More Gems From Sam Jones.

The meetings of that Reverend blackguard, Sam Jones, at Kokomo, resulted in large meetings but few conversions. People evidently went to hear him just to be entertained. Here are a couple more “elegant extracts,” showing Jones’ opinions of church members and “niggers. ” You old flea-bitten blatherskites and hypocrites you. Too many church deacons have demijohns at home. What sort of animals are you? Such people will be in hell before their feet are cold. A mean church member is the meanest man on earth. You Godless old hounds, hypocrities and sinners. Every church is cursed with a gang of “old quitters” contemptible flea-bitten old quitters who leave one church and are picked up by another. If your eggs are as rotten as your town I don’t want to be egged. You can throw ancient hen fruit at me, but don’t give me any of your spoiled Kokomo fruit. The devil has finished his work in Kokomo and gone on. Talk about the niggers of the south being abused. The nigger is all right. It will soon be blackberry time and after that comes the water melon season. This will last till ‘possum time; and the negro will be right in it for the balance of the year.
