AMERICAN SPIRIT
OF SONG IS FOUND
IN REVIVAL MUSIC

In the literal sense OF the word
the music Of the service in the Billy
Sunday tabernacle is revivaI-for
It brings to life again all the whole
hearted enthusiasm with which the
1 fOrefathers OF the American people
sang together their hymns Of faitn
and courage and OF cheer
So inherent in the nation. so out
, OF the spirit of our ancestors comes
the accord with which this mass OF
humanity raised its voice in these
I hymns dedicated to right and happy
/ living. a at 1t would acclaim this type
OF music-born out Of the hope Of
the religious heart OF the first Amer
! icans-the true folk-music Of the land
OF the Pilgrim Fathers.
The people Of the United States in
early settler days sustained their
courage through many hardships by
just such united praise and prayer in
song. The children OF these people,
who live today in a time OF stress
complicated by the greatest spirit OF
unrest that has ever engulfed the
world. seemed again to feel joy IN
a return to the simplicity and to the
direct appeal that these hymns ex-
press, and that they expressed In
singing them
Hear America Singing.
Listening to the great chorus OF
J LOO voices, and hearing the larger
chorus of some $4,000 voices from the
great auditorium added to this. in
the refrains of many of the songs.
the answer to Americas pioneer poet
comes when he wrote: Il hear Amer
lea singing"
1t was an impressive America,
without barrier of creed or station,
who sang earnestly-what? Was it
not. perhaps. just the simple desire
of many hearts for a long-neglected
communion with goodness and fell
lowship?
Far back, the American was deeply
religious in heart and life, but Ameri-
ca Is ever in the making. The tradi-
tions that are dear to many have no
share in the memories OF the stranger
who also is a citizen among US.
Message to Stranger.
To the stranger the revival of this
message may bring some realization
of the fundamental kindness and sim
pie religious hope OF the people to
whom he has come for refuge. This
kindness has been getting crowded
out, it Is true, and has often lost itB
way amid the thoughtlessness ana the
hurry and the frivol of the crowd. II
stands indestructibly stamped. how
ever, in the large choral spirit OF
hymns such as these. With so hearty.
so united an expression as the singing
at the tabernacle. surely many who
have not felt the simple faith and
ideals that underlie the government
Of the people. may find II in joining in
so great a chorus. whose song Is de-
voted to the praise OF God and to the
service OF mankind.
The memory OF song is the most
lasting of influences. There is sound
philosophy in the hymns that these
people sang and tunes that will keep
them alive. A large demand for the
phonograph record OF Brighten the
Corner Where You Are" Is already
reported. 1t will carry its good advice
into a home where the memory of II
will belong to the singing OF the
great chorus of the Billy Sunday
Tabernacle in Washington.

BILLY UNABLE
TOPREACHAT
SERVICE THIS
AFTERNOON

Billy Sunday will not preach this
afternoon.
This announcement was made to-
day Immediately after an eXamina-
ton of the evangelist's throat by
Dr.. Charles W. Richardson. 1t was
found that his throat was too sore
to allow him to preach at the after
noon service. He is expected to de-
liver the sermon at the tabernacle
tonight.
DR.. Ward TO Preach.
DR.. Isaac Ward, director OF mems
work for the Sunday organization.
will take the place OF the famous
evangelist at the afternoon service at
the tabernacle Or. Ward has been 4
co-worker of Billy Sunday for many
years, and is familiar with the evan
genst's work.
When Billy arose this morning his
throat was very sore. although it
showed some Improvement over the
condition of yesterday. Rather than
take a chance on permanent Injury to
a throat already in bad condition.
Billy announced that he would rest
through the afternoon in order TO be
in better condition tonight
Saddened By Gardner's Death.
The news OF Congressman Gardeners
death at Camp Wheeler. Ca, yester-
day afternoon was received by the
evangelist today through the news
papers He was greatly distressed.
Billy has always been a warm adrntreT
OF Major Gardner.
The country has lost one of its
most valued men," he said, through
the death Of Major Gardner"
He was always far ahead OF his
time, and l admired his preparedness
stand in the country's politics very
much. Had the United States needed
the advice OF Gardner, the war would
possibly have been over by this
time"
BillY arose at the usual time today
and went to a breakfast OF milk and
a posched egg. He was not allowed
20 do any talking except to speak a
few words from time to time
Anxious Over Condition.
Members of his party are anxious
about the ultimate outcome Of the
evangeHst's throat condition. That
he may have to give up evangelical
work, as he has repeatedly been ad-
vised by physicians, is the opinion OF
at least one member Of his party.
But Billy will not give up the ship
without a fight, and it is considered
certain, II the evangelist does not

trouble, that he will finish the cam
paign here.

allies Meat Purchases.
From the London Times.

Major Aston, replying to Mr.. Cautley,
says that the whole of the beef, mutton,
and bacon purchased in the United States
by the food controller is purchased by
the allied provisions export commission.
The purchases are actually effected
through the United States food admins
%tration, which deals with the packers COL
lectively on behalf of all the allies. By
this means competition between the allies
is avoided, and a uniform price is paid by
all the buyers interested, including the
American army.
The frozen meat contracted for up to
September % was approximately 1875, 900
tons, of which 49,, 600 tons had been
shipped at that date, leaving a balance of
1900 tons still to be shipped. The bacon
and hams contracted for UP to September
% amounted to 522, S26 tons, all of which
had then been shipped except 43, $50 tons.
The contracts are placed with all the
packing houses who are in a position to
tender supplies to the United States
food administration, and whose tenders
are approved by that administration. The
prices paid for meat vary from month to
month, according to the condition of the
market, but are fixed by the ad,ninistra-
ton. These prices have ranged up to 26
cents (about Is. 1d.) per pound. The prices
paid for bacon and hams vary in like
manner, and also in the case of the diff
ferent cuts. They ave ranged from, 2O1a
cents (about 10Ad.) to 34H cents (about
Is. 5Md.) per pound. It is not the case
hat the buyers Considerably over
bought" as Mr.. Caut,ey suggested. The
packers are asking to be allowed to post
pone delivery, and cannot accept orders
which the food controller would be glad
to place with them.
In reply to another question Major Astor
says: 1.-THE quantities of white flour i'm
ported from the United States of America
during the present cereal year are below
our pre-war Importation. A very small
amount of imported flour is being re-
leased for admiXture with G.. r. flour
for the loaf, and millers are allowed to
diminish the extraction from wheat, thus
providing an increased amount of offals
for stock feeding.
