or out of tlio church.
It we are not in embers of any church we ad-
ndtc pure Christianity. Wo like the highest
attainment In Christianity , and vvo select this
crsc , it Is the ninth verso : "Whosoever Is
born nfOod does not commit sin , for 11 Is seed
i-cnialiicth In him , and no cannot sin hocauso
ho Is born of Cod. " 1 might say that this
TCTHO of scripture Rave mo nioro trouble the
llrftt jeais of my Christian life thin perhaps
all cither verses to ho found in the bible , i
flcaicely ever read this verso without the cold
Chills runnliiK over me "lio that Is horn ol
( Iod docs not commit sin , for Ills seed ro-
in.iinetli in him and ho cannot sin because ho
Is born of Oofl. " if I were to sav now tliat
AM IIO.sr.ST MAN CANNOT SIKAI , ,
ovcijbody will say , "I agree with 3 ou. " If 1
vvcro to say tliat a truthful man cannot toll a
lie , over > body would sav , "t agree with you
again. " if 1 wcro to say that a solici man
cannot got drunk , yon would saj , "i aiiico to
that. " If I were to way a chaste man tannot
bo vulgar , > uu would siy. "I agree with you ,
sir. " Hut when I say a clirlstlan cannot bin.
a good man cannot do wrong , why t
get tlie woBld up in arms In a
minute. Well , now. 11 logic Is worth any
thing and you can mix common sense and
religion , brother , let us consider the pioposl-
tion before us to-night , and I believe verily
that a man's moid condition has : i great dcil
to no with what the gtupel is lo him. To
homo of us present , ( Ids text Is a sword cut-
tlngevon totho divldliu asunder of Joint
and marrow , to others of us it is the hicad of
lite , and jour moral condition determines
whether the word of ( ted shall bo a sword or
whether It shall be bread. The bible , like
Uluist hlnibolf , Is an open sccict. I see a
d)7cn ( men Mandlnjr In the prudence tit
Christ , cloven of them are hciibus and
riiarlsees. Jesus tnnu to them and sajs
"Whom say jo that I am ? " and they bald ,
"Vou are tlio .son of a harlot and an im-
poster. " And lie dinns his eyes on Simon
Tclcr and Moid , "Whom bay jo that I am ,
.Simon ? " I wish t could have looked at
t B/'non's / face as It glistened under the iiovvcr
ol his answer. And Simon looked at his
Jjoitl , nnu said , "Thou ait tlio Christ , the son
of the living dod. " Jlut , you bee Sln.oii
1'elor hid tfot Into the sccict and Jesus
Christ was an open secret. Jlnt to the
Bcrlbes and .Pharisees hypocrites lie was nn
Impostor and the HOII ot a hailot.
Tin- bible Itself is a cunningly devised fable
to borne men hut to others It is tlio bread of
life. An Honest looking gentleman came up
liciolast night , Hpoketo to mo kindly and
Hidd , "Mr. Jtinos 1 want to shake hands with
you , 1 lioliovu in Uod but 1 do nut believe in
5 Moses or In Chribt. " "Well , " bald I , "do you
claim to bean Israclltft'i' " Jlo said "Yes I
am. " "Well , " said I , "If jou arc an Israelite
in whom is no guile , 1 call vou brother. "
"Hut , " ho said , "i don't bofiovo In Jesus
Christ. Bind lie , "Air. Jones , let mo glvo

Now In order that J may hco this text clearly

It Is the bcllcl of all the inlluontlu men
who have aril veil here HIIICO the elections
this month that although this session of con-
cress will bo a very shoit one , it will In ail
probability develop a picsidcnllal candidate
lor either political paitj"H will demon
strate the power ot the men to concentrate , "
said one statesman at thocapitol this mornIng -
Ing , "and will forge to the toie front UIOMI
who can propose practicable schemes for lift
ing the ciuiiurj- out of the dilemmas ills In.
There are several emergencies calling for
statesmen , and opportunities present them
selves forgeiilns.1'
Kvery.v here the remark Is made that Mr.
Cleveland is making ready to prove himself
equal to thorn easion in his mossauo to con-
giess. it Is said that ho Is exercising the
gicatest care and judgment , and that he ex
pects to make this the document ol his lite.
The message xvlli bo anticipated bj- con nss
with the most Intense interest , Mr. Cleveland ,
It is s.dd , will try to solve the problem now-
presented In the tlneatened wreck ol our
national hanking system ; that ho willmiiko
an elTnrt to point out to the national Ic isla-
tine what should bo dnno In the foieign
issues arising ; what disposition ought to uo
made ot the public land , commerce and
many other matters before the people and
crowding congiess for action. Ills predicted
also tint the labor question will be touched
upon veiv forcibly , and tlio whole lieid of
technicalities in statesmanship gone ovei.
The mPs-.aL'0 will bo tlio beat evidence ol the
fitness or uniitness qt Mr. Clovclind to oe-
cupj- the position ho is In ol anything he 1ms
shown since ho came into the white hoti e.
and it will , couiMcssiucn s.iy , make
or break him for tlio struggle of IbSS.
.Mr. Cleveland has now been In the executive
mansion over twenty months. He has had
a taste ot every possible plmseof presidential
life in a time ot peace , and he is able to lay
down , at this distance fsom a national cam-
i ) il.'ii , his unbiased conclusions and t.ivo out
his best advice. Ho lacks not experience or
familiarity with his duties and should not ho
wanting In tlio necessities of the hour. Those
who have talked with him recently nbont the
needs of the time and the probabilities ot
concessional work say he feels the gravity
of the position hn occupies and Intends to tiy
to bo master ol tlio situation. Whatever ho
savs m his message majsuicly bo said to be
his own. He is credited with directing tlio
details of thn work of the odicors under him
more minutelv than has ever anv of his pre
decessors. AVith tlio opportunities before
him tlio foithcnmlng presidential messisco
may bo regarded us a vciy impoiUnt docu

and the bond calls. 'I hey Saj-tlieliuidatlon ( ]
of so much of the assets ot national banks
and tlio retirement of so much bank circula
tion means investments in railroad nnd other
securities and hence their apnrcciation. The
rise in ail securities outside of Lovernment
bonds since the latter have been raided nas
been fai greater than tlio proportionate re
demption ot bonds , and statesmen savtlieio
can bo no special svmpathy between the two
circumstances. They are Inclined with
the railroad men to believe that the
apprecktion ot all stocks represent
ing common carriers Is due to the
heavy crops and the relief of business dis
tress geiierallj' . The advance of railroad
stockw cairies with It a rise In all other per
sonal values. The Cranger roads , the states
men Hay , are advancing by virtue of having
determined , for aw hllo at least , to hold their
lands secured from the government , and also
the development ot the country through
Which they pass.
