u an evangelist Of rare skill and abil-
ity. He is a ship with n good rudder;
\ steam engine with n good governor:
a cyclone with a column In the center.
He is fearless. brooks no opposition:
. knows no defeat. He is a great reader
. human nature. therefore knows how
TO handle men. He goes at you like
surgeon. but after he cuts you up
knows how to put you together. and
when you get together you feel better
than before. II he knocks you down
you will get up and declare he Is
good fellow. He is a man of prayer
and deep piety: knows his Bible and
has great faith in God. His greatest
influence was shown Mt the pcniten-
siary. He came and has gone. but he
captured the town and left a great
wake behind him for good. Canon
never had such prayer meetings as last
wednesday night. Next Sunday we
expect It to be Sabbath cay TO be re-
mcmbcred In our city.
r. A. ReYNol Ds; Rev. VIM. Sum-
Days ability to reach men Is remark
able. I notice that in the converts in
Canon City the number exceeds that Of
any other evangelist. In some places
u ran up as high as co per cent.
numbering among those who cana
forward attorneys. doctors. hard head
Z ed business men and farmers. Men
liked his appeal 10 their reason. Mr..
Sunday. more than any other gospel
minister that ever met. literally
talks with God" This seems to me
MOOD evidence that the Holy Spirit un-
aucstIonably works through men like
Mr.. Moody. Mr.. F1nney, Mr.. Torrcy
and Mr.. Sunday. There Was very lit
tie self praise in his remarks. Moth
ing of the coming over and over again
his own name such as you hear in some
public speakers. I liked also his kind
words for the Catholics. In comment
ing with others l lind that everybody
admired his love and advocacy OF old
time religion. consider Mr.. Sunday
the greatest living evangelist,
1T. THOMAS. JR.i How can say
what think OF Mr.. Sunday on a postal
card7 He is 10 me one OF the purcst.
most noble men 1 have ever met. He
can preach the gospel of Jesus Christ
as Il IL given TO few men to do. He
lives the Christian life In a practical
real and happy way ms few are blessed
with the power TO do. l am glad to
have known him-thRnkful TO have
listened 20 him. Am honored to have
worked with him for one short month.
The upllft he has given me I believe
xili last tiil sec him in heaven. The
Iapsing he has brought our community
SAn not be estimated. The effect of
these meetings can not be measured by
time. regard him ms an orator. n
ccholar. losician. rhetorican. A
h,lc student. a student OF human ma
turc as an absolutely sincere and con-
scientious preacher and n most de-
lightful man personally and socially.
As for mo and my church VIZ say God
bless Billie Sunday"
j. r. MARR, knew Mr.. Sunday
twenty years ngo at Belle Plaines,
Iowa. He was then fireman on the
railroad. Knew him later In Chicago
when he was playing ball. He was
never bad character. He was one
OF the boys. however. and had a good
time with the other boys, no doubt
keeping up his end. While he made
no profession then to being Christian
he was always ready to help II fellow
out of trouble and no fellow In the
baseball crowd was ever more ready
TO do good turn for another.
A. w. HENDERSON,, MT. Sunday
