Sunday a mystery.

Evangelist Sunday has been q
mystery to many people. But last
night, as they saw him stand in
his great coat and talk to them for
the last time, and heard that won
derful prayer he offered for them,
they understood. They understand
now that he had a method all the
way along. He had plan, though
some could not see it and were
foolish enough to criticise because
they could not. but it is plain now.
That he is sincere no one doubts
today He wants to see men and
women saved and he will do any
thing to accomplish the result. He
will run the risk of being SANDER
ed and vilified by the people who
ought to love him best, that he
might help people to see themselves
as they should see. But despite
all the mystery of the past William
A. Sunday is more of mystery to-
day than he has been since he came
TO the city, because of the revels-
tion Of the possibilities of the man.
Three weeks ago the man Sunday
gave the best show on earth free of
charge. 1t was the acme of vau-
deville of religion. 1t is the same
Sunday who flew to the focus of
philosophy; argued in the style of
John Tyndall and pleaded with the
power Of q great advocate. 1t is
the same Sunday who, exhausted
with the toll of a month, last might
had TO fight his way from the Tab
ernaole TO keep from being borne
down by his admirers and friends
who crowded around him to shake
his hand and wish him God speed.
And above all he is the same Sun
day who, by his matchless logic
and wonderful picturing Of the life
given to sin and the life for right
eousnes, has seen l.loS persons
come to the front to grasp his hand
and pledge themselves to follow
the Master he serves. City

About the Money
Mr.. Sunday Gets.

Some people have done more or less
talking about the enormous guarantee
the committee is alleged 10 have made
Mr.. Sunday for his services in holding
the meetings here.
In most cases the people who have
been growing about this feature are
those who never, under any circum-
stances, let n dollar OF their money go
to any religious cause, so others think
Z; Is none of their business what the
church people want to give Mr.. Sun
day.
But here is the straight Of IL;
Mr. Sunday gets absolutely no guar
antee nor salary,
He gets only free-will offering and
the last Sunday he is here any man
can give as much or as little AS he de-
sires
The collections on that day go to Mr..
Sunday and he bears most OF the er-
pense OF the several helpers who are
with him.
Not penny OF any mans money
goes to pay Mr.. Sunday unless he puts
il in the collection voluntarily for that
express purpose on that last Sunday.
So, under these circumstances, it's a
mighty small man who will go around
kicking about the pay Mr.. Sunday is to
receive.

GREAT ENDURANCE
OF Mr.. SUNDAY

One OF the remarkable things about
Mr.. Sunday is his physical endurance.
He puts as much force and energy
into one sermon as the average preach
er puts in a dozen, and Sunday he
preached four full fledged sermons, all
twice as long as the ordinary Sunday
morning service
How he can stand il is a marvel to
all who know how wearing public
speaking is.
He puts a great deal of muscular ef-
fort into a sermon-as much, or more,
than he would put into ball game.
When he warns up he hurls his ar
guments at the audience like a crack
pitcher striking out batter, and they
all go straight over the base, every one
counting strike.
Sometimes he has warmed up so he
has removed his collar and tie, and
Sunday afternoon he also shucked his
coat, going after them like Chicago
pitcher on hot July day.
He has the physique Of an athlete or
he could not stand the nervous and
physical strain he is under much OF
the time.

DEATH OF WIN. BRAEMER

VIM. Braemer, we'll known to the
people OF Grand Rapids as BILLY"
died on Tuesday afternoon after d
short illness. The immediate cause
Of death being liver and heart trouble.
His case was a sad one, all alone in
life with no relatives to take care and
look'after him in old age: aud the only
resting place for the night was a
blanket and a place TO sleep behind
the fire engine stove and the wall.
The west side engine house has been
home and headquarters for him nearly
four years. He was man OF educa-
ton and intelligence and a skilled
mechanic, who in his time was pros
porous and high priced workman.
His ingenuity and skill was ia great
demand in years gone by, when he
operated machine shop. Too strong
a love for his cup tells the whole
story. His remains were laid at rest
in Forest hill cemetery on Thursday,
by old time friends who took charge
of the funeral service. Peace to his
ashes.
