Give Youfl'Ability and Power To God to Be Used in Making The World Better and Happier Hands Consecrated to God's Cause Achieve Miracles, Declares Billy Sunday, While Hands Grabbing Forbidden Things Receive Their Just Punishment If You Don't Use Your Talents and Endowments You Lose Them.

The text "And It came to pass also' on another Sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man whose right hand was withered." Luke, 6th chapter, 6th verse. Speaking on "The Withered Hand." Saturday afternoon, Rev. W. A. Sunday said: He was not a dead man, waiting to be carried out to the graveyard; he was not a paralyzed man, unable to move; neither was he deaf; neither "was he blind; he was a man with whom it was impossible to do certain things, because he had a withered hand. A withered hand is worse than no hand; it i3 in the way, for it can't be used. I knew a boy when I was a boy that bad a withered hand; he was born with a withered hand. He could not move the wrist, and when jhe wanted to move it, he had to move jQt with the other hand. A withered I Hand is no better than a dead hand; there is no work you can perform with it. There is no design you can execute with a withered hand. You might be a person of great genius ana or great ability, but you can readily see how your genius would ' be handicapped if you had no hands with which to express your genius. For most things, you see, are the expression of thought and. if people bad no hands with which to form and shape it, then you would never know what was in their minds at all. There are thousands of things he would have liked to do, but he could not take hold of anything, he could not shape anything, he was just half of -a man. Only Believers Are Complete Men. You may have a great mind, you may have great wealth, and you may have a" fine physique but if your heart is not in sympathy with God. you are just half of a man or half of a woman. Salvation isn't a matter of intellect or physique or wealth, but without God you are just half of a man or half of a woman, because you can have mind and know all that there is to be taught in all the books, you can have all the wealth of all the world and all the honor, but all those things combined won't save you; while if! do what God Almighty tells me to do, it will save me. So the world can be saved if it will do what God Almighty tells it to do. If the world could do without God, then it was useless for Jesus to come into the world; but you can't do it. So, the poorest, as well as the richest, need Jesus, the ignorant as well as the intelligent need Jesus. The hand is the most useful member of the human body. Without

the hand you cannot execute your; he could and now he cant quit wnen will. You might have all the genius (he wants to quit. There was a time

of a Phidias or a Raphael, an Angelojwhen he could have quit and when or of a Christopher Wrenn, but none i he coJd quit he would not. and now of your immortal conceptions would when he wants to, he can't. That is ever find expression either in marble 'the price they pay! God gives them

or in bronze or on canvass or in great buildings like the St. Paul which Christopher Wrenn built. Your soul might be as full of music as the soul ofOle Bull, Handel, or Paganini .or Paderewski or Josef Hofmann, but it would remain forever still because you could not give expression to it if you had no hand,. ior you coma noi piay, viunu. j ou couldn't play a cornet, you could not ' play a piano. Hand Is Body's Most Important Servant. The hand is the most useful servant of your body. No matter what you bid it to do it will do it, whether you tell it to do right or wrong. Your hand will double the fist, or it win! hold the pistol, or shoot your friend,! or stab your loved one, if you tell ij to do it. The hand will rock the cradle. The hand built the ship; with which Columbus crossed the seas and discovered a new world; the hand built the battleships, the hand built the' submarine, laid the fore8t low, erected the sky scrapers, built railways, constructed your home, built this tabernacle, built your church, planted homes in the wilderness. The hand wrote the Bible. The hand wrote the Declaration of Independence, the grandest docf ument ever written by - the skill of man and it was not without the inspiration of the Lord. I think the Lord was watching Thomas Jefferson when be did the job. The hand made the telescope that goes leaping from star to star and from planet to planet and can tell you the minute when the eclipse of the sun will take place ten thousand years from now; and the sun moves . with wonderful precision and she is never late a minute. The hand can rend your thoughts under the sea upon the cable, or over the land on little steel wires, until they can read a human thought in every tick, tick, lick. The hand built the pyramids of Egypt. The hand built the ark that .saved the human, race from extinction, when God said. "I am going to drown this world because of man's cussedness," and for one hundred and twenty years Noah pounded boards and built according to the directions! of the Lord. The hand committed the first murder, when Cain took the club and slew" his brother, Abel, in the field. The hand held the surgeon's knife that has kept ydu out of the grave, because of the skill of man. The 'hand broke the vase of precious ointment and poured it on the feet of Jesus Christ. The hand of the blackhearted traitor, Judas, reached out and took the price of betrayal, thirty pieces of silver, $15.92 in our standard of money. The hand stripped and scourged Jesus. The hand made the cross. The hand drove the nail through his bands and feet, and the hand raised

Him between heaven and earth: and

the hanfis took him down from the; cross and laid Him in the sepulchre, aid the hand of man carved the sepulchre and the hand of man has tak-i en up the torch of salvation and passed it on down to the twentieth century.. f j "He had a withered hand" but wait! The man that Jesus saw in the synagogue on the Sabbath day had a withered hand. O, haw many, people you find of the same kind everywhere, poor people that' cannot do the things they would. I find them everywhere, In the churfth,. In the lodge, in society, in the home, on the street, at places of business, everywhere, my friends, you can find men and women Just like that, because they have allowed something to come into their life that has withered their womanhood, assassinated their reputation. There they are! What fools they are! Here is a man known as a drunkard, a woman known as a gossiper, some man that lies and swears. What is the matter? The poor idiots havo allowed something to come into their life, and that something has with ered their good name. Now, it i3 useless to sk them to do personal work. Often my friends, the hand be comes useless" because it is no longer used. In Mammoth Cave there are fish without eyes. There wa3 a time that nature made eyes In those fish, but having no use for eyes in those dark, subterranean caves, kindly na

ture stopped making what was notiionK they can't take out a dollar and

used and took it ui and invested it in fin and scale- and tail. So, if you have something and lose it you lose it because' you ? not use it. If You Don't Use Faith, You Lose It. God gives you a chance to exercise your faith; if you don't exercise your faith and use it, you lose it. It'r. true - mentally, it's true physically, and it's true spiritually. The processes of nature wither away through disuse. There was a time when they could have believed on Jesus, but they would not believe, and now when they wanted to believe they could not believe, because in the Interim, they had gotten so far away from God that even though they wanted to -believe they r couldn't believe. And Jesus had given every evidence that He was the Son of God by healing the sick, and calling the dead into life-, and, they would not ! believe, stilling the tempests and all that, and when they coula nave believed they would not believe, and when they would believe they could not believe. All right! It is true of the drunkard. Here's a fellow who would not quit when opportunities. There is not a flrunkard on earth that didn't have an opportunity to quit drinking. There isn't a man in Sing Sing that didn't have a chance to stay out of there if he wanted to. There isn't a woman who's a prostitute, who did not have a chance to stay out of it There isn't a man or woman in hell who did not have a chance to go to heaven if they wanted to. They do me wrong, who seek no more When once I knock and find you not within. For every day I etand outside your door, And bid you wake and rise and ' fight and win. Weep not for splendid chances passed away. Wail not for golden ages on the wane, Each night I burn the records of the day. At sunrise, every soul is born again. ": (Why. God gives you a chance every time the sun comes up over the hils, he gives you ''a chance to repent for your sins, or keep on Just as yo choose.) If deep In mire, wring not your hands and weep, I lend my arms to all who say, "I can,' No shame-faced, out-cast ever sank so deep But yet, may rise and be again a man. Art thou a mourner, rouse thee from thy spell, Art thou a sinner, your sins may be tprgiven,' Each morn I give you wings to fly from hell. At night a star to guide your feet to heaven." Everybody has " an opportunity, everybody, it don't make any differ ence who! I will give you a chance to come down here and take your chances with tho Lord, that is your opportunity. Every One May Help Lord'a-Cause. Now, wait a minute! How many are like the Levites? Oh! there away down in Jericho road they saw the wounded man and folded their arms and passed on. Along came the good! Samaritan. We have founded upon hl3 good actions one of the greatest organizations on earth, the Odd fellows. Those Levites had the same chance that the good Samaritan had, but they passed it by. Had they turned aside and helped that poor fellow, they might have gained for themselves , imperishable renown. Their names might have run down through the world today with ap-

TODAY'S BEST STORY IN BILLY'S SERMON A friend of mine sat one day hit beautiful parlor. He heard laughter Tn the hall, opened the door zr.d looked out, and his little four-year-old boy had gone upstairs and dressed up In his father's clothes. The trousers were away down to the floor, but he had rolled them up, and the coat hung down a foot behind; his sleeves hid his hands, and he had his hat on. It fell down over his head and rested on his shoulders; and his father's collar looked like a horse collar around a midget, and his father's vest touched the floor, and he said: "That Is the most solemn picture I have ever seen. Take him to the photographer and have hie picture taken just as he is. That tells me he wants to be like me." So they took his photo, and when he left home the last thing he put in his grip was the picture, and the first thing he took out when he would get to the hotel was the picture. He would put It on the dresser and look at it. It was the last thing he said goodnight to, and the first thing that he said good morn, fng to. And every time he looked at it it seemed to say: "Go on, daddy; but be careful where you are going, because I am following you. I want to be like

you." plause, and they might have been standing in the same honorary company with Peter, James and Paul. But they had their chance, and, like fools, they would not take it. They wouldn't put out their hands to help. Their hands were withered. What an awful thing It i to ml the opportunity that God throws at your door steps and throws into your face, what an awful thing it is! There are men in India that have stood with their arms extended until their muscles and joints have stiffened and they can't bend their arms and bring their hands against their

Pomes, mere are peopie wno uav f kept their hands in their pockets soj

Dut it into the collection plate. And there are other people that have put their hands in other people's pockets to Bteal what other people have. Other peopld reach out their hands and take a bribe 4nd then turn around and assassinate .somebody's character, because some black-hearted, degenerate paid them for doing it. I think the fellow that will do it is lower down than the dirty dog that gave him the money to .do it I think that! Many Hands Grab Forbidden Things And so lots of people have reached out their hands and they have grabbed the forbidden things of the world until they are unable to help somebody to Christ. They could not .get up and walk down the aisle and say, "I wish you would go down and give your heart to Christ." When Moody was converted, when he was a young fellow in a boot and shoe store in Boston, he was so ignorant that he could scarcely read or write and he could not read the story J of the Prodigal Son without stop ping to iook up some oi me words in it, but he said: God, I have one talent and you are welcome to that." And God Almighty took that one talent and with it he Bhook the world for Jesus Christ. He gave to the Lord what he had. Think of what the world would have lost if Moody had not given God what he had. . How do I know but there are some people sitting out there looking into; ray face- for whom God Almig'-y ; would have made a name 'as imper-j ishable as Florence Nightingale's orj Moody's or Finney's, had you given j yourself to God and not chosen the! devil. Oh! It is pitiable when you! stop to think of it. j "Must I go, and empty handed, j Thus my dear Redeemer meet. Not one day of service give him, Lay no trophies at his feet?", O, the years of Binning wasted, Could I but recall them now. I would give them to my Saviour, .To his will, I'd gladly bow. Must I go, and empty handed, . Must I meet my Saviour so? Not one soul with which to greet him. Must I empty handed go? No, not unless you want to, because there are souls. But Jesus gave this man his chance. He walked into the synagogue on a Sabbath day and found this fellow with a withered hand and he said to him, "Stretch forth thy hand." And all the time the Pharisees were tagging on to him, "He healeth on the Sabbath day." That old harping gang of crooks, "He healeth on the Sabbath day." Jesus Tells Jews What Is Wrong Jesus said, "What is the matter with you, you lobsters?" He 6aid "Don't you lead your horse to water on the Sabbath day?" And he said, "If your ox fell into the pit on the Sabbath day, wouldn't you get him out?" He sald,"Isn't a man better than tm ox or a horse, and if I find a fellow that needs something, I am going to give it to him whether Is the. Sabbath or any other day." And he said. "Stretch forth your hand." So there are some people who would rather go to hell than to save people on the Sabbath day. I have known them for twenty years, that same crowd, but they don't call them x uai iocco vw o no ga c UiUl a chance. He- saia, strech forth thy hand." He might have chosen to refuse to do It and still have a withered hand,' but he did not. ! So, with . this great meeting, God ' has given you all a chance to be remade. Stretch forth thy hand! You say, "I have never tried to speak in ; public." i Stretch forth thy hand. God will! give you strength and pry open your i lips. You havex the spiritual lockjaw. You say, "I have never tried to win a soul to Christ." , Go at it. v j You say, " I've never tried to pray 1 in public.

TEACH YOUTH MORALS ON KNEES OF MOTHER Anarchy la not born In Hay Market riots of Chicago, right off the reel no, sir! Whether a boy will respect laws It determined by whether he will obey at home or not. We've got -49,000,000 farmers In this country who are being taught through the papers how to raise hcQs how to put a few more pounds, on his avoirdupois, and another kink In his tall. And we've got one Institution that has a department for the American boy how to raise him. One college that's got a department for the American boy! My friends, the question of obedience la settled in the home, and if they will not obey their fathers or mothers they won't obey the social or moral or civil power. One of the danger signs of our time la the curse of idle mothers who just board around. They never darn a sock, they never patch a pair of pants, they never hemstitch a handkerchief or put any insertion what do you call those? They Just kind of drag themselves down to their meals and if they ever go out it is to some entertainment, to some opera, to some fashionable dress-maker or milliner; and if they die and you keep it out of the papers, nobody will miss them except their husbands when they get the milliner's bill. We are neglecting the home life today for the club, for the lodge, for the literary, for society and a thousand and one things, sir. Fit yourself to be the intellectual companion of your children. The learning at the school and college will soon fade from their minds, but what they learn at your knees will stick after they have to hobble on the crutches of decrepitude, taking their teeth out and cleaning them dt trie uik. Go ahead and God will give you strength to do it "Never given a testimony." j Next time you go to prayer meeting, you get up and give a testimony. , You say, "I don't have family alter." When you go home tonight, you let your children hear you pray before you go to bed. You say, "I never asked a blessing at the table." Before you eat a morsel of food at the table tonight, you thank God for it. ..Some of you are lying about your neighbors or grumbling and growling and you haven't any power' for God. You get no joy out of your religion. Saul missed hi3 chance, poor fellow! His hand withered and dropped the scepter. David Did Not Mis His Chance ' y David didn't miss his chance God strengthened David and when David threw down the shepherd's crook,, he picked up the scepter, and when the crown fell from old Saul's head, David picked it up and put it on his brow and God said, "David, you are a man after my own heart, I like you." Judas had a chance. Here he stood with Peter, James and John. Along uime mis gang rnat naa no use for n!Jesus nd they said, "We will give you imny pieces oi silver if you will betray Him." Judas said, "I will take it." He was put in hell. He had his chance, he took the dirty money, took the bribe withered.

Characteristic Poses

s Safe v " but they took him and crucified him. If he had said, "Jesus. Christ is on the square and if you pull out one hair you will have to walk over my body to do it" he would have been blessed forever. Benedict Arnold had his chance.. O, the miserable traitor, sold his country, and you speak his name with scorn. He had his chance to etand with Washington and Nathaniel Greene, and with Anthony Wayne. No, sir, he wouldn't do It. He had his chance, missed It , missed it! "O wretched man, with a withered hand, In a house where Jesus taught I looked with pity of deepest kind. For down in my heart, I thought What useless life was his indeed, Then my own came in review. And I fell on my face, for. O, I found My right hand withered, too. Year after year I had passive 6tood. A weak and worthless thing. Scarcely as much as a moment's thought Gave I to the suffering. Until Jesus into my life has come, Now, I see and understand How less than little, I used to be When I had a withered hand. So I come to charge you in Jesus' name, To see that your hands are strong. Does the rich, red blood course readily. Are they nerved to strike down wrong? ' Are they eager to lift the fallen up, -Some loving service do, Look well, look well, look well. For your hand may be withered too." He found this fellow with a with ered hand. He found him in the synagogue, not in the saloon, not the house of ill-fame. He found him in the synagogue, in church. Many Members Are No Good, Say, Just walk through, you.churches and see how many members you've got that are no earthly good. All they are fit for is to help the- preacher count one more when he counts his annual membership. They never pray, never help anybody for Christ, they won't serve on a committee, they won't do anything but Just go to church when it suits their convenience, and a lot of them never see the church lighted up for they never go at night They are letting the world go to hell. It is a God's fact and you know it , Moody said just before he died you know the last time he preached in Kansas City, he had to come home stricken he said, "If I had my life to live over I'd go into a city and stay four weeks and preach only to the, church." And it is a fact that the last five years of his life he gave up to preaching In the church. He said it took him all his life to learn that God Almighty could do through a revival in one week more than he could In two months In a dead, lifeless, fault-finding church. It took him all his life to learn that And ' so here, bring your small stalk, never mind what you have got bring what you have left and let the Lord put his blessing on It. You remember out there one day, a great crowd of people, five thousand of them, and Jesus said, "Give ye them to eat." Thomas said to him, "What are

SUNDAY'S REVIVAL IN SUNDAY'S LANGUAGE If the world could do without Go then it was useless for Jesus to come into the world; but you can't do it. If you have something and you lose it, you lose it because you do not use it. If you don't exercise your faith and use it, you lose it.

- There isn't a- man in Sing Sing that didn't have a chance to stayout of there if he wanted to. There isn't a man or woman in hell who did not have a chance to go to heaven if they wanted to. There are people who have kept their hands in their pockets so long they can't take out a dollar and put it into the collection, plate. Before you eat a morsel of food at the table tonight, you thank God for it. When you go home tonight, you let your children hear you pray before you go to bed. The Lord has given us this great chance to do something that will make the world better and dry the tears on the cheeks of evil. God can take you and put his blessing on you and with you he will confound the wicked and bless the world. Homes are like streams pouring forth their current into the great world, and they should be the center of everything That is noble and inspiring. I think the proper or Improper settlement of, the home question is the most important question in the world. You wouldn't call some of them men if they didn't have whiskers and breeches on. The biggest monstrosity that God

or-the world ever looked upon is a " L" h 4V..- ,..,tv, .i, i- ni, .m,,rHlnunciatlDg roar, Wo to the man who

That fool doting parent who cannot bear to correct that boy. may he 1 compelled to see him corrected in the reformatory and by the sovereignty of the power of the statet I would rather have my boy tied to his mother's apron strings than hooked up to an appetite for moonshine and a consuming desire to steal- the next jackpot. Don't drive the children into the street to play lest the merry laughter will shake the cobwebs from the corners. If you want to ruin your home let your children understand that mirth and laughter must be left out of doors. The average little sissy that hasn't sprouted long skirts-and knows more about the devil and sin at 16 yeacs of age than her grandmother did when she was 70. vou talking about? We haven't anything." And somebody said, "Well there is a little boy here with some loaves and fishes." Sardines and biscuits, or sinkers, as we might call them. And so they sent for this little boy and they! brought him to Jesus and he said, "Sonny, have you any sardines and biscuits with you? The Lord wants them." The boy said, "All right." So they all sat down, and then he took the food and blessed them and I can see doubting Thomas, as he took a little sardine by the tail and a biscuit and he started to break it off. A fellow said, "Ah, Thomas, don't be so stingy, I am hungry." He said. "I have been told to give you that but you've got to show me, I'm from Missouri, I can't figure that out how we can make this go around." He kept on breaking off and it did not diminish. They fed the great throng and they gathered up twelve baskets full. In the hands of Jesus it became a banquet for sf multitude. Let God Bless v Your Work. So, give God your ability; let him put his blessing on it. He will feed the hungry world, and the world is hungry. God took David's sling and multiplied it and he killed the Philistine. God Almighty can take you and put his blessing on you and with you he will confound the wicked and bless the world. Just give him a chance. Give him what you've got. That is what the little boy did. And therefore, - Oh! the wasted hours of life, that have swiftly drifted by, Alas! the good we might have done, all gone without a sigh; Love that we might once have saved by a single kindly word. Thoughts conceived but ne'er expressed, perishing, unpenned, unheard. Oh! take the lesson to thy soul, forever clasp it fast, "The mill will never grind again with water that is past." Work on while yet the sun doth shine, thou man .of strength and will, The streamlet ne'er doth useless glide by clicking water mill; Nor wait until to-morrOw's light beams brightly on thy way. For all that thou cans't call thine own lies in the'phrase "today;" Possessions, power, and blooming health, must, all be lost at last "The mill will never grind again with water that is past." Oh! love thy God and fellow man, thyself consider last For come it will when thou must scan dark errors of the past; Soon will this fight for life he o'er and earth recede from view, And heaven in all Its glory shine where all is pure and true, Ah! then thou'lt see more clear(Contlnued on Next Page)

HEARTSTRINGS ARE TOUCHED RY EVANGELIST

Crowd in Breathless Silence Wfien ounday finishes His Sermon on the Home - Pathos Is Revealed. SONGS STjir FEELING : Playing on the chords of pathos, with a description of the home comin or me Doay of John Howard Payne, author of "Home, Sweet Home." with the chorus gently singing the word! of the song, carrying on the spell that he had wrought over the audience, Billy Sunday finished hia sermon on tho home at the tabernacle Friday night at a breathless silence. Over the audience not a atir wa made, every face was set fixed, on tne ngure of Billy Sunday, while the i chorus, on the last words of Mr. Sundav. brnlcp fnrth in rroator rnlnms the music of that famous song. As the singing of the chorus grew stronger, and swelled into full volum on the words the spell on the audience broke slowly, individuals began to draw deep breaths, and soon the whole audience vwas back again to earth. Value of Prayers. "Woe, woe, to the man", Sunday had shouted earlier in his sermon as he dashed across the platform to lean over the farthest corner, giving a dedefiles his home. Turning his face towards the sounding board over his hedd he placed his hands to his mouth and shouted, "With so great responsibility as thai you must be a Christian." Sunday's descriptfen of a mother greeting an unwelcome neighbor and her children at the door, took the audience by storm. Portraying her actions before the woman, reached the house he then described her kissing the incoming family. , Greets Them All. With loud smacks, ho greeted them all as they stood in an imaginary line, bending his knees grachially to illustrate the action of ki&sirg smaller and smaller children. "There you are," he thtaidered, "she may spank her children1, when they lie, for telling an untruth, ttrot the has taught them to lie herself. ' Then turning hia guns b roared at the "weak sister" whose ffcar of ridicule forced him to leave hit mother's apron strings to become a 2heap imitation of a tin horn sport." ' "But It's the one that's tfled to his mother's apron strings that '.gets the job," he added, and when tli crowd laughed heartily he beamed in his delighted school boy fashion, and chuckled, "And that's that." "A pair of brown spats, and' a soft hat, and a cigaret are as muich abhorred by a hard . headed bi'Ji iness man, as a criminal record," la' declared. Leaving the subject of the ho.me. he turned his attention towards teachers and ministers. "I have wanted only one office tbvt is to be a member of a school board and then I would raise the salary oi every leacner in me Bcnoois; pay mem 12 months a year, so that they could 1: ,, 1 u live, ue btuu. "A man wouldn't live in a town that did not have ministers and teachers, and then we pay them starvation wages." Denounces Dances. "The dance today is the cause of three-fourths of the fallen women in this country," shouted Billy, raging about the platform like a wild man, "And I want you to know right now that I want to fight immorality and Indecency, no matter who it hits." Turning suddenly to the subject of modern woman, he shouted, "When you have individual liberty you have individual responsibility. "And you have no right to use your individual liberty to wear short skirts, and low stockings until your flesh shows so that you are a temptation lu oci j uiau tucLt luutu at juu. "And if you don't want to give your time to your husband and your home and children, but must have a career, then for God's sake," and here Sunday roared his words with vehement force at the seats right in front. "For God's sake stay away from marriage." Two Delegations. The audience at the Friday meeting, fell away slightly from the record attendance of the Presbyterian night, and was about 700 short of Jilling the tabernacle to its capacity of 5,000. Two special delegations attended the meeting. Spiceland, Indiana, was present in a delegation of about 45, while the Kiwanis club turned out about 123 strong. When asked to stand up and be introduced to the audience, they broke out into- their celebratedsong, "I Hope He lives to be a Hundred." As the group finished the song. Homer Rodeheaver asked Fred Rapp, Sunday's business manager, If he could give the sign of distress to his brother Kiwanians. "We've never in distress," retorted Rapp." Challenges to Game. lenge the Rotarians to a ball game, PAftalipovni. cmcrtriictpH that ""RflW could play with his organization, the Rotarians, and Rapp could play with his. "Rapp is a pretty good baseball player sometimes," he Skid, while Rapp blushed. Rev. A. L. Stamper of the First Christian church led in prayer at the opening of the meeting. ' ' In making a plea for the funds to pay the debts on Uje tabernacle, Sunday wanted to bet that he could fill the place at $25 a seat, if he were to have Jack Deinpsey there to stage a fight
