ATLANTA IS AFTER
 SUNDAY FOR 1918
Thousands of Converts Are Expected When Famous Evangelist Comes
 to Birmingham

Unless thousands Init the trail when Billy Sunday comes to Birmingham i'll the spring of 1918, the strenuous evan gelist will not live up to his past rec ords. Furthermore unless the thousands who will flock to the tabernacle to see him smash glass and pound the pulpit open up their purses liberally when he comes around for the free will offering, another precedent will be shattered.
 Birmingham is not the only southern city that hopes to have Billy Sunday in the spring of 1918. Atlanta has started movement, and the mayor and big moneyed man of that city, Asa G. Can dler, has indorsed the action to get the evangelist during the spring of 1918.
 In Boston, where he has just concluded his last campaign, the famous evangelist had 60,509 to Init the trail," and the free awill offering amounted to $51,S00.
 Tn towns the same size as Birmingham, the number of converts has exceeded 10000 each.
