10000 Pray at Dedication
OF Billy Sundays Tabernacle
Whitman Rcbukcs Those Who Withhold Endorsement Of
Evangelist Efforts" Consccracd Man Doing Gods
Work" Says John d. Rockefeller, Jr

the wilderness and tho tabernacle IN
the greatest city in the world. He
pointed out that the gatherings in the
wilderness were meant to be places OF
vision. and the same necessity is i'm
posed upon the men in the present
campaign TO lift the millions from the
ordinary things so they might see God.
"Mcn think Of New York a. money
mad and pleasure mad" he said. "and I
re jOice that in this tabernacle we have a
monument to your faith and TO n dec
laration of your conviction that the city
needs God. Were Calvin or Wesley
alive to-day they would eXhort us now
TO rise above all crecds and lay our
selves for service on the altar OF the
King"
In reading the Sunday financial state
ment. Arthur NJ. Harris called attention
to the fact that~only $4,000 of the
$4,000 campaign fund had been
raised
After Mr. Harris had urged the audi
cnce to do Its Bit Mr.. Whitfeld's
ushcrs applied their trained efforts TO
passing the contribution baskets. They
came back with $4,000 in them, just
three and half minutes after the col
lection was begun. beating the time al
loted on the schedule by half minute.
William Nottingham. OF Syracuse,
told of the good accomplished by Billy
Sunday in that city and of efforts to
make the good permanent, and then
Governor Whitman spoke.
The Governor rebuked those who
have withheld their Endorsement from
the eyangelistic campaign by assert
ing that 'only the mean and stupid Will
dare to put themselves in opposition to
the bright promise OF these Sunday
meetings.
81 am not greatly concerned with the
theology of Mr.. Sunday he said, nor
DO ! have any large interest in his
methods. II is sufficient for me to know
that he has lifted thousands out of the
mud of selfshness and turned their
eyes to the stars. 1t may offend the fas-
tidious to hear some of his phrases. But
can you believe that the Almighty IS
. offended at the sight OF men and WON
en- lifting their hands to the heavens
in pledge Of better living and finer
thinking
Services in the tabernacle were closed
with a benediction by the Rev. Dr..
Henry A. Stimson, after which the
cafeteria, which the Young Women's
, Christian Association has built along
side the mammoth meeting house,
was dedicated.
The builders Of the cafeteria aimed
to accommodate only 900 persons, but
1000 crowded the building TO hear John
ID Rockefeller. jr., speak
Mr.. Rockefeller, who earlier in the
day had pleaded before his Bible class
for fair play" for Billy Sunday. and
had suggested the class go in body to
the tabernacle, expressed the hope that
the temporary building would be deyel-
oped into a permanent branch of the
Y. W. c. A. He referred to Sunday as
a "consecrated man doing Gods work.
Mrs. Robert Speer, president Of the
national board OF the Y. W. c. A., pre-
sided at the exercises. and Mrs. J. +, l..
Davis, head of the women's work OF the
Sunday campaign, read Scripture les

garity and blasphemy' said Rabbi
Wise, commenting on the prayer. 1T
is the apotheosis of low scifishness,
masking in the guise of high religion"
The rabbi criticised Sundays doc-
trine Of eternal damnaton, as eX-
pressed in the evangelist's phrase:
Look out, or you will be struck out
three times and then get a swat on
the head forever"
Are the crowds that wait upon
Sundayism to be accepted as the last
unanswersble proof that truth is on
a faith to be appraised and checked
up in numbers like the percentage Of
a baseball player? No one can object
to the good 10 which Sunday would
lift men up. but we may and do OBJ
ject TO his dragging down Of God
Sundayism is an indictment Of the
Church and it's triumph means that the
Church has failed. said the rabbi.

atheist who challenges God to strike

ASKS WATER POWER CONTROL.
The memorial to congress by Repre-
sentative Monson of Oneida regarding
control Of the water power resources
and sites in this and other wester n
states is as follows:
Whereas, under the present stat
utes Of the United States large corpo-
rate interests are able to secure con-
troll Of the water resources and power
sites of the several western states and
are monopolizing those resources to
the detriment and general welfare of
the citizens of those states;
Now, therefore, be 1t resolved. that
the congress of the United States be
urged to enact legislation granting I'M
to the federal government authority
to supervise the disposition Of. control
and regulate the remaining water pow
er sites of the United States so as to
best safeguard and protect the inter
ests of the people of the United States
and to so safeguard these natural re-
sources for their use and the use of
posterity which of right and justice be-
long to the people and should be pre-
served unto them"

the house of representatives by the
committee on charitable and penal in
situations today, carrying out the
wishes Of the prisoners in the peniten-

who conferred with them, the one re-
lating to educational facilities is con
sidered the most important.
TIL two other measures seek to pro-
vide state parole office at a salary
of $500 per annum to supervise parole

prisoner is received into the penitenti

animation ! nthe fundamental studies
which are taught in the common
schools of the state. Unless he Is able
to pass the examination he 10 to be In
