No Word Against Him Now.

1t has been my privilege, pleasure,
and gain, to know Mr.. Sunday we'll
for fourteen years. He is a devout
Christian. He has great power--the
gift of God-to bring men to faith in
Christ our Saviour. Surely Mr.. Sun
day is commissioned to do the work he
is doing.
In the great meetings here $500 men
and women came out to hear him,
packing our tabernacle so that many
can not be accommodated and over
flow meetings are necessary. On last
Sunday afternoon $500 men-as the
meeting was for men alone-were in
our tabernacle. 1t rejoiced the heart
Of the beholder to be able to look upon
this wonderful assemblage of men.
Nobody now in Ottumwa has word
to say against Mr.. Sunday, whether
members Of church or not. The unkind
statements that go before him some
times into communities where 1t IS
known he will conduct meetings are the
Vaccinations of the saloon. brewery.
gambling and liquor interests wholly
and solely
After he will have been with you
fifteen days you will hear nothing but
words Of the heartiest commentator
for him. Nothing could happen to the
community Of the city of Marshalltown
which would bring so much genuine
happiness and moral elevation as q
series of meetings conducted by my
dear friend Rev. Willialp A. Sunday.
His discourses in the meetings are the
most convincing and powerful that
have ever heard. They are highly en-
tertaining because of the steady en-
lightenment furnished by them of what
should be mans pathway to a true
knowledge of God and His Beloved
Son.

Stand by Him Says Harper.


In reply to your favor of Nov 9th
will say that Rev. w. A. Sunday has
been here conducting revival meetings
for the past three weeks and has ST.
fenced all outward opposition to him
and the good cause he is so strenuous
ly advocating. All of the protestant
churches. including the Episcopalian,
are cooperating with Rev. Sunday in
his work.
He is accomplishing much good and
is raising the moral standard of our
community. He is a hard hitter and
strikes without gloves. hitting the
church member as we'll as the nom be-
lever.
In his attack on all kinds of wicked
ness, he makes some enemies who mis-
represent and exaggerate what he says
and does.
He will do YOU much good. Stand by
him in his work. S. Fl. HARPER,
