BILLY SUNDAY AND HE'LL

DILL OO1NDA1 AMI I1LLL
We have received, along with
a number of contributions ridi-
culing Billy Sunday, a couple of
letters asking why we object to
him ourself. even if he is lack
ing in TASTE" one of them says,
don't you think he is doing
good?"
We do not. And we are not
greatly concerned about his lack
of taste. We are not shocked
because he uses slang; slang
may be the vehicle of genuine
convictions. Nor do we worry
about the amount of money he
makes. Nor have his free and
easy conversations with God"
to be quite candid, particularly
repealed US; for we can imagine
a kind of person who might so
converse" with God very seri-
ously and sincerely, and there
fore not Extensively.
Our detestation of what he is
doing goes deeper than his sur
faces and manners; it goes to
the essential spirit of the man
as revealed in his continual,
morbid emphasis on the idea of
He'll.
The word He'll rings through
his sermons like a changing toe
sin. It seems never to be far
from his tongue. The thought
of He'll appears to be ever pres
emit in his mind. Fear, fear of
He'll, is the chief motif Of his
performance. The sense Of He'll
is a waiting, reaching, creeping,
enveloping, concrete thing he
deliberately implants in the
minds of his hearers. Directly
or indirectly, but artfully and as
siduously, he fosters the growth
of this implanted fear until it
bears it's crop of hysteria. There
is a smack Of relish goes with
his utterance of his threats and
warnings; this crude, effective
psychologist of terror knows his
power and exults in the exercise
of it.
If we were a preacher of any
sort, and a man came to us and
said he wished to become a mem
Der of our church solely because
he was afraid of going to Hell,
we would not feel any great sat
isfaction or exultation; it would
not seem to us that our creed
| had greatly triumphed. We
might feel, indeed, that He'll had
frightened a soul away from it /;
but we would not feel so sure
that Heaven had attracted one
to it. A man that is merely
saved from He'll is only half
saved; he has to work his way
to Heaven yet; and he will not
work his way thither because
he is impelled by fear.
To come to it briefly and di-
rectly, fear is the most base and
/ ignoble of motives. Men may
be frightened into conformity,
but never into virtue. We in
suit all the saints Of all the
creeds if we suppose that they
sneaked and scurried into their
Heavens with the ours of terror
swapping at their heels. There
are many myths concerning
deity incarnate, but the instinct
of humanity has always been too
sound to imagine Jesus or a
Prometheus whose courage fall
tered.
The creeds that have endured
have endured because of the
truth in them; and this truth
has always been a courage about
life on earth and high thought
concerning the ultimate destiny
Of the spirit. Fiends have not

With the empire revival comes also the small sleeve and the round deeol- letage. Some of the French design CTS have submitted evening frocks that are high in front and extremely low in the back, but this is not an at tractive line Fashion may recom- mend it, but few women will adopt it.
 Along with pockets. belts have also appeared on skirts, much after the manner that Cheruit employed some months ago. Two or three of them, tiny little apologies for belts, are placed across the middle of the front or back, holding fiat the fullness.
 While all the designers pay tribute to the wide skirt. not all of them are in favor of fullness over the hips For slim, young things there are skirts that are frankly gathered around the waist line and adorned with two large patch pockets on each side. but the majority of skirts are firmly held in until the fullness reaches nearly to the knees, where 1t is allowed to flare its utmost.
 Plaits are universal They are usually stitched down to the founda- tion or held down by straps of ma terial finished with small buckles in front. There are plaits in groups at

regular intervals touching each other, starting at the waist or at the edge of a hip yoke As all the new mate rials are flexible, there is no ungraee- ful effect, no appearance of massed material, which is so ugly on any figure.
 There does not seem to be any law governing sleeves, judging from the variety put out this spring, but be- heath the seeming license there is real order. The sleeve must show the arm, or rather reveal it's shape. The style chosen to express this is left to the dressmaker. Some of the best frocks show long wrinkled sleeves of the fabric, others have transpar ent sleeves of batiste, of chiffon, of organdie. The kimono and the elon- gated arrnhole do not appear, except in isolated cases, but it may be safe ly said that they are reserved for topcoats. In these the raglan shoui- der dominates, although in the short outer jackets in brilliant colors, which are the prevailing fashion for country wear, the armhole is nearly normal
 There are three princess frocks among the new clothes from Paris. and, as they are sponsored by good houses. one cannot help speculating upon the return of the Victorian fash ion. They look quite attractive in their new form, especially one in mauve satin over a slip of white satin and lace.
 There is another in snuff brown taf- feta that has a corkscrew effect worked out by strips of the fabric, cut on the bias, and joined together over prin- cess lining. The skirt of this frock is the widest one of the season, ex- cept that intended for dancing. Ii is high in the neck, except for a slight V in front, beneath which is a knotted cravat of white lace.

Open the shoulder seam of the frock and insert a strip of material like that used for the waist. or a bit of suitable insertion. This gives the needed space in the armhole and round the neck It is an easier and quicker method than ripping tucks or facing hens, yet the waist is heightened and the gathers of the skirt are in their proper places.

been only slight hopes of his recovery
The doctors can give only the slight
assurance that he has fighting
chance of pulling through.
Following attacks of appendicitis
the youngster was taken to Saginaw
but on the way there the appendix
burst. The effect of this poison in his
system has been to produce an ex-
tremely high fever. At times it has run
as high as 106 f. Despite the violence
of the fever the young man has borne
his suffering very cheerfully and has
never lost consciousness. In a letter
to his playmate, Robert Baker, he re
minds him that they will celebrate his
interrupted Fourth Of July in a short
time.

stant attendance, while several Alma

EX-PRESIDENT TAFT AT
SAGINAW CONVENTION

The Michigan State Teachers AS
sociation, which will,meet in Saginaw,
Oct. % and %, bringing some seven
or eight thousand visitors to this city
is assured Of what is regarded as the
best program that has ever been ar
ranged for any similar event in its
history. Former President William
Howard Taft, now professor in Yale
university, will be one of the "big
guns" that will he heard. David Star
Jordan, former president of Leland
Stanford university, the information
ally known peace advocate, who re-
signed his university connection two
years ago to devote his entire time to
peace problems, will be here, as will
p. p. Claxton, national commissioner
of education, and Gov. Frank b. Willis
of Ohio, who is famous as the school
teacher governor OF the Buckeye state.
At present David Starr Jordan is
president Of the National Education
society. Gov. Willis is regarded as a
big man in the Republican party and
has been referred to by some as of
presidential timber.
The four speakers are by no means
the entire program that will be of
fered, but are announced as what
might be called the feature attractions
and it is reported that such an all star
collection has never been gathered un-
der zone tent" in the past. The exec
utive committee of the teachers as
sociation believes that the presence OF
the four named speakers, with the
other features to be arranged later
will bring to Saginaw, a record break
ing attendance from all sections OF
Michigan.

30 DAYS FOR STEVENSON
Petty Thefts BY Arcadia
Cafe Proprietor Followed
BY Arrest And Sentence

Following a series of petty thieving
acts which found climax in the theft
of between eight and nine dollars from
the safe in John Luchini's candy and
fruit store, Roy Stevenson, proprietor
of the Arcadia Cafe and formerly a
resident of st. Louis was arrested Fri
day evening and taken to Ithaca for
trial. Tuesday afternoon in the Cir
cult court he was sentenced to a Jail
term of thirty days to be followed by
a period of two years parole. The
sentence was light.
Several persons among whom were
Mrs. Nelson Smith, George Pulfrey
and John Luchini, reported the loss OF
articles of slight value and when the
search was made amongst his effects
in the cafe which he has been running
in connection with the Arcadia Hotel
the stolen goods were found.
Friday morning about eight o'clock
Stevenson went into Luchini's store
while George Sarti who had sole
charge of the store was upstairs. Up.
on Stevenson's request to allow hin
to serve himself with ice cream he
gave consent. Stevenson went to the
safe and took nearly nine dollars
though if he had looked more carefully
his haul might have reached sun
over two hundred fifty dollars. Aftel
leaving the store he hid the money il
an old range in the cafe. George Brown
arrested him on a warrant issued by
John Luchini, and he was taken to Ith
aca. He protested his innocence unit
the evidence became too strong fo
him.
The cafe has been closed up and par
of his possessions are being held il
lieu of the payment of certain debts

their own hands. News of the mar
riage did not leak out until the re-
cords of County Clerk B. L. Case
