What time do you think a man
ought to get up in the morning.

and mental state" Billy answered.

Wants HaIf-HoIIday.
Now, / believe 1t would be a good
thing for this country II every store
would give all their employees a haif'
I holiday once each week winter and
summer. 1t would be a good invest

clerks would work better ana

buy their goods in the shorter time.
I think perhaps that the bill that
some one either has or is going to in

hour more time . day Of daylight by
setting the clock back ought to be a
pretty good thing" ,TI[E
Mr. SUNDAY appeared at Che taber-

Has To BE Careful.
Two of them were closely written
sheets, both carrying unique or I'M
usual sayings, bits Of what purported
TO be quotations entitled L"Gems OF
I Thought"
Here" said Billy rs where 1 have
to be careful. II 1 should use this
stuff, and it happened to be taken
from somebody's copyrighted book,
might get \into trouble-you see:
rever read a word that Sidney c.
Tapp wrote, but, of course. there may
be some things in my sermons that
have been sent me just like this"
There was no name signed to any OF

Many Washington people are won
| dering what Billy will say when he

night eXcoriated the Kaiser and all
/ things German with such fury that
his great audience, $4,000 strong,
! Ieaped UP and cheered for Ave
minutes without cessation.
Pictured CrueIties.
lie pictured the cruelties OF the
| Germans in Belgium, the terrible per
secution on Armenian Christians by
the Turks. the sufferings of Serbia,
Poland, and Roun1nla, and the In
defensible murder of women and
children through submarine warfare.
But Billy didn't forget the devil.
His sermon was in the defense OF re-
vivals.
Do you Hooverize? Are you in
favor OF the ship subsidy program
What do you think of conservation in
all its now advocated forms? Will
you vote for Government ownership
of public utilities?
You think al. these things are fine
for. the country?
You do? F.
Well. Billy sunday says that even
these vital things are not needed half
so much by America as a baptism Of
old-time religion!
Get IL, He Advises.
Get IL, advises Billy. There isn't
anything half so good. You can get
old time religion, even IL you don't
/ think so, he says. Even DIR. AleNan-
der Torrey, the evangelist, was an
/ agnostie once-before he was con
verted to Christianity.
The devil is still alive and going
strong" Billy shouted from his plat.
form last night. II haven't had an
| invitation to his funeral yet, even IL
{ am doing my best to put him in the
| hospital.
There are 100000 people in the
United States who don't belong to
| any church." he cried. "why. last
year, out OF 1900 Christians reported
/ by our churches. there was not one
accession on confession!
What we need Is a panic in Telig-
ton! Jesus was a disturber The
Apostle Paul upset things wherever
he went. Why. when he preached
there was either a riot or a prayer
| meeting, one or the other. And the
church today should be a disturbing
element in order to revive religion.
