THURSTON'S TRICKS toad
BILLY sundays CAMPAIGN

II there is any frmer admirer of
Evangelist Billy Sunday than Thurs
ton, the magician, who is now appear
ing at The Playhouse, il would be
hard to find him Mr.. Thurston formed
his opinion at short range for he and
Mrs. Thurston attended two of his
services in Baltimore on Sunday last
and later took dinner with the evan
gelist and his party at their
home. Tomorrow Musical Director
Rodeheaver, of the Sunday party. will
visit Wilmington and Mr. Thurston
will prepare for him number Of
. tricks. which can be performed in a
big tabernacle for the amusement and
instruction OF children. Mr.. Rode
HEAVIER viii study the methods of Mr.
Thurston in handling crowds Of
children
Asked concerning the matter last
night, Mr.. Thurston said:
Some twelve years ago / taught a
number Of tricks to DR.. Wolston, OF
Philadelphia who later wrote a book
entitled unseen Truth and who
used magic to teach religious truths
with success
What of Billy Sunday was asked
the magician.
BILLY Sunday is a big subject" dc
clared the magician. He is a natu-
raj product. II is just as natural for
him to preach and to preach with all
his strength and all his energy as il
is for him to do anything else. Tho
first thing which impresses you is his
absolute indifference as TO what peo-
pie think of him. lie mounts the ros-
trum to address $1,000 people with the
same Indifference as TO what they
think of him as he would facing a
single man.
when you first see him begin a
service your impression is that he is
Overworked tired and nervous and
you arc concerned as TO whether he
will have the strength to complete
the service especially when you
glance over the sea Of faces and
wonder how he is going to make
them hear. He starts by putting ur
an argument directly over the home
plate Just as he would baseball in
the old days.
Billy Sunday is sincere. Billl
p Sunday is earnest. He is fearless. H'
has a wonderful knowledge Of human
nature He is a master in handling
? throngs Of people and reaching them
b Having had considerable experience
, myself in handling crowds, | watched
{ him with more than usual interest.
I'm their home Mr.. and Mrs. sun
; day and their party show the sam'
/, earnestness as in the meetings. Mrs
Sunday presides over everything. ant
: she is a charming hostess. The prin
cipal occupation of Billy Sunda,
when he is away from his meetings i
to conserve his energy for the mex
one.
Billy Sunday sizes you up on tn
once over as he would say an
,, with a single glance he tells whethe
it is worth while for him to take u
his time talking to you or shall tur
you over to~an assistant " you as
me if believe in Billy Sunday. I te

Later Sunny to Thayer, Sept. II,

called to letter May 20, 1912, by chief
engineer re-testing transmitters and
receivers. Associated companies
were INSTRUCTED ''tO have exchanges,

Both the Wisconsin Telephone

Chicago Telephone Co. before the

difficulty in defending the Az per

supplying and maintaining telephones
and transmiters. l am sure that you
will appreciate that to carry out in
structiOns will make it still more diff

have work done, and was at the same

mere fact that the law provides that

not discouraged him the least.

"This alley is paved and if it be-
