THE OPEN FORUM.
Deplores the Billy Sunday Obsession"
and Evanseist's Methods.

Editor OF The Washington Herald: I
want to thank The Herald for its words
about the proposed call of Billy Sunday
to Washington. You truly say that the
same support given to our own ministers
would produce a far more lasting good.
tbs prOblematical whether those who
confess conversion under the impress of
physical excitement will continue to lead
religious lives. One can only wonder at
ministers Of God giving their support to
one who uses the sacred name of Jesus
so irrevently and Familiarity. Sunday
says he finds IL more effective so to talk
Far greater preachers than he have had
no difficulty in winning large numbers to
repent and believe. For them the Ser
mon on the Mount was a sacred example
of the way to win souls. 'Tis an insult
to the simplest intelligence to claim that
there are people who would not under
stand religion so worded; that they would
prefer vulgar language and vile denun-
Citations.
This gross irreverence of Sunday af-
fects to large degree any good he may
accomplish. As to his physical perform
ances on the platform. they are mani
testify done to excite his audience phys
iCally. and are altogether inexcusable.
You refer to the amount of money he
takes from the City-money needed by our
churches and for charitable work. l was
told by lady from Wilkesbarre that
besides large number OF presents given
him he took away with him $4,000. His
wife bought a handsome sealskin coat,
they lived at the best hotels, etc. At
that rate his income must be something
handsome. That he gives away now
and then some Of the money in charity
don't alter the fact that he is producing
financial results for himself as well as
gathering in to the fold" I read in the
Baltimore Sun an account Of a recent
address Of Sundays, in which he named
the cities of New York. Baltimore, Will
mington, Del; New Orleans, Milwaukee,
Peoria, and other cities he had visited,
and wound up by shouting at the close
Of one Of his most sensational sermons
that there was little hope that the Lord
will ever be able to save such hell-holes
as these thereby totally ignoring the
large number Of earnest Christians in
those places.
Now. imagine for one moment such vile
and uncharitable language being used by
any Of our ministers or by any represent
alive laymen. What a storm OF disap-
prevail would be madei
Yet such is the obsession about this
man that some ministers and laymen
wish him to come here for a stay of
weeks. One minister. Rev. Jay 7. Stock
ing, I am glad to say, has come out
frankly and suscinctly with his disap-
prevail l would that more would do
likewise THE kingdom Of heaven Is
not won by violence says the Holy
Writ. and reverence Is imposed upon every
human being-''Thou shalt not take the
name OF the Lord thy God In vain"

Again it is victory for the side which at the
moment Of entering battle is able to bring to bear
the greater number Of guns OF preponderating
power backed up by adequate armor protection" is
the comment of an unnamed naval expert on the
engagement in the North Sea. Only very meager
details of the battle at hand, but the British
advantage in gun power so small that it might
easily have been offset by dozen circumstances
connected with the fight. Possibly reversal of
positions of the two fleets would have given the
Germans the victory, or better craftsmanship on
their part would have won it for them There is
no justification for the statement that they lost
because OF inferior gun power.

ship. The story repeated in Washington by

The British assumption seems to be that the
result OF the latest North Sea battle will strongly
discourage future German naval raids on the Eng
lish coast but there is danger that the Britons
will relax their vigilance. The fact that the Ger
mans took fight soon they sighted the enemy
indicates that they were not expecting a fight but
hoped to repeat their Scarborough and Hartcpool
exploit only in greater force and larger scale.
There Is 10 good reason to believe that similar
attempts will not be made in future.
