Sam .Jones in Baltimore. "Some people think they can't be pious unless they are always beg. ging. If my child begged that way, I'd take a brush along and whale him well. If you got faith by prayer, what have you done with it ? Faith is a gift of God, don't see and hear for mne. I pray for my daily bread, but I have to hunt for my cornpone with the sweat running down the hoe handle. [Laughter.] You put your arm in a sl:ng and pray for muscle. A ho, says, 'Mister take your arm out and g o to that blacksmith shop and handle the sledge and you'll get all you want. If you don't take it out soon you can't lift it out.' You've got faith enough to move mountains if you put it in action. God gives every perfect gift. but the develop ment of it in every practical sense is yours. The only kind of faith I bank on is that of committal, trust ing in God. You are going round singing, 'Oh! to he nothing,' and you've sung it till it is the God's truth. [Laughter.] You are old Brother Notbing. and going nowhere. [Laughter.? I want to be something, and go somewhere. I'd rather go to hell than nowhere. [Sensation.] I have an infinite, consolidated horror of being nothing. and going nowhere. -.e not like dumb, driven cattle; be a hero in the strife.' We are running on believing in this country. As an old darkey said : 'It's the principlest thing here.' Every fellow goes on the principle of 'he that believeth not, shall be damned,' and believes everything to keep him from being damned. [Laughter.] What are you going to do with these little fellows that believe in everything ? Your begging don't amount to much, for you don't look as if you had had a square meal in ten years. The faith that receives everything and gives out nothirg don't amount to any thing. I'm no revivalist. I'm an humble member of the Georgia con ference. from whom I got my ap pointment. If I'm a revivalist, I have grown to be one just as my { finger-nails have grown. I do my work, and I am happy in it. I am ashamed of my fellowmen. We are dying with de:ency. I saw a brdther slip last night, and when he recov ered himself he glanced around to see if any one saw him, and looked scared. I say to ;'ou, 'Turn loose and laugh, and it will loosen up your hide and do you good.' [Laughter.] It is unnatural to be starchy and dignified. D)ignity is nothing but the starch of a shroud. [Applause.] If you addresscd a merchant as you Iaddress God, he would have you tried for lunacy. If you went down - town and said: 'Thou great and majestic merchant, show me a pair of divinely colored hose,' they would put you out of the store. [Laughter.] Talk to God as you talk to your wife and children. Be a child and natural man. I am Sam Jones. There is a Samuel Jones, D. D. One is natural and the other is artificial. What ~are you going to do with that artificial Jones ? Why, go and bury the D. D. He's dead. [Laughter.] If we will be ouselves we'll be a grand variety. God never made two men alike but one was of no account.'"-Baltimore American. 3J1takes of Life. Somebody has condensed the mis-. takes of life, and arrived at the con clusion that there are fourteen of them. Most people would say, if they told the truth, that there was no limits to the mistakes of life; that they were like the drops in the ocean or the sands of the shore in number, but it is well to be accurate. Here, then, are fourteen great mistakes: "It is a great mistake to set up our own standard of right and wrong, and judge people accordingly; to measure the enjoyment of others by our own; to expect uniformity of opinion in this world; to look for judgment and experience in youth; to endeavor to mould all dispositions alike; to yield to immaterial trifles; to look for p)erfection in our own ac tions; to worry ourselves and others with what cannot be remedied; not to alleviate all that needs alleviation as far as lies in our power; not to make allowances for the infirmities of others; to consider everything im possible that we cannot perform; to believe only what our finite minds can grasp; to expect to be able to understand everything. -Scientiftc D)on't swap with your relashuns unless ye ken afford to give them the end of the trade. lDon't mnortifi the ilesh too much, 'twant the sores on Lazarus that sent him to henan.
