The large tabernacle was crowd ed, and even standing room was at a premium ami the grounds for a n-'if 1 Kt iri.-p Hi-re ti pc with ncn- ( n'y-"'- ' pie. Tea ms were fastened side bv sid.e tor a mile on each sale of the park. For so large a gathering the crowd has been very orderly. There were .several accidents on the road out this morning, caused by careless driving, but no serious injuries were reported. Rev. S.im P. Jones preached at 10:30 a. m., taking hts text from the fust chapter ot the second general Epistle of Peter: "Add to your faith virtue and to virtue knowledge and to knowledge temperance and to temperance patience and to pa tience godliness and to godli ness brotherly kindliness and to brotherly kindness charity," He said: "The subject ot my talk this morning will be character build ing. My character is the immoital part that shall survive the rottenness ot the grave, and go over to eternity and abide forever. I make charac ter for eternity. Reputation you can put on or cast off at Anil like a glove. But character is your hand that is to abide with you. Reputation is what men say ot you Character is what you are. If I want to mould char acter I take God's law and not con science lor mv guide, putting con science under the law. We build character by the divine pattern. ' "As the temple was put together without a sound ot hammer, so will erect a house to-day without the sound of hammer, and take as the great bed rock to begin on faith in God. To believe is a grand thing. I am sorry for the little preachers who are always trying to deny the the denials of infidelity. When a man says the Bible is not true I say to him, 'My brother, you get a little more hair and a tail and be called Bounce and you would be on just the right track.' If there is anything I have a perfect contempt tor is two eSSe tailless dogs and we have got a good many of them in this country. Don't blush, dear sister, for your husband may be one. I had just as soon pray tor Irish potatoes as pray for faith. You are praying tor more grace, when, you old sinners, you, you are up to our chin in grace now. "If God should come down here to-day and issue a week's rations or grace the old devil would have halt of it before night. You can't get one out of ten of the preachers to speak ol the devil m the pulpit. They all seem to have the greatest respect for him and they refer to him as the president of the burnt district. I kick his name and trample his presence under my feet. 1 hope the reporters will get it down just as 1 say in the last two hundred years there never has been a preacher who had any power with God or influence with men, that d:d not believe in a real burning scrip tural brimestone hell. Now put that down. i.et us run o.ck a .;uiu.;e.t o v.o hundred years and take .: Bur.vsn Let us run back and take no Wt-s'ev, ct us run back and take in Luther leadinc r.rf-irhers of to-day who are a power in the land an J every one o; them believe in a rea!, genuine, buminc: hell.

Some people have but one sort of rehigon heart religion. These little fellows will bob up and shout I have got it I have got it here in my heart my mend, it is something you eat God don't commence at a fellow's heart and boil up but he commences at his j head and pours down until he reach j es his heart and then h:s pocketbook. The fourth stone to place is tem perance. The apostles didn't refer to drinking whisky. Just think ot a whisky drinking Methodist or Pies byterian, or Baptist. I tell yon Chris tianity and red liquor won't stay in the same hide. I know tor I haye tried it. In Georgia nobody but an infernal scoundrel will sell liquorand nobody but an infernal fool will drink it. The next .stone to lit in place is patience, and what a glorious thing it would be u we all had plenty ot patience and next to patience broth erly kindness. Heaven is at the other end of a kind act my brethren. If you want good religion, get brother ly kindness mixed up in your heart. Charity finishes up our structure and makes it complete." STRONG TALK IX THE AFTERNOON. At the afternoon service the crowd on the grounds was even much larger than in the morning. Mr. Jones preached from the text "Escape tor Your Lite." He noti fied his hearers that he was going to "talk plain and nib it m strong" and it they couldn't stand it they .had better pull out. He said: "If you get mad at what I say you are rascals at heart." His handling of the pop ular sins of the day was terrific. He took up first profanity, next Sabbath breaking, Jthen gambling. Ile re ferred to this evil without gloves and was severe on the Louisiana state lottery and Jthe gamblers j in futures as well as the less popular gambler. He condemned strongly the course of the Generals Early and Beauregard and said they would go down to their graves in shame and disgrace on ac- count of their connection with the j infamous Louisiana lottery, j The next sin handled was the im i purities of life. Mr. Jones paid a j high compliment to the purity of the I American women and prayed that they might always remain so, but he ! warned them of the dangers of the ; dance, ot the hand clutch on the arm.

JThese men grim, powder black ened warriors, then, with hearts of iron and sinews of steel, are peaceful farmers and business men now, long unused to "war's wild alarms," candier with the ploughshare than with the sabre, accustomed many of them, to dandle grand-children upen their knees these men, summoned by the old busrie that sounded its shaiil call last upon the banks ot the Rio Grande, a generation ago, are starting up from a thousand homes and hamlets throughout the land, with something ot the old martial fire in the eye, and all ot the old alac- rity, to orey tneir g .; .iat.t leauer s call. They gather there to look upon their old commander : to hear once more the voice thev were won t to lead oe the col- near oitenest at the uinn, amid the thickest and fiercest of the fray ; to grasp once again the sturdy hand that never drew a blade but to use it. What a meeting that will be! Old comrades and messmate; fellow sufferers in a thousand priva tions companions in glorious achievements upon a hundred hard hard fought fielns ! What scenes of sorrow what deeds of despelate daring what long forgotten memories ot flood and field ot march ot bivouac, will be there recounted ! But of that splendid column that rode away with Shelby to the wars with pennants streaming bravely to the breeze, with drum beat and bugle note, w ith plumes nodding gaily and with swords and bright trappings glittering in the glorious sun light, how tew will gather up there at roll call on the new camp ground ! Four years of summer heat and winter cold : four years ot rough iid iri and brave battle, left few to re turn hither, when, at last, "grim vis saged War had smoothed his wrin kled front," and sweet face Peace smiled upon the land once more. Many very many, have passed over the river and are at rest under the shade of the trees. "Vpon Fame's eternal camping- ground. Their silent tents are spread. And t'lorj- guards, with solemn round. The bivouac of the dead." But those who will meet to ex change fraternal greetings and fight their battles o'er, there will be some who aie yet sore of unhealed wounds and some without hands or feet. They staked exerything property as well as life and limb, upo.i their cause and lost.
