HIS enthusiasm about Pater on is genuine.
and before he decided to give up all his time to
getting Billy Sunday to go there he studied
his methods in other places. He believes the
meetings will mean everything for the work
ers in the mills, and adds:
But it is not among the laboring classes
alone that Paterson, in common with other
cities needs the stimulus of an evangelist TO
redeem the backsliders. Among the middle
classes and the wealthy sinners are just as
numerous, although their offences may be Of a
different character
Wealthy women of Paterson are the slaves
of fashion just as the wealthy women OF other
cities ar. They think more Of what they wear
than what they are. They neglect the spiritual
life for the material pleasures OF modern times.
The tango and the turkey trot appeal more
strongly to them than the social welfare Of
the destitute.
He believes in making a thorough study OF
conditions before saying anything for publica-
ton. and he has approved of the above quota
ton.
Except for a few dabs of sawdust here and
there, and the fact that there were more UNI
painted chairs in the pulpit than there will be
room for when Billy clnday is in action,
everything appeared to be ready in the Taber-
nacle when we were there.
A sightseer wanted to know from Mr.. Pol
lit whether there woul6 MT be a railing of
some sort installed around the edges OF the
platform devoted to Mr. Sundays use. Mr..
Pollitt said there would not.
Isn't there some danger" pursued the Wis
itor. who was perfectly sincere in his question:
as was plain to see, that Mr.. Sunday will fall
off the platform, unless some preventive meas
ures are taken? l have heard him, you know,
and | really think it would be we'll to put up
a rail of some sort. know he becomes
very active and forgets himself, and | should
strongly recommend that something be done
Il have heard him good many times my
SELF" replied Mr.. Follit-,, who did not seem
impressed by the strangers remarks, and the
only time he ever got off the platform when
it mightnt have been entirely expected was
when he jumped off of his own free will"
No" continued Mr. Poltt, 1t won't be
necessary to build any fences around Mr.. Sun
