Soul-Saving Campaign; Eight
= Weeks of Enthusiasm

Baltimore. Nd. April 22.-Tomorrow
marks the closing of the greatest re-
vival of religion In the history of Bal
timore.
For eight weeks Rev. William Ash
ley Sunday. better known as Billy"
Sunday. has been packing to the doors
with people OF all ranks and classes
the wooden tabernacle built on the old
orioie Park grounds for the services
of the campaign.
The sawdust trail has been crowded
night after night with hundreds who
pressed forward seeking TO grasp the
hand OF the evangelist as a pledge OF
their resolve to accept Christ and lead
a better life.
Oriole Park has been the scene of
many enthusiastic gatherings from the
time Ned Hanion. Old "Sidekick" of
Billy Sunday, managed the ball team
which made Baltimore loom large on
the sporting map until the same
grounds on which they played were
leased by Hanlon to the Sunday Cam
enthusiasm been SO pronounced and
so sustained as II has been throughout
the eight weeks ofsxlse 90 m pasgn.
Interest Grows 70 the End.
Instead OF losing interest as the
campaign heightened from one month
to two, interest seemed to increase
daily as the campaign progressed until
the last one has become q week of
high nervous tension, until, as the last
day dawns. Baltimore hold It's breath
as its pulse beat fast and throb with
the streams OF life that flow toward
the tabernacle wondering what the
day will bring forth.
It Is estimated that a total of LAS.
eco people will have attended services
| ~ the. Tabernacle during the eight
weeks that Mr.. Sunday has been here.
OF these 22.7bo will have shaken Mr.
Sundays hand and Joined that great
throng of trail hitters" which he
leaves behind him in every city into
which he goes.
The cost OF this great campaign
amounted TO s45. 900, all of which was
contributed by those who attended the
services. and in addition TO this may
be added the $4,000 or more which II
/ Ia estimated will be contributed to
Mr.. Sunday himself tomorrow as his
remuneration for coming here to con-
duct the campaign. In the last two
weeks collections amounting to over
$1,000 have been taken in the Taber-
nacle for charitable purposes.

day in the belief that break with
