THE OMAHA DAILY BEE;SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13 THE, WORK OF SAVING SOULS, Bam Jouey' Bermo; ;Rflpnmance at the Exposition Last Night. THE HUMAN AND DIVINE IN LIFE, What Jones Thinks of Amusements— A Sunday Evening Sermon For Men Only—No Service This Evening. Sam Jones, Interest in the rev meetings at the exposition building inereases with each effort of the revivalist. When Mr, Jones atepped to the platform at 8 o'clock last night an andsence of between five and six thousand people faced and sur- rounded him. The time until 8 o'clock was taken up by a song service led by Mr. Excell and his choir whichis increas- ing nightly in point of numbers, When Mr. Jones arrived he announced that Mr. Excell would sing *'Keep in de Middle ob de Road.”” Mr. Jones said tne song had just religion enough in it to save it. He hoped everybody could get some good out of the song. After the solo, which was excellently rendered, Mr. Jones Began his address as follows: Weinyite your attention to these words, the ninth verse of the first chapter of the First Epistles sgeneral of St. John, “If we confess our sins He is faithful and to forgive usour sins and cleanse us rom all unrighteousness.” This is an epitome of the gospel, it the whole ospel nafew lines, and there are two the gospel. There is & human side and a divine side just as uch as there is a human and a divine o furnllnfi. Now the humana side of farming is to plow and piant and work. THE DIVINE 811 JF FARMING ine and the rain, the seed rvest. They very dis- et it takes God and ‘man both to v crop in this country. God shines and you plow and hoe. 1 grant you there are many farmers in the west and who would like to swap sides God and let him plow and hoe while they ram and shine, I heve no doubt of that, I suspect that this part of the country is afllicted with lazy farmers as much is the east. How much easier it would be for one to just rain and shine on this country and God do the plowmg and hoeing. now, brother, if you look at that in sensible stanavoint I would hate to see the Lord turn over the summer cloud to you. You would thunder heavily, wouldn’t you? You would burn up thi = whole world in an hour with the electrie- ity cloud, to say nothing of the other mischief you might accomplish. The Lord delines his side of farming and he defines your side. Now some people don’t know how even to pray for brez (i beleve that the praser, e mo this day my daily bread,”—I believe that is an honest, sincere pra nd that we ought to pray it, but I'am going to look for the answer of my prayer AT THE END OF A HOE HANDLE on a stalk up aboat four feet from the ground. Now there s human and divine side to the gos- pel. It is mine to confess, to repent of my sins and it is God’s to par- don, to for; id Lo save, You do your purt and the Lord stands pledged to do his part. 1 know of no diligent farmer in this country that he doesn’t make bread for the eater and seed for the sower. Godhas pledged both the seed time and the harvest to the farmer. God has pledged to every sinner in this world, “if you will attend to your part in this work of salvation 1 willlattend to mine.” I might be permitted to suy that the reat fault with the ministry to-day i that the preachers are not conscerated men. It is not true that they ave zealous; it 18 not true that they are not honest; it is not true that the) ot preach the truth, but I bave disce: this fact: vine preach out of every ten are preaching he divine side of the gospel and utterly N CTI 1E HUMAN SIDE, cmber once our Sayiour came down to the sea shore and saw the disci- Pples, worn out with the night's work and toil, as they tished in the still hours of the night. * He approached the poor, hun- vy, weary fellows and said to them—he Eucw their thoughts and the bad luck they had had—he said, *Cast nets on the other side of the ship,” they snid, “Why, Master, we have toiled all night and” taken nothing, nevertheless, atThy command, down goes the net on the other side of the ship,” and when they drew it up it broke with the fishes. ‘The preacher that is preaching on the divine side, God bless you, brother; cast your net on the human side of the ship and it will break with the fishes. And how natural it is for preachers to preach the love of God, how naturalit is for us 1o preach a Saviour able to saveunto the uttermost; how natural 1t is for us to preach how God has promised a means of grace to save men, and how natural 1t 15 for us to neglect tofiftell that fellow, “Now you do your part, or if you don’t God’s part will amount to nothing so far as you are con- cerned.” The Gospel of Jesus Christ may be likened unto a passenger train on which tmuplu ride to glory. Some people hink, “Why, I need not fil't aboard.” It is like a man whose all depended on his going to Chicago. He will go to the depor, where the Chi nglo, Burlington & Quiney train stands with ber steam all up and ready to move, and he will count the coaches, look at the engine and let the train move off and leave him, and then he will zo home ana his wife looks at him suprised and says, “Why, husband 1 thought you were going to Chicago ¥ And hesays, “So 1 was.” And his wife says, “Why didn’t you go#" “I didn't do anything, I just STOOD THERE LIKE A FOOL." and the train went oft’ and left e, that isall. 1 didn’t throw rocks at the en- ineer, I didn’t cussthe conductor, the rain just went off and left me.” Let me suy to you this: The gospel of Jesus Christ comes to save, and if you will get aboard according to God's plav you will be all right, but you needn’t go to judg- ment and tell the Lord you didn't do anything. It 18 not only the giving to you of the means of grace that takes a an to heaven, but, more than that, it is the nccepting of the means of g You must get aboard. Now let us cousider for a fow minutes the nature that this is to us. “'If we confess our sins, he is faith ful and just to forgive us our sins and to cloanse us from all unrighteousness.” Thus is your part of tne gospel, now let us look ai the Lord's part, which isto this effect, that whateyer is God's part he will accomplish. That is as certain as we are in this building tonight. Let us take this term here “if we repent of our sins,” 1 tike that term and it hmplies the same in the words of the text, if we confess our sins. Now repentence to the sinner on his way to heaven is just what the alphabet isto a man of learning as he climbs the slinperest and highest steps of earthly philosophy or scienc Now, brother, just what the alpha bet is to : man of learning just that thing re- entance is to the sinper. The first re- igious thing T ever did in wy life was to repent. Well, hive been repenting every since and the last thing 1 ever do BEFORE I LEAVE THIS WORLD s to enter into & hearty repentance be- fore God and go to heaven a voor siLner, saved by grace, that is repentance. Well, it is an essential thing now that we un- derstand what you mean by repentance. A E:ml old woman gave me the best defi- nition that ever I heard. She said. 'L can tell you what repentance is,' I said, ‘Whatt' She said, ‘it is being so sorry for your meanness that you are not agoing to do it any more.' "1 said, ‘that ig good, that 18 the best I ever heard 1n m? life." She said, ‘I will tell you what religion 18 too,’ 1 said, ‘what,' she said ‘it is this, I am &0 glad God has forgiven me that I don't want to do wrong any more.’ I said, ‘that 1s the best definition of religion that 1 have evea heard in my life. Now what does re- pentance moan, if you will boil it all down into oue sentence it means this, “QUIT YOUR MEANNESS® that is the whole thing in a nut shell. A great many people think that erying and sniveling is repentance. They thirk they can come up to the altar and snub and cry and moan and they say that is re- pentance, Now snubbing and erying is B0 more repentance than my coat is Sam Jones, not one bit. 1f you want to cry or your sins becausé you have been such a sinner, cry, but erying is not re. pentance. Here let me give you an ill tration. I have got a hoy say ho twenty-one years old, he'is coming home drunk every night, 1 am troubled to death about the way' he is carrying on ne is a prodigal, drunken boy and every night when he comes home he comes into the room where wife and | sit and ho says, “father I am so sorry I got drunk a to-da; He is drunk as usual, mui‘hv just cries and cries and he keeps it up until finally I say, ‘‘Look here, boy, you have got {0 quit drinking whisky or quit blubbering, one or the other, T won't stand both, I won't put up with it.” A day or two after that he comes home sober and looks me in the fuce and says, “father, I've drunk my last drop. 1am going to do what you want me to, [ am going to live and die a sober and industrious boy.” I said, “son, give me your hand. May God bless you and help you now, son, you've quit, and g YOU NEEDN'T BLUBBER AND CRY another bit now, because you are done, but until you did quit, all your blubber: ing and crying would not_be worth a cent in the world. Now you've quit your meanness you needn’t blubber, but if you've all the blubbering' in the world don’t amount to a cent.”’ Now suppose L had been_doing wrong to my neiglibor. I go to him and say to him, **Neighbor I am sorry I have been doing you wrong, I will quit, I will never do 8o any more. 1 hope you wi forgive me.” s there a neighbor in this world who wouldn't forgive you if you would go to him and talk that way ¢ If you ever done anyone a wrong, hsten, have you ever gone to that person and confessed it and usked him to forgive you? Idare say every nly man 0, 1s done that very thing, Then ou ever have a gentlemen to re- orgive you when you went to him and confessed you had done wrong and promised not to do so any more. DO YOU RECKON GOD is less kind than your neighbor ¢ All you have got to do’ is to o over to_him and tell him “I have done wrong. Iam i will do it sorry for it. I no mor Lord, forgive me for your Son sake,” nd you slum? a par- doned man from the instant. That is the principal in this case. f we re- pent of our now repenting means something; nt you to get hold of that. You needn't to go around God whining and crying and making out like ou wanted to ge good and wanted to be «d when you have not quit the things that are wrong. That doesn't amount toa thing in tho world. A great many of us are not willing to quit our mean- ness right short off. We want to sort o’ taper ofl, like these fellows that taper off drinking. They can’t quit all of a sud- ih-,n. What would you think of a fel- ow TAPERING OFF ON STEALING? Stole $10 yesterday, and is not going to teal but $) to-day, and $8 to-morrow, s and $7 the next day, and he is tapering. Now Now what do you think of that? how do you like that sort of a doct lookmgat it in a_common-sense way? Suppose you say “I am going to quit all my sins but oue’’* Well, one sin in a man’s life is like one leak in a ship, it will sink your soul before it reaches the other shore. It s not the giving up of one sin, or fifty sins, but repentance means the' giv- ing up of all sins. Oh, God, to give up the things that are wrong in thy sight, before the) ve injured me. Repentane don’t know, but it seems Lo me that it is no wonder that a oreat many people never become re- igious. I recollect once when I was at a southern city carrying on a meeting, invited these anxious ones to the front and I was talking among them and a young lady r: her tace up and lovked me in the face said, “Mr. Jones, do you believe there is any harm in dunc- ing?” and I said, “‘You poor, little, silly thing, have you come up here to this altar to quarre! with God’s minister, whether you dance or not*" I would afrs God would kill me in my tracks if 1 did a thing like that. Poor, little, silly thing. 1 reckon HERIDIOCY SAVED HER. on that oceasion. I know that the crank sticks ont right_here. I know L am a crank; I know Iam called a crank, but 1 want to teli you that you can’t call me anything elso in the world that I will be prouder of than that term crunk, If St. Paul had lived in this day he would have been the most consummate crank that ever walked the face of this ear Iam sort o' proud of the title, and if you want to insult mecall me an average chnistian, I'll get made i a minute then, if you call me an average christian. You say, *‘Don’t you want our youn, ruoplo to have any amusement?” ~Look here, what is the matter with the young people of this country? Is it not the amusements that ruin them? If it is let us head them off. Father, I will tell you about the way to settle this thing. Would you be wiiling that your danghter should marry a young man just like your son? Would you, if you knew that yonng man that was courting your daughter was a fac-simile of your cldest son?” Would you be willing that your daughbter would throw her life into a current like that? And mother, if you knew the girl your son was going to marry was just like your daughter, would you be w1 lmF for your son to go and marry her? That is the way to test these things. What sort of children are yon raising on YOUR AMUSEMENT PLANY That is the way to look at it. Butl have to get my children out into societ. if Idon't they will did old maids. [Laug ter.] Listen, mother, raisc a daughter that is an honor to your name and bless- g to the church and boys will hear of it five hundred miles from here and come wnd hunt her up, le:f(hlur,] I guess it is these giddy-headed Litle things that you have 1o out push to marry off, It you bhuve & God-fearing, sensible girl you don't have to_push her a biy; they will hunt her miles, llu-{ will [Laughter.] 1 am sorry for the old mother that just thinks from Monda morning to Sunday night how she will rack her daughters about so as to marry them off before they get to be old maids, ll,nughtvr.] I mean what I say. Repentance means I have quit; I am done; I won't do those things that are wrong; I won't do them. Do you mean tosay, te stand up there in this intelli- gent audience and say that dancing is not the tashion, that dancing is wrong? The bishop of New York City, a few months ago, publicly said, *‘Nineteen out of twenty at the confessional of fallen women told me, ot my downward step to death and hell at the ball room,'” Now if ninetecn out of every twenty fallen women at the con- fessional say they got their DOWNWARD STEP AT THE BALL ROOM, 1 guess we had better begin to think there is something wrong about it. Those are statistics aud fucts x:u cannot doubt to save your life. d I will tell you anotuer thing, teo, I suy it to an intelli- gent audience of this town, and T say it | God's rememberance forever. Let n; aved to the tather and mother of this town, already our world is cursed with enough lost women. You can call me what you may but you never looked m the face of a mortal man who prizes the virtue of women more than the humble speaker to-night. [ would put a wall a mile high around every pure girl in the worid. I say repentance means ‘1 will quit that, I will leave that. T will take this.” That 18 what repentance means. It means “Lord, that is wrong and 1 will quit it and this 18 right and I will do it.” Religion is the most reasonable thing in the world. The Lord don’t want you to quit anything except woat is hurting you. {‘uu can only say turn loose the things that will dam_you, everything that 1 wrong in life I give up forever, wis not do those things any more. That is re- pentance. If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive your sins. Let me tell you brother, here 18 the platform that every one of us can walk upon and be saved to-night. 1F WE CONFESS OUR SINS, dithful and just to forgive our s i i Out in some of these we have ponds or pools to water their cattle. Frequently the cattle walk down to the pond. Some of the farmers have built a MF high wall around the water and put the platform all around the water and at one side of the platform they put a trough and they weather board around the trough on the outside so that the cattle cannot get to the trough or see the trough. There isnot a drop of water in the trough. If an old steer was to rear up on the weather board and look down he could not see a drop of water in the trough and would say there is no use of going down to it at all. But the big old steer don’t know anythin what is'in the trough and walks arounc it ou the platform and the pressure of his weight on the platform forces the water up into the trough and by the time he gets to the trough it is full of water. Here is the fulfillment of (God's promise right there. The pool of the water of life and this weather board- ing here, Mr. Tindall and Darwin and these other fellows climb up and look over and there is not a drop of water in that trongh. My scientilic exploration tells me that there is not a particle of water in the trough, but glory to God, fourteen years ago, I, a poor sinner, walked to the platform and the pressuro of my sins forced the water of life into the trough and 1 have been rejoiced four- teen year Glory be to God. WE HAVE TH LI E IN-FIDDL around the church who don’t bel anything, Some of us preacher these little in-hiddles that ther ance for them; that there is no chal atall. That littie fellow out there has He is sins, not got his pin.peathers on him yet. He has~ havdly got secnough for his mnhlur o risk him out by himself; he has got to be watched and protected. Poor little (infidel). He i as skeptical as be can be. (Applause). The preacher will tell him Sunday mormng that 1f he don’t be- lieve the whale swallowed Jonah and Christ turned the water into wine, and the three Hebrew children went down mto the furnace, he will be damned sure as he lives, The little in-fiddle don’t beheye it. He considers not the bible but the preacher. He is told God has chut the gates of the kingdom of heaven, and there is no chance for him at all God does not care any more for what you have in that small head of yours thanfor the sort of boots you have on your feet. God does not say, give me your head but he says give me your heart, and you will give ~ all your hen to God to-night he =~ will take all ~ the kink out of it before daylightthe next morning. (Laughter). Poor little in-fiddles, I am sorry for them, and that preachers do not treat them right. I have caught many an in-fiddles, (Laughter.) I never string them, T put them in the bucket for pait. (Laughter.) THEY ARE THE BEST BAIT I ever fished with, they are not big enough to string. (Laughter.) I say, my brethren, no matter what’s in your head, no matter what sort of hoot you nave or if you don’t know the way just run you hand up in the dark and say, ‘O God take my hand, 1 want to be better nd I want to do better. i it is to get religion. We have mystified this whole business, My little Bob has more re- ligioussense whe he was live years old than hig father had when he was twenty-four. It tonk me about a weck to gi to God and to fall down and be His vower; but when my little Bob was five years old. I got home on Monday afternoon and when I walked Into the house I met my wife and none of the children were around. L said, “where o the children ¥ She said, “‘they are all up listening to Brother George Smith, a Sunday school secretar, They are very much interested.” I stood there a few minutes talking and directly little Bob came and I took him up and kissed him, and his mother said, *Bob, what kind of a meeting did you hayve ?” and he said, “We had a° good meeting.” She said, *‘What did you do*” and he said **Mr. Smith preached a big sermon and invited us all up to the altur,” His mother said "‘Did you go Bob #’ and he said “'yes.” She said, “What did you go for ¥ and he said *‘I went to have my sins forgiven;” She said, *“Did you get them forgiyen *” and he said ‘“yes,” and she said “How do you know ?” and he sdid “*Mr. Smith said if we would ;{o up and ask God’s forgivenness he would forgive us and we did,” And I asked him, “Buob will you sin any more?Y”’ and he said, *‘yes, I expect I will.” And I said ‘“what will yon do then,” and he said, “I will wait till Mr. Smith comes around and I will go up again.” |Laughter]. You see the littie fellow had it all'in a nut shell, the only thing he had wrong was the priest idea in the boy's aved by accepting pardon at the hand of God. - 1f we confess our sins He is faith- ful and just to forgive our sins. There is another thing, “Aftor I was con- verted I used to think, well, I never can walk the streets of heaven with my head up . 1 HAVE BEEN 80 MEAN, God saw me do all that meanness. How can I ever hold up my head in heaven. That used to worry me until one day I read in the bible there it said, that rle wounld separate our sins from us as far as the east is from the west. I said, that is fnudv 1like that and the word of the Lord went a little further He said *'I will blot out your sins out of the book of my rememberance and will remem- ber them aganst you no more for- ever.” Ithought that was glorious. 1 never saw that so fully illustrated as at a time when vrn:whiuf in Louisville one night. J. C. Morse, he is & pastor of & church down 1n Kunsas City, the Walnut Strect Methodist ehurch, ['was helping him at that time, When the sery were over one night we had a talking meeting after the preaching was over, and Brother Morse told how he used to do. He said he used to drink, fight, gam- ble and had done the meanest things, and confessed HIMSELF AN AWFUL SINNER, but at that time be had been an earnest preacher for seventeen years and the est man I almost ever saw. ~ When the services were dismissed his good old mother who was sitting up in the congre- 10n ran up and put her arms around his neck and said, ‘‘James, what made you confess to being so mean m your younger days?! you kuow it is hot so. ou never hiave been bad in your lite.” Isawit. The good old mother had for- gotten about her boy’s meaunness. It was all blotted out of "her buok of remem- brance, and I said I can walk the golden streets and if I confess my sins God will blot them out snd He will say to mein heaven you are as though rou never done any wrong in your life. not that a blessed prive not only to be pardoned for the past, but ‘to have it separated from us and biotted out of seek the lord and if you want to be confess your sins_and give our h Christ. 1 wish 1 icould see eve here brought dver to Christ After recitingg several incidentsof no- table conversions' under his preaching Mr. Jones closed his sermon by appeal- ing to all who wished to rn['mnl of their 8ins to unite witn the church at once and be saved., FURTHER MEETINGS.
