HELL VS.. HEAVEN,
SAYS BILLY SUNDAY
German Eagle Now Blizzard, De-
cIares Gymnastic Evangelist

New York, Feb 19.--Speaking last
night in Carnegie nall Billy Sunday
paid his respects 10 the Kaiser and
save his opinion of. those who We're
not with the government heart and
soul The evangelist was in good
form, and he bounded about the
platform, pounded upon the stand, anu
With hands and feet emphasized the
points he made. When he ended it
was a, dishcvelcd, prespiring evangel-
list who hammc cred on the stand and
shouted to his audience: oh, let us
put 1t over for JesuS Christ.
The meeting was given by the sun
day Campaign choir, of which Tali
Essen Morgan is the leader. 1t has
maintained an organization ever since
the reVivalS last spring There We're
900 members present about $50 on
the stage, and the remainder in the
top gallery. William Speycr presided,
and Mr.. Sundays choir leader, Homer
RodeheaVer, was present with his slide
trombone and a new patriotic song,
We'll Be Waiting When You Come
Back Home
'Coming Father Woodrow.
The evangelist said that the Old
song, 1--WE Are Coming Father Abra-
ham, a Hundred Thousand Strong"
would have to be changed to I'VE
Are Coming, Father Woodrow, Ten
Million StrOng.'
81 tell you" he shouted, lit is Bill
against Woodrow, Germany against
America, hell against heaven. Germany
lost out when she turned from Christ
to Krupp, and from the Cross of CAL
vary to the Iron Cross
There was d burst of applause
when he declared that the German
eagle had become a buzzard. He re
called that the Kaiser had said in
1914 that he would eat his Christmas
dinner in Paris. and then brought
down the house when he shouted
He will be lucky if he eats his next
Christmas dinner in Berlin
The evangelist spoke of the 40
years of preparation Germany made
for the conquest of the world and Of
how ill-prepared the Allies were to
resist. Germany" he said, was
ready on the hair trigger waiting for
the time to go. She was all ready
and armed to the teeth. Oh, don't
let anyone fool you, this war is a
war of self-defense. Either YOU
loyal or you are not, you are either
a patriot or a back-hearted traitor.
There is no sitting on the fence at
this time
We Arc Fighting German People.
All this talk about us not fighting
the German people is a lot Of bunk"
he said. They say that we are
lighting for an ideal. Well, if we are
we will have to knock down tho Ger
man people to get it over
Don't YOU worry. Germany may
be able to lick others but she will
not lick us. We have got tho finest
men in the United States in offices
and they are all working to put this
thing over. | am tired Of hearing
some fool knocking all the time"
Sunday told Of German atrocities in
his own way and be read some of
the Kaiser's utterances in which the
German ruler linked himself With
God. The Kaiser did not show up in
a good light after the evangelist had
accused him Of being the defender OF
the Mohamet, a dcsorter from Jcsus
Christ, and d repudiator of the Chris
tan religion
