Sinners Are Plentiful
But They're All Cheerful

Look at emf the old sergeant of
police commanded. as he Sazed over the
crowds. I've been to many revival
where sinners was plentiful, but never
saw as cheerful lot as them out
there.
"And everyone OF these crowds il
cheerful. There's. no pushing and show
ing and losing tempers. Nobody gets
mad, nobody"
Suddenly the old polceman's voice
sounded very loud. A nush settled over
the crowd. Up the back stairs OF the
pulpit a man had come. His hair was
long and black. and his stout figure was
draped In an English walking suit. He
raised both hands as II about TO pro-
nounce benedlction. said a few words
TO tho audience, and then turned slowly

HE Hits the Spot and
"Makes People Think"

Later, as the big audience filed out. a
man apparently a mechanic, said to his
companlon:
There wasn't much religion in that
1t was just tcllin' the truth. He hits
the spot, he does, and the glnks that
don't like him don't like to hear the
right dope about themselves"
Those are just samples. Take your
choice.
Everybody has a different estimate for
Billy Sunday-even the business and
professional men who carefully sidestep
any discussion of his methods and take
refuge behind the statement HE makes
folks think about things they haven't
thought of In years before"
All of which brings us back almost to
where we started-how Billy Sunday
does II.
The big tabernacle, when Billy Sum
day preached his favorite sermon,
Home, Sweet Home" was aglow with
lights.
And II is perhaps pertinent I'm con-
sidertng Sunday and his ways. to note
that the biggest and brightest cluster
light of them all, backed by a mammoth
reflector. hung Just above the platform,
from which the evangelist was to de-
liver his address.
Every seat was filed. and a good
many hundreds were standing in the
alleyways which surround the big audi
torium.
Up behind the pulpit the big male
choir was getting into action. 1t was

drove home with a flstic gyration which

While he pivoted from the force he
had expended on the empty air. he as
sumed a crouch. and from this POSI-
ton delivered another hot shot. being
near enough to the floor OF the platform
ON that occasion TO pound II vigorously.
And shortly after that he got the

And when this evoked the usual

Occasionally his more youthful and
perhaps less regenerate DAYS would
manifest their influence when Billy
would wind up In q style which Walter
Johnson can ever hope to equal, and

Each fresh gyratlon brought a new
