FEAR BILLY SUNDAY
MAY LOSE HIS VOICE
Evangelist's Vocal Organs in
Critical Condition Owing
to Cold
MISSES TWO SERMONS
Night of Suffering Follows Strenu-
Gus Talk to $4,000 Washington
Bible Class Men

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Billy Sun
day is facing a crisis, so far as his phys
ical condition is concerned. The menu
bers of his party are much concerned
about the outcome of a serious throat
affection, resulting from bad cold con-
tracted at Camp Meigs Fear is ex-
pressed that unless he shall rest up"
there is a possibility his voice may go
back on him entirely and that he may
have to quit preaching.
Twice this week the evangelist has
missed afternoon sermons because Of his
throat affection. He plans to stay away
from tho tabernacle Friday and Satur-
day afternoons so as to save his strength
for the big evening meetings in the
Washington tabernacle. Totoday he Is in
bed after a night of much suffering that
followed a strenuous talk to $1,000 Bible
class men in the tabernacle last night.
Whether he will be able TO go to the
meeting Friday night is yet a question
The evangelist said today that he
had never suffered so much i'm his cV-
tire preaching career as he did during
his sermons Wednesday and Thursday
night. Frequently during his sermons
he had to clutch at his throat so great
was the pain. lie insists, however, on
preaching the evening sermons and will
not listen to warnings from the doctors
attending him and from the members of
his party, who have urged him to stay
at home. His voice is very husky and
those in the rear of the tabernacle can
hear hardly more than whisper when
he is speaking.
1t Is emphasized that Billy Sunday
is now more than fifty-fve years old.
II is noticeable that his old-time strength
is leaving him and those who know say
his condition physically has never been
so bad. His face looks distorted when
he speaks and frequently he has to stop
in the middle of n sentence to get back
his breath. Especially is this apparent
when Billy rails to the Kaiser and Ger
many in strenuous denunciations He
literally throws his entire strength into
his damnation of that dirty bunch of
cutthroats across the seas" and that
imp Of the devil, the Kaiser"
Only once before Billy came to Wash
ington did he miss a meeting because Of
illness in the twenty-five years Of
preaching. That was in Atlanta, where
he contracted a bad cold when he spoke
at an outdoor meeting. His voice has
never shown its old-time form since that
time and he is susceptible to the least
cold,
