recreational needs of the District,

ing the course of his lecture DR.. Nc

vised dance halls in Washington was a
distinct lack, and he showed views of
such dance halls in other cities.

SUNDAY UNABLE T0G|VE
DEFINITE REPLY TO CALL
Says Invitation to Hold Meetings in
Washington Will Be Carefully
Considered.
Promises Committee to Make Known
His Decision Later-Has Nu-
merous Engagements.

If the Christian forces of the National
Capital want BILLY" Sunday for an ex-
tended series of religious meetings, he
will try his best to arrange for such a
visit, but he is unable just now to say
definitely whether or not he can come.
This is the substance of the answer
given by the evangelist himself in
Philadelphia yesterday to the members
of committee of clergymen and lay
men who made the trip to give him the
formal invitation decided upon at the
general conference here one week ago
tonight.
Members of the committee were Will
liam Knowles Cooper, general secre-
tary of the Y. NJ. C. A; Rev. Clarence
A Vincent, pastor of Mount Pleasant
Congregational Church; John c. Let's,
H. S. Omohundro, Rev. Paul Hickok,
Church, and Rev. John c. Palmer. pas
tor of the Washington Heights Presby-
terian Church.
Committee Extends the Call.
This committee met Mr. Sunday alone,
stated the situation and extended the
call The latter listened carefully and
even responsively. say the visitors, and
asked them to accompany him in his
address machine shop employees OF the
Pennsylvania railroad. During the ride
he said he would give the invitation his
careful consideration and asked the par
ty to remain over until after the after
noon meeting in the tabernacle.
At this gathering, says William Knowles
Cooper. there were present large deega-
tions from Boston, Buffalo and Rich
mond, including many ministers, and all
on the same errand as the Washington
party. After the close of the meeting,
which the visitors characterized as most
impressive and at the opening of which
many had been standing for more than
an hour further conversation was held
with Mr.. Sunday at his house. Mr.. Sun
day stated that he has given more or
less encouragement to invitations enough
to occupy him for five years, most of
them from big cities. He said, however
that he would take the ma liter of a trip
to Washington under careful adviSement
and make his decision known later. The
matter at present rests there.
Mr.. Cooper's Comments.

ton as an important center for national
