his example should be a guiding influ-
ence in the life Of every American citi-
zen."
AS the evangelist resumed his seal
on the platform, there came calls from
all parts Of the auditorium for Ma,
Mrs. Bill" and Mrs. Sunday appeared
before the students, smiling and bow
ing her appreciation Of their esteem
She was solicitous of "Bill's" welfare
and after helping him into his coat
hustled him to a waiting automobile
and back to the Bellevue -Stratford
There the evangelist enjoyed a cold
shower, some supper and a short nar
before delivering his final sermon al
the university.
NIGHT AUDIENCE HEARS MOST
NOTED SERMON.
The evangelist awoke, greatly re-
freshed by his afternoon slumber, he
said, and promised to give his audi
ence something hot and spicy" He
kept his promise, and at the night SER
vice { .ivered his most noted sermon
THE Devils Boomerang, or Hot Cakes
OF the Griddle."
Men only were admitted to the gym
nasium, but every seat was filled long
before Mr.. Sunday arrived, and fully
l 900 were turned away. Chorister
was feeling fine" and led
the singing in rousing manner. A
new temperance song, in southern dia-
lect, telling the glory Of being a "tem-
perance engine" was greatly appreci-
ated by the students They sang it.
whistled it, and then, by way Of varie-
ty, initiated the chugging Of locomo-
tive and the footing Of whistles, while
"Rody" played on his trombone.
Mr.. Sundays sermon dealt with the
sureness with which God will judge
mankind, and the fact that God will
never coerce man to do right.
Say, fellows" the speaker asked
do you know that if you fellows would
all come out for Jesus Christ tonight
the Mexican war would pale into in
significance? His words proved tC
be prophetic, although Mr.. Sunday said
his first intentions were against giving
the usual invitation for converts.
Booze, evil women, llcentious prac-
tices, cigarettes-all these came under
the ban of Mr.. Sundays system OF
Christian living. He spared no words;
he called spade spade and looked
at modern affairs without colored
glasses
You can't find a drunkard who ever
intended to be drunkard," argued Mr.
Sunday. He just intended to be a
moderate drinker. He was up against
a hard game, a game you can't beat.
Character VS.. Reputation.
christianity is character, and there
is a big difference between character
and reputation. Reputation is what
your friends say about you, but char
acter is what God and the angels and
your mother know you are. Why, my
was so bad Mt one time that
no one would trust me to hold yellow
pup on a corner for Is minutes, but
things are different now"
The evangelist also commented or
the reasons given for men drinking
Some take it because it keeps them
cool in summer, while others think II
keeps them warm in winter Notwith,
standing this, statistics prove that
booze drinkers are more subject
than others to extreme weather In
either summer or winter"
You came into this world naked and
you'll go out of it the same way" he
added. Your shroud will have nc
pockets, and even IL 1t has. your arms
will be so stiff you won't be able to
reach into them. Besides, it won't do
some of you any good to take lot OF
gold with you, because it would all
melt"
He asserted that he could get more
from little bit OF beef
extract, placed on the edge OF a knife
blade than can be obtained from 800
gallons Of the best beer brewed.
Talking about riches, he suggested
that King Solomon, with his wealth.
could have hired Andy Carnegie as
chauffeur or ]. Pierpont Morgan to cut
the lawns around his castle. Money
isn't all there is in this world, but
neither is beer" he said. Il don't want
to see you students get the booze habit
lust because we are licensing men at
so much per year to make you stagger-
ing, reeling, drunken sots, murderers
thieves and vagabonds."
Favors Single Standard.
The double standard Of living was
bitterly attacked by the revivalist, who
said one Of the crying needs of Amera-
ca was the recognition Of a single
standard of living.
1T makes no difference to God wheth-
er the sinner wears plug hat and pair
of suspenders or a petticoat and will
low plume. No man who deliberately
drugs a girl and sends her into life
Of shame ought to be permitted in good
society. He ought to be shot at sun
rise" This sentiment evoked a tre-
mendous round of applause, and cries
Of "Amen!" and Good Bill" were not
infrequent.
1.-The avenging God is on his trail
and the man who wrecks womens
lives is going to crack birthstone on
the hottest stone in hell, praise God,
the speaker continued. IF we are to
conciliate this unthinkable and un-
speakable practice OF vimparies feed
on women's virtue, we might as well
back pedal in the progress of the ma
tions. The virtue of womanhood is the
rampant of our civilization and we
must not let it be betrayed"
In his discussion Of the effects of
liquor on the human system, Sunday
showed wonderfully extensive re-
search. Medical opinions were quoted
with a liberality that was astounding
and the speakers remarks were inter-
spersed with trite and humorous refer
ences to the biggest fool on earth
