lie was nearly ninety years old, and
leaves a widow, who was his third
wife.
The Rev. John Jacob Jasper was
known the world over by his declara
tion that “The sun do move.” This
one sentence he has persistently used
in his sermons for fifteen years. For
sixty-two years he had preached from
the pulpit. He was a slave when h^
first propounded the gospel. In the
sermon which made him famous lie de
clared: "The eartli is square and Im
movable. The sun rises In the east
and moves toward the west, and there
sets. The world is flat. Is anybody
going to say that the sun was standing
still before Josher told it to stand still?
Do you thing Josher would have asked
the privilege to stop the sun if she had
not been moving? This morning when
the sun rose it was over there,” he
said, pointing to the East. “How could
the sun get from that side of the house
over to this (jiointing toward the Westi,
unless It moved? The man who says
the sun does not move, does not read
the Bible.” The Bev. Jasper was born
in Fluvanna County, Va., July 4,
1812. He was six feet two inches tall,
and was remarkably well built. All
his knowledge was self-acquired. He
lectured throughout the country, and
once he received an urgent request
from Henry Ward Beecher to lecture
in Plymouth Church, and at other times
received pressing invitations to preach
in the large churches of Europe.
