SUNDAY in EARNEST.
A BASEBALL EVANGELIST Eek.
PRESSES HATRED FOE SIN.
Incidentally he Rakes Sinners Over
the Goals in Language That Ger
tainly Cannot Be Mis-
understood.

Rev. William A. sunday, former Chi
cago baseball king. is bringing sinners
TO repentance IN central Illinois. His
day and night services are attended by
an average OF 1900. and he Is meeting
with strange success. 'rha other night
he delivered sermon to men at Galva,
in tabernacle constructed for him.
In the beginning he asked: How
many OF you viii so home and tell
your wives YOU will be better men?"
Not a man arose.
How many OF you will dare tell
your wives YOU will nos beat them
asain?"
Not man arose or said word
How many of YOU Will quit your
gambling, lying and chea.ing?"
And still no one expressed penitence.
Then came the sermon.
WHO makes the saloon business in
Galva profitable? Is ut your wives? 1t
Is you. Who fill the churches on Sum
day? Is 1t you? No, il is your wives.
Who stand UP and curse before the
children? Is it your wives? No. It Is
you. Who are going TO Heaven after
while? Is it your No, it is your
wives. Who are going to hell? You
are going TO he'll"
The only sound in the great audito-
rum was the sound OF tho voice of the
little man on the stage He ran from
side to side, he called out to those In
the rear, he leaned over the assembly
and threw out his arms as II to drag
every man to the front He stood upon
a chair and, making trumpet of his
hands. called the roll of the wicked.
His earnestness at last began to move
them. The men leaned forward to
catch every word. Then they began to
come forward from far down the aisle.
On the platform Rev. "Bill" was
throwing off his coat. His necktie and
collar found Judgment near the ceiling.
He rolled up his sleeves and perspira-
ton streamed from his face.
"Now will you Gomez" he cried.
"Now are you tired of standing as dis
honest men? Are you weary of bias
pheming your Creator, mistreating
your families and tired Of wasting your
substance and your work? II you are,
come up. Don't be afraid to be men"

They came. They came SO fast you
could not count them. Many were
weeping. Within few minutes 100
men, the majority over 40 years of age,
were packed on the .mourners' bench. :"
Business men, railroad men, farmers
and mechanics were represented.

he continued See what it will do

The following from Hagerstown
paper Is interesting because. it indi-
Gates what might occur in the future,
if the electric light people here decide
to accept the suggestions contained
therein
The plan to furnish electricity from
dam No. promises to be wonderful
success. The statement that machin-
cry has been sent there to be placed in
the old pulp mill, which is peing re-
modelled and fitted up for the above
purposes, is but a small part of the
preparations being made. The capi-
talists who are interested in the
scheme are employing all the skill and
business tact possible to make the en-
terprise far reaching, and it is expect.
ed that within year nearly all the
towns within radius of 25 miles will
be supplied with electric current
from that point.
Martinsburg will get its supply of
electricity for lighting and commercial
purposes, and tits probable that Will
Transport will also be hookedJon. The
projectors of the enterprise have been
in communication with the Williams
port electric lighting board in regard
to furnishing the town, with scurrent.
The officials in q mood to receive
a proposition looking to some salts
factory arrangement of this kind. It
appears that the municipal lighting
plant in Williamsport is not meeting
with thefall measure Of success pre-
dicted for it and if satisfactory terms
can be agreed upon the dam No
service will likely be taken.
1t has also been proposed to connect
Hagerstown with the big dam plant,
and Hancock, Berkeley Springs and
other places on both sides Of the river,
it is said, will be connected up.
1t is claimed that power can be fur
nisbed from there much lower than it
costs to operate lighting plants where
great quantities of coal are consumed.
Unlimited water power is at hand
while the additional cost will lessen
the operating expenses very greatly.
