Eleven thousand cheering, weeping
men, women and children stood on
the pine board benches, in the choir
loft, press boxes and in the spacious
vestibules at the conclusion of the
W. A. Sundays farewell service at
the tabernacle at Des Moines Sun
day night.
Seven hundred and fifty converts
filled the first forty rows in the great
building, making the total for the
campaign nearly $4,000 or more than
one-tenth of the city's population.
Mr.. Sunday, clad in the fur-collar-
ed overcoat he wore the night he
alighted from the Rock Island CAL
ifornia Limited train seven weeks
ago Saturday night, his rubbers and
soft hat on--yes. and his trusty yarn
mittens, stood with his arm about Ma
on the platform.
.'Goodby, Bill" People Yell
He had finished his last sermon to
Des Moines, he had extended his last
invitation; he had shaken the last con-
vert's hand, a farmer lad, who had
had prayed in behalf of the capital
city of his native state.
"Goodby Bill"
Eleven thousand threats sent up
the farewell shout.
"Goodby. folks" and "Bill's" voice
too, was husky.
Come on, Ma, let's hurry; our
train goes in an hour, and the grips
are up at the house."
The form of the evangelist was
seen crowding thru the aisle in the
loft. Ma followed at his heels. Then
went Ackley, Welsh, Rhody and Miss
SAKE. The soft gray hat bobbed above
the stairway for a moment and sank
from view Billy Sunday had gone.
He had finished his work, had led IL,
GAL persons down the sawdust trail,
had preached the gospel of Jesus to
more than half million people. and
now was ready to catch the 1920
O'Clock train to Chicago.
There were few dry eyes in the
tabernacle as Sunday left the struc-
ture. The evangelist's eyes were wet.
Throng at Station.
A crowd of several thousand per-
sons had beaten the party to the Rock
Island station and the scene that
greeted the evangelist as he alighted
from his carriage was not unlike the
one he had beheld seven weeks ago
when he entered Des Moines.
Only the crowd had learned to sing
the favorite revival hymns and they
sang them now with vigor. de
Brewers Big Hoses" Since Jesus
Came into My Heart" Brighten the
Corner Where You Are, and IF
Your Heart Keeps Right" were peel
ed off in rapid succession. Rhody
was not there to lead them and Ack-
ley had come off and left his piano
in the tabernacle to be shipped to
Philadelphia this week. but the sing
ers sang just the same as tho they
were standing beneath the twinkling
lights of the worship shed.
Mr. Sunday made no effort to
speak. He waved at the crowd and
entered his coach. The conductor
gave the signal, the engineer relaxed
the steam brakes, hundreds of cur
ious passengers drew their heads
back thru the windows of the cars
and the long train moved slowly out
of the station.

Mans Record a Bad One
According to all the people who
knew him, the record of McEniry was
one of ungovernable passion. His
father, M. McEniry, now deceased,
who was one of the finest men who
ever lived, had arranged according
to the story, to cut him out of his
WILL and it was only by the interior
ence of the lady to whom the elder
McEniry was married after the death
of his first wife, that he finally left
the man now dead the l20 acres
where the tragedy occurred. In ad-
dition to the story told by neighbors
is that he had openly stated that if
the second wife of his father had not
insisted on his being left the farm he
would have killed her.

Teachers" He placed emphasis on
three points which he urged the teach
ers to stress in their work with the

its OF economy, thrift and patriotism.
AS these qualities were cultivated in
the individual, he said, so they would
become embedded as national charac-
teristics. The patriotism to be taught
was not only that Of sacrifice in war
but, still more, the willingness to serve
the nation in times of peace.
| Ben F. Johnson spoke on What
Business Demands Of the Schools He
made a strong plea for the practical
side Of education, urging the pupils be

banks, stores and industries where
they might learn at first hand.
