Let the Lord OF Hosts Be With
Us"
Billy Sunday urged this as a new
war slogan for our army and navy
in his morning sermon on Broken
Down Affairs" which marked the be-
ginning Of the second Of his eight
weeks campaign to drive the devil
from the Capital He preached to a
crowd of 1000. among whom were
Secretary of the Navy Daniels and
other notables.
Several times Billy diverged from
his sermon to express patriotic senti-
ment or to deliver a characteristic jab
at "the Kaiser and his bunch of
bloodthirsty thugs" He seemed to
preach particularly to the large ag-
gregation Of men in uniform present
and before beginning his sermon he
suggested that washingtonians be GER
tain before they left the Tabernacle
that every soldier and sailor under
the roof was fixed up for his Sunday
dinner"
Lateeomer. stop Sermon.
Take a soldier home to dinner with
you." he shouted genially. They al
ways do 1t down in Atlanta Gee! If
you want some genuine hospitality
take the train South.
Take a soldier home to dinner with
you, folks. Give them a little touch
Of home. He'll enjoy it,
For almost the first time since he
opened his campaign in the National
Capital Mr.. Sunday found it necessary
at the morning sermon to stop his
sermon and request the ushers not to
seat latecomers.
Mr.. Sunday took his text from the
first book of Kings, the eighteenth
chapter and the thirteenth verse: He
repaired the affairs OF the Lord that
were broken down."
Lots Of US are afraid, my friends.
that we will do something sensation
al I have no more patience with
such a man than have with a horse
that will shy at a wheelbarrow, or a
over the sight of a mouse. A safe
ministry is like a safe horse, one that
any woman can drive.
And If you wish to see a dead
church awakened, oh, do something
out of the common. There's plenty
Of Bible authority for not pushing a
thing aside because it seems sensa-
tional."
Pandemonium reigned when Billy
climaxed one Of his arguments . for
Christ with the convincing belief that
the Stare and Strips will never DIP
to that God-forsaken rag Germany
holds over her gang Of bloodthirsty
thugs
Flags German CutthrOats.
Il don't give three whoops fol
Germany's AZ centimeters; 1 don't
give three whoops for her 16-inch
guns; I don't give three whoops
for old Hindenburg-" the he
stopped abruptly for a moment and
turning to Rody: What's the name
Of that other cutthroat." Then
turning again to his audience, he
stamped with vigor: Nor do 1 give
three whoops for him either.
For we have Pershing and Sims
and millions of the finest and brav-
est men in the world across the
way and millions and millions OF
the finest and bravest men in the
"OEiO awaiting Ine call TO DaCk
them up, and if Germany ever
lands on American soil she will
buck up against a bulwark which
will knock her dizzy"
In fervent prayer, prefixed by his
Say. Lord" Billy Sunday made sup
plication that victory might be
ours" and that "the line in France
might never give way"
He asked that wisdom and
strength be given the President and
his aids and to everyone who is
playing a part in the winning OF
the war"
Bishop Whitford Mcdowell, dis
trict superintendent of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, opened the
services with prayer.
Mr.. Sunday made announcement
that his first "nien only sermon
would be preached in the Taberna-
Gle Thursday night and that another
one entitled Chickens Come Home
to Roost" will be preached in ths
Tabernacle next Sunday afternoon
