BILLY SUNDAYS TOUGHEST TASK

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 On beginning a revival in Philadelphia, the Rev. Billy Sunday himself promised that he would wake up that town. De- scribing the evangelist as a combina- ton of D. L. Moody Sam Jones and John B. Cough Bishop Berry, resident mem Der of the Methodist Episcopate, promised that his work would correct much bad public sentiment and stir a sluggish good public sentiment' that when he has finished Philadelphia will be more hon est more orderly, more united against political graft and grafters, more intense- ly indignant at industrial injustice"
 So it seems that Billy has attacked the greatest task of his life, that he has reached the critical point in his evangel- ical career. Philadelphia is the third city of America in point of population and the first city in point of sodden machine ridden public affairs. Success there will be success indeed Billys own concep- ton of winning methods is indicated by the following passage from one of his ser- mons:
 Come on, you forces of evil in Phila- delphia that have made the church doormat to wipe your dirty feet upon! Come on, you triple extract of infamy! Come on, you assassins of character! Come on, you defamers of God and ene- mics of His church. Come on. you bull necked, beetle- browed. hog -jowled, peanut brained, weasel-eyed fourfiushers, false alarms and excess baggage! In the name of Almighty God I challenge and defy you! I'm here for nine weeks Come on, and I'll deliver the goods. express pre- paid!
 So far as plant. helpful accessories and organization are concerned, everything is in his favor. A tabernacle seating 20000 has been specially built for him at a cost of s1S.000. The power of publicity is ex- erted unstintedly in his behalf If he is able to provide Philadelphia with a new conscience-if he does no more than wake up the old town-the country will mako a new appraisal of the Billy Sunday po- tentialities.

Great Musical season

"Birming gham is hearing much fine music this season." said an old mem- Der of. the musical set.
 "As for artist recitals-local play = CTS and outside talent and chorus works by local organization-this is by far Birmingham's greatest musical sea- son. When it closes we will have had fully 25 artist recitals.
 "There will be many strong attrac- tions between now and Easter the biggest, of course, being the Dam rosch orchestra in a symphony pro- sramme on the afternoon of April 19 and at night of the same date in q mixed programme in conjunction with the festival chorus.
 One of the earlier attractions will be the Treble Clef club, Rienzo Thomas, director, in complimentary concert on Monday night, February s, with MT Robert Dolejsi violin, as special so- loist, and Mrs. C. ]. Severin and Miss Irene Jenkins, sopranos, as club so- loists"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-01-24
THE HIGH COST OF SALVATION

In the February Wemans Home Com panion, the Rev. Charles Stelze, supern- tendent of the bureau of social service of the Presbyterian board of home missions, writes an article entitled, Making the Church Do Real Work" It is a practical talk on the business of the church and how it can best accomplish the work for which it was organized. Following is an extract from his article:
 Tt would shock the average church each new recruit for his church had cost just S37o. .2-if this were true. And most of the members of the church in ques- tion would become indignant if they were criticized on account of the high cost of salvation when it was compared with church in which the cost per conversion had amounted to only $2o. 10.
 It isn't fair to consider the matter of conversion from the standpoint of dol lars and cents,' is the general attitude of the church worker. And he is right. If the principles for which the church stands are true, then it doesn't matter how much 1t costs in money value to win men and women to the standards of the church, whether it be through conversion confir- nation or whatever else may be the meth- or of accession.
 But if it were possible to have each of the churches under consideration so organize their work as to make these amounts accomplish the same results for 10 persons instead of one. would it not be right and proper to introduce the methods which would produce the best results for the money expended?
 There are some perfectly sincere, warm-hearted people who shudder at the thought of efficiency or system in the work of the church. because they like to do religious work joyously and spontan- eously. They abhor the introduction of business principles that such work is too sacred to be defiled by the commercial spirit
 "The rank and file in the church should
 not balk at system in religious work, when the preachers themselves talk about | the plan of salvation and the laws of prayer and when even God Himself employed science and system in every piece of work, down to the minutest de- | tail that He ever undertook

Prosperity and Parties

some of my republican friends are
 thinking their party will elect Pres 1 ident in 1916 and they are basing 1heIr | ideas on business conditions, assum-
 ing that business will be as slow next year as it has been since last fall and
 as it may be for a few weeks longer, '
 said Leroy D. Hampton of Philadelphia There are many republicans who have got it into their heads that prosperity | and the high protection party so to- gether; but the history of administra- tions does not bear them out.
 Not to go back beyond the tine of
 men in active life, we had very hard times in this country from 1881 when
 until MT Cleveland became President in 1885. The year 1885 was a splendid year in business and there was good deal of prosperity throughout MT. Cleveland's first administration When
 the panic of 1907 came Colonel Roose- welt was President, and there was very little solid business recovery during
 MT. Taft's administration. We had a
 good squirt of prosperity in 1912 when 1 Wilson's election was a foregone con clusion. We Were on the road to pe- riod of real prosperity when the Eu- ropean war started and played smash with business for awhile. Business is now getting on its feet again and be- fore the end of this year we will prob ably see record breaking prosperity. q have always been a democrat and I am sure business conditions would be no better if republican succeeded MT. Wilson than if MT. Wilson suc- ceeded himself"
