New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-04-08

"lla' Sunday stood on the broad
stairway smiling down on the hubuo
Of the first half hour in her New YORK
home. ia the hall, backed up against
the grandfather clock, was Billy, shak-
ing hands heartily with everybody, old
friends and new.
1t was a Billy happier, stouter, more
determined than ever. MA" Sunday
smiled as she saw the group Of men
appraising the muscle in his big arm.
Then her glance fitted happily over
the crowd. taking in John D. RocNe'
Teller. standing modestly IN a corner
and those members Of the executive
committee, men and women, who have
been working to make the Sunday cam
paign in New York a success.
ITS all right murmured MA" Sun
day. as she turned and proceeded up
stairs.
By the broad window Of her sitting
room, looking into the sunset which
still fingered over the crest Of the
Palisades, the eyangelists wife and
partner sank into a big upholstered
chair and uttered a little sigh of tri-
umph.
81 am sure now that We shall succeed
in New York; she said. you know,
we have thought Of coming many times
before this. bat ! never would consent
until ! was sure everything would be
done properly. II wasn't enough to
have committee OF one hundred. II
wasn't enough TO have the influential
men in New York give US their money
or even their sympathy. They had to
be willing to work.

York. Nr. Sunday didn't. He is al

plans for the future. I'm the one that
has 10 look ahead.

fcss that year ago had some fears
about coming TO New York. J haven
Il single one now. ! know from tho
way the ground has been prepared that
the Lord meant us 10 come, and so, OF
course, we shall succeed.
