Billy Sunday Tells
How he got Started

COLORADO SPRINGS, June IT,
When started to preach, l said:
The trouble with people is in the
head; you have got to show them. So
| worked out fine sermon, | got
the Encyclopedia Britannica, Webster's
dictionary and other works and used
all the fine language could find
But it didn't work. 1t didn't hit the
people. So l said: Lord, I've got
this thing doped all wrong. There's
nothing the matter with anybody, bu,
they have got black hearts, got
out my old gun and loaded it with
rough on rats, dynamite, buttermilk
rock salt and railroad spikes and pull
ed the trigger, and the gang has been
hunting its hole and the feathers fly
ing ever since. I've got the devil
on the run"
This is the way Rev. BILLY" Sun
day. baseball-evangelist, expresses his
reasons for using slang In his SER
mons.
"You know that first sermon OF
mine was like sizzer on the Fourth
of July. The little boy breaks oper
a firecracker, pours out little pow.
der and touches 1t off. Sizz-z-z! And
it's all over, like that. That's the
way that sermon worked. But whcr

And in few moments he was
drawing beautiful word picture in
