Motherhood Big Job.
THE biggest place in the world is
that which is being filled by the peo-
pie who are closely in touch with
youth. Being a king, an emperor, or
a president is mighty small business
compared with being a mother or the
teacher of children, whether in a pub
lie school or in Sunday school, and
they fill places so great that there
isn't an angel in heaven that wouldn't
be glad TO give a bushel Of diamonds

Then Billy praised the singing of
mothers. He said the song OF
mother was the best music in the
world.
There is no brass band or pipe
organ that can hold a candle to
mothers song. Calve, Melba. Nordica,
Eames, Schumann-Heink-[h are

There are many forms OF gambling.

this is to be the subject of Some warm

BILLY SUNDAY BUYS

AND BOOSTS PLAN

Billy Sunday bought a "smileage
book" today.
A smileage book is a book contain
ing tickets to cantonment theaters, and
they are on sale in all the large cities
OF the country. The home folks are
buying them and mailOhG them to the
soldiers in the camps so that the boys
can take i'm the shows being pro-
vided by the War Department Com
mission on Training Camp Activities.
Regular road companies under the
management OF leading theatrical men
are making the circuit of the camps,
and the smileage coupons admit the
fighters to these shows as well as the
movies.

small business compared to molding
the life OF a child"
In these words, Billy Sunday
climaxed one of the strongest SER
mons OF the Washington revival at
the Union Station Tabernacle this
afternoon on Mothers" He followed
this statement with the following:
And there is a mighty power in
mothers kiss-inspiration. courage,
hope, ambition in a mothers kiss

He had given you His right hand.
Many Fathers No Good.

the safety OF their children is con-
cerned.
"If you mothers would be more
careful about that young buck who
comes shying around your girl she
wouldn't be going down the line this
afternoon.

BabyhOOd of Moses.
Billy took the babyhood OF Moses
as the basis OF his sermon. The text
was Exodus 11:9. Take this child
and nurse 1t for me. and Will give
thee thy wages"
The story OF Moses, the babe in the
rushes, is one OF the most interesting
OF the Bible. II has been used by
preachers time and again for sermons
on Mothers" but never before had
1t been so graphically told as it was
by Billy Sunday in the tabernacle

Billy Sunday. the Winona Lake

some into his own a. a national figure
with the introduction of his New
York campaign which netted him
some 100. 900 trail hitters. has reached
an important point in his career. He
doesn't say this, but observers OF his
strenuous life as the champion devil
fighter OF America who are In the
councils of the evangelist, say that
this Is so. Billy has one OF the great
est decisions Of his life to make. the
greatest, in fact, outside the one that
brought him into the ranks OF Car!s-
tians over thirty years ago.
The question is whether to go out

The nature OF this last prospective
campaign would differ from all others
inasmuch as Billy would be used ex-
clusively in speaking before audiences
composed of American and English
missionaries who are described as
being in much need OF just some such
impetus-giving genius as Billy's for
"reconsecreation" purposes.
Some OF these missionaries, IL is
said on creditable information, have
shown inclination, in spots, to assimi-
late some OF the spiritual aurora OF

ly, become mixed. unthoughtfully per-

ing Billy's decision Is that Of DIR. A..
C. Dixon's. pastor OF the Metropolitan

to conduct a series OF evangelistic
meetings in London at any time that
suited Sundays convenience. Such
negotiations as have been going on
between DR.. Dixon and Billy have
the support of church interests in
