Billy Sunday Is Through
With a Great Campaign,
and 1t Is Now Up to Is

The Sunday campaign IS It an END.
Billy has closed his Bible and lifted
that characteristic prayer to Jesus for
us for the last time
After a short rest the great evangelist
will go TO Boston and continue his ser
vices toward the betterment Of mankind
and the betterment Of the world
He preached hard to Us.
He talked plainly TO Us
He opened Detroit's eyes 10 the truth
and to sin-to Detroit's sin
His coming was not popular OF course.
with the brewers. nor the distillerS, nor
the saloonkeepers, nor the cigarette roll
ers, nor were his sermons, particularly
that powerful one on Booze
His coming was none too popular with
our booze and cigarette-boosting news
papers.
His coming was not popular with many
standpatters in the church who are sin
cere, if mistaken, in their opposition to
manner and speech that go with the Sun
day reform idea Of preaching.
His coming was not popular with many
who entered the tabernacle to scoff. but
who either fell to praying themselves or
asked to be prayed for.
He displeased a few.
He CONVERTED thousands
There is just one way TO sum up Billy
Sunday and the Billy Sunday campaign,
and that way is by an old adage:
THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING IS
IN THE EATING
If half of those who hit the sawdust
trail. backslide, or even three-quarters Of
them, Detroit will still be a better city
and Michigan will be a better Michigan
for his coming.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1916-11-06

What's more, both city and state are
going to keep on getting better
The church will be more powerful in
fuence in city and state than It ever was
before. because Billy Sunday came.
He has awakened the church and stir
red it to action that viii bring rich re-
suits.
That is one of the big things. if not the
biggest thing, that Sunday did-he con-
verified the church
He showed the church its Weaknesses
as he showed men and women their weak
nesses.
He showed the churches as he showed
men that what they need most is good.
old-fashioned religion.
He left the church a great example by
putting a punch in religion
Billy Sunday has gone and it is now UP
to the church and up 10 US.

the dead.

We will hear now that Sunday was
well paid for his meetings in Detroit
We always hear that.
We expect to see the Offering pointed
TO by certain class Of people who will
say: "See there VINO wouldn't be a
preacher like Sunday for the pay he
gets

THE HOME MERCHANT.

The home merchant. Who is he?
He is the chap who gives you credit
when you are financially broke, and
carries your account until you are able
to pay.
He is the chap who gives you back
your money or makes exchanges when
you are not satisfied with what you
have bought.
He is the chap who stands behind
his guaranty, and makes retribution
of all losses that you may sustain on
the goods you buy.
He is the chap who meets and greets
you on the street every day in the
year, and takes a neighborly interest
in your family and your affairs.
He is the chap whose clerks and
bookkeepers and other employees live
in your city and spend their money
with you and with other city people.
He is the chap who pays heavy tax
es to help support your city schools,
and build your streets, and maintain
your fire departments and police de-

THE MORTGAGE-A
STRANGE INSTITUTION

A mortgage is a strange institution.
1t makes a man rustic, and it keeps
him poor. 1t is a strong incentive
to action, and wholesome reminder of
the feeting months and years. A
mortgage represents industry, because
it is never idle and never rests. 1t is
like a bosom friend, because the great
er the adversely the closer it sticks
to a fellow 1t is like a soldier; it
never hesitates in charging nor fears
to close in on an enemy. 1t is like the
sand-bag of a thug; silent in its APP
plication but deadly in its effect. Like
the very hand of Providence, it is
spread over all creation, and its in
fluence is everywhere visible. 1t is
like the grasp of the devilfish, the
longer it holds the greater its strength.
1t will exercise telling energy, and
lend activity to the sluggish brain.
No matter how hard the debtor works
the mortgage works harder still. 1t
makes a fellow sour, cross, selfish,
unsociable, and miserable, and rarely
does him any good except to exercise

Men without land are mob, and
land without men is a wilderness.
Railroading is not like politics; the
competent man wins.
The spur of necessity is a rich
heritage.
A man must make up his mind that
if he takes another mans dollar he
must give him back an honest return.
If man is not honest he is bound
to fall eventually.
Crown your smallest actions with
halo Of eagerness.
Confidence is the basis Of a staple
business. If you do not trust your
self, who will? But be sure Of your
ground for confidence,
Opportunity comes sometimes dis
guised and surrounded by hard work
and adverse circumstances.
Truthfulness does not alone consist
in telling the truth, but more often in
doing it.
The morning hours are the best
hours of each day.
Men who succeed are not magicians
but you will probably find they have
capacity for hard work. If causes
are created, effects must come"

partments and parks, and lighting and
water service.
He is the chap who helps support
your city churches and hospitals and
charity organizations, and your lodges
and commercial clubs, and talks for
your city and boosts for your city
every day in the year.
He is the home merchant-your
neighbor- your friend-your helper
in times of need.
Don't you think that you ought to
trade with him and be his friend and
his helper in the time of his need?
You don't save much, frequently
nothing, when you send your money
out of your city and you take all the
risk yourself Of short weight or meas
ure and of getting damaged or infer
ior goods. And don't you know that
the growth and prosperity of your city
depends very largely upon the success
and prosperity of home merchants?
Out-of-town people judge your city by
the appearance of your stores and the
degree of enterprise shown by your
merchants. And our home merchants
can not succeed unless home folks
give them loyal support-Wiscons

ARE YOU WORTH WHILE?
(From the Houston Post.)


Are you merely existing in your
community or are you living in it?
Are you doing anything for it's benefit
or are you simply making your living
from it? Are you builder or are
you parasite?
In other words, are you worth
while?
Do you justify your existence by
helping your fellow man? Are you a
church worker or club worker or a
civic welfare worker? Are you a
worker at all?
True, you make living. The mos
quito and the fly do that. But they
are not assets to the community. If
you do more than make a living you
are of no value, either. You are in
the class with the fly and the mos
quito.
People swat the fly and the mosqui-
to. If you do nothing the day will
come when they will swat you, too.
And they will swat you hard. You
won't be able to- come back"
The only men and women for whom
this planet has room are the people
who do things. For them the choicest
gifts of earth and resolve. Honor
and glory are theirs. They are the
chosen of the world.

shouldered man, or a puny, measly,

ORIGIN OF THE LODGE.
(Boscobel Dial-Enterprise.)

A little girl tells what she knows
about King Solomon in the following
essay: king Solomon was a man
who lived ever so long ago and in the
country in which he governed he was
the whole thing. King Solomon built
King Solomon's temple and was the
father of all the Masons. He had 700
wives and 200 lady friends and that
is why there are so many Masons in

There was one notable thing about the Orpet
case-it was brought out at the trial that he had
been masquerading as a Wisconsin student from
Sank City and obtaining his education without
payment of the $135 year nonresident fee
Governor Philip is right when he takes the
stand that Wisconsin should educate her own
children freely, but not serve as scape- goat for
other states too stingy to maintain educational
institutions like ours. If Wisconsin is going to
educate the world let the world help pay our bills

In another column of this paper is printed a
sketch lambasting the mortgage which is print
ed solely because it is cleverly written. AS a
matter of fact we believe the article to be mis-
statement of fact and monumental lie. The
progress of the world is built upon the proper
use of the mortgage and the wealth of the world
is created by it. To be the burden bearer of a
mortgage means that someone has had faith in
your industry and your frugality and by lending
YOU money has given you the great lever with
which to pry success from a cold world. One can
cite countless instances where men have made
GOOD because some one trusted them and lent
them money taking a mortgage The man who
will shoulder one and bank his effort, brains and
thrift in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred,
will win out and be all the better for it. Hail,
the Mortgage.
