BILLY SUNDAY AGAIN
DEF|ES HIS CRITICS
Tells Audience To Bring
Bibles and Make Them
selves the Jury
URGE HIM TO
EXTEND CAMPAIGN

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. TO-
What Billy Sunday believes to be the
greatest need Of Philadelphia-the
reformation of men--was realized to a
marked extent yesterday. The evan
gelist preached two Of his strongest
sermons, bowling defiance al critics
OF his work and pleading for a more
definite understanding and belief in
religious principles as he outlined
them.
He offered to allow the audience to
bring their Bibles and place him on
trial If they were dissatisfied with his
methods.
With due appreciation of Sundays
efforts to cause an overflow of the
tabernacle spirit into all sections of
Philadelphia, the executive campaign
committee last night sent a formal re-
quest TO him to extend his stay here
beyond the eighth week originally
planned. The hope was expressed
that the revival would be continued
for at least two weeks longer. It is
expected that he will remain in this
city for that period
With only forty-four women among
their number. 145 persons profcssed
their faith in Jesus Christ when the
evangelist called for trail hitters at
the close of the afternoon sermon.
Again last night the men greatly out
numbered the women. Probably one
fourth of tho persons who walked
with fearful faces from their benches
TO the foot of the platform TO grasp
the hand of Sunday wero women and
young girls. AZ this time 592 persons
professed belief i'm Christianity.
Probably this was due TO acom-
plant made by Sunday during the SER
mons concerning women who are
members of church attending every
service and taking mp the place orig
inally intended for what he termed
sinners" Without hesitation he told
the women TO remain at home, on
planning that they did not need his
lessons.
