sGIa BILLY SUNDAY
A St. Johnsbury Boys Careful Estimate of
His Work

Rolfe Cobleigh, former ST. Johns
bury boy, now one of the associate edl-
tors of the Congregationalist, was sent
over to Philadelphia from Boston to study
Billy Sunday at close range and make an
estimate of the real value of his work.
Among other things Mr.. Cobleigh says:
Billy Sunday is a reformer of the fight
ing kind. Without stopping to mention
them now, just run your mind back over
the list of the worlds greatest reformers
and consider what we know of their &C.
centrcities and faults, which were the
subject of harsh criticism by their con-
temporaries. Those who knew Mr..
Moody will recall the constant criticism
which covered his entire public career,
because of his bluntness of speech and
his unconventional manners. 1t may
throw some light on Billy Sunday to
know that Mr.. Moody was the evangelist
who has influenced him most. Big men
who have waged successful fight against
the forces of evil have swept aside many
restraints and conventions that control
other men and they have developed what
seemed to their critics to be serious faults
of character.
Billy Sundays critics sometimes score
by contrasting him with his master. He
has grave faults. He is intolerant, his
language is often violent, impatient and

asks and gives no quarter. l saw and
heard him do and say things that seemed
to me ridiculous and 1 disapprove of
many things that have reason to be-
lieve he has said and done. 1 could make
out pretty strong case against him on
the facts that l have at my command.
But after we have said all that, we have
before us preacher whom I believe to
be honest and earnest to the limit of the
wearing his life out in work that he be-
lieves he is doing just as the Lord Jesus
Christ wants him to do it. These last
are his own words to me. However much
man may be troubled by his faults, be-
lieve God is using him to accomplish re-
suits of great magnitude in the cause of
He frankly admits that he uses bis
startling outbursts of slang and his sem
sational acrobatic methods upon the plat
form to draw the crowd. He says, ''if
talked the same and acted the same as the
other fellows do, 1 wouldn't get any more
people to listen to me than they GET"
With the crowd before him, he wins
their confidence, makes them his friends
and delivers the message that is in his |
heart. He talks plain, blunt language,
tinged with the vernacular of the sport
ing crowd and that all who follow our |
great national game are accustomed to |
use. He brings the facts of vice and sin |
and the truths of sound morality, the |
spiritual life, and the individual respon.
sibility home to the common people as
no other man has done it in this gener-
ton. While he is reaching the man at
the bottom, people of every class recog-
nize the application of the same truth to
their own lives and so he gets them all.
In a select audience he has proved he
IAN divest his speech of all slang and
command as perfect English as any of his
critics.

THOUSANDS FALL Iil
 FIERCE POLAND FIGHT
Germans Keep Up Attacks on
 Russian Lines.

Fierce fighting along the entire line. In which thousands have fallen. has marked new German attacks on Rus sian positions in Poland, according to Petrograd dispatches to London. The Russians assert that all these attacks have been repulsed with heavy loss.
 The fighting along the Vistula has been particularly desperate, according to the official report of the Russian general staff. The Germans have made several attacks, at times reaching the outer line of barbed wire entangle- ments, only to be driven back in des- perate bayonet charges. According to the official report. the situation re- mains unchanged.
 The success of the Russian army in the Austrian province of Bukowina is attracting the attention of military ob- servers in London through its bearing on the Balkan situation. It is almost impossible for Austria to defend Tran sylvania. and that entire territory is now at the mercy of the czar.
 A complete and decisive victory over the Turkish troops operating in the Caucasus was announced in Petrograd. The entire Turkish forces have been routed. the war office says. and the whole Ninth army corps of the Turk ish army was surrounded and forced to surrender,

 The border crisis. the gravity of which was admitted frankly by Gen. eral Hugh L. Scott. chief of staff of the United States army. was settled at the custom house in Vera Cruz when Francisco Villa scrawled his signature at the end of a typewriter document which contained agreements to respect American territory. The treaty which Villa signed already had the sigma. lures of General Benjamin Hill, the Carranzlsta commander at Naco; Gen eral Elias Gales. his adjutant. and Governor Jose Maria Maytorena. the Vallista governor of the state of So nora.
