way to travel 1 know that 1 am on
the right path and l want them all to
get on the bases and run around after
me. If they do, they will come home
and score for the honor of God and
not get left on the paths like the un-
fortunates who live without knowing
that the devil has them in his grip
This is the way that the ball playing
disciple of the Lord talks This is his
campaign, which he carefully mapped
out, and this is the way he wants all
his fellow men to feel. He believes
that everybody has chance to live as
the Savior intended him to live and he
believes that he is one man among men
who has been directed to preach the
word.

During the course of his spell bind
ing oration at Dreamland, Sunday shot
a rapid fire volley of advice, criticism
and abuse at his listeners that seemed
to awe every one of them. He de-
nounced the average .churchman as be-
ing too full of commercialisnl to pay
any attention to God. He roasted and
toasted society as a siam and farce,
and he said ne was, trying to make
this old world better-to make it easier
to go to heaven and harder TO break
into hell
sunday whipped himself into fury
His eyes turned CLASSY and he all but
frothed at the mouth. He danced
around the stage, took his coat. off and
acted just like he used to do when the
bases We're full and two were out. He
took the crowd by storm and the fur
ther he progressed the more vehement
he became, Probably nobody in that
vast audience ever heard anything
quite like it before in the evangelistic
line.
Judging from the way many Of
your church people act, you would inn
agine that they had a first class PULL

The audience that greeted Sunday at
his address last evening was even
greater than the afternoon crowd, and
if anything, the speaker was even more
forcible. and earnest than on his first
appearance. He was roundly cheered
and the more the crowd hurrahed the
more he roasted and condemned all
