PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March So
"Billy' Sundays goat is not an easy
one to get, as any one who knows the
evangelist will readily admit. He
hates noise and coughing while preach
ing. He is a bundle of nerves, but it
takes something unusual to phase or
dissappOint him. The Philadelphia
newspapermen certainly disappointed
both BILLY" and Ma" Sunday in one
respect and, perhaps, in two.
For some reason unknown to mem
bers OF the Sunday party, the 30-odd
reporters "cOvering' the revival with
one exception, could not be induced
to hit the far-famed "sawdust trail )"
although inducements in the form Of
cOaxing and gentle words were GER
tanly not lacking.
Ma frankly admitted that the
newsaFermen here were beyond her
understanding. ''In other Cities" she
said, radically all the newspapermen
cameforward.' Some needed a little
persuasion and held ut for some
weeks, but they were finally convin-
ced."
Another little misunderstanding on
Mas art was evinced w~1en she

form Of money. She explained that II,

the reporters some little gift to show
his appreciation Of their work ana
support, and that he wished to do the
same in PHILADELPHIA Not having time
to buy individual gifts, gold pieces
were produced, which MA" said she
hoped the newspapermen would &C.

the reporters thanked both Ma" and
Billy for their kindness, but refused
the gift. Autographed photos" OF

In the old days, when coal miners
