JENKIN LLOYD JONES
Management
MUTUAL LYCEUM BUREAU
Suite 55 Auditorium Building
CHICAGO, ILL.



ANNOUNCEMENT
Jenkin Lloyd Jones is a Welshman by birth, but he celebrated his first anniversary by landing in New York.  His parents, drawn thither by their love of liberty, settled in the wilds of Wisconsin.  Mr. Jones, inheriting their spirit, has devoted his life to the cause of democracy.  His earnest work began in 1880 in Chicago, where rugged strength, definite purpose, and devout enthusiasm drew around him the congregation which resulted in All Souls Church, an organization of great activity on educational, civic and philanthropical, as well as spiritual and ethical, lines.  Mr. Jones is a student of Sociology and ethics rather than of dogma and tenet.

The World's Parliament of Religions, which marked an epoch in religious thought, had Mr. Jones for its Secretary, and it is generally acknowledged that much of its open spirit, inclusive fellowship, and successful management of its complicated program were the result of his tireless labors.

The great church over which Mr. Jones presides is now known as the Abraham Lincoln Center.  It is undenominational and stands for almost every phase of religious, intellectual, physical and social life.  Dr. Jones conducts not only a weekly bible class composed of 125 women and another with nearly half as many men, but is the leader in every other line of the church's activity.  There is probably no man in Chicago who speaks on so many public occasions or on a greater variety of topics.

A Clever Tribute
A well written account of Dr. Jones and his work-shop appeared in the Atlanta Journal, March 15, 1906, by the very clever writer, Marie Alice Phillips, from which we quote the following:

Dr. Jones is not young.  Sixty summers have passed over his head, you would say, glancing over the mass of silvery hair which curls generously over a massive brow; but his eyes—surely they have not seen more than twenty-five summers, and no winters at all.  They are bright and merry and kindly; they show a comradeship with all the world.  Dr. Jones looks like Whittier, and gives the impression that he might carry gum drops and stick candy for the little street tikes in his capacious pockets, and perhaps extra circus tickets for the boys who have done their work well.

He has been pastor of All Souls Church in Chicago for the past twenty-five years, and has removed his pastorate to the new settlement building, corner Oakwood Boulevard and Langley Avenue.  The auditorium is now known as All Souls Church, and Dr. Jones continues his pastoral work here.

When asked about his work Dr. Jones drew out of his pocket a copy of the Unity, of which he is editor, and turning to a picture of the new settlement building known as The Abraham Lincoln Center, went lovingly over it with his pencil, pointing out the different departments and what they mean.

We call ourselves the 'center,' you must know, because we are the center toward which all the woes of the district gravitate, and the center from which we throw out the line to all in need of help.  The object of our incorporation is the advancement of the physical, intellectual, social, civic, moral and religious interests of humanity, irrespective of age, sex, creed, race, condition or political opinion.  I often say that I belong to every church because I belong to them all.

In the high basement here, whose windows look out into the street, are the department of manual training, rooms for games, and a boys' reading room.  On the first floor there is, here to the left, the reading room, a circulating library, my study over here to the right, and opening into it the publication offices of the Unity and other working rooms.  The center of the second floor is the auditorium, and opening into this a big reception room and a tea room.  Connected with the tea room is a model kitchen where the simplest or most elaborate menu can be prepared.  The auditorium and these reception and tea rooms are sub-rented twice a week to two very large and fashionable women's clubs with memberships of two or three hundred.  Back of the auditorium is the Nancy Hanks memorial, furnished in the most rugged, simple style typical of the life and times of that wonderful woman.  Opening into this room is the Browning memorial.  There are other rooms devoted to social and literary clubs.  The fourth floor is the residential portion.  Your humble servant has his quarters over here to the left, and there is a guest room for distinguished visitors, and accommodations for the resident workers.  On the fifth floor we have our gymnasium and the domestic science rooms where girls are taught to sew and cook.

And your workers—where do they come from?

From the thickly settled district in the rear, some of them; others come by way of the Boulevard in their automobiles.  We have only two millionaires working with us, but there are lots more of them who give us money, and their cordial interest and good wishes.



Press and Personal Notices

Times-Democrat, New Orleans, La., March 2, 1906.
Seldom has a lecture of such breadth of thought, earnestness of purpose and beauty of diction been heard in New Orleans as that delivered by Dr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones last night in Temple Sinai, under the auspices of the Young Men's Hebrew Association.
Mr. Jones is a man of most magnetic personality—broad-shouldered and vigorous, with a clear, resonant voice and eyes that beam with a kind and generous spirit.  He speaks as one who has dedicated his life to the services of his fellow-men.  His lecture last night was upon The Three Reverences.  It might well have been termed Knowledge and Its Relation to Human Life.




Greenville, S. C., News.
Dr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones is himself a living example of the great principles he so forcibly portrays.  The strong, rugged personality of the man bespeaks the hardy Welshman of the mountains rather than the philosopher and scholar, yet the splendid command of language, interspersed with bits of classic reference, aided by a voice at once forceful and persuasive, left no doubt on the minds of those so fortunate as to hear him of the depth of his intellect and the culture of his mind.
His style is decidedly out of the ordinary, and the peculiarity of his accentuation, betraying his origin no doubt, was attractive.  He is an orator of the vigorous type, yet polished in his style and illustrations, using what is known as the anti-climax with remarkable effect.  The speaker was frequently applauded, and his lecture was not only interesting, but thoroughly enjoyable.


Prof. J A. Gamewell, Spartansburg, S. C.

Of all lecturers who have been in our Course, he delighted and charmed our people most.

Dr. Charles Foster Smith, formerly of South Carolina, now Professor of Greek in the University of Wisconsin.

Perhaps the most inspiring man you have not had is Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago, who can make every nerve of mind and soul tingle.  He is a great man and keeps his hearers under a spell from start to finish.


The Journal, Appleton, Wis.
The two efforts were very notable, and were listened to with delighted attention.  Mr. Jones possesses a voice of great richness which seems to be attuned to the deep, sympathetic qualities of his nature.  He preaches the doctrine of right living and right doing, founded upon the example of Christ, and his words are pervaded with the spirit of the universal brotherhood of mankind.  His gospel is the gospel of love and helpfulness.


The Herald, Laporte, Ind.
To hear him is to be carried along unresistingly in his line of thought.


The Gazette, Sterling, Ill.
As his profound and able discourse came to a close we gazed at each other with joy, that such a teacher and prophet had come among us.  The general feeling is that one cannot hear Mr. Jones too often.


The Republican, Rockford, Ill.
He has a masterly command of choice and forceful language.


The Times, Los Angeles, Cal.
He rivets attention by the earnest reverence which seems to be the key to his character as a religious teacher.


San Francisco Journal.
He is one of the most popular preachers of the West.


Daily Chronicle, Marion, Ind.
He is in touch with the aspiration that animates mankind.  It is this that inspires him.  To know his life is to give additional emphasis to what he says.


The Daily, Aurora, Ill.
Jenkin Lloyd Jones is a forceful and pleasing speaker.  He is a master of elegant diction, and has a voice that was put into his throat for oratorical business.


Minneapolis Times.
Not the least of Mr. Jones' success as a lecturer is due to his sense of humor.  He impresses one as being like Oliver Wendell Holmes, who said he did not dare to be as funny as he could.  But along with this humorous sense, he is scholarly and thoughtful, and often profound.

Mrs. Mary Putnam Gridley, President of the Thursday Club of Greenville, S. C.

Among my pleasantest memories of the World's Fair at Chicago, are the mornings spent in the mammoth art gallery when Jenkin Lloyd Jones talked or lectured on Dutch Art to as many people as could get within listening distance.  The charm of those mornings lingers with me yet, and since then Dutch Art stands in my mind linked with the White City and Jenkin Lloyd Jones.  The lion-looking, tender-hearted man represents the life of Chicago that looks to the helpful side of humanity, all that tends to larger living.  Whatever he has to say on whatever subject will be worth listening to and worth remembering.

To thee, O country, great and free,

Thou art the only friend who feels
Their weight without a frown.
For thee we daily work and strive;
To thee we give our love;
For thee with fervor deep we pray
To him who dwells above.
O God, preserve our Fatherland,
Let peace its ruler be,
And let her happy kingdom stretch
From north to southmost sea.
