tribute from the platform last night.
He told the audience something of

OF his native city, Philadelphia, and
in other sections of the country. Cap
tain Biddle responded by asking that
the audience kneel for one minute in

Billy then took the center OF the
stage. His sermon dealt with sub
jects dear to the heart OF man, and
subjects which, in becoming dear to
the heart OF man. have become detri-
mental to the welfare OF man.
And. incidentally. Billy startled his
audience with the statement that

banded with the Turks to try and
force Mohammedanism down our

Billy's remarks created q stir in the
audience. Preaching on 'HThe Mercies
of God" the evangelist reached the
hearts of many OF the men present,
and when the call finally came for the
trail-hitting, all aisles leading to the
platform where Billy stood in his box
were crowded. A Filipino youth,
J. d. Eliot, of Noblesville, Ind, was
the first trail-hitter to grasp Billy's
