{ 26.-'Yep, I've gotta hand Il
20 the big city folks. They
I certainly get hep 10 God and
his goodness faster than any
other folks ! ever metl"
In such typical Billy Sun.
+ dayeae did the most famous
evangelist IN the world sum
/ up for me today his own Inn
i pressions Of the biggest, the
I most phenomenal souisasina
I campaign he has ever engaged
+ in-~thst he drew 20 a close In
I Philadelphia last week after ~
strenuous weeks.
+ had caught Sunday In his bed.
room while he was changing his
clothes.
Wonderful Experience
I lie was just slipping a dressing
gown over his Il. V. Dfs.
Tho skin on his arms and leEs
was sleek as an athletes aud the
muscles rippied beneath as eff.
clsntly as when he Was a STAR
ON THE DIAMOND
| lie threw himself on the heavy
mahogany empire bed. passed his
hands over hiA face which Was
Indeed little weary.
Then he grinncd.
'rhis revival in Philadelphia
has been the moat wonderful "a.
perience OF ny life. he said. his
eyes shining
why. last week vAa my nth
week here and we conducted IN
that time IS full maicr meetings
every week and never once was
there lull Never once did a
single meeting sss q attendance.
IN enthusiasm. IN converts. IN col.
lectlons
$1,000 Are Converted
I The tuli value az this can ~
realized only when you know that
tho tabernacle here holds Il .nea
people and that means daily a;.
tendance Of $4,000 aud 10000 on
Sundays,
arhe number Of SOULS WHICH
HAVE HIT The SAWDUST
TRAIL here 10 .he thing that
thriils me, though. Think Of u.

Christ means something to city
1T means tremendous force for
good. II means active Christian.
lty that will do any city more
good than all the theoretical
IChriatisnitY- Tho higher criticism
klnd--that can be shot out Of a
s2-centimeter cannon.
Money Just pours In
II don't know ans more about
the higher criticiAm than A JACK
RABBIT DOES ABOUT PING
PONG. but ] do know that soul
really converted IL wonderful
thing.
WHEN FOLKS PUT MONEY
INTO RELIGION yOr MAY
KNOW THEY ARE CONVINCED
OF THE GOODNESS or GoD.
HERE WE HAVE RAISED $50.
600 FOR CURRENT EXPENSES,
$4,000 FOR THE LOCAL CHAR.
titles AND ON THE FINAL
SUNDAY BUT ONE. THE DAY
RESERVED FOR ME. THE
MONEY SIMPLY POURED IN.
You could not have told me
that a great city would respond
to God as Philadelphia has.
Il thought that ny work lay
with the folks back home In the
towns and the smaller cities.
II thought GRILL ROOMS AND
TANGO PARLoRS HAD HARD.
ENED MOST CITY-BRED PEG.
PIE far beyond the softeniug in.
fluence OF Christ. But find |
am wrong They respond move
lquickly than any.
II THINK THEY HAVE SEEN
so MUCH TERRIBLE, HEART.
