SATAN, SALOONS,
and THE KAISER Z
Billy Sunday Attacks the Trio
in Chicago Campaign.

in Chicago Campaign.
Billy Sunday opened his campaign
at Chicago to $4,000 audience in
the new auditorium on the north
side lake front. He delivered three
sermons, morning, afternoon and
evening and the Chicago Tribune re-
ported his entire exhortations, giving
up twenty-five columns of type for
that purpose. Sunday attacked Sat
an, the saloons and the Kaiser at the
same time and all on equal terms. He
scored the liquor business in vigor-
GUS language. He told of the at
tempts of the saloon men to "get
him." of schemes to discredit him
with the "better element" and claim
ed to have put the liquor people out
of $2OO,OOO,0OO worth of business in
the last few years. Sunday said he
asked no quarter from the bunch and
gave none.
What He Is Working For.
In the course of his morning SER
mon Sunday said:
.'Now then, let me tell you some
thing. don't want your IN n -. /
want you. They say, %, he works
for money I haven't got q dollar to-
day that the people of this country
didn't, give me. don't ask people
for one cent. for my services. 1t is
lnobody's business, but the man who
fgives it whether he gives anything or
not So I have never asked for it.
offered Million BY Movies.
II was offered a cold million dol
lars IL I would appear before the
movies and let them take my pic
lures and put them on the film.
said You can't do 1t for q hundred
million. Not that have anything
against the movies, ! haven't, but
you couldn't put my mug on the
movies Tor hundred million dollars.
......r was offered three hundred thou
sand dollars to talk for twenty-four
minutes into q talking machine for
themsto make records. Not that ]
have anything against it, but I said,
.No sir, i will not commercialize
Gods words or Gods cause. .
''Bum Christians"
He proclaimed himself Protes-
tant, and presumed that most OF
those present were Protestants.
" GIVE been: asked" he cried, why
II don't go after the Catholics. an
swered that had no time to go after
any creed because I'm too busy with
the bum Christians in our own Pro-
testant back yard. There are some
bum Catholics, too. But want to
tell you that the Catholic church is
one tnat has stood thru centuries and
will raise its holy spires toward heav-
en- as long as this world stands, be-
cause it always has acknowledged
and worshiped the supreme divinity
of Jesus Christ; and any church that
gets away from that must fall.
Pays Respects to Kaiser.
That's what's the matter In Ger
many-there they think the kaiser Is
bigger than the Saviour, and If they
had q little more religion In Germany
and little less divine right of SOW
bellied and degenerate emperors this
world wouldn't be drenched today hy
that damned and double-dyed devil
in q flood Of innocent blood.

God is on our side-and we'll put

His Favorite Topic.
The speaker then led up to his fav-
orite topic Of intemperance, alignine
those not in favor Of prohibition as
lacking in charity toward the victim
of strong drink. He said:
..The liquor traffic is law defying,
rebellious, anarchisttc, and IN its
schoolhouses Of infamy it is educat-
Ing the people in disrespect OF law,
and It gathers around 1t as Its allies
In crime the gambling dens, the
brothels, and wherever men meet to
plan crime. Here the yegg comes to
divide his swag after he has cracked
the safe and the liquor traffic Is q po.
litical and 1t is q commercial machine

buke. or ostracism, and 1t has dr0p-
ped into the federal and in municipal
and the church plate hundreds Of
fmillions of dollars, but the liquor
traffic, thank God, ,;is folding its tents
and preparing to creep into hell out
OF which 1t wriggled it's carcass:
