The text "Have ye received the Holy. Ghost since ye believed?" Acta 19th chapter, 2nd verse. i Opening his campaign Sunday afternoon Rev. William A. Sunday said: The personality and the divinity and the attribute of the Holy Spirit afford one of the most interesting, Inspiration, instructive, and at the same time mysterious studies In all the Scriptures.. When the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, he came as a rushing, mighty wind, and he hovered over each of 4 Via Arnantont Panrltnafal tcVi f n ers. When Jesus was baptised of John in the River Jordan; out from the blue expanse of Heaven what looked like a snowflake. Asi it came nearer the earth. It assumed j the form of a dove and we are told that the whirring of wings was heard and that the Holy Spirit In the form of a dove hovered over tho

You cannot dissect, you cannot weigh, you cannot analyze the Holy Spirit as a chemist would some substance in his labratory. but we can all feel his power and we can all enjoy the orchard fruits of his planting, for I read that the fruits of the spirit are love. joy. long suffering, gentleness, brotherly love; against such there Is no law.

And if you only knew the inner life of many of the wealthier class you'd know how unhappy and dissatisfied these social butterflies are with their life and with the emptiness of It all and the way they live. Right Kind of Society is Approved. I believe in parties. Jesus Christ didn't say, "When you have a party simply invite in your friends." No! He said. "Go get the poor, the maimed, the halt, the blind, the lame; they can't return the compliment, so there'd be no recompense." You apply the gospel and it will abolish the sins of society; It will drive them out.

"He sendeth forth thy spirit and they are renewed," and "Thou reneweth the face of the earth." I read, and "The earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep." Perhaps that Is what Jesus meant when he said, "If ye -had faith so much as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto the mountain. Remove hence to yonder place; andi it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." . Therefore, when God wills, the Holy Spirit does an act, accomplishes material ' phenomena. No One Can Stop . Operation of Spirit. Who is the spirit of God? There Is no force on earth or In hell that can stand the onward march of the church of Jesus Christ and his truth. The greatest danger, as I see it today, is egotistical self-content. A lot of people don't , give a whoop whether anybody goes to hell, or where they go, so long as they themselves are saved. Egotistical selfcontentment is one of the curses of the world and of the church Oh, death lurks in the poisoned' cup a8 well as "it gleams unon the Mint as weu as 11 gleams upon the point of the poniard or glistens upon the barrel of the gun.

"Come on, Come on," Is Billy Sunday's Challenge to All of His Enemies And I say to the forces of evil in this city that have fed and fattened and gormandized, outraged, ruined men and women and children, Impoverished, Bent them shrieking and screaming down Into hell; and all the good-for-nothing, Godforsaken, iniquitous, rapacious, mendacious, buffoons, mountebanks, poltroons, sexual and moral perverts that have brought them into degeneration, that have cursed and damned this whole earth, "Come on; come on!" ' - My life has been.' threatened from one end of this land to the other by that good-for-nothing, Goi forsaken, whisky-soaked gang, the worst gang of thugs this side of hell. They have insulted my wife and my children. They have. hired men to trail me up and down the country and go aside to the owners of the newspapers. They can't find a decent paper in America that will publish their dirty sewerage until one of them went to one of the leading editors and offered him a sum that: would stagger me, if he would fight me and fight the meeting. He said to him, "You go to hell." He is a church member at that. They have lied about me. In a convention In a central western state, two friends of mine were in where they m,et They said. "We have been trailing Sunday for 20 years; we can't get anything on him. The only thing we can do is to start a systematic campaign of villiflcation. We will say he is sacrilegious and crude and vulgar and we will try to get the ministers not to call him and if they do. we will try and get them to oppose him," and they set aside money to do this very thing up and down the land today. That's their game all over the country. I have put them out of nearly $200,000,000 worth of business in the last few years. I ask no quarter from the dirtybunch and I give them noner None whatever! Now then, let me tell you something. I don't want your money, I want you. They say, "Oh, he works for money." I haven't got a dollar today that the people of this country didn't give me. I don't ask people for one cent for my services. It is nobody's business but the man who gives it whether he gives anything or not. So I have never asked for it. I was offered a cold $1,000,000 if I would appear before the movies and let them take my picture and put them on the film. I said, "You can't do It for a hundred million." Not that I have anything against the movies, I haven't, but you couldn't put my mug on the movies for a $100,000,000. I was offered $3,000 to talk for 24 minutes into a talking machine for them to make records. Not that I have anything against it, but I said, "No, sir, I will not commercialize God's words-' or God's cause."

We've got our churches, we've got our preachers. Why, at Pentecost one sermon brought 3,000 to their knees, now it takes about 3,000 of the average sermons to bring one old weazel-eyed, red-nosed, whiskey-soaked, blasphemer to his knees. Some sermons wouldn't have found Jesus Christ with a search warrant. Now, we've got our churches; we've got our josh-houses; we've got our tabernacles. Oh, we've got the wisdom of the Orientals; we've got tire vim, vigor, tobasco sauce and pepperino, and the push, and the go, and the wealth of the twentieth century. I tell you, I believe no people on earth are better paid, are better fed, are better clothed, are better J housed, are more happy and pros-j perous than those that live beneath the Stars and Stripes In America. A lady came In from Iowa. Sho reached her eyebrows and drew in her diaphraghm, (she was a kind of a cold storage proposition.) She said, "What the church needs is organization." I said, "Forget it.

"It's up to you to get Into this campaign up to your eye-brows. ' "When Mr. Rapp came to Richmond a couple of weeks ago and asked that I might be permitted to stay longer with the miners in Virginia, you said 'no.' He came prepared to pay back to you all you spent, even if it amounted to $15,000, in order that I might stay longer with the mining people, but you would not be bought. And so I am here as your gjiest." ' CHORUS JUMPS When Billy Sunday suddenly turned and thundered a question and exclamation at the chorus, nearly every person there jumped as if he had been shot. CINCINNATI VISITORS Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Winkler, and Mr. and Mrs.-S. G. Chickering, of Cincinnati, visited the tabernacle. Mr. Winkier was one of the vice-presi-dents on the Sunday campaign held in Cincinnati. Mr. Chickering is fire commissioner of the Queen City. GLAD HE'S NORTH Mr. Matthews told the audience that Billy Sunday had been telling Southerners for so long that he was a Republican, that he was glad of a chance to be able to say it up North where it would be applauded. GLAD OF SUNSHINE "This Is the sunshiniest day, the sunshiniest tabernacle and the sunshiniest audience I have seen in a long time," said Mr. Matthews.

Drop into an average young people's meeting and the leader says in a weak, negative, falsetto, apologetic, sissified sort of mannerism, "This Is a splendid topic this evening. I have

been so busy I haven't had time for preparation." It's superfluous to say that it wouldn't take the bunch long to una ne's all in. "I hope you will feel free to take part." Somebody gets up and reads a poem from the Christian Endeavor Herald and then along comes someone and says. Let's sing No. 32," and they sing, "Oh, to be Nothing, Nothing; Only to Sit at His feet." Two-thirds of them are like x In Algebra. Someone says, "Let's sing No. 84." They all get up and sing, "Throw Out the Life Line, Throw Out the Life Line," when they haven't got strength enough to put tip a clothes line. Then a long pause and I hear the organ pealing that prelude and then, "Let us arise and repeat our benediction and be adjourned." "The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent, one from another." , Yes, and God's got a hard job on his hand! Did you ever hear anything like

It may take some of the good hard clapboard raps of the gospel to dislodga it but I have come as your friend to help you and I hope I might, lest it choke out every spark of manhood and womanhood in the world. Many of our young men will splutter, splurge, spend their daddy' fortune, engage in four hours' conversation and never utter a sensible sentence, spend their money on fast women and wine, haven't brains enough to amuse and entertain a playful kitten; and many of our girls oh, they will flirt and they will paint if you would kiss one of them you'd die of painter's colic. When a little sissy comes in with a dress six inches above her shoe-tops a man can't look on her with a rig on like that and have prayer-meeting thoughts. No, Sir!

And by Joe, I'd give more for one good, God-fearing, pant-patching, sock-darning, breadmakipg, praying mother in Israel than I would for a whole trainload of theso little frizzle-headed sissies of our day, my friends, and the way they are living and how they are going. "Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say" in business? . ' Wait a minute!

SUNDAY SAYS (Continued from preceding page) met my old friend Timothy Nicholson, who if any one does, certainly deserves to live. "Have they taken the partition out of the East Main Street Meeting house yet?" Mr. Sunday suddenly asked turning towards the ministers and the choir. "They have that," answered the Rev. Mr. Brown. "That's fine," declared Sunday, "They are coming along alright" "I have lived in Indiana for a num ber of years, and Mrs. Asher, Rodeheaver and Rapp also live here. So! we feel right at home here. j "The reception- at the station was : fine. I would not have believed that I was in Indiana if you had not been there." "My heart is in the work here, even if my head is not," he 6aid, and then suddenly broke in, "Now who is going to take the collection?" But before that Mayor Lawrence A. Handley. had to give Mr. Sunday a real welcome, and say that if Mr. Sunday was so proud be was a Republican that he (the mayor) was a Democrat Tabernacle Cost $10,449.63 The tabernacle had cost to build $10,449.63, and the 2-3-share of the salaries of the workers of the Sunday party which had to be met was $7,143, making a total to be raised of $17,592.63. Rev. E. Howard Brown announced. "As soon as the money Is raised collection will cease until May 28." Rev. Brown said, "We will only collect until the money i3 raised." "Don't cough out loud," cautioned Mr. Matthews, "If you want to sneeze do it in your handkerchief, to your hearts content, but not out loud. Do it safe, silent and sanitary." "Babies," he said, "were to be checked in the nursery room at the Friends' church, and children were not to be allowed In the tabernacle. Figures show that the best baby will start to cry after sitting still for 47 and 3.4 minutes, and Mr. Sunday usu-J ally preacnes lor 00 minutes, bo tne baby breaks up the whole sermon." Mrs. Sunday was introduced for just a few words because she had to return Monday to Winona Lake.
