The purpose of this law is to make
it easier to convict persons for using

Conan certainly never had anything on
Billy Sunday when il came TO the use
Of the Grand Old Flag. Tonight the
Junior Order Of United American Me
ohanics presented him with silk flag
made Of Paterson silk and Sunday put
81 to its very best advantage. He
waved It. and he flung it over the pull
pit, and he hung II about his neck.
Junior Order, you'll have no better
chance TO show Paterson you stand Tor
the flag than when you stand now Tor
the God that made the land what II IS.
he shouted.
He foated the flag through the air,
and then ne draped II about ms neck
once more. He picked up a little flag
and waved it, IL was a clever effect.
Hundreds Of the members Of the order
hurried down the crowded sisles to
shake his hand. He whipped them on
with the call of the flag.
Rodey helped, too, for he played mar
tial music while the trail-hitting was
going on. There was no measured.
Jesus. ] am coming home to-day. II
was all Onward. Christian Soldiers
and Hold The Fort, for | am coming"
j, was the kind Of music that stirs the
souls Of msN-crowd.
And Sunday got his converts, too.
-Four hundred and three came forward
and promised 10 live Christian lives.
The whole evening service was stir
ringly infectious. An hour before the
evangelist began 10 preach, fife and
drum corps and bands led delegations
through Paterson's streets, sounding
marching hymns:
Winona Lake with William and Paul,
both fiaxen-haired and close in resem-
blance to their father, settled her
self on the platform, one Of the big
cest audiences that has occupied the
Tabernacle vas already worked up TO a
high pitch
Il was Just then that Billy was hand
"a the flag. which he INN diately
turned over TO "Ma." Pm proud Of
being an American" he cried, and soon
afterward he paid his best compliments
TO Paterson by saying:
There's no bigger booster for this
city than Bill Sunday"
lie had almost the whole representa-
lions of the Junior Order com ing up
the trail before he was through. The
band OF the Onlted fresOyIeIldH
Church came in body.
The afternoon meeting was devoid OF
feature. but this morning Sunday spoke
to an arstocratic audience in the home
Of Mrs. j. T. Barbour, wife of the fax
magnate and mother of Warm Bar
bour, the amateur boxing champion.
Sswdust Bill introduced Mel Trotter,
once a drunksrd. and who. converted
now. has rescued many drunkards him
self.
Look 'em over. You'll find the big
gest hearted men in the world are
drunkards and down-and-outers. No
tightwad will ever become a drunkard;
il costs too much" said Trotter.
John R. Mott, jr., student head Of the
Y. VI. c. A.. was in Paterson to-day and

Mr.. Bryan was only able TO assure
