/. The money received In collections
taken at the various meetings of the
campaign goes toward the general ex-
pense of the campaign: that is, steam
er fares. boarding, erection of a taber-
nacle, etc.
2. Billy Sunday does not receive "a
cent of the money taken in sach col
lections.
3. The only remuneration that Mr..
Sunday receives fer his personal work
is through special collection general
ly taken at the final meeting OF the
campaign.
A. In case it is found that the
amount of collections is going to ex-
coed the amount of general expense,
the collections are stopped. In some
cases collections have been continued
and the money devoted to some charit-
able purpose,
5. Should the total collections
amount to less than the amount of
general expense, the deficit is to be
covered by money taken from the
$4,000 already subscribed

q While Mr.. Sunday has intimated |
that he may be. able to come to Ho-

have, after carefully weighing the va
ricus editorial comments of eastern
papers, experienced change OF mind |
and are ready to take part in the sup-
port of the idea at the present time,
