Missouri has a female Sam Jones. She preaches with a rough vigor, and makes quaint breaks that are even now unexpected. At one of her revival meetings at Joplin, she suddenly exclaimed: “There is a man here who is untrue to his wife. lam going to throw this hymn book at him.” Suiting the action to the word she seized a heavy hymn book and fetched back with a vigorous arm, ready for the throw.
