Charles Price Jones co-founded the Church of God in Christ with Mason. They were both students at Arkansas Baptist College. Mason, however, dropped out because he felt there could be no salvation through education. Jones stayed, and graduated in 1891. However, he maintained a Methodist connection.

Jones wrote over one thousand hymns, most of them between 1895 and 1905. You can listen to some of these at:
