BILLY SUNDAY IN ACTION. :

BILLY SUNDAY IN ACTION. = A
reader sends me a copy of 'The
Truth Seeker of Feb. 13, in which
Jas. F. Morton, Jr., takes heavy
fall out of Billy Sunday because of
what he terms Sundays vulgarity.
There certainly is some difference be-
tween the language used in Billy's
sermons in The Day Book last week
and the language Morton quotes
from his speeches during the Phila-
delphia revival. Here are some Of
the sentences quoted from Sundays
Philadelphia sermons:
eff l were the wife of some of you
men I'd refuse to clean their old spit
toons. 1 say, let every hog clean his
own trough.
''Then Herodias came in, and
danced with her foot stuck out to a
quarter of II, and old Herod said,
Sis, you're a peach. You can have
anything you want, even to the half
of my kingdom. She hiked off to her
icentious mother.
Shows where the women don't
have enough clothes. on to make leg
gings for a humming bird.
do you remember what God did
for Joshau?. He bent down toward
the sun and said, Here, sun! Stay
where you are until Joshua gives you
the high signp So the sun stood
still, and Joshua went right ahead
and licked the enemies of God to
frazzle, and took his time at the job.
Some people talk about there

I.being no he'll. If you don't settle It
before the undertaken pumps you full
of those embalming fluids you'll be all
in. Then you'll know there's hell,
right enough.
Come on You bull-necked,
beetle-browed, hog-jowled, peanut
Drained, weasel-eyed four-fushers,
false alarms and excess baggage!"
Mr.. Morton uses these quotations
from Sundays Philadelphia sermons
to prove that Sunday is coarse and
vulgar. Certainly it is plain talk. He
didn't get that language out of any
school book or Sunday school PAM
phlet. But that may be why he draws
the crowds. Someone once said that
slang was scientific language because
it was the language of motion and
conveyed ideas to the mind by means
of vivid pictures of action. And all
of us know that one good cartoon is
much more effective than the best
written editorial. All of. us take in
ideas better from pictures than from
printed words.
Morton asks Christian ministers
why, if they think Sundays tactics
are the most elective, they don't use
them themselves in their own pulpits.
Anyhow, the possible answer to
Billy Sundays vulgarity is that hu-
manity itself is essentially vulgar, and
that so-called culture is so thin We
neer that a pin prick will go through
it. 1t may be that Billy Sunday has
measured the veneer and goes
through it to get at the barbarian.
And if we weren't really barbarians
would we fall for Billy's realistic fire
and birthstone he'll?
Here is another quotation Mr.. Nor
ton takes from one of Sundays re-
viyal sermons:
'They talk about the excitement of
a revival meeting being bad in any
community. If you say that, then

Tharp-Beasley.

On Sunday, April 4th, 1915, at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. C. S. Beasley of Davis City, oc-
CURED the marriage of their eldest
daughter Wilma to Roy Tharp.
Promptly at 6 o'clock the happy
couple were ushered into the parlor
by the strains of the wedding march
played by Opal Beasley, aunt of the
bride, where they were met by the
pastor, Rev. Dale, who in the pres
ence of few of the most intimate
relatives and friends spoke the
words which united their lives in the
holy bond of matrimony. After con-
CALCULATIONS they repaired to the din
ing room where a most sumptuous
wedding supper was served, and to
which all did ample justice.
This young couple are we'll known
around Davis City and need no word
of commentator. The bride is the
accomplished daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Beasley, and is held in
highest esteem by all her friends and
associates. The groom is the oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Homer Tharp,
and is hustling young farmer of
Eden township, and the best wishes
of their many friends go with them
through life.

ment took place at Elk Chapel GENE
terry, where she was laid to rest be-
side her husband to await the resur-
rection morn. A large company OF
neighbors attended the funeral, at
testing the esteem in which the de-
parted one was held by the commune
ity, and the beautiful floral offerings
were an attempt to convey something
of the love and honor so richly her
due.
Her memory is a rich heritage to
the children who to the third gener-
alton rise up and call her blessed.

A Statement by a Juror.

Exception is taken by one Of the
Jurors to the statement made in our
last issue that the jurors did not UNI
derstand the courts Instructions. We
wrote this after talking with mem
Der of the jury and supposed it was
correct, and cheerfully give space to
the statement as follows:
Editor Reporter In behalf of the
jurors who stood out for conviction
in the Riley case, please let me kind
ly correct a slight error in the last
issue. 1t stated the jurors did not
thoroughly understand the courts
instructions and came into court and
asked to have them explained and
when they were satisfied a verdict
was agreed upon. The facts are they
did understand the courts instruc-
tions and at no time were they be-
fore the court for further instruc-
tons. 1t is true that just before
the verdict was reached they did
leave the jury room and went into
the bailiff room and talked about 20
minutes and when they returned for
reasons which they explained to the
rest OF us which l don't think it
necessary to repeat here they cast
the ballot that gave Earl Riley his
freedom. Had it not been for the
short consultation held by those two
Jurors, Mr.. Riley would today be fac
ing another trial.
With kindness.
One of the Jurors.
