Opposition TO Evangelist Billy
Sunday and his methods OF spreading
the gospel was overcome, Friday
night by DR.. Samuel S. Palmer. OF
Columbus, o.. who was invited here
by the Detroit clergy TO tell them
about the baseball evangelist and his
work IN Columbus One hundred and
twenty delegates from rs different De
troit churches attended the meeting.
When the vote was taken, all but five
we're in favor OF having their churches
extend an invitation TO Sunday. Many
OF those who voted TO bring him here
had previously voiced their objections
to his coming in meetings OF the Pas
tors union.
Paster Palmer described Evangelist
Sunday as a man well acquainted with
he'll, a Green scholar, n great psychol-
