An enthusiastic woman interrupted
'Billy" Sunday in. his sermon yester-
day afternoon and, for fully sixty
seconds, filled the tabernacle with
her joyous shouts and commenda-
tions of his remarks.
She was a sweet-faced old lady,
dressed in black and with her white
hair parted in the middle and drawn
back smoothly over her head. She
sat in the center of the front row,
right before the evangelist's pulpit.
''Billy's' theme was the man with
the withered hand who was healed
by Christ. The aged woman muir
INJURED Amen" a number of times
Her eyes never left his face. Finally
"Amens" were not enough and sud
denly she shouted:
"Glory to God! Hallelujah! o
Praise His name! Praise His name!
Her clear voice pentrated through th'
tabernacle and necks were craned to SCI
her. She paused moment and billy
started on with his sermon, but was i'm
mediately- -inteFFaptsa.
Glory to Gods
'Gloryl Gloryl Gloryl Glory! Gloryl
she cried. "oh. it's 80 good to- hav
salvation. Glory to God"
BILLY" tried to talk, but it was no use
sister, you'll have to keep STILL" h
finally said. 'If you want to talk II
have to stop till you get through"
Even this did not restrain her.
''Oh, can't keep STILL" she cried. 'It
try to but the Lord'n have to help ms
o glory Glory! Glory! Glory Glory"
Her voice rose higher and higher.
Billy" seemed to give it up. He smiled
The audience Uttered.
Never mind" he said. IF the siste
wants to get excited, let her go. And
say" he suddenly shouted, If some @
you would feel more glory and shou
more glory you'd do more for Christ"
People around her Gained the goo
woman finally and Billy proceeded.

which have become warped and withere
as q good hand can become warped an

disuse.
1t was the first tabernacle meeting

taken and Billy seemed to take specil
pleasure in announcing that there woul
be none until Friday.
