still, he says. there is something

AFTERNOON SESSION

The largest afternoon session of
the series of revival meetings con-
Quoted by Mr.. Sunday was present
yesterday when the evangelist ad-
dressed himself especially to moth
ers. The audience was composed
almost exclusively of women and
they gave close attention and in
terest to every word of the evan
gelist His sermon on Mothers"
was a splendid one, and while it
praised tie mothers of the land, it
also rebuked mothers who are in
different in the training of their
children. He told beautifully the
story of Moses. placed in the bull
rushes by his mother. who had
woven a little ark with care and
attention to detail that no harm
could befall the child. He then ap-
piled the story of Moses to the ev-
ery-day life of the child. impress
ing a lesson that was most per
tinent-
There are not enough devils in
hell he said, ito drag a boy or
girl from the arms Of a good moth

He described the virtues of the
mother. her bravery. her courage,
her self-sacrifice. her love, her ex-
ample, her power for good. and
added, You wait until the noun
tains OF eternity are reached and
you will read the mothers names
that sit in Gods hall of fame
There will be many a scrub-woman
on earth whose name will be in
Gods hall of fame"
But for the ill-tempered, fault

the unreligious mother. he could
not say enough in rebuke of her.
Rev. Charles F. Mann of the Clio
ria Del United Presbyterian church
offered the prayer and Rodey play
ed a trombone number.
Mr.. Sunday expressed his sym
pathy with the president in his
illness and said he knew better
than any other one man how it
feels to have to talk in all kinds
Of buildings, wearing away his
very life.

HIGH STUDENTS
IN DELEGATION
PLEASE SUNDAY

Billy Sunday was at his best last
night, and he was unusually hap
by over the results Of his preach
ing when practically all OF the
special high school delegation came
forward and shook hands with
him, signifying their intention to
let Christ into their hearts Fol-
lowing the students tho members
of the Moline Tool company fled
up the aisle to shake his hand
There were probably 200 in last
evenings group who came for
ward. the largest number from
any special delegates so far The
high school people were especially
welcomed by the evangelist. who
seemed almost oyerpOwered by tho
number Of them. He and RodeyI
had visited the school in the morn i
ing, along with Mrs Sunday and
other members of the party, and
the response last night possibly
was one Of the greatest pleasures
of Mr. Sundays campaign. lid

KIDDIES FIND
RODEY FULL OF
MAGIC TRICKS

Children, hundreds and hundreds
Of them, swarmed the tabernacle
this afternoon to hear and see Ho-
mer Rodeheaver in his magical
stunts 1t takes a crowd of young
sters to demonstrate what enthus-
iasm and pep are and there was
not a dull moment from long be-
fore 2 o'clock until the time for
closing. Rodey had a large num-
Der of stunts and interesting
sleight-of-hand performances up
his sleeve, and from each of the
illustrations he drew a lesson that
every child must carry throughout
his life, so firmly was it impressed
on his mind by the speaker.
Habits were illustrated by flags,
handkerchiefs were turned magic
ally into flags. and Rodey explain e
ed to the Riddles the importance of
the reverence and love of flag and
the country it represents. There
was a doll representing obedience;
it magicaIly disappears and re-
turns from nowhere. There are
broken links representing habits
and principles which are dropped
into cans and rescued again COM
plete and solid. Handouts are
locked on Rodey's wrists, repre-
senting the power of habit, and
they are magically removed.
Rodey played his trombone for
the children and Albert Peterson,
tabernacle custodian, and his sis
ter. Miss Edna Peterson, sang.
much to the delight of the audi
ence.
Mr.. Sunday did not participate in
the program of this afternoon, but
he will speak this evening at 1880.

Tips from the
Tabernacle ,

The high school delegation had
some trouble in selecting its fav-
orite song last evening. Nos. %, 81
and 15S having the most advocates.
No. %, Brighten the Corner" had
already been sung, so I'm the Gar
den" and The Church in the Wild
wood" were sung.
The delegation from the Moline
Tool works present at last even
ing's meeting had its song already
chosen, THE Battle Hymn of the
Republic" and the chorus was
changed slightly to read, "as Christ
died to make men holy, let US live
to make men free"
Sunday morning a grand big eff
fort is to be made to put the col
lection business over the top" as
Sunday puts it All the cooperat-
ing churches are to be closed, and
a large attendance and collection
is anticipated.
The Sunday party quartet sang
for the first time last night, Rody.
Bob. AL and Charles Daugherty are
the members. 1t is hoped they
sing again soon, and often.
Folding camp chairs served very
we'll on the platform last night.
while the opera chairs which have
been used were being used at the
Augustana college gym from where
they were borrowed. They are not
quite as comfortable as the others,
and they do make a noise but they
answered the purpose.
Billy Sunday likes old fashioned
sauer kraut and spare ribs. He said
so last night He would just as
soon eat baIed sawdust as eat veal
loaf. It's too dry.
Bill raised $4,000 900 for Uncle
Sam. and he only had his expenses
paid. He wasn't even a dollar Il
year man.
Billy Sunday used to hold Ger
aldine Farrar on his knee before
she grew up and became a great
opera singer and movie star He
said so yesterday afternoon. Her
dad used to play ball with me on
the same team and she used to
come out TO the grounds and We
fellows bought her peanuts and
popcorn and candy. little realizing
that some day she was going to be
a great star AID singer"

Now when Christ used this figure
of knocking, he used a custom that
everybody would understand. You

have looked this audience over,
and have made up my mind where
a lot of folks stand here in this
community. Some have heard and
have done many things. Some have
opened the door and let him in, and
some stand with their hand on the
latch, hesitating whether they will
or whether they will not. They
are counting the cost, but don't
forget, heaven or hell are at the
end Of your destination.
Some others have heard the sum
mons and they are troubled. Then
they ought TO yield. There are
others that are trying to drown the
pleadings of Gods spirit in dissi-
patton. The devil will resort and
lead people to do things that under
ordinary conditions they wouldn't
think of doing. What for? Oh, he

MEN AGAIN HAVE
CHANCE TO HEAR
BILLY TOMORROW

Billy Sunday has arranged an
other meeting for men only tomor-
row afternoon at 2:3O at the taber-
nacle when he will speak on when
the Chickens Come Home to Roost, "
which is said to be one Of the best
of his sermons and he promises to
have plenty to say that will in
terest.
Homer Rhodeheaver and Bob
Mathews will assist with the music
as will the mems chorus, and they
can sure make good music.
The tabernacle last Sunday was
filled with men from the quad-cities
and surrounding territory and a
large number Of them went for
ward TO reconsecrate themselves.

he says, will be some evening when

preachers to sleep in the bed of the
spare room. We had a spare room
in the house in which l was born
in Iowa 1t was a sort of holy Of
HOLES. We never opened it except
to air it and keep the bed clothes
from mildewing. We always turn
ed the strangers in our house into
that room to sleep. They always
had my sympathy.
II was the only room in the
house that had wall paper on the
walls. The figures in it were polly
wogs, lizards, and crocodiles. 1t
was the only room in the house that
had carpet 1t had a little patch
of green carpet in front of the bed
ana the figures in the carpet
matched the figures on the wall
paper. There was an upholstered
lounge in it. 1t had done service
for generations. 1t was very slick.
My grandfather made the bed.
Each post had a great round globe
on it. and it looked like Atlas up
holding the world. 1t was made in
a turning lathe out of black wal
nut. The bed had no Stats, no
rails. no springs.
We had holes in the rails and We
used to put ropes through there
and wind her IN with the windlass
ana tighten it, We had no mattress,
but we had a feather bed and when
you got up in the morning, your
back would look like a waffle.
This bed had some stuff hanging
down on the bottom. It always
had a spooky appearance to me. l
imagined something was under
there ready to pounce out and grab
me. I would not have slept there
all night If you had given me
million dollars that was the spare
room.
Jesus Locked Up.
Some of you have let Jesus in,
but you have got him locked up In
the spare room. Say, go home
with us tonight"
Open the door and say, Jesus,
come on, have the parlor. Sit with
US, dine with US. Go down town
in the car with my husband IN the
morning. Go with me into so
