TABERNACLE ON SOUTH FIFTEENTH STREET

Why Call Ye Me -Lord, Lord?

Asks Billy Sunday as He Hits Hypocrites and Religious Shams

Christianity Can Save the World, Says Evangelist in Sunday Night Sermon Some Stingy People Can't Give Away 10 Cents Without Singing, "God Be With You Till We Meet Again."

The Text "Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things I say 7" Luke 6th chapter, 46th verse. Billy Sunday delivered the following sermon on Easter Sunday night In the tabernacle: . Why call yourself a Democrat and then vote the Republican ticket? Why call yourself honest -and then He? Why say that you are pure and then live in sin? "Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and flo not the things -which I say?" What did Jesus mean? Do you beHeve he meant the things that are resorded that he said, or do you believe that he said one thing and meant another? Do you believe that he ut-

Ppred things that were impractical

-and Impossible for us to carry into effect and then told us he'd damn us If did not live uo to it? I don't believe you are fool" enough to charge him with that, and if you are that doesn't Justify the fact that you are a fool if you do It. Is the Standard High? Not for Christianity. Did be put the standard too high for human attainment and then tell U3 he'd damn us if we didn't reach it? No! I read where a Bishop of the English church said that the teachings of Jesus Christ should be regarded as ideal and were never intended to be carried into effect or lived. I knew, of a Y. M. C. A. that had a debating society, and it just decided that under social, political, economical conditions, that the teachings of Jesus should be regarded as ideal and were not intended to be lived, yet they both had the audacity to call themselves Christians. Another man said Christianity had failed. He lied! I will admit that Christianity has fallen away beneath love as the original standard. Love is the dominant principle of the world; love can never be defeated. Love may be checked; love may be prevented for the time being, in accomplishing its aim, but love will drill a tunnel through all the mountains of onDOSition and reach the goal of a touchdown. Love : it's the mightiest thing in the world! And the world is starving today for the manifestation of the love of God in the hearts of men and women. Christ's Power Will Drive Out Hatred. I always had a good deal of sympathy with a hobo that went up to the back door of a professing Christian woman's home and pandhandled her for a cup of coffee and mooched her for a flapjack and alter mucn persuasion 6he came across with a tract on the bread of life, and he began to tear the tract up and curse and mutter. I have no sympathy with his oaths but I have a good deal of sympathy with the feelings that possessed him. What that fellow needed then was a piece of meat with two pieces of bread under it. The shortest into that fellow's heart was by xi-ov of his stomach. It was the rmipUest wav to land him there. I believe that there is no prejudice existing between man and men, between masses and classes, between capital and labor, that can't be driven from the world by the principles of Jesus Christ manifested in the lives of man and men, masses ana classes, pnltol and labor. I read of a Scotchman who learned fimt Biioueh of the French language to say. "God loves you," and he walk ed the streets of gay, sinful fans with the tears trickling down ms cheeks and his arms outstretched, crying the words' in French. It struck conviction to the hearts of the people until out of that the great All Mission work in Paris was Btarted. Story Shows How Christianity Works, I heard of a professor who was a Christian. He had a brother-in-law, a doctor, who was an Infidel and this doctor said the reason that all Christ- - lans didn't sin was because they Averen't sufficiently tempted. SomeTODAY'S BEST STORY IN BILLY'S SERMON Oh, the principle of love Is what Is going to move the world! We don't miss them until they are gone many of them. Like a friend of mine out in Iowa he was a very rich farmer and his little boy ha didn't pray, didn't think anything about God and his little boy was sick. He called his father to the bedside one time and said, "Pa, if I die, please don't let 'em bury me In the graveyard over on the hill. The weeds are so high and the owls are over there and I'm afraid. Pa, If I die, bury me down in the pasture under the big elm tree. You do come down there sometimes to see the hogs and cattle." And Jim, the little fellow, died and they didn't bury him In the graveyard up on the hill where the weeds grew so high and the hoot owls lived. They burled him under the spreading elm in the pasture. They put a little picket fence about it Jim led me down one day. Lean. Ing over the fence he rained teare down upon the violets and the daf. fodils, and he said, "I'd give all the farm," (and he owned thousands of acres in the black corn belt of Iowa) he said, "BUI, I'd give It all if I could only bring him back and let him hear ne pray."

body challenged said,, the statement, and "What's the matter with your bro ther-in-law. the professor?" He said, "He's like the rest of the bunch, and I'll bet you ten bucks that I can make him mad. - The wager was made. These two men had a business transaction and the doctor purposely falsified the- account in order to test the religion of his brother-in-law, the professor, and in response to some question that the doctor knew was a lie (for he was trying to sting him and put one over on him. and the professor knew he was) the professor jumped to hi3feet and said, "You're a liar. Get out of my house." And he drove him out. And his brother-in-law, the doctor, took up his hat and went, somewhat crestfallen to think that so great and good a man had sidestepped, but highly elated to think he had rightly interpreted human nature and was a ten spot ahead. So they went to their homes and retired. Soon the old doe was reeling her off like a Twin-Six, and the old professor was rolling and tossing with a troubled insomnia, and he arose at two o'clock in the morning and dressed, walked four miles across the city and as the sun came trip ping o'er the banks of myrrh, he rap ed on the door. His brother-in-law opened it and he said. "Yesterday I called you a liar. I am sorry I did it. I have come to ask you to forgive me." And he drew him in and said, "If that's religion, that's the brand I'm looking for. and I think I'd better take a good old hypodermic injection of the good old-time, worth-dying for religion." Christ's Opinion On World Problems. What did Jesus Christ say? I haven't time If jou had the disposition to hear all that he had to say, but listen! Jesus Christ said, Forgive your debtors." And the world says, "Sue them for their dough." Jesus Christ said, "It's more bless ed to alve than to receive." The world says, "Get all you can and then can all you get. Jesus said. "Give to him that ask. eth of thee, him that would borrow of thee turn not away." The world says, "Go to the Associated Charities, I subscribe." Jesus Christ said, "You can't serve God and mammon." The world says, "God on Sunday, mammon through the rest of the week." Jesus Christ said, "Love your neighbor as yourself." The world says, "First come I, then I, then I come again." Jesus Christ said, "Him that smlteth thee en one cheek, turn to him the other also." The world says, "Call a cop." Jesus Christ said, "Let him that Is among you without sin cast the first stone." ! The world says, "Choose Judges that know the law and will give a decision In your favor if you put them there." Jesus Christ said, "Whosoever would be great among you, let him be servant of all." The world says, "If you want to be some pumpkins, you must keep a valet" Jesus Christ said, 'What God hath Joined together let not man put asunder." The world says, "I will divorce you and marry another woman and that will not be sin." You lie! The only Scriptural grounds for divorce is adultry. Wtien it comes to the divorce question I am a Ro man Catholic from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. I believe the Bible teaches that you have a right, my friend, to get a divorce on Scriptural grounds, but you never have a right to re-marry as long a3 the one from whom you are divorced is alive. Never Would Marry A Divorced Person. I am an ordained minister of the gospel, so help me God I shall never prostitute my manhood and high and honorable calling to unite in marriage any man or woman that has ever been divorced for any reason, as long as the man or woman from whom he or she is divorced is alive: One dav In Chicago a fellow came up and rang we uuui-ucu, iuu uu, ... -J V 11 . J -v he Tvns dressed III to Kin: nao. on a urt he had a diamond in his Fhirt front as big as a hickory nut patent leather shoes, a Prince Albert coat, Filk-lined, hung below his knees. And there was a girl about eighteen years of age a peach of a girl one of these kind of girls you'd involuntarily turn and look at twice if you saw her on the street standing by his side. So he tipped his lid and said, "Does the Reverend Mr. Sunday live here?" I said, "I am he." He Eaid, "Will you officiate at our wedding?" v . - , I said, "Have you the marriage license!" He said, "Sure Mike!". I said, "I'm from Missouri, come Across So he pulled it out and I looked at it and I said, "That looks good to me." I said, "Have either of you been married before?" ' He said, "Not the young lady; I have." I said, "Your wife living or dead?" He said. "She's alive." , I said, "Beat it twenty-three for you, you lobster." i He said. "What do you mean?" I said, "I mean according to my in

terpretation of the Bible I haven't any right to hook you up to that girl." He Bald, "I have a license here from the county clerk." . I said, "Some things that are legally right are morally rotten. That's one of them." I said, "Perhaps the fellow that engineers the brick-cheese box around the corner will tie you up for a ten-spot but not your Uncle Fuller.' A man comes to me and says, "I have been married and divorced living unhappily what will I do?" I said, "I would go home and get

down on my knees and say, 'Look here, Lord, I've sinned against you, transgressed your laws, forgive me Get up and trot square and go decent That's the best advice I can give you under the circumstances." Now listen! "Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things I say." The Real Essence of Christian Charity. In tho works of benevolence? How much do you give away? I don't want to do anything to despise scien tific charity. I don't care to do any thing of that sort, but listen! That doesn't mean that if a fellow meets you on the street and asks you for your clothes that you've got to yank them off and give them to him and go home clothed in sunshine That doesn't mean If some lazy wop that nevtr worked in his life asks you to get out of your automobile that you climb out and let him get in and . . . j. anve away ana you noi-nooi ii That doesn't mean If you work and save your money and build your home that you've got to move anl give it to somebody no! Listen! A Jew wouldn't speak to a Samaritan, a Samaritan wouldn't speak to a Jew; a Jew wouldn't loan to a Samaritan, neither would a Samaritan loan to a Jew. Not at all! Jesus Christ went into Samaria. There he sat on the well-curb hungry, dustcovered. Out came that woman and he asked her for a drink of water. She said, "Not on your life, you're a Jew, i I'm a Sanfaritan. We have no deal-1 Ings one with the other." "Now." Jesus eaid. "look here, if you become my desciple you've got to loan to a Samaritan if he asks you, the same as a Jew. Give to him that asketh of you and him that would borrow of you turn not away." If a Samaritan came to borrow from a Jew, he gave him the coldshoulder, and vice-versa, but Jesus said, n "Here, If you become my. disciple you've got to give to him that asks you whether he's a Jew or a Gentile." It doesn't make any difference in

Let All Hearts Say, "Christ Come In," Begs Sunday at Opening of Revival "Christianity can no more fail -

than God can fail or than the sun can fail. The church can fail but there is no failure in Christianity for that is of God. "Therefore, we acknowledge his goodness and we pray for his continued mercy and in the name of God we unfurl our banner. "This is God's set time for this city, and sir, you've never seen God's spirit move and work upon the people of this city as he's doing today, it's God's set time to bless, and if this city will fall on her knees before God. if this city will turn from her evil ways, if this city will pledge her love and her loyalty to God, If this city with her wealth, with her vigor and with ,,her power will yield to Jesus Christ, if this city will come over on the side of the cross of Jesus Christ, then

not only this city but the country round about will follow suit and the church will be filled through the Influence of this great city opening her arms and her heart and saying, 'Jesus Christ, come in'."

the world. That's what Jesus was trying to 6how the spirit they should manifest and live. Is'ow I don't want to say anything to despise scientific charity it's better than none but what do you do for a fellow when you take down the color of his hair and of his eyes and the number of his teeth, and you give him the price of a sandwich and you keep the breath of life in him but you don't save him; you send him out to shovel .snow off your sidewalk when you own a corner lot, and you give him a cup of coffee and a sinker. I'll tell you, you don't try to save him. Love will save him. Love Is the divine philosophy.. Some peeple are so darned stingy that they never give away tsn cents that they don't sing, "God be with you till we meet again." I have met people so contemptibly stingy that they talked through their nose to keep from wearing their false teeth out. They'd steal a fly from a blind solder. Last year we spent one billion two hundred million dollars for tobacco. I am not a crank about tobacco. A man said to me. "Bill, can't a man be a Christian and use tobacco?" I said, "Yes, but he'd be a good deal better one if he didn't, I think, and you have more respect for a man that doesn't" You have more respect for my preaching because you know I don't than you would have if I'd come here with a brlarwood, or come in, my friends, with the northwest corner of a plug of Lorlllard's Climax in my cheek and then spit it out and take a drink of water, lou a say, "If the Holy Spirit's got to roost around in a man like that I don't care to hear him." I'm not a crank about it no! no! Effects of Cigarettes On Youthful Smokers,. But here. Cigarettes that are consumed In this country, if laid end to end, they'd circle this globe one hundred and twenty-two times around; they'd reach three million sixty thousand four hundred and ten miles: there are- about sixty billion con-

"I was graduated from five gymnasiums: I can go so fast for five rounds you can't see me for the dust" said Billy Sunday, as he was describing an encounter he had with a wife beater. "I put my hand on the counter and I went over there like a 6hell out of a mortar, and he Jumped backward to grab a 32 calibre gun that was lying there. I jumped between him and the gun and I said: "Don't you move to touch that If you do they T&ill take you up with a dust pan and a whisk-broom." 3fc

sumed annually. Thirty million men and boys smoke. Allowing it takes ten minutes to consume a cigarette, it would take an army of two million six hundred thousand men, smoking ten hours a day, to consume the annual output of the United States. I have heard keen, shrewd men say that they would about as soon their boy would drink as smoke cigarettes. Oh, if you keep on smoking cigarettesthe way you are doing you'll wake up some morning when your brain has run out on the pillow. It's almost certain to lead to drink, they say. It grinds a man's will into powder, racks his nerves, ruins his heart, deadens his sensibilities. You see him going up the street with a hacking cough, a pale face, yellowfingered, anaemic. It's getting to be one of, the greatest obstacles and barriers to getting a job nowadays. Evry young man applying In the great institutions In Chicago Marshall Fields, Cudahy, Swifts, Nelson and Morris, the International Harvester Co., and other institutions is asked three questions: Do you drink? Do you smoke cigarettes? Do you gamble? Therefore, a fellow's got to be passably decent to hold a good job down. There was a time when the traveling man that could put away he most booze and had the biggest! stock of dirty, smutty stories could get the biggest orders. Today that fellow is wearing out shoe-leather looking for a job. I haven't seen a traveling man drunk in ten years'. What Amusement Bill Cost Country n 1921.

Sidelights on Sunday Party Workers MA SUNDAY LEAVES "Ma" Sunday's stay in Richmond was happy but brief. After doing her "bit" at the first two tabernacle meetings, "Ma" left for home, Winona Lake, where she will attend to some of the 101 things all women even "Ma" Sunday have to do. Perhaps shg will be back in several weeks. FRED RAPP LEAVES Fred W. Rapp, Billy Sunday's business manager, left Sunday night for a stay of a week or two. He will, however, return in time to conduct some men's meetings during the campaign. WHO PLAYS GOLF? Who will play golf with "Bob" Matthews? Mr. Matthews, Billy Sunday's secretary, publicity man and choir leader during the absence of "Rody," is one of the most ardent golf fans and "mashie" wielder in this section at the present time. If you play golf, look for "Bob" on Mondays at the Country club links. He'll be there. "Will you?" he asks.

million dollars for dogs. Well. I like a good dog. My favorite is an Airedale. But I don't like to see a fool woman hugging and kissing a pug-nosed dog. A woman must love j something but ,1 don't call a pug dog something. Perhaps that's one reason why your husband isn't more affectionate. Any man with good rich, red blood in his veins don't care to play second fiddle to a bow-legged bull dog. Last year we spent eight hundred million dollars for jewelry. All right! I love to see nice jewelry if you can afford It. I love to see it. . Last year we spent six hundred j million dollars for autos. I wish everybody could afford an auto. I i think it Is one of the grandest In ventions for the comfort the happiness, of the American people. It makes a man forget He spins out into the country in the motor and forgets his cares. I wish we all could afford it. We spent three hundred million dollars last year, for candy; thirtysix million dollars for soda-water; twenty-six million dollars for' chewing gum; we spent more money for gum than we give for missions of all churches of all denominations. Why? "Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things I say?" Personal Conduct Is Final Proof. "Why call ye me Lord. Lord, and do not the things I say" in your personal conduct? I believe the law of Moses was the best law ever given. The law of Moses said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth; limb for limb; the man that sheds blood, by man shall his blood be shed " Jesus Christ in his teachings did not abrogate the law of Moses. He taid, "Love your neighbor as yourself," and if you did there'd be no "pvn for eve. tooth for tooth, or limb tor limb." If everybody loved God and serv ed him. what a happy place this old world would be, and if everybody could do the will of God! Everybody, my friends, has some verse in the Bible that's hard for you. Here's the hardest verse in the Bible for me to live up to honest confession is Eood for the soul "Resist not evil. If a man smite thee on one cheek, turn to him the other also." I don't know whether I have gotten down to that one cheek basis or not. If a fellow would swat me on one cheek, I think I'd clear for action like a battleRhin. "IiOve vour enemies. Bless them that curse you and do good to them that hate you and pray for them that despitefully use and persecute you." If you think that's easy try it out. I'm trying my level best to live up to it. I've got a combative nature. I've got a temper like a sheet-iron stove a uuutu ui ana viiifecj .uv u. of naner and a match will make it red hot ln tw0 minutes. i want to tmnK i m maiving a. intle headway. Ask Mrs. Sunday she's lived with me nearly thirty years, and see if I've changed. If I should happen to get on a two hundred and fifty pound pressure and head out of the yard without orders and run by every danger signal and blow out a cylinder head, break a side-rod and throw a tire and go into the ditch, I'd feel worse about it than you do, but if you think its easy, you get out and take and pray for some old weasel-eyed, hatchet-faced, grimvisaged, cadaverous, lantern-jawed neighborhood gossiper that's assassi-

nating your character and peddling a lot of lies up and down the neighborhood, get down on your knees, and say "Now Lord " No Disgrace, in Upholding Principle. - - Suppose you did turn the right cheek. There isn't one fellcw in a thousand that would swat you, but suppose he t would. Suppose he knoeked you down, suppose he loosened a molar. Jesus Christ could

have had twelve legions of angels to; come and fight for him but he didn t call. I was preaching in a town in Iowa and I was stoDDine at a hotel, and the phone rang, wanted me to come to the! phone. I went and found a woman s voice at the other end. She said, "Mr. Sunday?" "Yes. mom." "Will you please come up to my house? I want to see you." "No. .mom. I'll not. I've been preaching for twenty years and I've never yet crossed the threshold of any man's home alone." I'm not afraid of any skirt on Gods dirt, or anybody else. No, sir! But I want to serve notice on you and the dirty, stinking, black-hearted degenerate, whiskey gang, if I don't live what I preach I'll leave the plat form and I have never allowed a woman to come and see me alone. A woman said, "Mr. Sunday, I want to see you alone." "I don't see anybody but Mrs. Sun day alone. If you've got anything you want to talk to me about, sis, you do it right out here." I said, "I will come up," she begged so hard, "but I will bring somebody with me. I turned to a friend and said, "Let's go up, and see what's the matter. So we went up and she had no phone. Her neighbor had a phone We went in and found a woman bruised, mutilated, print of, a man's hand upon her cheek, hair disheveled, clothing torn, and I said, ' "What's the trouble?" She said, "My husband did it." I said, "What for?". "Because I went to church." Say, you've got a right to say how much that wife will pay for that dress If you earn the money, but you have no right to tell her whether she can go to church or pray. You keep your hands off or God Almighty will pump your old carcass full of embalming fluid! Since when do you run this world because you've got whiskers and breeches? , And she said to me, "Well, what will I do Will I leave him?" I said, "No. You oughtn't to have married the old hog in the first place." I said, "There's where you dropped your candy." And her little boy about two oh, he wasn't quite two years old, came bounding into the room with his cheek all bruised and bloodshot, my friends, where a man had struck him. She said. "Won't you so down and see him?" I said, "What for? I'd get into a fight with him. If you were my daughter so help me God, Id lick him." He was working for the American Express company, so I went down to see him.-. I strolled In with all my Chesterfiel impoliteness, with my suave mannerism, and I said, as I leaned over the counter. "How do you do?" and called him by his given name. "I've just been up in the neighborhood and seen your wife. Everybody's talking about what you did and they are thinking about having you pinched, but I have been stalling them off." I said, "They asked me to come down and see you, so I did. You oughtn't to treat her that way. She wants to go to church; you ought to be encouraging her." And he ripped out a string of right angular, triangular, hair-splitting, blister-mouthed, blood-curdling oaths. He called me everything he could lay his vile tongue to, and if all the enmity in his heart, rankling against me and against religion had been injected into his stomach, he'd have died of black vomit in three minutes. I was graduated from five gymnasiums; I can go so fast for five rounds you can't see me for dust I put my hand on the counter and I went over there like a shell out of a mortar, and he jumped backward to grab a 32 caliber gun that was lying there. I jumped between him and the gun and I said, Don't you move to touch that. If you do they will take you up with a dust pan and whisk-broom. He said to me, "You have no bus!ness behind the counter. I said,- "You are right. Neither have you any business to call me the infamous names that you have, sir," and I said, "and you go ahead and I'd advise you to get your photograph taken because your wife won't know you when you go home in the Red Cross Ambulance." I said, "You got j " " out from behind tnat counter ana come out here on the sidewalk and I'll show you the finest demonstration of mus cular Christianity you ever looked at." And if that gink had come out 1 d have backslid long anough to have licked him. But if I had. I'd have gone up against that verse see? "Pray for them that despitefully use! you and persecute you." It's a hard ob. I m trying my level best. Severe Trials Test Out Our Virtues. Your virtues are best discerned when subjected to the severest trial The hammer displays the excellence of the diamond and the furnace ascertains the purity of the gold. Meekness is a dormant quality until injuries callit out You let your character be blasted; you let your interests be ruined; then it will appear how far these qualities povern and control you. Remember Christianity is a cross as well as a crown; it is martyrdom as well as coronation; it is exile as well as home; itHs tears and partings as well as re. unions. "Why call ye me Lord, Lord and i do not the things I say, my friends, in your home and in your family life? What hiotive animated your marriage? Was it the basis of mutual attraction Why did you marry that girl? Because she was a good looker and could get herself up attractively?

AFTERNOON AND EVENING SERVICES

SUNDAY SAYS FIRST CROWDS DISAPPOINTING Tells Audience He is Willing , to Leave if Richmond Does Not Want Revival Campaign. uULLEUTIONS SMALL Billy Sunday has put it up to Richmond to decide if he Is to conduct a revival here. Either the people will , show they want him, or he will stop the meetings. ' - - "If you don't want me I can get $10,000 from Charlestown, pay all your expenses, and get out If you don't want me I can go. I turned down 25 cities to come here, and it is not fair to me or to the other cities if vou do not support me. .The .West Virginia people want me to preach to the miners there and I can go." Before beginning his Sunday evening sermon Billy Sunday took the audience to task. "The committee promised to raise $10,000 for expenses before I arrived in Richmond, and onlv about $3,000 has been raised " he said Garfield Wincher, a visitor of Cincinnati, who took part in the f campaign in that city declared from the platform after Billy's ultimatum that if Richmond. "Doesn't fill up the tabernacle, we will come up from Cincinnati and fill it up for you." "For the first time in years," said Mr. Sunday, "a tabernacle has not been filled on Sunday evening." iu opening me appeal for funds. Rev. E. Howard Brown of the East Main Street Freinds Meeting declared" that if the money was needed as a campaign fund for the New or Beveridgo campaign the money would be raised in one night and no questions asked. "We sent our orchestra to Tennessee and we raised $6,000 for our baseball park, so we can raise this. We must get under it for Richmond's sake." Collection Sunday The collections at the tabernacle Sunday totaled $859.71 (cash and pledges) Rev. Howard Brown said Sunday night. The total afternoon collections amounted to $556.51 and the evening collections $303.20. In the afternoon the collections were as follows: $20 in five dollar bills: $41 in one dollar bills; $37.50 In 50 cent pieces; $50.75 in quarters: in dimes; $is.20 in nickels; and $2.06 in pennies. The night collections were $143 in cash and $158.20 in pledges. At the afternoon meeting the mem bers of the Sunday party were formally introduced. Rev. R. W. Stoakei .uuuuuvu auituius, cnairma.il of the music committee who in turn Introduced Robert G. Matthews, Miss Florence Kinney and Albert-Peterson. Following a prayer, which he gave because "God was to be put to the first of everything in this campaign." Mr. Matthews, in the absence of Homer Rodenheaver lead the choir in singing "Faith of Our Fathers," a song in which the chorus made tha rafters of the building shake. Introduces Sunday. Rev. Stoakes in introducing Mr. Sunday said that the Idea of a revival had been born more than two year ago at a meeting 'of the Ministerial association at theY. M. C. A. "Our country," he said, "owes Mr. Sunday a great debt He is 100 per cent American, two-fisted, red blooded and ready to do anything to advance his country's best Interests. "There is no other one man to whom we owe so much for the eradication of the saloon, as to Mr. Sunday. He has been called to Richmond to be leader in a great religious revival that I hope may be very intensive. " Following a rising demonstration, i Mr. Sunday said that Mr. Rapp had come to Richmond with an offer from the West Virginia people to stand all of the expense already incurred In this campaign if they would release him to spend the six weeks among the miners of that state. "You would not let me get off to preach there, so I expect you to get into thi3 up to your eyebrows." "I was here 26 years ago with Chapman," said Billy Sunday, and I now gone. Allen Jay is gone, but I have (Continued on Next Page) ADVICE TO MOTHERS FROM SUNDAY'S UPS Now, listen to me' a minute.
