 His Men to Observe Rules,

BILLY SUNDAY. AGAIN

for any evangelist, Billy Sunday
will an eight-weeks' revival here to-
morrow. The hugh structure was
reared on the Bellefeld tract, near

three carloads of lumber were used
in construction alone.
The building will seat about 10000
people, besides the chorus of from l.
500 to $500 that has been rehearsing
for weeks.
Sunday admits that Pittsburgh has
proven the hardest place he has ever
tackled. But he predicts that he will
convert thousands while here. Stern
opposition marked his coming, Luth-
eran churchmen of prominence,
thousands of citizens and what
BILLY" called the Devils gang"
working separately and from differ

Sunday insisted that the congre-

made his coming conditional on the
closing of most all of the local
churches. He won his point.

Yangtse is one of the principal thor

flows its banks. In the last $500 years
1t has changed its course eleven times,

great loss Of life-on one occasion

Years before Christ, and even during

China was more advanced than that Of
the European or other Asiatic nations,
very little progress has been made
since that time. Several explanations

workers, are not inherently inventive.
and il has further been the policy of
the ruling power during the modern
IRA to isolate China and to discourage
advances on the part of foreign ma
