Making a Good Impression.

Life, as has been often said is an art.
To become expert in using ones feel
ings, ideas, position, knowledge and tenn
permanent, so as to put forth ones innu-
ence with the maximum effect. is like
becoming expert in bookkeeping. picture
painting, or piano playing; it takes study
and practice.

Most Of our success consists in proper

Whether it is to put through bust

to attain social purpose. or even to
affect a person morally. we must know
how to make our personality count.

Remember, It's a Poor
Sport Who Throws a
Bottle at the Umpire.

The self-condemning enemies OF Billy
Sunday are already on the job in Detroit,
The Sunday vanguard is here, but the
Devils beat it into town.
Literature is appearing which attacks
the evangelist for his methods. the same
as it has appeared in every city Sunday
has visited, but in no place has it hinder
ed or affected the great objective in any
way.
Sunday, himself, was at one time, as
most everybody knows, base ball player
He was a second baseman in the big
league for many years, and the way he
looks upon these attacks, if he notices
them at all, is probably to recognize that
the advantage is all on his side for coming
to bat last.
He can say to himself, simply, if the
other fellows are doing any scoring.
'We'I be in there ourselves shortly, doing
some hitting on our own account" and
we are beginning already to feel sorry
for the opposition pitcher.
BILLY" will be found more than a
match for the fellows underhanded de-
livery.
The bat he carries is one that he can
swing straight from the shoulder.
This bat is Truth and with it Billy
has never failed to land on his enemies
and put them over the fence.
This in behalf of the brother waiting
on third for a safe arrival Home.
The Detroit times., 1916-08-14

BILLY" Sunday has made himself
heartily disliked and decidedly unpopular
with lot Of people.
In this fact lies his GROWING achieve
ment.
He hasn't been disposed to compromise
with those who hate him for the sake
Of having them say nice things about
him.
His work isn't one that the Devil
cheers.
He is campaigning in behalf Of men
and women unreached by the Truth, TO
make them understand, and TO MAKE
THEM UNDERSTAND. he talks 10 them
from the pulpit as father would talk to
his son--with the same interest with
the same vigor and in understandable
phrases.
He is preaching religion in way that
Is sure-fire and will put il over.
4 He calls a spade spade.
II he sees man going TO Hell, ne
doesn't tell the man that he is going
anywhere but to Hell.
What he does really for his first step
In behalf of the man is TO arrange stop
over privileges. to give him a chance to
consider the matter and accept another
course.
For every drunkard "Billy" Sunday
The Detroit times., 1916-08-14

BILLY" Sunday realizes that when you
are playing against the Devil you are "on
the road" or in what every ball player
knows to be unfriendly territory.
He has heard the jeers Of the bleachers
until he became hardened TO them to an
extent that he could play the game with
out letting them bother him.
But the world is as full Of good sports
as the bleachers are, and those who go
to see and hear Sunday with TIE idea of
scoffing, will find themselves applauding
the brilliancy of the game he plays.
Sundays methods of reaching men and
bringing them under conviction Of sin, are
the methods, simply, Of one who knows
that the base runner, who is in earnest,
comes into the base spikes first.
1t isn't the popular way with basemen,
but it gets the base for the runner.

PHILIPPINE BILL IS
PASSED BY | VOTE
Vice President Marshall Breaks
41.41 Tie and Casts Decid-
ing Vote.

Washington, Feb "a definite
policy contemplating Philippine inde
pendence within four years was ap
proved by the senate today when
Vice President Marshall cast the de-
Gliding vote in favor of the Clarke
amendment to the Philippine bill, di
recting the president to withdraw
American sovereignty within four
year period.
The vote, which followed weeks of
debate, was Al to IL.
An effort to recommit the bill was
defeated and final senate action on
the measure, which has not yet pass
ed the house, was deferred until to-
morrow.
Administration senators in sup
porting the Clarke amendment main
tanned that some definite provision
was necessary to square up with tha
independence declaration in the Baltl-
more platform. Chairman Hitchcock
Of the Philippine committee, who op-
posed the amendment, was supported
by eleven other Democrats. Five
Republican Senators, Borah, Clapp,
Kenyon, La Toilette and Works, vot-
ed for the amendment.
BY the terms of the amendment as
perfected, provision is made for ex-
tension OF time for granting independ-
ence, if the president should deem it
advisable. until congress shall have
opportunity to further consider the
subject.
