Rev. w. a. Sunday Il Cedar Rapids.

te1aE hap2cS h2rE1lCaE- mere are
at least fen thousand people In Cedar
Rapids who will nerer forget that last
day OF Mr.. Sunday in Cedar Ra pids.
Three times the audiences crowded
i the tabernacle and morning and even
ing there were thousands who we're
turned away The audience for the
night meeting began TO assemble early.
Thousands who came could not find
room within. They lowered around
the tabernaciue looking for knot hoes
and windows to get glimpse Of the
inside. They climbed on the roof and
tried to look through the roof, and 70
hear the songs that were sung and
the words that we're spoken
The like Of this has never been in
Cedar Rapids before, and 1t may be
doubted if it ever win be again. What
many believed was the impossible has
happened In tais city Fey dreamed
that even Mr. Sunday would work
out such miracle in few short
weeks. But few had known the man
ner of man ne Is and the manner Of
speaking he has. Misunderstood, mis-
interpreted and misrepresented he
came TO Cedar Rapids six weeks ago
and yesterday he left admired. APP
proved and applanded. That is the
miracle that has been wrought in
Cedar Rapids. and 1t has been
wrought both because OF the man and
Of what he has said to the people.
1t is useless to call the sir weeks
a revival. That hackneyed word
cannot describe the series of meet
lngs- II may better be called an awak-
entng, renaissance. Mr.. Sunday has
not only regenerated many men. but
ne has unfrocked the conventional
hypocrisy of the churches. The
churches also Will have to begin over
Row that he has been here. But great
ar than his effect upon the churches
and the membership of the churches
mas been his moral influence upon
he community as a whole. He has
penetrated with his influence every
look and corner of Cedar Rapids. He
las been discussed in parlors and he
las been debated In bar rooms. There
has been no place where men or
women could escape Mr. Sundays in
auence. Speaking collectively of the
community, he has made men more
sober and women more virtuous. and
ne has left In this community the
eaven OF better living.
And yet there has been nothing of
bigotry aroused in this city. Men have
treated each other with kindness
and each others views with tolerance.
There has been no hysteria and no
condemnation OF those who have not 1
1elt able to join in the movement. The (
spirit of it all has been excellent.
There have been no excuses. The SER
les OF meetings have been season Of
tolerance. of kindness, of good fellow
ship OF gladness and of hospitality. |
Mr. Sunday may have held meetings
where more people have been swept i
,H their feet, but he has never held I
meetings in place where the spirit I
has been so hospitable or so gener-
,ns. or where everything has been so
All honor to Mr. Sunday, and also
Ill honor to Cedar Rapids
