$4,000 COST OF
SUNDAYS REVIVAL
FREE WILL OFFERING FOR THE
EVANGELIST AMOUNTED TO
$21,OOO-HIS NEXT STAY TO BE
IN WASHINGTON.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec 26.-Whlie At
lanta's annual week of grand opera
has been called off for next spring
upon the theory that the people
should put their money into Liberty
Bonds and Red Cross funds and other
movements connected with the war,
Billy Sunday has just closed a revival
that cost the city something more than
5,OOd in perfectly good money.
The largest guarantee that was eve''
required by the Metropolitan Opera
Company to come to Atlanta was in
the neighborhood of $65,0OO, while
Bully Sunday required the local ex
ecutive committee to put up guaran-
tee of $4,000 before he would consent
to come and conduct a campaign
against the devil.
The tabernacle in which he held his
meetings cost $4,000, and will now
be sold for whatever price the lumber
will bring as second hand salvage.
The operating expenses of the revival
were in round numbers about 100000,
making the expense outside of Billy's
compensation in the free will offering.
This amounted to about $21 LAG, max
ing total of soemthing over $4,000.
The free will offering" was made up
of approximately $4,000 put into the
collection pans at the three meetings
Sunday, and $4,000 given by about
$50 citizens who were assessed specific
amounts by the executive committee,
according to their ability to pay and
the amount of good they were sup
posed to have derived from the meet
ing
Following the farewell service in the
tabernacle, Mr.. Sunday and his party
left Atlanta at SIS Monday morning
for Winona Lake, Indiana, where his
is situated. He will spend Christmas
there with his family and open a two
campaign in Washington, D,
G.. about the first of the year,
That the Sunday meeting accomp-
lished great deal of good is admit
ted even by the critics of the revivalist
who disapprove of his methods. The
tremendous publicity given to his ser
mons by the Atlanta newspapers has
carried them to people throughout the
state and adjoining states, who have
been able to read them through they
could journey to Atlanta to hear him.
