1900 HEAR SUNDAY
Thousands Are Unable to Gain En-.
trance to the Big Tabernacle
on Sunday Evening.

The Sunday revival meetings are in
full blast in Omaha and will continue
for several weeks to come. 1t is re-
markable that within few days after
the meetings began SO much interest
should develop as is now apparent.
The writer on Sunday night was
privileged to find seat in the taber.
nacle even though he had to plead
with an usher in order to gain an en-
trance and to reach point near
enough to hear the speaker Eleven
thousand people found their way into
the tabernacle by practically six
O'Clock although the services were not
to begin until seven thirty o'clock.
Thousands were turned away and had
to wait for another opportunity to
hear the revivalist.
The subject Of the address on Sun
day evening was the Ten Command
ments, and the speaker said about ev-
erything that could be said upon the
subject in the space of the hour and
a half occupied by his sermon. The
language used might be condemned if
uttered by any other person and yet
when listening to the speaker and ap-
preciatin9 his viewpoint, what he said
did not seem out of place. When he
said that he was satisfied that God
was the author Of the Ten Command
ments, and he had no doubt about it.
and then stated that whether he was
or not, they meant so much as applied
to human life that any man VINO re
fused to obey them should be in the

statement His description of the
feast of BelshaZar and the outcome of
the feast was SO graphic that one
could never forget the occasion. His
reference to the tenderness and de-
vOtion OF Mckinley for his mother and
his description of the trip from Wash
ingtOn to Canton, o., when the mess
age came that his mother was at the
point of death and his entrance into
the home on his arrival at Canton
We're something that one could never
forget. In fact, every illustration he
used was so apprOpOs and given in
language so simple and comprehensive
that ii seemed impossible to ever for
get what he said. and yet, it will not
do to say it is the acting or the ora
tory of the speaker that holds spell
bound the thousands of people who
come to hear him. There must be
something besides, and no doubt there
is, to make this man the foremost
evangelist of the world and to bring |
thousands and thousands OF people to
and to seek conversion |
from their sins. Billy Sunday is {:
moral force and a religious factor and
is entitled to receive the honor and
appreciation of all mankind.
Congressman Frank p Woods has
been in the county several days or
sanizing it for next years campaign.
Perhaps he would not express it just
that way, but would say that he was
here to meet the peole and to become
better acquainted with his cOnstitu-
ents, and to tell them that if there is
anything in Washington that he can
do for them to be free to draw upon
him. Mr.. J. H. Kelly, his ubiquitous
private secretary, accompanied him,
and what Kelly does not know abOl1
politics is not worth considering. The
is threatened with oppo-
sition next year and if one of the can
at least, whose name is men
toned, is in the field. many
people here would be drawn in
favor of the present incumbent.
1t is said that in addition to
looking after the interests OF the con-
gresham the chances of Senator Cum
minis as a presidential candidate were |
and that it is expected that |
the boys will give boost to Cum |
Minis. Crawford county republicans
should be delighted to know that they
are to be relieved of all responsibility |

to advise them what to do.
