SUNDAY, IN PRAYER,
REBUKES HIS CRITICS

Continued from Page One
fore beginning OF the service they began
to arrive at the tabernacle. The huge
structure was filled to its full capacity
when Sunday arrived, II was an enthusi-
astic audience, and both men and women
applauded and cheered BILLY" as he
slammed sin and the devil with terrific
blows
Beginning his sermon by showing how
a Dutch city was protected centuries ago
from the Spanish soldiers by an inner
wall, the evangelist depicted one by
one the "outer walls that men have
bullded up to protect their bodies and the
bodies of others.
He paid warm tribute to legislation,
education, business, the home and pa
triotism. Then he proceeded to show that
the individual is not properly protected
against temptation unless he dons the
armor of Christianity.
RELIGION MAIN WALL
Sunday said all these outer walls con-
tribute to make It easier for men and
women to do right, but that saving power
comes through Jesus Christ alone. At
the same time, he called attention to the
dangers which men of means, education
and comfort run In abusing their power
II they disregard the religion, ethics and
morality of Christianity.
Sunday related the sadness and destruc-
ton that have come to those who had all
the opportunities that education, the
home, legislation and business could
give, and yet lived carelss religious lives.
Character, real Christian character. was
the main thing he was exhorting every
person to embrace. True Christian char
acter he asserted, will stand when all
these outer walls have crumbled into
dust" While admitting that poverty
often leads men to sin, Sunday also
showed how wealth also leads to the
same end and insisted that every person
In all walks of life should above all strive
to be real, true, honest Christians.
"1f every man in America were q
genuine Christian" BILLY" shouted, I'VE
could dispense with the outer wall of
legislation, for it is because the prnci-
pies of Christianity are not accepted and
lived out that we need police jais, peni-
tentiares, electric chairs and scafolds.
CHRISTIANITY AND PEACE.
'If every man in America was a gen.
uine Christian. even though we lacked
the wall of education. it would be found
that the Ignorance of a man who is
Christian would not be as fruitful a soil
for the seeds of wickedness as ignorance
TO feed upon. If every man were a

GIBBoNEY AGAIN AFTER BILLY
Tells Sunday He Uses Same Logic To-
ward Liquor as Trimmers.


ward Liquor as Trimmers.
Numerous reasons why the liquor dealer
should be reimbursed by the State If
driven out of business were given by D.
Clarence Gibboney in a second letter sent
today to "Billy" Sunday. The evangelist
made no reply in writing to Mr.. Glib
boney's first letter. but in the course of
one of his sermons declared that the
proposition was absurd. and pointed out
that rum was at the bottom of most vice
and crime
In the letter. Mr.. Gibboney asserts,
rum as a vice is entirely within the realm
of morals, but rum as a legalized busi-
ness is a question for all citizens, and
as a legal business is properly within
the bounds of law and of compensation.
In part, the letter reads:
'You say yoG favor local option as a
possible step to temperance for some To-
calitles, reason which you admit Is
assigned by the wnisky-voting elder,
deacon and vestryman for supporting the
present laws regulating the liquor busi-
ness. In fact. Mr.. Sunday, don't you see
that this Is the same sort of logic and
the same reason given by every lodging,
trimming. evasive whisky-voting church
member for 200 years? And II you think
the LIQUOR business should be in hell, why
do you favor a law which, in its practical
application, will simply mean putting hell
around tine State Of Pennsylvania In
convenient spots?

little crowd of people who were waiting

he was totally unaccustomed. Two very
handsome motorcars were drawn up
against the curb. and behind them

proving eonclusiyely that the young ladies
Of the Atlas Theatre were popular in other
than purely theatrical circles.
The handful of young men by whom
Tavernake was surrounded were of a
genus unknown to him. They were all
dressed exactly alike. they all seemed to
breathe the same atmosphere. to exhibit
the same indifference toward the other

BOSTON GETS REVIVAL.
The big delegation Of Boston clergy
men and laymen won Sunday this morn
ing The evangelist announced, after
lengthy conference, that he would In
wade the city of culture and beans In
October, 1915. Because of the difficulty in
taking care of the vast crowds that have
tried to hear him In this city, Billy de-
cided to longthen the Boston revival cam
palgn and make It longer than the cam
ably remain in Boston about three
months.
II was with regret that the visitors from
New England learned that they could not
obtain the services of the evangelist
sooner than the autumn of 1915.
The Rev. DR.. Cortland Myers, pastor
of the fremont Baptist Temple, as the
spokesman for about 80 of the delegates,
told BILLY" and Ma" Sunday that the
al, oh In
and around Boston, and that they felt
there was so much need OF a Sunday re-
vival in that city that they desired him
to conduct campaign there as soon as
possible,
The Rev. DR.. George L. Cady. of Dor
chester, also spoke and explained that
there was quite bit of opposition TO be
overcome. However, he said, the deleEa-
ton represented the majority of the
churches.
Sunday told them that he was not
afraid of the opposition, providing that
the majority of the churches we're with
him and their pastors and members had
the proper spirit. He urged them to get
busy and arouse such a spirit and to
select site for tabernacle at once
The Philadelphia tabernacle, he said, was
the best one he had ever seen and he
urged the Bostonians to erect similar
one for their campaign.
Mr. and Mrs. Sunday visited e. A. Van
Valkenburg and presented him with
beautiful bouquet of flowers in the Uni
versity Hospital, this morning. Mr.. Van
Valkenburg Is convalesclng from an
operation for appendicitis
Tonight "Billy" will be the guest OF
the Philadelphia newspaper men at the
Pen and Pencil Club. He will give a
brief talk This meeting will be for men,
bers of the club only.
City Treasurer William McCoach, his
son David and about 100 members of the
Both Ward Republican Club were among
the PAS men and women who "hit the
trail' at the close of Sundays sermon
last night. Sunday preached on THE
Atonement."

Boil large potatoes until nesocIy done, take out, peel and slice. Put in a baking pan, sprinkle each layer with sugar and spread with butter, also grated nutmeg or orange peel; add a small quantity of water and place in the oven to brown.
 Scrape and cut in short pieces. Place in an iron or granite kettle in just enough boiling water to prevent burning; at the same time /add a large lump of butter and some sugar. There should be enough butter to form a gravy, as the water boils away when the potatoes are tender. Add a little salt after the potatoes have cooked 20 minutes

GOES WITH HIM TO GAMES

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 Is it proper if a boy takes a young girl to- church or entertainments and there's no ushers for him to go first, take lead for a seat, or girl to go first pick out seat to suit her? I go steady with a youth. The other evening an other school friend asked formy com pany to a ball game. I accepted the invitation. He brought me home after the game. Was this an injustice to the first boy? When a youth takes a girl, to a lawn social is she to stay around with him all the evening or half the evening and go around with others? Thanks in advance for opin- ion.
 HAPPY P. c. X l. If there are no ushers, the young man leads first for a seat which she takes g. It is not an injustice to a youth to pass some of your time with another young companion. 3. At lawn social, you remain little while by your escort, then go socially with others a while.

LAURA JEAN LIBBY'S DAILY TALKS ON HEART TOPICS Copyrighted Mcclure Newspaper
TO TELL SHE
 CANNOT LOVE HIM
Dear Miss LibbeY:.

Dear Miss Libbey:- My brothers friend asked to come and see me. For friendship sake I told him yes. He went home. We corresponded. Four weeks later he returned; keeps coming every four weeks, 75 miles on the train. He bring me nice presents. ring, bracelet, or handkerchief. Says. he loves me with all his heart, never any other girl for him. Cannot love* him, just respect him. Nothing against him. Ought not to let him think so much of me; give me presents How am to tell him so, not to offend for brothers s sake, please?
 BS.
 It must be that he is too considerate, comes too long a distance, and makes too generous gifts, to- be appreciated. There are a good many girls who would rejoice to have a, lover of that kind. If you cannot love him, do not take up precious time. Look further and may you fare better with one just the opposite in all respects.

PACIFIC SALMON ON THE ATLANTIC COAST

Numerous reports have been re- ceived by the. Bureau of Fisheries confirming early indications that a established on the coast of Maine. The fish that have been observed are the first results of plants made in February, 1914. The humpback sal mon is a rapid grower, and attains full maturity in two years. For this reason, and because of it's high value as a food fish when taken in salt water or when fresh run from the sea, the bureau selected this species for introduction into selected New England streams Many fish weigh ing to 2 1S pounds have been taken or seen in Penobscot river, Maine, and 20 were captured alive by agents of the bureau near Bangor and held in an effort to obtain ripe eggs. From on Sept. 6 and, after fertilization sent to the Craig Brook hatchery for in cubafion. Accounts of the appear ance of this new fish in various minor rivers have come in. and in the FDennys river there was a noteworthy run which began as early as Aug. Is and was continuing late as Sept. 24. The local fishermen caught and ate large numbers ,and during the week of Sept. 20 an employee of the Green Lake hatchery took IS fish (eight males and seven femaIes) which had passed through the fish ways in dams in Dennys river and we're dropping down stream in spent condition; at the same time both live and dead fish were observed below the dams.
