    ASKED DEATH IF CHURCH CLOSED
    Prayer of Pastor in Baltimore Was Quickly Answered
    Special to The Washington Post

    Baltimore, Oct. 20 last week the Rev. J. Wynne JONES, who lived in Highlandtown, prayed in a sort of Billy Sunday way:

    "Lord, if these fellows here in town close up all the churches on Sunday, I hope I will not live to see the day when Thy place is shut!"

    Forty-five minutes later Dr. JONES lay dead, victim of heart failure.

    Dr. JONES was a pastor in Baltimore for more than 40 years. In that time he built up one of the largest acquaintances any pastor has ever built up in Baltimore. He founded the old Abbott Memorial Presbyterian Church. Dr. JONES looked like President McKINLEY. He had the same nose, the same square mouth, the same rounded, forceful head.
