Consequently, There Is
A Bible In a Detroit Home
That Wasn't There Before
It was on a street car.

1t was on a street car.
Two women were sitting together and,
very naturally-oh how naturally-they
were talking.
But they were not talking about the
dress worn by the last woman to walk
down the aisle of the car, nor about her
shoes or her hat
They weren't talking about the little
affair in the neighborhood or down in the
store or in the office between Mr.. So and
So and Miss or Mrs. What'shername.
They were talking about the Sunday
meetings.
One of them had been to hear the
evangelist the night before.
LOT of 'em hit the trail?" asked her
companion.
Nope very few compared TO what the
papers have been saying. I'd say not
more'n hundred"
"Billy'll have to do better than that if
he hopes to convert Detroit in eight
weeks" observed the other.
SHOULD say So was the reD.y.a
A lot of people who go to Year Billy
Sunday are disposed to measure the re-
suits of the sermon by the number Of con-
verts who walk the sawdust trail when
Billy asks them to come down, but they
are greatly mistaken in entertaining that
opinion.
THE GREATEST RESULTS OBJ
TANNED THROUGH THE SUNDAY
REVEALS ARE INVISIBLE N THE
TABERNACLE.
For instance: The writer of this col
umn has heard about woman who went
to hear Billy Sunday, and who sat trem-
bling in her seat, according to her own
words, for fear some Christian friend
would come to her and ask her to 20
forward.
This woman went to the meeting firm
in her conviction. to use her own words,
again, that Billy Sunday is preaching for
the money there is in it.
The home of this woman has been
without Bible since she was married.
A morning or two ago she asked her
husband to BRING HOME A BIBLE.
This woman didn't believe in Billy
Sunday.
She went TO the tabernacle with no idea
whatever of letting him make an impress
sion on her-she had heard about his
manner of preaching; how ne slides from
one side of the platform to the other
Jumps upon the pulpit and down from It,
and balances on one leg while everybody
Is afraid he is going to tumble down in
TO his audience-she heard about these
things and wanted to SEE him
But on going TO SEE him, she HEARD
him.
And on leaving the tabernacle she was
THINKING.
And she got TO thinking, eventually,
that her home ought to have a Bible
in it..
She reached her conclusion about the
Bible many days after she HEARD
Billy Sunday.
She had been thinking MANY DAYS.
And THERE. right there. was a result

THANKSGIVING

From the time of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers Americans have
been accustomed to set aside NJ day in the year wherein to review the
past year and take stock of the dealings of Providence with us a a people.
What "a aft first the spontaneous expression of grateful hearts soon
became 2 custom, and ast the years sped this custom became fixed until o
day it assumes the sacredness of a permanent institution.
This season is again with us. The fruits Of the broad acreso of our
fair domain have been garnered in. The warehouses and graneres arc
fairly bursting with their contents and prosperity sets a guest at almost
every hreside
Our president and the governors Of the various states have designated
the day on which the people shall express to a bountifu1 Creator their
gratitude for these blessings.
And to the many positive and material blessings which have been our
there is added o n this occasion the especial blessings that we as a people
have escaped the madness that has fallen as a blight upon our neighbors
and kinsnen across the waters. The magnitude of that blessing W e can
lot at this time begin to estimate. 1885, r ..#N $50
But while W e have these papab1e blessings for which O be thankful,
we have other things for which to express our gratitude, and these ante
safety. We have to be thankful that back lin. the days when our nation was
being born, a land of heroes, than whom the world has never produced
greater. had impressed upon their hearts to lay the foundations OF that
nation upon the only possible true and lasting base-the Fatherhood OF
IN omnipotent God and the brotherhood of man.
And we have to be thankful that all down the years since that m
there have been heroic souls-worhy sons of noble sires-who have
new ceased to call % us with clarion voice to- watch and preserve the
old landmarks, to plant our feet upon the everlasting rock and stand firm.
And yer and above all else, we have to be thankful that a merctul
God has 81 moulded the hearts and lives of the people of this nation that
we are enabled to look above and beyond self and see for ourselves the
great principles of eternal truth and justice that must ultimately rule the
whole earth; that we are enabled to grasp the truth that an injury to our
selves, and that a kindness to III fellows calls down a benedction upon
or W heads.
So that the one supreme blessing for which W e should al: this season
return thanks, is the fact that our God has enabled II a. a people to know
and to do the right.
And let our prayer be that it may ever be thus with this people.

HIS MAXIMS FOR SUCCESS

Charles NJ. Schwab, the wonder worker of the steel industry, "a
asked in ST, Louis his maxims for success. He replied:

"The boy in the workshop has the same chance to succeed IS the boy
in the university.
"A pleasing personality is onc of the important requisites tor IL

"Be a gentleman at all times.
Honesty and integrity are absolute necessities.
BE proud. Hold up your head when you talk to men Of affairs;
never crnge, and always hold a stiff upper lip.

WHERE BRYAN CAMPAIGNED

A few days after the election the New York World stated:
"In the interest of accuracy the fact should be noted that aside from
the South, the Wilson majorties are coming mainly from the territory in
which Mr.. Bryan did his campaigning this year"
Replying to this a correspondent in Massachusetts, added:
IN further interest OF accuracy the World might wei. have added that
the Democracy Of the states west Of the Mississippi from which these
welcome majorties have m sat at the feet of MI. Bryan and followed
his teachings for the last twenty years. Also it might have added further
that the only northern state east of the Mississippi carried for Wilson,
Ohio, has in recent years taken its Democracy from Tom Johnson and
Newton D. Baker, disciples of this same Bryan, whose leadership has been
rejected here in the east with such deplorable consequences to the party
LET it be noted also that in these Bryan states We Democratic. sen
ators we're gained and LOST, while in the anti Bryan east there has
been a net loss of FIVE"

fourteen days ago and they rendered a prompt and decisive opinion, JUS
