BILLY SUNDAY GETS

Attendance at Seven Weeks

Sundays tabernacle in Trenton had
been built to accommodate 10000 per-
sons instead Of $4,000. II would probably
have been insufficient to hold the crowds
which hocked to hear the evangelist to-
day. his last appearance in the city.
From the time Mr.. Sunday appeared
1t the morning services until he said his
last eood-byes at . o'clock. the taber-
nacle was the scene Of almost continue
Gus services. When the evangelist
wasn't there ( preach the choir and
the crowds were there to sing. and no
sooner was n service ended than the
tabernacle began TO I'LL for another.
Many persons spent hours seeking to
gain admission. and thousands were
turned away, while some camped Al the
tabernacle from morning until night.
Mr.. sunday told the audience at the
nigh; meeting that Trenton had broken
several records. n for a plac. OF its
size had eclipsed anything IN his
~cvangelistic career. II set another mark
after that when a check for Sal. asi.o3
was handed TO the evangelist a. th"
free will" offering 81 the citS. Related
contributions a~ggregating $3'I more
came before Mr.. sunday got away from
the city. and a check for this amount
n anything else received VIII he
mailed to him. To date therefore Trcti-
toms contributions amount to S32 .35S.h3
for the evangelist.
This sum is about 100000 less than
the high water mark reached In rhila-
delphia, which has "A population about
fifteen times that Of Tranton. where the

TO TILE PEOPLE OF RICH
MOND:
am advised by the Chief Health
Officcr that . comprehensive plan
OF action Is necessary to avert II
poeetble, the appearance OF In
fanttlc paralysis In Richmond. In
such q plan cleanliness occupies
flrst place. and for this reason /
urge your intensive cooperation In
q cleanup campaign. Please give
immediate attention to your prem
tses. and remove from your houses
and yards all kinds Of waste to a
convenient place near your back
gates for collection by the Street
Cleaning Department. Breeding
places of flies, rats, mosquitoes and
all pests should he completely de-
seroycd. Standing water wherever
found should be drained. Lime or
other strong d<infectant should be
freely used. Infantile paralysis is
one Of the worst scourges known.
The disease. fatal in most CAGES,
generally leaves the survivor maim-
ed for life. Children have been
dying In. New York at the rate OF
one every hour. i urge your i'm
mediate help In this effort to pre-
vent such a calamity in Richmond.
