II remained for Capt. David Fallon,
an English army officer, who was bad
ly shot up" overseas, to put he
pep" into the patriotic end of To
big meeting. He referred to Presidelt
Wilson's peace principles as the -four
teen commandments" and declared 1T
Germany won't accept them we'll
cram them down her dirty neck, by
force of arms" And Capt. Fallon
added that IL there were any friends
Of Germany on this. side of the water
who didn't like it," then ''send them
hack to the damned country from
which they came"
Although Germany has been ION the
trigger for forty years" empha sized
Capt. Fallon. when you boys get at
them with the bayonets they will run
like hell"
After the applause that greeted this
remark, Billy Sunday injected this:
They won't know what hell is un-
Til Uncle Sam gets after the dirty
bunch
Billy told the ushers 10 pass up"
the soldiers when it came to collec-
ions. He told them to "frisk every
body but the boys in khaki" And
they did. 1t was good collection.
Mr.. Sunday was handed a note by
Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, in
which the latter wrote that his home
State was the first to ratify the recent
national prohibition amendment.
Devil Due for shock.
when the devil gets returns from
Dixie" commented Billy, he'll have
pneumonia
Billy's-se sermon was on Jacob" He
pictured Old Jacob returning home
after twenty years wandering in
Egypt and Billy hobbled across the
wooden platform dragging his right
leg after him in much the same way
he said old Jacob did when he went
out to meet Esau. The basis of the
sermon was the efficacy OF prayer.
Billy declared the United States has
the army and the navy and the men,
hut what we want IN this crisis is
the country on its knees in prayer
and We will defy the devil and put
1t all over that dirty German bunch. :"
You can't pray Thy Kingdom
Come and look at God through a
beer glass at Dutch lunch" shouted
Billy. You can't pray Thy King
dom Come and go to a theater and
watch. girl do stunts with not
enough clothes on her to flag a
freight train"
Billy switched on from his SER
mon a bit and got on to the high
cost of living. He declared he couldn't
see how the wage Garner today "can
DO IL with eggs at 80 cents dozen.
And ne added "1t doesn't cost the hen
any more today to lay an egg than
it did ten years ago."
He labeled as a ''hoId-up" the ac-
tions Of some persons in Washing
ton who have jumped their. room
rents from $40 a month to $40. Th
only difference between that sort
OF thing and highway stunt, H.
SAID, is that the hold-up man uses
a gun"
Sunday On Wives.
Billy went strong for the wives"
near the close up of his talk. Here
are few of his "Sundayisms" or
husbands and wives:
Try praising your wife, even IL
it does hurt you"
IF some Of you would go all day
without cursing your wife, shed
think you were sick"
You'd spoil a mule IL you'd treat
IL like you do your wife,"
The only time you tell her of
love is when you're 100 miles away
and you send her a post card"
IF some fellows would talk to a
waitress like they do to their wives
they wouldn't have tooth left in
their heads"
Many a man wouldn't amount to
a hill of beans but for the fs0-
pound wife who stands. back OF
him"
