Of chiIdrens tiny hands, and gurgles
of amusement hlled the tabernacle

preached to 5000 Washington kiddies
and their companions his famous
Flag" sermon.
sermons Billy has preached. His won
derful personality was never more ap-
parent. He had the kiddies going
right from the start He would ask
them questions and without fail, they
would answer.
1t ran something like this: Billy
would take q flag and hold II up.
"What kind of nag is this?"
american" nifty voices would ring
out
How many stars has it?'
But there was a diversity OF opinion
n this point and Billy had to tell
hem.

"One time I read OF q man who ad-
ertised that he wanted a boy to
ome to work In the store and there
ere about twenty-five boys came
round" continued Billy. some had
heir hair combed, some didn't, and he
Icked out a boy and he said, Boy.

when / was, one time, up in New
London. Conn, a man said Come here,
Mr.. Sunday, get on board this boat !
got on board and went across the
river and climbed up a hill and there
stood a fort that stood there in the
Revolutionary war, ana there 10
big stone place and right in the mid
die of II is a brass star and on that
brass star said, Here's where Bene-
diet Arnold sat when they came in and
burned It and destroyed everything
but one stone house
Arnold n Mean Chap.
Let me tell you what kind of boy
Benedict Arnold was when he was a
boy. He was learning a trade, and
you have been In a drug store where
they have a big bowl made out of
iron and a big stone. He would put
glass in there and pounu II up fine
and scatter IL around on the floor.
and the boys would come in barefoot
ed and step on II and then he'd laugh
at them. So, no wonder he became
a traitor.
81 used to run foot races. There
wasn't anybody in the United states
that could beat me. I could run 100
yards i'm ten seconds. ! could run
around the diamond when ! played
baseball in fourteen seconds II
could get a start ON fellow II ne
could run as fast as I could he never
could catch me. So that Is the time
to learn those things when you are
young. / can run now and take
jump here and turn a sOmersault
over in the air.
so, / want you to learn when you
are young. Now II says that the
boys were playing. l have OFTEN
wondered what the girl were playing.
Well, II would not look nice 10 see
girls play leap frog: IL Is all right
for boys. The girls can't play ball.
II a boy stood over there and anoth-
er over here and she went TO throw
a ball to that boy she'd hit that boy
over here. That's what the girls DO
Here's the way boy does. Look! lie
knows how to do It but girls do this
way.
Playing Dolly, May BE.
81 suppose some of them are play
ing dolly. some OF the girls are max
ing mud pies. but they were having
a good time. Nobody likes one OF
these saucy, impudent. kind OF girls
