at Tabernacle

The Job of cutting Theodore Roose-
velt's lawn at Oyster Bay, Billy Sun
day surmises, would be about the only
one open 10 the evangelist if he should
suddenly be deprived of his voice. He
told a Tabernacle crowd of $4,000 per-
sons last night that he has dedicated
his whole life to preaching and could
rot make living any other way.
IF my voice should fall he said,
81 don't know what could do to make
q living. But l guess little old New
York would give me hand-out. If
went around to Judge Gary and told
him | couldn't preach any more,
guess he'd stand me a meal. John d..
Rockefeller might help me out if
was all in. George W. Perkins is a
good fellow; he'd probably dig down.
And Teddy Roosevelt would probably
say: Come on down to Oyster Bay
Bill; you can cut the lawnn"

A sympathetic cheer met Sundays
prediction that "by the grace of God"
he would get along all right if physi-
cal disaster should overtake him. His

sermon"

/ the epidemic of infantile paralysis
which swept New York last summer
was declared TO be directly attribute
bic to sin. "Not your sin. perhaps. but
| the SIN of some one" asserted Sun
| day.
you've got TO carry your baby "a
! the grave this summer perhaps be-
cause some cuss sinned and set the
germs flying around"
Startling illustrations OF the "rapid
vengeance of God against blasphemers
/ and sinners" and denunciation of the
lack of proper observance of the Sab
bath preceded the call to the trail. in
which Sunday became unusually We
hement.
