Evangelist Billy Williams Thrills
Hearers In Sunday Meetings
Under Auspices of the
u. M. C. A.
20 A FoRcEFUL SPEAKER
Voices His Denunciatlons Of Evils
That Threaten Young Men
in Thunderous
Tones.

Evangelist Billy Williams made
strong appeal to young men in his
address THE Young Man and His
Companions delivered at the meet
ing for men only at the Y. M. G. A.
auditorium Sunday afternoon.
Billy Williams is a forceful and
dynamic speaker, highly epigramat-
ical and his speeches are interspersed
with witty remarks and apt illustra-
tons. He is known as the drum
mer evangelist and leads no less a
strenuous life now than when he was
engaged in commercial pursuits. He
is an unrelenting foe of vice in every
form and he voices his denunciations
of the saloon and cigarette smoking
in thunderous tones
All the young man needs to do to
| get into bad COMPANY, declared the
speaker, lis to make no effort to get
into good. All any of US need to do to
go to the devil is to do nothing. The
igreat sin of the church is the sin of
neglect. All the rich man did was to
Elet the poor man lie at his gate unre-
lleVeu. All the young men need TO 90
is to get into bad company and make
no effort to get into good Wicked
ness is aggressive, goodness is mod.
est. The sinful man pushes himself
to the front, but you have to hunt for
the good"

Address at Night.

The evangelist also talked to a
large audience at the Trinity NJ E.
church at night, his subject being
Breaking Home Ties" The founda-
ton of this address was taken from
a christian home in the mountains OF

from the home with vividness and
earnestness that thrilled his hearers.
