Bud. We'll. he says. the reason for present conditions is that the work. My friends tell you cant see how the average workingman can get along on his wages under present conditions. That political economist is going daffy"
 A Bit or Acrobatics
 Sunday electrified his audience with his next move. Standing near the edge of the platform, he ex- tended his arms and raised his right foot
 What the world wants today is to put Christ in his place" he cried.
 Swinging about, with the quick ness of an antelope, he jumped on a chair which seemed to be at least six feet from his starting point. It never even teetered when he landed on it; he had judged the distance so accurately.
 Standing for an instant on the mar, he raised his arms and shout ed: The hope of the world is in the Gospel
 Leaping backwards from the chair to the platform, he wheeled baout and shook his clenched fists at his  hearers and fairly bellowed And the dirtiest, lowdown scoun- drel this side of hell is the fellow that opposes a movement like this '' Without any connecting link, Sun day returned to his text and acted out the story of Jacob and Esau
 Impersonatins Isaac.
 Isaac was growing old" Sud and decrepit. His face became lined with wrinkles. He walked haltingly and falteringly, and talked in the era ked voice of extreme old age as he sank wearily into chair If ever a man could play Jekyl and Hyde without a makeup. that man would be Billy Sunday. Not only baseball, but the stage. lost a star when Sunday hit the trail.
 In the thin, cracked voice-heard nevertheless, all over the hall-the evangelist, in the character of Isaac, commanded Esau to go forth and kill deer with which to make savory meat.
 Quick as a flash Sunday changed from the character of the tottering, tremulous Isaac to the youthful husky, lusty young Esau Bound ing pulsing life radiated from him as he went forth to kill the deer.
 Thus he acted through the story to the point where Jacob, covered with the skin of goat. deluded Isaac into thinking he was Esau.
 lsaac's Modern Slang
 "Old Isaac couldn't see very well, '' shouted Sunday, and when he felt the goatskin he suspected some thing was wrong, because it seemed to be Esau's hair, but it was Ja- cob's voice. So Isaac said: Your sparker and your gasoline are not working together
 Well, anyway, they pulled the 1 wool tho z, eyes and Jacob put his graft over. Then Jacob beat it. He stayed away seven years and while he was gone he had wrestling match with the Lord, and, of course, he got the worst of it.
 Putting his right foot on chair, Sunday gave a demonstration of how the Lord broke Jacobs thigh
 After a while Jacob started home and he figured out a way to square himself with his brother, Esau. He divided up his herd and put a man in charge of each division. He l stayed on the other side of the rive. and sent these drivers over to tell Esau they came from his servant, Jacob. He thought that would get under Esau's vest.
 Now a Cattle Driver
 Sunday gave an imitation of a man driving cattle. shouting as if he were driving a herd across the stage.
 Well, Esau met the first driver, who said he came from Esau's ser want, Jacob, and asked him to take the cattle for a present. But Esau said: 'Nit.'
 And the second driver came along with the same kind of stall and Esau said 'Raus init 'im""
 As Sunday told the story Esau consented to a reconciliation when
