RECEIPTS OF
EVANGELISTS.

Over $4,000 converts in four and
a half years work as an evangelist
is the record of Rev. Billy Sunday
according to a biography Of the base
ball preacher, just published.
The record is accurate, starting with
his meeting in Bouldner, Col, in Sep
TENDER, 1909, and including the re-
suits at South Bend in June of last
year. In that time he collected IN
free-will offerings, $250,360.s2. He
averaged s32s64 a day during the
time he conducted meetings. lie
caused 1902 people to shit the
sawdust trail" Since that time he
has increased his total of collections
to about 100000, and his converts
to 175,OO0.
These enormous figures, it will be
seen. are derived from side shows OF
the gospel, and when it is taken into
consideration that they in no manner
reflect the stupendous outlay requi-
site to maintain regular churches
there is no wonder that places where
the word is proclaimed by those III
love with their profession, without
money and without price, are crowd
ed with the rank and file OF man
kind.

Columbia may be had. The surround

comparative isolation OF the site of the
memorial is no small advantage since
the whole neighborhood can be so
treated as to enhance its effect.

appearance Of the monument.
The statue Of Lincoln will be made
the most important object in the
memorial. 1t will be placed in the
center Of the memorial, and this part
OF the memorial where the statute

its effectiveness. The visitor to the me-
mortal will see only the statue there.
Two Smaller Halls.
The smaller halls at each side Of the
central space will each contain a
memorial, n Of the second inaugural

dress. These speeches will be shown
by bronze letters arranged on a monu-
mental tablet and adjacent low re-
l1efs or decorations will relate in al
