KAISER WINS
BRIEF RESPITE
.ATTABERNACLE
Evangelist Quits Usual Out.
burst Against Head Of
Vandal Army.

Billy Sundays sermon at the Taber.
nacis last night was unusual In that
he did not take fall out Of Ger
many or the Kaiser. II was the first
time since the evangelist began his
campaign here that he didn't pay his
respects TO the God-forsaken
bunch across the seas" Billy didn't
even make his usual announcements.
There was no apparent reason for
the commissions. except that the evan
gelist wanted to kick off, on sched-
ule time. since he had an audience
that filled every inch of space inside
the big building and he was anxious
to go to IT, as quickly as he could.
The subject of his sermon was ''The
Atonement." 1t was a powerful talk
and was intended to knock the props
from under the doctrines of those who
disbelieve the story Of the bloody re-
demption." At the close of the SER
mon close on to 600 persons walked
the "sawdust aisles'' and declared
publicly their belief in the existence
Of personal Saviour
Defines Aliens.
Billy defined the attitude OF an
alien and the possibility Of convictinc
an alien OF treason. He quoted a de.
cision OF the United States Supreme
Court TO show that an alien could be
guilty Of treason TO America and then
he contrasted the alien with the sin.
ner, whom he convicted OF treason Ia
God and whom he termed a traitor.
III there's a man in this country
shouted Billy, who will not come
out into the open and publicly &C.
cept Christ, he is a traitor and his
punishment will be death-the pun
ishment of a traitor to his country 81
Billy declared that il the Atone
ment were taken out of the Biblical
story of Christianity. there would
be nothing left but a jargon OF
words that won't be worth three
whoops"
You take the blood out of your
veins" said Billy. ''and you're all
in. You're ready for the under
taker. The charge is often made
that the Bible is a bloody book II
is. Eliminate the blood in the book
and your salvation plan is knocked
into a cooked hat"
In Billy's opinion. the doctrine
of universal salvation CrawIed out
OF the pit Of perdition" He pic
tured the awfUlness of sin and told
several stories OF visits he made 70
police stations and morgues in Chi
cago and of the sights he saw
there-the result OF sin. He deClar-
ed any person can argue against
God and the Bible and Christianity.

she feels. Be patient and make the
best of staying at home, but at the
same time do not settle down into lazy

things you can do at home while you
