BILLY SUNDAY, THE
NOTED BALL PLAYER
And Evangelist, Converts Whole
Town in the West by His Elo-
quent Appeals.

! Marshall. Mimi, March "A city
converted This is the result of the
work in Marshall of Rev. Mr.. Sunday,
evangelist and ex-baseball player. Out

men. women and children-over 600
adults were won over and publicly tes-
! titled to their conversion.
, Before Rev Mr.. Sundays arrival
Marshall was far from being a moral
town. Many of the churches were weak
in every way. Saloons prospered, and
gambling was prevalent. Dancing par
ties were popular. The dreamy waltz
and fascinating two-step are now things
of the past there. Card clubs have lost
all their memberships. Churches are
crowded at every service. The gamb-
lers have left town. ard the saloons
have their speedy finish in sight.
Rev. Mr. Sundays first work in Mar
shall was the preparation of prayer
list" He went about the town and
obtained the names of all the men
whom he thought needed to be prayed
for The list was lengthy, and most
of the cases looked hopeless. Now ey-
eryone on the list has professed con-
version.
Rev Mr.. Sunday made no emotional
hypnotic appeals to his audience. His
talks were plain and to the point Last
Sunday-his last in Marshall-the col
lections at three services aggregated
$2.072.
And when the evangelist left Mar
shall yesterday morning for new
field at Carthage, ILL.,, 1000 people
arose before their usual hour and faced
the bitter cold to see him off at the
station.

Visit Of The Archbishop David
Archbishop son Of the See Of
Of Canterbury is one

visitors who will DO Ut the.general con-
vention Of the Episcopal church which
will b held in Boston, in October.
His coming Is An event Of special in
terest - it ID the first time that the
administrative head Of the English
Church has visited this country. The
Archbishop Of Canterbury as Primate
Of the Church Of England is a man Of
note In his country. He has q palace
1T Lambeth - we'll q q residence at
Canterbury, and can live in almost
regal state. He receives in society q
consideration which Snext to royalty.
The history Of the archbishopric Of
Canterbury is closely linked with the
history of England. There have been
almost 100 srchbishops of Canterbury
commencing with the great Angus
time. Cranmer, who died at the stake
for Professionalism, was one of them.
Laud, who persisted on the scatrold at
the hands Of the Puritans, was another.
II IL expected that the Archbishop will
by his addresses do much to quicken
misaionary zeal, and it is also thought
that he will learn some things from
seeing free church in free state.
His coming will also have tendency
to bring the Episcopal Church of this
country into more cordial relations
with the Church of England.
