SUNDAY" ON WOMEN
WHAT HE THINKS OF THE MODERN
WOMAN TOLD IN SLANG
new YORK ''GOINC TO HE'LL"

The following interview print
ed in the Baltimore Evening Sun
will give our readers an idea of
what Billy Sunday thinks of the
modern woman and also show
the "slangy" directness of the
language he uses, which in some
way, seems to appeal so strongly
to his hearers, as evidenced by
the wonderful results of his re-
vival services in Philadelphia in
the past few weeks:
During a quiet talk with the
man one has glimpses Of that
iron base of conviction from
which the fountain of rainbow
oratory springs. AS l studied
the hard-bitten face there flash
ed into my mind Martin Luther's
grandly simple confession OF
faith: Here l stand l can no
otherwise" Something of that
same inevitable conviction must
have uplifted the fastest base

had when he proudly and public

Under half-closed lids the keen,
blue glance travelled to meet
mine. In the higb-hitched Curl
ously harsh voice that has moved
its thousands, Billy Sunday
spoke.
I've no kick against lots OF

"Some OF the grandest, nobleSt
women the world ever saw are
alive and at work today. They
make you think that the rib he
lost was the choicest little cor
ner in Adams whole body.
They're way up in front on the
firing line against the devil, and
they potshot him every time he
shows his head. They've got
God in their hearts, and it's
mighty lucky for the rest of us
that they have! | believe that il

Even in New York, that's
going to hell so fast you can't
see it for the dust. there are good
fine Christian women that ge
down on their knees every nigh
in the good homes they've made
and pray God to get after thei

their lives for Christ and helping

IGooD WORD FOR woMEN's CLUB
Then Billy Sunday paid a
Interesting tribute:
''The women's clubs hav
leiven women a million chance
for usefulness where there wa
lone before. Throngh club worl
the women have learned to tax
