How Ma Sunday Stayed Happy

Helen Amelia Thompson Sunday (June 25, 1868 – February 20, 1957) was the wife of Billy Sunday, an indefatigable organizer of his huge evangelistic campaigns during the first decades of the twentieth century and, eventually, an evangelistic speaker in her own right.

Pastor Jack Hyles met "Ma" Sunday as she was called. Jack Hyles was born in 1926. Helen Sunday went to Heaven in 1957. So young Pastor Hyles met Helen Sunday when he was in his twenties. I am thankful for both Billy Sunday's and Jack Hyles' soulwinning ministries for Jesus Christ.

My heart goes out to Ma Sunday. Long before she died, all four of her children had died, as well as her husband, Billy Sunday, in 1935. No doubt she lived with a broken heart. I love what she shared with Pastor Hyles, that the way she stayed happy was serving her husband, knowing that he was God's faithful servant. Oh that Christian wives everywhere would take Ma Sunday's attitude to heart, to be a help meet to their husband.
