Quoted by BILLY" Sunday and Homer
Rodeheaver "Rody" asked those on the
stage to sing one phrase Of Brighten
the Corner" but he alone had to sing
that portion of the song. The stage folks
did not seem TO know the selection. Even
stage Manager Porter's voice could not
be heard.
Eight men went forward and grasped
MIR. Sundays hand when the invitation
was extended to hit the trail.
Mr.. Sunday spoke of che evidence he
has found to warrant acceptance Of the
Billie as the word of God. He referred to
records Of men who lived before the
last Of the apostles died and he averred
that the origin and sacredness of the
Bible cannot be disputed.
You have to believe the Bible or con-
fess you are an ass" exclaimed Billy"
He said he accepts Gods own word on
this matter, but added that the doubling
one may find convincing evidence that
the warnings ard miracles OF the Bible
may be accepted at face value.

MY Dear Mr.. Sunday; Before you
came 10 Omaha 1 was one OF your de-
tractors and IN my heart I held many
thoughts against you. Since you have
been here have not missed a single

me. to love and love with my whole soul
and lose? For soon you will go away
from Omaha and then will face a blank
wall Of misery and despair. Before you
came into my life I was a man-hater
And now, to meet the one man in all
the world whom / can love and to know
that he can never be mine. 1t Is terrible
and don't know what shall do. 1 an
wretched. All day live just waiting fol-
the moment when / shall see you at the
Tabernacle and devour you with my eyes
while you preach.
I'm this world there Is no hope for me
But beyond 1 will see you OF that 1 am
sure. and It is my comfort. Farewell
dear. and may every blessing rest upon
you until we meet again"

He lay there and sobbed in his anguish
until no fell into a sort of a sleep. Mer

serves the right. to discuss aspects OF
the trouble unhampered by any racial
prejudice, for it has none as far as
