HIT THE TRAIL
Plea at Morning Service for
Larger Contributions by
H. B. F. Macfarland.

Because of the order of the Fuel
Administration closing many
churches, approximately 10000 per-
sons crowded the Tabernacle at the
morning service yesterday. Billy
Sunday preached a great sermon on
Mighty Man Who Cannot Save
and his call for trail hitters"
brought about 400 men and women.
boys and girls, to the platform.
It is customary now, at each OF
the meetings, for someone repre-
senting the Washington campaign
committee to plead for bigger col
lections at the Tabernacle.
1t fell to the lot of II. F. B. Mac
farland to do the appeal stunt at
the morning service. He boosted
the evangelist to the skies and said
he was "the greatest preacher since
John the Baptist" and, Mr.. Macfar-
land added. Jesus said John was
the greatest man born of woman"
There was faint applause. indicat-
ing that the audience wasn't in any
sense unanimous in endorsing the
comparison.
Against Church Unity.
Billy said he's against church
unity. but that he's strong for
Christian unity"
There was a time" said Billy,
when you could not get the people
of God to unite in an effort like this,

religion a crowd has, the more finely
drawn are the denominational lines

Perhaps you can serve God better as

better as an Episcopalian. Different
denominations reflect the different
temperaments of different people
But, We have Christian unity now.
You ask as Methodist or a Baptist
or an Episcopalian, what must dc
to be saved" and he will tell you,
I'VE believe there is a heaven for
the saved and a hell for the damned.
We believe that salvation comes by
repentance and by faith"
I'VE have Christian unity now. The
American people unite together to
fight our common enemy, Germany
across the sea, and so we want the
spirit today to be-everybody unite to
fight the devil. The devil never did
anything for the human race, and yet
it is so hard to get people to forsake
the devil"

SUNDAY ACTS

Members Of Secular League
Say Mean Things About
Evangelist,

You don't want to see Billy Sun
day
Why. he's a regular Sally Ma
gundy;
Billy bellows and begs.
An saddles his legs
An acts like a guy full o. Bur-
gundy." .
Billy Sunday was ''immortalized" in
verse yesterday afternoon, when the
Washington Secular League met in
Pythian Temple to discuss "Sun-
dayism." The verse quoted was the
hrst of many and is a tair sample
Of the whole.
J. J. Shirley. NJ. D.. opened pro-
ceedings by reading a paper COM
pairing the evangelist and Thomas
Paine, much to the detriment of the
former. In fact, the speaker took a
fall out Of Billy on account OF sons
OF the slang expressions used in one
OF his sermons. He did not think
these references devetailed to a nicely
with Christian teachings and said
Billy ought to put the soft pedal on
them in his sermons.
Paine's Position.
DR.. Shirley quoted Thomas. Jeffer-
Son as authority that Paine Was not
cnly one of the greatest writers 0f
English literature that ever existed,
but that his work, Common Sense"
written just l42 years ago this month,
produced such a marvellous effect upon
the public mind that its sentiments
inspired the first steps for American
Independence. Had Paine confined
himself to this work and like brilliant
productions. and not written THE
Age OF Reason" according to DIR.
Shirley. his literary efforts would
now be the most widely-quoted OF
any. author.
On the other hand. the speaker con-
tended that Billy Sunday was making
a farce of religion. and after quoting
some of the doctrines enunciated
through the evangelist's printed ser
mons. asked this question:
rs there any difference in the spirit
Of intolerance displayed by Sunday
and by Cyril, the black-robed monk,
OF Alexandria. at whose instigation the
beautiful and accomplished philoso-
pEer Hypatia was massacred on her
way to her lecture room some 1,50(
years ago? There is only one differ
ence," he went on: BILLY lacks the
power-that's all. Sunday is ], 500 years
older than he thinks he is. He belongs
to the Dark Ages"
John D. Bradley, president Of the
league, spoke in a similar vein. He
read extracts from a Baltimore paper
of two years ago calling Billy down
for some alleged misstatements made
there when he was conducting a cam
paign.
"Age Of Reason
THAT is one Of the things that Billy
unchains with his copyrighted ser
mons and canned religion" commented
the speaker.
He also declared that Mr.. Sunday
claims Paine sent the manuscript for
the Age Of Reason" to Benjamin
Franklin for his perusal and judg-
ment. and that Franklin sent it back
to him with the terse advice to "buIt
it,"
According to the records, said Mr.
Bradley. Benjamin Franklin died three
years before the "Age OF Reason" was
ever printed.

so HIT TRAIL
AFTER SERMON
BY MA SUNDAY
Wife of Evangelist Makes
Favorable Impression at
Women S Meeting.

Fifty trail hitters Is Ma" Sundays
record for her first sermon during
the Washington drive.
After a short and simple talk yes
terday afternoon at the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church, Ma"
shook hands and took signed pledges
from fifty women and girls who "ac-
cepted Christ as their personal sa-
vior."
Ma" had a packed house. Girls
where everywhere. Every seat was
taken, they were standing in the door,
ways, and finally Ma" invited them
to come and sit on the platform steps,
which they did.
Sermon Not "Preachy."
MAS" sermon" isn't bit preachy.
She doesn't use slang a bit, as you
might expect from Billy's constant
companion, only once she gave way,
and then she prefaced her quite in
nocent little bit of slang with "as Mr..
Sunday would say"
Mrs. Sundays talk yesterday was
an appeal to Christians to conquer
all timidity and get out and bring
others to Christ.
Jesus likes an honest effort even
though it fails. better than He does
those who just sit and do nothing. :"
said Ma" 1T may be hard at first,
but Just get up your nerve and do
your best. Sometimes even what you
think is a failure may turn out to
be a big triumph for Christ"
Mas" talk was quite a personal
little address, and 1t evidently touched
the hearts Of her hearers, for no
sooner had she sounded the call than
the trail hitters began streaming down
the aisle. There were several hun
dred who shook Mas" hand, but only
fifty Of them remained to sign the
pledge formally.
Introduces Women Workers.
MA" reviewed briefly Billy's con-
version and finally became confiden-
tial and described her first meeting
With Mr.. Sunday. in a church in
Chicago.
Although the meeting for women
only was on a small scale, it is safe
to say that It was quite as successful
as any which Mr.. Sunday engineers.
Ma" got her quota Of trail hitters,
and though there wasn't a, man in
the house, Of course you couldn't
miss them, and the whole services
went off as smooth as clockwork.
Preceding the sermon, Mrs. Sunday
introduced the women workers of the
Sunday party. The music was lead
by Mrs. ASHER, who has charge of
the extension work among the bus
mess women.

women were playing 'on instru-
ments-horns, flutes and slide from
bones-and the others were singing
the gospel hymns that / used to
hear my mother sing back in the
log cabin in Iowa, and back in the
old church when 1 used to go to
Sunday-school.
And God painted on the canvas of
my recollection and memory a vivid
picture of the scenes of other days

young man stepped out and said:

Mission; won't you come down to

girls tell how they have been saved

"1' through. I am going to Jesus
Christ. We've come to the parting
of the ways" and ! turned my back

BY REVIVALIST'
Curtain of Booze Bullets
. Fired at Saloonkeepers
in Afternoon Sermon.

Billy Sunday fred his wide and
varied assortment of booze bull
lets" yesterday afternoon at his
men only" sermon. Hot Cakes or
the DEVILS Griddle," and favored
them with a tinge of patriotic and
slang baseball lingo to prove to his
hearers how foolish 1t is to try to
camoufage their vices. Seven hum
dred men answered his call for trail
hitters.
In the course of this sermon
Billy tells the story of how a short
time after he had been converted.
and while he was still with the Chi
cago nine, he made prayer to
God that he might catch a "hy"
ball which would win the game for
his team.
Reverses "Casey" Stunt.
II knew IL this player hit" Billy
explained, "he would hit to me. The
score was 3-to-2 in our favor, and
We were in the ninth inning with
two out. Crack! The moment 1

I cautioned Him that He wouldn't
have much time to make up His
mind as the ball was sure whizZing.
And while I was praying / was
running and just as I finished

Mr.. Sunday told the men that II.
when he had finished here and was
ready to go to Chicago they took him
over at the end of the Potomac bridge
and tied a milestone around his neck
and threw him over. they would at
least have to admit as he sunk from
sight that there goes one man who
wasn't afraid to preach the truth"
He caused a patriotic outburst when
he dramatically declared that before
he would see SAmerfea's religion and
principles backed OF the board he
would bare his breast to Germany and
say, Damn you. shoot"
Promise was made by Billy to preach
his well-known sermon, "Boozer, Get
on the Waterwagon," next Sunday
afternoon. He especially invited some
of you fellows who want the saloons
reopened in the National Capital"
This is the sermon. which he is pleased
to remind, gives the brewers cold
