CHURCH pulling"
MOTHEATENSTUFF,
BILLY COMPLAINS

The churches and church members
were again assailed by Billy Sunday
this afternoon in his first sermon on
personal Work." before the usual
audience.
THE multitude in the church" he
said. will have to be converted them
selves before they can do any con-
verting on the outside.
1.-THE trouble is we are too facka-
daisical in our religion. We are
dead, llfeless.
81 want to- say to the deacons,
stewards. vestrymen. prudential COM
mittee. that they should work and
the place to begin is right in your
own home.
Then you need the Holy Spirit.
Without Him you cannot do anything.
The spirit OF God works through clean
hands. There are too many dirty
hands, too many dirty people trying
to preach a. clean gospel. have
known men that have preached the
truth and God has honored the truth.
although their lives were not as they
should be. But God honored the
truth and not the people who preach
ed the truth. But IL they had been
Christians themselves then God would
have honored them more. because He
would have honored them and the
truth.

Calls For silence.

Once he pleaded for silence.
please, please he said. ITS
harder for me than for you; I'll get
through. II you'll help"
Tonight outside the Tabernacle there
will hang the first For Men Only" sign
OF the campaign. Billy will preach to
the male sex exclusively. and the sub
ject OF his sermon will be The Mercies
OF God" II was at first thought that
there would be room for some women
in the audience. but Miss Frances Whit
beck said today that the reservations
already made for men would preclude
any reservations for women.
The meeting Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock will also be for men only. Billy
will preach one OF the most famous OF
his sermons. When Your Chickens
Come Home to RoOsL" Thousands Of
reservations have already been made
and others are hourly pouring In.
In his sermon last night Billy again
threw down the gauntlet IF defiance
to his defamers. declaring his sensa-
tionalism better than the present
stagnation.
And stagnation Is damnations" he
added.
81 can't imagine anything more
sensational than for some IT you peo-
pie to be decent" he shOu'ed.
Then Billy took up the troubles OF
strangers in Washington and raped
the boarding house keepers and the
landlords who are responsible for the
high rents.
Treat these people vi. come to
Washington Ia work for Uncle Sam
with little considera ion Billy
cried. Don't pick their p..,'kets clean
or consider them merely g.. assets for
you"

Help Yourself First.


"A man must experience religion to
know God. All you know of God is
what you read in some book or what
you heard somebody else talk about:
you haven't lived so that you could
learn first-handed. There Is too much
secondhand stuff in the church. II
Is your privilege to know and TO
have salvation. Jesus said to Peter,
When you are converted. strengthen
thy brother You are not in a po-
have helped yourself. God doesn't
save on the .installment plan. A man
is either on the road to heaven or on
the road to hell. God doesn't do
things by halves.
"It has been said that God made
the birds without wings, and they
hoped and crept around, but didn't
sing, and after a while God put wings
on them and they commenced to sing.
Not on your life. When God made
the birds, He made. them all. God
does not have to double on tho trail
and back-track. When the Lord does
job. He finishes 1t right. and you can't
, improve on It.
The trouble with a lot OF you church
members, you spend too much time
dreaming over The Lady OF the Lake.
Milton, Bacon. Shakespeare, Chaucer.
and a lot Of such things-you can quote
Shakespeare by the yard for the devil.
and he will give you the ha-ha. II you
take the word Of God, He Will take the
, crown.

All Need Christ.

so many church members know moth
irg about the Bible. A preacher will
take a text from the Bible and get as
far from 1t as the east Is from the west
A young preacher just out OF the SEM
mary said, Must / confine myself. my
preaching. 10 the Bible?' Just like a
shrimp would say. Must l eonfine my
roaming to the Atlantic Ocean, I'm
agine a little minnow saying. Must !
confine myself TO the Atlantic OCEAN,
Must / confine myself to the Bible
Just as IL his intellect would exhaust 1t
In two or three sermons.
1--WE have cut loose from the Bible,
and any man who is living contrary
to the Bible Is a sinner, whether he
feels like a sinner or not. Every man
who IL living contrary to the laws is
criminal, whether he feels like IL
or not. A man who breaks the law
of God is a sinner. and is on the road
to hell, whether he feels like 1t or like
saint Jesus came into the world
to reveal God to man, and man re
veals Him to man.
THE only revelation we have OF
Jesus is through the Bible. You have
got to know Jesus to know God; that's
how ! get through there. There is
no revelation for God to make OF
Himself greater than He has made
through Jesus Christ. 1t Is not pos
sible for the human intellect TO have
a greater conception OF God. Every
man needs Christ. Jesus il the
Savior that he needs and he has got
to know the Bible to show what II l.
that makes Jesus the Savior. He
needs a Savior and now is the time
to accept the Savior and be saved.
That's what the Bible says"

$50 Trail HItters.


When a. was all over and everybody
that wanted to come forward had
done so, $50 cards were counted IN
the postoffIce. accurately telling the
number OF penitents Billy reached
with. his hrst invitation.
This is the largest number OF trail
hitters the evangelist has ever reeeiv-
ed in a town the siez OF washington
ON the initial call. Approximately
10 600 peopIe crowded the tabernacle.

BiIIy lit into the middle of his sermon
with both feet and tore things wide
open for thirty-fve minutes. He was
preachag his famous THE Hour is
| Come" sermon. known as the trail
| hitter" sermon because Billy has es-
tabIished what almost amounts to
precedent in calling for trail-hitters
on the night this sermon is delivered
Billy suffered intensely from the
strain on his voice during the ser
mon. Immediately after he finished
speal<InE he leaned over the press
box and told newspaper men that
although 1t was painful for him TO
deliver n sermon he would not allow
his throat to keep him from turther
work.
II caught it at Camp Meigs." he
/ said, talking to the boys out there,
But I'm glad that / caught my cold
I in such work"
At the outset OF the services last
night the audience was cautioned by
] Rodeheaver to refrain as far as pos
sibIe from coughing or from making
J any unnecessary noise. Notwith-
standing Rody's warning, Billy was
several times forced to stop during
his sermon.

"AII who have. come forward aud

HEAVIER shouted as Billy finished
speaking. The choir back Of the
evangelist began to sing softly, Just

Billy jerked up sort of trapdoor
in the platform and stepped into the
pit.
And the trail-hitting began.
Secretaries and key men" hurried
forH ard in front OF a wave OF trail
hitters and took their places on
either side of the evauEeHst.
The Tabernacle was a scene OF con
fusion for a moment as every oOdS
rose to witness the first traii-hitters
marching toward Billy. There was
some difficulty In separating those
who merely Wished. to look on ana
those who wished to get into the
aisIes to hit the trail.
Mrs. Homer Edison and Percy Fos-
ter were the first in line and to MIS-.
Edison belongs the distinction of be-
ing the first traiI-hitter in Washing
ton. Foster took second place.
