Ito Mrs. Sunday:
i've never yet gone contrary to Mrs.
Sundays advice that l haven't found my
self up against 1t. Nell wouldn't take
first prize at a beauty show, but she's got
more good horse sense than any woman
I ever saw In my life. And I think she's
the most beautiful woman l ever saw.

The mother of four children. two Of
whom are married, Mrs. Sunday has
found it possible to spend a great deal
lof her time travelling with her hus-
band at the same time maintaining a
home for him-frst at Chicago and
later at Winona Lake.
A charming picture life Of the
evangelist and his wife is given by
Miss Julia Brandon Cole in the South
Bend Tribune. Miss Cole visited Mr..
and Mrs. Sunday at their home and
giving her impression of the woman
says:
"Mrs. Sunday is a homefy woman in
the truest sense of the old English word.
Plain of face, comfortable of figure n
characterized by a sympathetic smile and
the kindest eyes in the world, her entire
personality breathes quiet efficiency.
'She sat before the broad window in
the living room OF her home looking out
over the lake the other day as she talked
about the coming revival in South Bend
and experiences which the party has had

this from young Billy, and she arose,
hastily to produce the lost traps.
LAS she seated herself again she fell
to chatting about revival "reminiscences.
"'You know about rs per cent. Of the
church membership are women which
would indicate that they are more easily
reached, than men. But in revival work
I believe a mans heart is touched more
quickly than a woman's.
"a woman once reached, however,
will not rest until the men she is inter-
ested in, her husband, her brother, father
or her sweetheart, have been converted
Nine out of ten women have unconverted
husbands and with tears in their eyes
their first request will be that we pray
for their husband.
"sIt is seldom thai a woman will grow
hysterical In the audience, improbable as
that may first appear. Generally hysteria
or fainting may be traced to physical or
nervous condition.

are about the only thing Mr.. Sunday IL
really fussy about.
HE never allows scoffing or argu-
ment during the course OF a meeting; he
just says. two can't talk at once, and
I'm on the job n refuses to allow any
discussion
While Miss Cole was interviewing
Mrs. Sunday the evangelist came into
the house clad in his outdoor toys
and after his fashion entered at once
into the conversation. Miss Cole
asked him among other things whether
1t were true, as had been reported,
that he employees detectives previous
to conducting a campaign in a city.
She thus details what happened:
"That's one thing I wish you would ex-
plain once for all. make 1t as strong as
