There are lots of folks who are
against me and evangelism" said Mr..
Sunday; 80 is the devil, and they
are just like their old dad" The
speaker is forcible in manner and
charming and graceful, and his vital
ity is nothing short of remarkable.
He said that he came to Chattanooga
to make it easier for people to do
good and hardest for them to do
wrong, and if God would help him,
and He always had, he would do
what he intended to do.
Hits Liquor and Society.
Mr.. Sunday, as he would express
1t, took a healthy swing at the liquor
traffic in all three of his sermons, and
in his sermon Of last night he mildly
spanked society for some of it's
usages, but added that later he would
return to these subjects and deliver
severer reprimands

quarrel with society, only against the
sinful usages of society.

seasoned foods"
In speaking of liquor and it's evil
influences, Mr.. sunday said: Hear
me, Last year we spent in this coun-

and drunkard's hell; if made into
loaves of bread it would pave Il street
1000 miles long, 100 feet wide, with
every loaf weighing two pounds. We
| wasted enough grain to make whisky
| to feed England, France and starv-
ing Belgium during the war And this
gOve<nme Mt of ours, my friends, re-
ceives about one third of it's reve-
nue. from a system that barters and
sells away the we'll being and the
happiness of the American people
in grog shops"
I'm speaking Of politics Mr.. Sunday
continued: II am not a partisan. ]
believe in the man instead of the
party. Although | am a republican,
antisaloon republican, | vote for the
democrat if he is a better man than
the republican. didn't vote for Will
son, but | will back him to the last
ditch. because he is a great man.
"The trouble is, my friends, that
the Lincoln, the Clay, the Webster,
the Sumner, the Calhoun and the
Douglas type of American statesmen
have been supplanted by the good
for-nothing. Cod fOrsaken, rathole,

"Billy' declared that there was no
difference between man and men. be-
tween masses and classes, between
labor and capital, where the spirit of
God was present. The subject of
Mr. Sundays morning sermon was
Baptism cf the Holy Ghost" the
subject Of the afternoon sermon

of the night sermon was "Why Call

Mr. Sunday in passing over the
events of the late war, paid marked
attention to those not 100 per cent.
L. S. a. Il have not bit Of use in
the world for a conscientious objec-
tor" said the speaker, and then he
took the entire platform to tell what
he would like to do with them, first
delivering an upcut to the jaw, fol-
