In the Life of God's People This Was a Day of Rest Beginning a Day of Feasting.
Numbers 29:12
I trust today will be a restful day and a blessed day for you.
1846 - The First Public Demonstration of Ether.
1906 - Sam Jones Died.
Sam Jones was one of the great evangelists in the previous generation. Some people think he was the greatest evangelist of his day. He was on the Billy Sunday order, an old-fashioned, hell-fire and brimestone preacher who led literally hundreds of thousands of people to Jesus Christ.
It is said that Sam Jones conducted revival meetings that oftentimes would sweep the city until the jail would be empty and taverns would have to close; oftentimes the theaters would have such poor business that they would have to close until the revival services were over.
Sam Jones died on a Rock Island train at Perry, Arkansas, teasing and chatting with the pullman porter who was shining his shoes. Many interesting stories have been told about Sam Jones. He made this statement, "It doesn't take anything to purchase religion but it takes a good deal to keep up the repairs after you've got it."
