Evangelist William A Sunday. asking
to be released from his engagement to
hold meetings in Galesburg this fall
Sunday was asked to wait until after
Gypsy Smiths meetings. now in pro-
gress. before making his final decision.
In letter TO friend Sunday says:
Il have written that | will not go to
Galesburg and follow so strong a
speaker as Gypsy Smith. have stead
fastly refused other towns for the
same reason.
The arrangements with me were
made long before any date with Mr..
Smith There are hundreds of towns
that have never had union meetings,
so | give my time to them"
Friends think Sunday is actuated by
belief that he can accomplish more
in towns where no union revival has
been held.
