but the crowd seemed undecided
what to do. Nearly three minutes

From stan C0rfes p0udent.
PATTERSON, April 15.-The army
which Billy Sunday has been nobiliz-
ing at the tabernacle here since Eas-
ter made its first real assault upon
the citadel of Satan last night. Led
by o fifteen -year-old modern Joan of
Arc, 257 women and girls and fifty-six
men and boys "hit the trail" which,
in Billy Sundays parlance, means
that they have stormed the strong
hold of the devil and pledged them
selves to serve the Lord.
The tabernacle was crowded to its
capacity. Two thousand, 1t was es-
timated, who sought admittance, had
to be turned away. At the conclusion
of his sermon, which was one of the
most energetic he has preached so
far, the evangelist prayed: Lord,
we've been in Paterson a week and
a half now, and if any have been
converted do Thou show it by letting
them come forward and take my
hand and declare that they are will
ing to accept Thee.
How many of you are willing to
have Him come into your Iives?' he
asked. II believe there are thousands
who are willing. Come forward, all
you who are willing to give me your
hand"
A minute passed. There was a gem
eral craning of necks. Many arose
from their seats and looked around.
