BILLY SUNDAYS PROSPERITY.

IL will be learned with qualification by those religiously inclined that Billy Sundays income from 27 towns visited by him amounted to the snug sum of s155,oOO.
 It is safe to say that Billy Sunday does not stay an average of two weeks in the places which he visits. If We were tn allow that average. twcnty-seven towns could be covered in fifty-four weeks. or iu two weeks more than 9 single year. If We were to knock off the $looooo and say that Billy Sun day could show gross earnings equal to the remainder, we might then contend Una, this amount multiplied by ten years of successful eudeavor, is greater by far than the competence of the most able churchman would have been if extended from the beginning of the Christian era to the opening of the twelfth century And there were some hummers in those days
 Billy Sunday has made profession of -Iap-sticl theology and religion. and he has. made that profession pay. Be ing a good bah player with knowledge rf men beyond tho average. and with business turn of mind. he has simply commerciaItzed salvauou-not in the way that. his more sedate colleagues of tr. e,a.H usyea.u.. bat in tHe only way g..t H. could
 Thor. tz ao doubt Chat in the first marffa-, -,a.fau- ol a crude spirituality there was ua idea of evangelizing on a camu,oiaf basis ia Sundays mind. It is pretty clear that he started out at first without providing himself with stan or with scrip in his purse. He had faith in tbe implied promise conveyed iu those passages of Holy Scripture which say that the OK should not be muzzlsd which treadeth out the acorn. and that the laborer is worthy of his hire. The novelty of Mir. Sunday methods gave them commercial value beyond the ordinary.
