Evangelist Says Washing
tonians Are Cold to New
Government Clerks.
By ARTHUR JOYCE.

Billy Sunday last night slammed
Washington-and slammed IL hard.
He wanted to know what Washing
tonians are doing for the thousands
Of young women clerks who have
come her to help in the war work,
''besides picking their pockets on
payday"
He referred to these young wom-
en- as the mothers of future gen.
erations" and when he called at
tention to one department where
he was told there are 5000 girls at
work. he shouted:
"Great sticks! There are towns
back IN Iowa, my home State. where
the entire population doesn't exceed
5000 persons. And we have public
schools, churches and a court house
to look after them.
Not Getting Gospel.
what are the churches of Wash
ington doing for these girls? Is II
possible that the churches have for
gotten all about God? why do peo-
pie crowd this Tabernacle night

clerks and men and women work.

work?
"Tll tell you. They are hunger
ing for the Gospel. don't care
whether they're from California or
New York or the cotton fields OF
Dixie-they want the gospel, with
out any frills or feathers. without

well that the gospel hunger is ap-
parent everywhere since. he said,
he's travelled up and down the coun-
try from one end to the other and
that he has shaken the hands of
about 100000 persons. "all of them
spiritually hungry"
There were about 1000 persons in the
Tabernacle. and the applause that
greeted the evangelists denunciation
Of washington's 'laxity in caring for
those within its limits" was deafening.
II was a full minute before he could
go on with the sermon.
Billy got patriotic again. He de-
clared that the American people can
make up their minds that God isn't
going to stand much longer for the
dirty. low-down tricks of that God
forsaken gang Of Internal imps in Ger
many"
God Against Kaiser.
And you can bet your boots" said
Billy. that God is leading the allied
armies against that bunch OF bull
neck Huns Just as he led the armies
OF David and Joshua. You can't ten
me that God is going to permit Ger
many's dirty work through its in
fernal spies. it's pillaging of cities. its
murder OF innocent men and women.
its rape of Belgium to continue much
longer"
The basis of Billy's appeal was that
God will answer any cry for help that
goes up to Him, no matter who sends
out the S S.
He spoke or the prevalence of trou-
bic in the lives of nearly everybody on
earth, and declared that ''if everybody
minded their own business and kept
their noses out Of other peoples af-
fairs. this old world would be better
of. you old hatchet-faced, lantern
jawed. knock-kneed gossiper"' Billy
added that 'the devil himself ducks
up a side alley to avoid meeting a gos-
siper."
