MANY In TEARS AS
SUNDAY BREACHES
Says that to Do Real Good You Must
Pray Long, Earnestly and
Agonizingly.
TH1RTY-FIvE HIT THE TRAIL

Perhaps 80 per cent of the audi
ence of $500 persons at the taber-
nacles Sunday otenoon were in tears
when "Billyr Sunday preached the
sermon on the agony of Christ in
his great prayer in the Garden of
Gethsemane. Mr.. Sunday insisted
that to do real good one must pray
long, earnestly and agohizingly.
"You people look to me as IL yeu
ate too much and slept too well over
Omaha's going down to hell" said
the speaker. 81 say meet Omaha
with tears and agony; that is the
argument that cannot be answered. Z"
He told the story of an infidel who
boasted that he could defeat any argu-
ment advanced In favor of the Christian
life. A deacon drove twelve miles in the
snow TO that mans home and asked him
TO be q Christian. The fellow cursed at
him and told him 10 mind his own busi-
ness. He did not even ask the deacon
TO come in and warm his feet. The good
man stood in the snow and wept over
the infidel. but finally turned and drove
away i'm the snow.
Confesses Christ.
Years afterward the infIdeI went all
the way to Saratoga. N Y. to confess
Christ TO this same man, for he heard
he could be found there. He said then
that he had not slept through a peaceful
night since that time he cursed the man
that came to help him ''The tears OF
that man standing knee deep in the
snow." said Mr.. Sunday, were an argu-
ment he could not answer"
Again the evangelist pointed out that
the people OF Christ must be active II
they wish TO do good work. IF God
had no more concern about Omaha than
some OF its people have" he said,
Omaha would have been in hell ages
ago"
He told the story OF the lost boy in
Chicago and of the great agony of the
mother until she EMBODIED her baby boy
in her arms at the police station, where
he had had been taken by Mr. Sunday.
Agony over Lost souls.
Right there" said the evangelist, II
thought II this mother suffers SO at the
thought OF her lost baby ooy. I WIN just
multiply that agony by infinity to know
how God must feel over his world of
people lost. / never saw a Universalist
or Unitarian that sweat a collar down
through his concern for the saving OF
souls"
II was announced that Tuesday after
noon and evening the sermon on amuse-
ments will be repeated. Also II was an
nounced that the forepoon offering viii
