Boston, Nov 15.-The rum traffic,
the peoples Indifference to it and a
| host OF other evils were hotly scored
| tonight by Billy Sunday before more
than $4,000 people who filled the i'm
mense tabernacle. He warmly prais
ed the Jews, calling them the greatest
| financiers in the world According 10
the evangelist there is not a crowned
| head in Europe who does not owe the
| Jews. Some of them are the best
| citizens we have" he said, 'and they
| are the most abused. | say all hail to
| the Jews"
The great revivalist showed just as
much pep tonight as he did the pre-
| vious evening, and when driving home
a point would wax warm, jumping
| from one end of the rostrum TO the
other fairly screeching his words.
"The revival at Pentecost" was the
subject of the afternoon. According
to Mr. Sunday the revival at Pente-
cost was not man-gotten-up revival.
There was no cut-and-dried schedule
TO il, he said The afternoon attend
ance was made up mostly of women,
and the great eyangelist's delivery
was somewhat tanner than usual. He
impressed his hearers just as effec-
lively, however
The subject of his evening sermon
was taken from Genesis" AS prince
thou hast power with God and with
man, and hast prevailed" He called
the sermon Jacobs confession" He
said.
"It is moi necessary for me to con-
sumo my energy and your time Civ
ing you the story of Jacob. There ls
no character in the Old Testament
with whom the average man or wom-
an is more familiar than with that OF
Jacob. He has been called by some
one the Peter OF the Old Testment.'
The history of Jacob is largely 'he
history of the Jewish nation in
epitome
THE Jews are a wonderful people,
They are the greatest financiers on
earth You will never find a Jewish
father and mother in poorhouse liv-
ing on the county There s not a
crowned head in Europe that doesn't
owe something to the Jews. There's
hardly monachs cabinet has hasn't
Jew in it, They are shrewd. capa-
BILE business people. One of them gave
his blood to save us. George Wash
ington had three Jews on his staff.
You never see Jew among the ho-
boes, panhandling and mooching you
for q handout You seldom hear Of
Jew committing a crime. Some of
them are the best citizens we have
and they are the most abused. | say,
all hail to the Jew.
Much in the life of Jacob CORE
spends with things in our life; that
is, we find things in our life which
are analogous with things in his life.
He speaks to us in his sorrow. / pre-
sumo there are very few people here
who have not in their homes some
memento of affection, esteem and love
which reminds you Of other days and
other places. long since past.
"There is many a fellow trying to
work some shell game on God today
to build church or put a rich car
pet on the floor in the alcove of Gods
church today, instead of saying to
God, 1 am a sinner and deserve hell
He hopes to be saved and is trying
to appease God with some contribu-
tion to the church or something of
that sort. No matter who will pray,
IL he will pray with honest heart God
will hear
After the duke of Wellington had
returned from the battle of Waterloo
they had special service of thanks
giving in the Episcopal churches
When Wellington went in he knelt
down in front and down the aisles
came a man with the marks of pow
erty and hardship. evidently illiterate
from his countenance, and he knelt by
the side of the great duke of We'll
lington.
"You, you little buck-wart, turn up
your nose when you are asked to pray
when the greatest men in the world
have always prayed daily
"And the kid.gloved usher came UP
and touched him and said. Don't
kneel so close, and the duke of Well
ington turned and said When we
kneel before God there are no dukes
or kings or queens. All earthly dis
tinctions are eliminated. We all come
as sinners seeking salvation or as chill
dren seeking blessing In this city
we have men who can write their
checks for big sum, but these
checks are not worth a picayune in
heaven. This is serious business,
and Boston must take graft, corrup-
ton and other evil forces by the
throat and kick them into hell.
