A STYLE OF EXHORTING OFTEN RE
SORTED TO.
“Everybody Who Wants to Go to Heaven
Will Please Stand Up’*—How Christian
People View This Sort of Thing—Sam
Jones “Stands” Alone for a Time.
The Times-Recobdek: In your issue
of yesterday you published a funny
story in regard to Sam Jones “standing
alone” as follows:
Recently bo was addressing a crowded
audience, and said: “I want every ono
in this congregation who wants to go to
Heaven to stand up." Of course, almost
everybody rose. "Now I want every
body who wants to go to the other pi ace
to stand up.” At first no one stood tip,
but Anally a long and skinny individual
in the back seats, about as fat as an
umbrella, arose and said: “I don’t ex
actly want to go to the other place, but
I am willing to stand up rather than let
the preacher go there all alone.”
Now, sir, I submit that this is tho
quintessence of theological mummery;
and Sam Jones is not the only mummer
by any means. Why, just look at the
number of our so-called evangelists who
indulge in this sort of whangdoodle:
“All those who wisli to go to Heaven,
will pleaso stand up 1”
“All those who desire to go to h—11,
please riser’
“Those who love Jesus, will raise
their right hands.”
And so on ad nauseum.
Now, sir, as a Christian, I protest
against this mountebank business. It is
a disgrace not only to Christianity, but
an insult to common sense and a man’s
manhood. Where do these evangelists
for revenue only get their authority for
snch absurd solicitations and pressure to
get mouth professions of religion from
the unthinking and carel ess?
To think of each fellows performing
fantastic capers in pulpits Is enough to
make angels weep. And what Is sadder
to relate, these mountebanks draw the
people and the cash, while modest
worth and Christian sense is relegated
to the rear, and starves. IIow long, O
Lord, how long? J F.
Death of Mrs. Iley*.
Mrs. Mary Heys, relict of Mr. Samuel I
SPEAKING OP PEOPLE.
Heys (who passed away Beveral ypars J Those Who Como to and bo from Aroerl-
ago), died on Tuesday morning, at 0
o'clock, at the residence of her son, Mr.
W. B. Heys, three miles east of this city.
She was 74 yaars of age, and has lived in
Americus for the past forty-live years.
She leaves a largo family of children,
grand-children, great grand-children
and friends to mourn her death.
Mrs. Heys was noted for her kind and
gentle manner to all, was a true Chris
tian, and lias lived for the past twenty
years for the comfort of her children.
For the past several weeks her health
has been failing. Two weeks ago she
was stricken with paralysis, but retained
that activity of brain which had char
acterized her liife. She kissed her
children, grand children and great
grand-children good-bye, peacefully
folded her hands across her breast, nnd
quietly awaited the summons from Him
above to come and join her husband in
that blessed land where the weary are at
rest. And when the summons came,
she passed from earth to Heaven ns tho
dow-drop fades in the buttercup.
May the good Father comfort her
children, and unite them all at life’s
close in that blessed family circlo in
Heaven.
A Mill-summer German.
Mr. and Mrs. Theron Hawkes and Mr.

to the many attractive features of the
evening's round of pleasure.
Stonewall'* splendid string hand dis
persed inspiring music, and the summer
moon which shines nowhere quite so
brightly aa It does in our own sweet
southern skies added its charm to the
scene.
The grounds, sacred to the memory of
many pleasant associations, were never
more beautiful than last evening.
The tine old mansion wai thrown wide
open, and in the brilliantly lighted halls
the elite of Americus danced tho first

The N>sro In California
Tho New York Herald thus ills-
courscth on a new colonization scliome.
There is a good deal of sound horse
Sense in tho plan for colouizing a large
number of negroes on the Pacific
slope.
Senator Stanford Is said to be at the
head of the movement, and it is predict
ed that within the next twelve months
250,000 or more colored people may find
employment and a borne in California.
At any rate the scheme is under full
headway and will have a fair trial.
The climate out yonder is peculiarly
genial and adnpted to the negro const)
tutlon. He doesn’t stand the rigors of
the north. Zero weather takes the lifo
out of him, and Jack Froit and lie have
never got on well together. He curia up
in a snow storm like a burned leaf and
doesn't thaw out enough to do n square
day's work until the mercury begins to
climb.
California is in need of laborers and
can give them steady work and fair,
living wages. The Chinese are neither
liked nor trusted. They are not simply
aliens by birth, but by all tho customs
and habits of lifo. They seldom become
citizens, they acquire our language with
difficulty, and they have no interest
whatever in our lustitutions. For tlicso
and other reasons the people of Califor
nia entertain so strong a prejudice
against the race that amicable relations
have become impossible.
The negro, however, Is one of us. lie
has a vote, he will live nnd die in the
country, and he wants s homo and a
ebance to live. The aouth can spare a
sufficient number to supply the needs of
California, and that state Is offering
homestead inducement* which ought to
tempt a great many of the more thrifty
among the colored people to pull up
stakes and try their fortune in this new
field.
The experiment ia an extremely in
teresting one, and it promises a large
degree of success.
