AFTER HIS SCALP

"ITu get that dirty gang. I'll
skin 'em up yet, those black
hearted, dirty, low-lived degener-
ates here in Rock Island; I'll skin
'em!" shouted Billy Sunday last
night at the tabernacle, arousing
his immense audience to an in
tense excitement as they Justify
cheered. wildly applauded and
shouted him encouragement in his
attack on certain elements in the
city which he says are seeking to
undermine his standing in the com
munity, to tear down where he is
seeking to build up. It was one
of the dramatic incidents in the
campaign and for a moment one
was not sure what was going TO
happen rext.
The attack came at the conclu-
sion of an incident dramatically
told by Mr.. Sunday Of a man who
came to his home in Winona Lake,
Ind, and who, upon learning that
the evangelist was absent from the
city, asked that he might feel the
door, might touch something that
Mr.. Sunday had touched, and with
tears streaming down his face re-
lated the story of his life, that Of

ge1ist from utter destruction, from
