Paul, gained in bis attendance at
three Of the big Sunday gatherings IN
large cities one at Pittsburgh, one at
'Philad elphia, and the last one at Bal;
timore, during the past week.
DR.. Broomfeld explained that one
class Of critics were those who cannot
comprehend the vastness Of Sundays
success and cannot see in him any
thing greater than that he was at
onaf time Ia ball player and could get
around the bases faster than any OF
his teammates
Billy Sunday is all things to all
all men," declared the speaker, and
this quotation was the justification
for the methods the evangelist en-
p1oys in putting his message through
to the hearts Of the people.
rhe speaker had reached the heighth
of his eulogy Of Sunday and just be-
gan to gather in the threads OF his
discourse for the 'peroration; when the
electric lights went out and the con-
gregation was left in utter darkness.
II the speaker ever blinked or paid
any, attention whatever, to this unex.
pected shift of scenery, It was not
noticed, for he kept right on with MS
subject. The audience remained quiet
and the pastor flushed the sentence.
Then BILLY" Sunday.like, hetyeer-
ed from his topic and delivered
a beautiful three-minute sermon on
the work and influences for good ape-
ing done by Helen Kellar, who was IN
this city a short time ago. The dark
ened auditorium was referred to as
one Of the handicaps under which MISS
Kellar was going through her life con-
secrated TO spiritual up1tft and the
spreading of sunshine 10 others
There were those in the audience
who thought the sudden darkening OF
tho room was a Chilly" Sunday stunt
which the doctor had picked up while
in Baltimore, and they remained calm
in expectancy. 1t is doubtful whetil.
er "Billy" himself could have seized
upon the psychological moment" and
turned this inconvenience SO conven-
fently and delivered short sermon
with so much ::'point" to It and with
greater effect than did Dr.. Broomfield.
The speaker then returned to his
original subject and had delivered but
a short sentence when he paused to
tell the ushers that iuasmuch as the
darkness seemed to hang on it might
be a good idea to light the gas. This
the attendants proceeded to do when
it was discovered that from long dis
use the mantels had gone into decay,
and there was no light to be had from
that source. Straightway the minis
ter shot over his congregation little
singing forty-word sermon about "in1-
preparedness" Judging from the furry
it created all over the house it went
home"
Finally two Jets were lighted in the
choir loft, but as the position of each
OF these was on the rear side Of pill
