delegation. He praised highly serbIa's
wonderful fight against the German
horde and declared that no nation
on earth had shown more loyalty to
the cause OF humanity than has little
Serbia" Billy spoke of the coercion
of Serbia into the great war and en-
phasized that ''the Kaiser thought he
could shoot his damnabIe kultur into
US. too"
"Kultur." shouted Billy. "the kul-
tur that cuts of mems hands; that
sits by and watches Turks murder
innocent women and children; that
drops bombs on hospitals and kills
the baby and the old woman. That's
the kind of stun that they think
they can hand us over here. But
they can't. Wen show that dirty
bunch that we won't stand for it
and we'll show 'em quick, too"
Billy invited the Serbians to the
platform and when they arose the
great crowd went wild with enthu-
siasm. 1t cheered and hurrahed
and shouted and cIapped its hands
for many minutes. All the while
the delegates stood on the platform,
surprised by the reception and al
most bewildered. None of them
spoke a word. But the tears
dropped down their cheeks as they
acknowledged with frequent bows
the cheering and shouting.
The evangelist, after the cheer
ing. walked to the edge of the
platform and repeated this:
My home is heatless,
My socks are feetless;
My pantry's eatless,
My pants are seatless.
Gee, how I love the Kaiser"
/, Billy, at each OF his services, paid
high tribute to Dixie" He declared
last night that IF you're tired OF liv-
ing and you want to hear the choir
sing Lead Kindly Light and want to
have the undertaken pump you full of
embalming fluid, Just go down into
Dixie and say something against the
government"
''The eyes of the world are on Wash
ington," said the evangelist. TITS the
worlds first city. This is Gods hour.
And II the city of Washington will get
on its knees the whole earth would
feel the influence of Gods work in
this great city of power, of wealth and
of influence. Never before in its his
tory has Washington had the oppor-
tunity 1t has now TO come out solidly
for Christ and to go over the top
for Christianity"
Billy's sermon hit the liquor traffic
from every angle. He pictured the
thousands Of lives ruined by booze and
OF the millions who will stand at the
judgment day and point their fingers
at the traffic that drove them to
hell" Billy thanked the Senate and
the House for the vote on the national
prohibition amendment. and declared
he expected to live to preach the
funeral sermon Of the booze traffic in
America.
He raped divorce and the "sins of
society,"" and ridiculed the girl who
preferred "the ukelele player and the
cigarette smoker to the honest young
chap in overalls." The sermon was
replete with "Sundayisms." He in
jected a batch Of Sunday gymnastics"
in his actions, and frequently he ran
across the platform, jumped on top
OF the wooden chair near his pulpit;
climbed to the pulpit itself; pounded
his fist with such force on the rostrum
that many persons in the audience
feared Billy would injure his hand
in fact, did all the characteristic SUM-
day stunts. except take of his coat
and vest and collar and necktie. But
that's coming soon!
1t was wonderful day for Wash
ington-and for Billy.
