BILLY SUNDAY.-(By N. D. Coch-
ran).-If Billy Sunday comes to Chi
cago next year the people of this sup
posedly wicked city will hear more
about hell than they ever heard be-
fore, thousands will hit the saWdust
trail, and Billy will go back home
with a bankrOll that would make
George Reynolds eyes stick out like
hard-boiled eggs. Likewise, it will
make Sam insult turn green with
envy. For Billy has the gas, electric
and traction game skinned to a fraz-
zle.
Insults game is to get strangle-
hold on the people and make them
come across for the proud privilege
of hanging on his straps - but he
doesn't make 'em like it. Sunday
gives folks what they want and
makes 'em like it. And they like it
so well, the way William hands it to
them that they fall over one another
to dump money in his lap.
Sunday gives people what they
have been taught from childhood to
expect-HELL. And he gives them
the plain, old-fashioned Hell that we
used to get at Methodist camp-meet-
especially colOred camp-meet-
ing. Not the modern, cultured, edu-
Gated, mollycOddle, Sheridan road
hell, with elevators, steam heat, sun
parlors, electric light and all of the
other scientific comforts of home.
Billy Sunday draws the crowds Gull
tured preachers can't draw because

Billy isn't a highbrow revivalist. He's
the real thing. He gets right under
the mental hide of the lOw-brOws, and
that takes in most of us. The differ
ence between lOw-brOws and high
brows is the difference between what
folks are and what they want others
to think they are.
Hell has been promised to sinner
for so many generations that most
of us feel that it's something we've
got coming to us, and Billy Sunday
brings it so close up that we begin to
dodge. He'll get right down on the
platform and talk through a crack to
the devil himself, and then lean over
the end of the platform and shake his
fist at the old boy. One gets the inn
preston that Billy has the devil
scared speeches., and naturally all Oh
the enemies of Old Nick are in SYM
pathy with Billy and want him to win
the big fight.
The cultured preacher will think
Sunday is coarse and vulgar, and he
will think right. But so is human
nature, when you get under the hide,
And Sunday gets under the hide
There's as much difference between
the ordinary church service and one
of Sundays meetings as there is be-
tween grand opera anG baseball
to. Some folks go to grand Opera
because they're rich, and others GO
tn a baseball game because they want
to Some folks go to grand opera
because they think their friends, OF
the public, will think they go be-
cause they really enjoy it-that is,
they go to bunk other people.
Then occasionally they put on
their comfortable clothes and sneak
off to a vaudeville performance to
have a good time.
Well, going to one of Billy Sun'
days meetings is a good deal like sit
ting down to a swell bunch Of cOned

Several plans for raising the needed
money are now under preparation by
the interests most concerned, but II
