an account of Billy and his evange-

The News gives an interesting ac-
count of a "women's" meeting ad-
dressed by the evangelist where ten
thousand women filled the big taber-
nacle. Toward the close of his ad-
dress it was discovered that some
audacious specimen of the genus
man had slipped into the building.
Billy called them "a lot of dirty dogs"
and rushed to the entrance and help
ed to forcibly eject them from the
building, whereat the audience of
women cheered the warrior-evangelist

meeting, alright.
