Billy Sunday as a Model.

Scoffers and skeptics at the
Billy Sundays evangelistic work
must be affected by the figures
of his results. Even on the ba-
sis of the crowds drawn, it is an
amazing spectacle, without para
llel in history. An attendance of
a million and a half in eleven
weeks preaching at Boston, has
nothing like it in Christian tradi-
ton.
The ordinary Christian preach
err has a lot to learn from Billy.
That does not mean that he must
pound the table, mount up on the
desk, swing chairs, or sling slang
like Mr.. Sunday. Sunday has a
certain natural physical grace
that makes his antics a natural
expression of his nervous and
passionate utterance. Anyo n e
who tries to initiate him simply
makes himself grotesque.
Wherever Billy goes clergymen
flock to hear him. They do we'll
to study his methods. They can
distinguish many methods used
by Billy that the most dignified
preacher can usefully employ in
his pulpit.
For one thing Billy is tremen-
dously lucid. His language is
clear cut, direct, straight to the
point. He draws his illustrations
and ideas from every day life,
from much contact with men and
things. Different types Of char
acter, different courses of con-
duct, are graphically described
and separated from each other
with absolute clarity. The hear.
er leaves one of Billy's taberna-
cles with certain positive impress
sions that stick in his mind.
No man makes a great popular
appeal unless he does acquire
this habit of clear, lucid, graphic
u%tterance. Many clergymen sur
round their subjects with a hazy
fog of speculation and philosophy
The best intentions and the most
spiritual desires often fail to get
over as they say in the theatres.

sKIM MILK AS PooD.

Although skim milk is recognized as
having great value in feeding animals,
the United States Department Of Agri
culture points out that its value a.
human food should be kept in mind.
BY substituting grain, green feed, but.
termilk, and whey in animal feeding
much skim milk may be left for human
use as a beverage, in cooking, eondens-
ing, or for making cottage cheese.
Only the surplus Of this valuable human
food should be fed 10 stock.
While skim milk is good for stock,
the fact remains that rs highest Ell.
cheney cannot be had through turning
il into meat. Skim milk is used most
economically IN animal production when
fed to hogs, yet 1t takes twenty pounds
when fed alone 70 produce one pound of
pork. The same quantity viii make three
pounds Of cottage cheese. In addition,
cottage cheese contains one and one-half
times ~ much protein and ene-third as
much energy as pork, 80 that the skim
milk in the cheese form gives quite as
much energy and four and one-half
times as much protein as it would if con-
verted into ham or bacon.
Even at the highest prices recently
paid for hogs, skim milk fed to them is
worth not more than one cent pound.
Yet one cent a pOund, or approximately
one cent q pint, is very cheap for any
human food, and particularly for food
90 high in nutritiTe value a. skim milk.

Death of Justin M. Holland, of New
Orleans, La, Who Was One of the
Best Known Colored Men in That
Section of the Country. Special to
the Broad AK

Office of the customs work, Mr.. Hol-
land being depended on to get every
thing in shape for execution. His YER
satility in customs affairs was so evil
dent that every one with a doubt as to
procedure went to Mr.. Holland for ad-
vice, feeling it the safest course to take.
Mr.. Holland thus in every way deserved
the respect paid him by the high and
the low during the l6 years he filed the
main position in the service here. And
as secretary of the local board of Z. s.
Civil Service Examiners, which Mr.. Hol-
land filed for % years, he proved to
be Just the man for the work. When
the duties of deputy collector became
heavier and required all the attention
one efficient man could give to il, Mr..
Holland let the Civil Service Commits
sion know that il was not possible for
him longer to fill the position and urged
the appointment of some one else. The
commission was reluctant, but the fact
that Mr.. Holland would stand ready to
give the board advice, his request to be
relieved of secretary work was finally
complied with.
Mr.. Holland declined to accept Presi-
dent Roosevelt 3 offer to him of the
position of naval officer of this port, pre-
ferring to remain deputy collector where
changes of administration at Washing
ton does not affect the appointee and
where he could continue to serve his
country and his race.
Mr.. Holland was never married, leav-
ing at his death two devoted sisters and
brother. He was always either at
home or at the Office, his Office hours
being from 10 o'clock in the morning
to II o'eloek at night every day Of the
year. He seemed to be the most neces-
sary man in the service. Every branch
Of the service sent floral offerings to his
home on learning of his death. Mr..
Holland had been away from the Office
only 10 days when he died. His body
was taken to Milwaukee, Wis, for ere
nation.

The greatest loss by the race in recent
years in this part of the country was
the loss it suffered in the recent death
of Justin NJ. Holland. The loss was the
greatest by reason of the fact that Mr..
Holland had for sixteen years held the
most important position in the customs
district of New Orleans. 1t was the po-
sition around which all customs matters
passed in review, whether inward or
outward bound, whether Of vast impor-
tanee or of minor importance. 1t was
the position from which or to which
every first step in custom affairs was
taken and it was the one to which the
last step in customs transactions found
itself. Customs collectors came and Gus
toms collectors left under changes of
national administrations, but Justin NJ.
Holland remained always in his position
in actual charge of the affairs, directing
things just the same as if there was no
change in the personnel of the customs
service.
Mr.. Holland first entered the customs
service in 1871, when he was % years
old. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio,
where he graduated in the high school
course of that city and went to the West
Indies Islands, coming to New Orleans
to live in 1868. He became a clerk of
a committee in the legislature of Lou
isiana during the earlier days of the
Reconstruction period, where his duties
brought him in contact with the leading
lights of the state and where he re-
mained until he entered the customs
service. He rose from one position to
another until he became deputy col.
lector of customs in charge of the main
desk in the service. He possessed great
for mastering details and a
most remarkable ability for executive
business. In fact, the collectors or
heads Of the departments had little
more than to put their signatures to the
papers to do as their parts in the main

INCIDENT IN BOND DRIVE PA
fRIoFIc AND PATHETIC, TOO.

One Of the most patriotic incidents
today in connection with the Liberty
Bond drive was the appearance of q
Colored woman 70 years old, who came
10 the Liberty Bond headquarters and
asked how she could help the country.
'I am old, as you see," she said.
"My hands are hard and unable to
knit" she continued, displaying hands
that had worked hard through the
years.
"And my eyesight is not as good as
il used to be. I am too feeble to be q
nurse. But 1 sure would like to help
Uncle Sam in this war"
Then one Of the committee explained
to her that she could buy a Liberty
Bond by making a small payment and
the remainder in installments. 1t was
explained to her that the bonds were a
good investment and that they would
pay her a liberal interest.
"Honey, / amt interested in that.
1 just want to help the soldier boys in
some way" was her comment.
Then from q deep pocket she drew
out a large envelope. In this was q
smaller one and within the latter q
check book. Handing the book to one
of the clerks of the bank the old woman
asked that he write q cheek for $500
worth of Liberty Bonds. At first the
men at headquarters gasped. Then they
eheered and praised the practical kind
of patriotism that is the backbone of
the nation.
"Later 1 want to buy another
$780," concluded the woman who
asked that her name be withheld, as
she wanted no publieity.-FrOm the
