The kaiser and Prussianism came in
for another scathing denunciation by
Billy Sunday at last nights meeting at
the Tabernacle before a large crowd. So
vehement was the evangelist in his
fierce condemnation of the German en-
peror that it seemed as IL he could not
choose words strong enough to carry
out his thoughts.
1t did not take him long when he
started in to denounce the kaiser before
Mr.. Sunday had his audience applauding
loudly and frequently. Billy aroused his
audience to a high pitch of excitement
with his rapid-flre epithets. and gave
quotations which he said were from
recent speech by the kaiser.
The evangelist asserted that the
kaiser believed that he Uhe kaiser)
was the instrument of God, and that
he had said: "I received this crown
from Gods hand"
German Thinkers Not Christians.
Mr.. Sunday said that the leading
thinkers of Germany were not Chris
tians. How can they be Christians
when they repudiate the teachings Of
Christi" asked the evangelist. The
German authorities are opposed to the
moral code of God and even condone
bigamy. said Mr.. Sunday.
1T is not Gods plan that Germany
should rule the world" said Billy. 1T

Several Hundred Hit the Trail.
At tho close of his sermon the evan.
gelist sounded his appeal for trail-hit-
Mr.. Sunday spoke. IN part:
Some things must be faultless in or.
der to be valuable. The value Of dia-
mond depends on its quality. not its
quantity.

Man Known by Five Things.
"Character-a man may be known by
five things First, his character. what he
ie: second. his conversation. what he
says: third. his conduct, by what he does:
fourth, his contributions, what he gives;
fifth, his creed. what he believes.
Love Is the greatest thing In the world.
Character is the grsandest. 1t will remain
when all things else are taken away You
your money is gone. 1t will stay when
your friends are forsaking you. You can't
burn UP character. You can burn up
money. you can burn your house. you
UP your character.
cit won't blow away. It can't be lost
You can't buy character. A reputation
may be lost in one act of your life. You
can lose a reputation that it's taken you
a lifetime to build up.
Character Needs No Epitaph.
Character needs no epitaph on its
tombstone You may bury man and his
character will beat the hearse back from
the cemetery. He will walk the streets
long after his name has been obliterated
by time from the tombstone. There are
men that lived in this city years and
years ago-you have forgotten their
names. but they are still living. either re-
produced in benedction or curse.
Character has to be flawless; and I
bring before you Jesus Christ. Can you
find any fault in him? He claimed to he
the Son Of God. and can you prove that
that claim was false? All right. all right.
I challenge you. Can you find any flaw
in that claim? Didn't he talk like the
Son of God should have talked? And
didn't he talk like you would IL you had
thing that you wouldn't have said II you
had been the Son Of God instead OF him.
Doesn't Your Heart Prove Jesusp
"Did any words that are recorded
that He spake show that He had no
right to say what He said or do what
he QlQ. SdH YOU any uileIduCcS
that are out of place In the Son Of
God? Don't your own heart say that
every word Jesus Christ said was true?
HE declared God to be what every
true heart wants God to be. He de-
clared that God loves men and that
He was willing to forgive men il they
had gone astray and IL they would re-
pent. Can you find any fault with
that? Isn't that what you feel that
God must be in order to be God?
"No matter what we have done. God
says, "All am waiting for you to do
is to express your sorrow for that sin.
and forgiveness. full, free and perfect
and eternal. is yours.
And every word shows that God is
rood and God is merciful and patient
and God is forbearing; and there is not
a word said about Gods anxiety to
punish; He wants to make us all good.
can YOU find any fault with that?
"Do you object to the physician who
wants to make you well? Well. do
you object to anybody that wants to
do something that will make you tell
the truth instead OF a lie? Do you
object to anybody that wants You to
be sober instead of drunk?
