BILLY SUNDAY AND

EVANGELIST SPENDS HAPPY DAY

Sunday, Bills brother went to Ames in
a chartered special car. Ed Sunday
is North Dakota ranchman, here to
visit with his brother. He is two years
the senior of his famous brother The
two are very much alike in physical
characteristics and Brother Ed has the
same keen sense of humor and crisp
way of speaking that are distinguish
ing traits of the evangelist.
At Ames the brothers visited the
scenes of their childhood days. Preach
er Bill addressed the Ames students
and inspired them to such an enthusi-
astic demonstration that one would
have thought Sunday could have been
no less than their own particular foot
ball hero. He told them that when he
was kid he chased rabbits over the
very ground on which the college build
ings stood and he told them of his
baseball days and of his conversion.
1t was altogether happy day, both for
the visitors and for the people of Ames
who had not been able to come to Des
Moines to attend the meetings. Sunday
preached to practically the entire town
of Ames in the evening and returned
to Des Moines tired but happy
