SUNDAY URGED TO ADMIT OWN SIN
IN BOOK DEAL
Church Paper Accuses Him of Using Writings
of Another


In an editorial which will appear in the Con-
tinent tomorrow Billy Sunday is called on
Sspublicy to acknowledge his sin and voice un-
reservedly his penitence." The Continent is
the leading Presbyterian publication in America.
The "sin" to which the editorial relates is
the evangelists permitting the publication as
his own work of what has been announced as
the first book by the great evangelist, entitled
Love Stories Of the Bible. .
The editorial recites that it has been estab-
lished through legal proceedings in the New
York courts that the book is the work Of Hugh
G. Weir professional book writer, who entered
into financial arrangement with Sunday. This,
it says, was revealed when Mrs. Anna T. Burt
obtained judgment of $3.50 against Weir for
introducing him to the evangelist.
No Longer Advertised
The editorial then recites that the publishers
of the book will no longer advertise it 'Snow
that they are informed Of it's origin.''
'What startling anomaly it is,' the edi-
torial says, 'Eto discover firm of commercial

ment clerks of the District; the rule
should apply to all the executive
departments.
Tonight Representative Borland
will address meeting of govern
ment employees at the Arcade, Four
