1t was in Chicago as under-secretary
of the Y. NJ. c. A that DR.. ]. Wilbur
Chapman first met Mr.. Sunday. The
~earnestness and sincerity of the young
man and particularly his close sympa-
thy with the masses made a strong
impression upon the evangelist and
led to the offer of a position to travel
with him as an assistant. Those who.
in later days, chose to contrast the
methods Of DR.. Chapman and Rev. Nj.
Sunday often failed to take into ac-
count the difference IN personal tenn
permanent and doctrine Of the two
men. Although they parted company

Chapter vi.

Before w. A. Sunday had visited the
Pacific Garden Mission; before he had
become convinced of the obliquity OF
the life he was leading, there had
come into his existence the element
of what Goethe calls, the eternal fem
mime. In this instance it was persona
fed by winsome Nellie Thompson,
daughter of a well-known West side
Chicago ice e manufacturer.
The exact Incidents Of the first
meeting are not clearly defined. Mrs.
Sunday frequently refers to it In her
talks as having taken place at a Pres
byterian church, but the evidence Is
all in favor Of Mr.. Sundays having
had some interest in the premises
prior to that time, since the Presbyte-
rian service is not exactly the place
to look for a baseball player who
comes OF Methodist ~parentage.
A very little youngster at that time.
now a Chicago business man by name
of W. A. Thompson, a brother to Mrs.
Sunday, ascribes the successful con-
summation of the courtship somewhat
to his own efforts. At least 1t was his
interest In baseball, and his youthful
admiration for the star, Sunday, that
made easier the friendship between
the daughter Of a well-to-do manufac-
turer and a baseball player, who like
many of their class, could boast of no
particular social standing.
According to young Thompson the
beginning of this friendship was back
in 1885. Thompson tells an interest
ing story of how he tried his influence
with his sister for the position of
cot on the Chicago team, a position
which Sunday made possible for him,
and which he enjoyed for a couple Of
seasons
Nellie Thompson had had advan-
tages which were not part of Mr.. Sum
days bringing up. She not only en-
joyed the usual schooling accorded
young women in Chicago, but devoted
considerable time to a study of paint
ing and her intimate friends still prize
evidence of her skill with the brush.
It was during the courtship that Mr..
Sunday was converted. 1t is to the in
iuence of his sweetheart that he as
cribes the fact that he became q
Presbyterian. The ~Thompsons were
Scotch, and Nellie Thompson so adj
hered to the national church of her
ancestors. AS evidence of her in
fiuence on his career, he is today an
ordained minister in q church which
is neither the logical a~ffiliation for one
of his German extraction nor of his
early training Of his mother and the
home.
Just how much the religious convic-
lions of Mr.. Sunday had to do with his
marriage to Helen M. Thompson prob
ably no one will ever know. The mo-
mentous question was asked, however,
and the proper answer returned, and
the record shows that on the 9Th OF
September, 1888, VIM. A. Sunday and
Miss Helen A. Thompson were joined
in marriage by David g. Marquis, a
minister of the gospel. It would
that Mr.. Sunday, In common with all
mankind, was considerably v at
the time he secured his license. This
was the day previous to the wedding,
and on that occasion he gave his age
as twenty-four, and that of Miss
Thompson as twenty. This calls at
tention 20 the discrepancy Of several
records concerning the early life OF

Mr.. Sunday. According to the infor-
nation on file at the orphan asylum.
Mr.. Sunday was born in 1862; accord
ing to the biographical sketch in
who's Who" which is usually very
accurate, he was born in 1863, while
the deduction from the records of his
marriage license would make his birth
year 1854.
For more than twenty years the

ing in the vicinity of Throop and ADJ

friends and particularly with his wife
persuaded him that the proper thing
to do was to follow his conscience and
to enter the field of work for which he
had prayed SO earnestly.
Thus began the struggle Of four years
of hard work on an indefinite income.
A work with varying aspects and ex-
p~eriences; broadening and deepening
his nature; simplifying his outlook
upon life and giving him acquaintance
with the people, and familiarity with
the organization which was shortly to
lead to his exceptional triumphs in
the field of evangelism.

Even In the lapse of the relatively
short time since the marriage Of these
two, times have changed remarkably

These "such people" have 9th
er qualities for us, among them
the sense of workingmen s solidar-
Tty, a willingness to make sacrifice
for the common aim, and persist
ence that never tires.
An Italian strike is known as
one of the hardest Of all strikes to
subdue.
Not long ago the management of
o great branch of one of the most
important trusts in America was
engaged in the pleasant and con
genial task of reducing wages.
1t reduced wages everywhere
until it came to a department.
wherein the employees were Ital-
zen. No wages were reduced in
that department. The management
was asked why, and frankly gave
the reason. 1t knew that the Am
erican employees would stand for
cut, but the Italians would not.
and if one of them quit all would
quit.
| should think that few more
men Of that kind would be quite
an addition to our outfit.
