Commandments.

Billy sunday, the famous hlttem-er-Ick- knOck-d0Wn-
dragOut preacher was once ball player the Chicago
team Coming in contact with the rank and file of the
American people he learned that the slang funny Amer
lean phrases always caught the crowd Finally he became
minister and carried his unlimited wit and slang the
pulpit By doing he has put over the biggest revvas
held in all the world He taksthe talk of the work
man and wOman-he speaks their language and they UN-
DERSTAND They hit the trail for Christ he terms it
and it sticks He makes fun of the minister who is afraid
to speak his convictions about his flock because they
think it might hurt the feelings of pocketbooks Bill
ly Sunday would NEVER say David hit GOliah with peb
ble but would slang it like this: Nov this kiddo David
hiked down the main works of the enemys and swatted
that big stiff GOah the Coco right between the lamps
and then chopped his block off, After that this kddo
David bated 400 in the big league and the big noise
of the whole shebang In the pulpit he sngS slang and
chairs knocks the pulpit down and knocks religion into
the heads and hearts Of his audience and pitches
yels and screams goes wdifed his prayers bawls
the devil of his furnace-bu great Observation-Disclosures
he brings home the bacon and WINS THE GAME
