NOTED EVANGELIST, BILLY SUN.
DAY, VISITS PARIS

neV. william Sunday, Familiarity
known to thousands as Billy" Sun
day, visited Paris yesterday. accord
ing 10 previous arrangements. and
departed on the $3.50 Louisville 6,
Nashville train, after reception
and speech delivered to a crowd in
the bourbon Tobacco Warehouse. es-
tlmated variously at from 5000 to
lo'OOO. Every available foot of
space on the big floors was taken UP
py an eager, jostling, but good
natured throng, anxious to hear the
man who has become famous as an
evangelist.
MI. sunday came to Lexington yes
terday morning, where he was enter
tanned by 2 visit to Man O'War, the
famous superhorse. There he was
met by reception committee COM
posed of Paris ministers and brought
IN an automobile to Paris Rev. Mr..
Sunday and his party were enter
tanned at dinner at the Windsor
Hotel. Probably the largest crowd
seen in Paris for many years greeted
the speaker when he arose to deliver
MS address. From early dawn to
about noon when the big doors were
/ thrown open to the public, there was
constant stream of people and We
hlcles en- route to the big ware
house
AT the place of speaking a large
platform had been erected in the
center of the south side of the
house, and seats were ar
ranged in a semi-circle about
this platform. Preceding the deliv-
cry of Mr.. Sundays address a pro-
gram of musical selections were rem
dered by Mr.. ROadheaver, Mr.. Sun
days singer. Mr.. Sunday was intro
duced to the big audience by Rev.
Theo. S. Smylie, pastor of the Paris
Presbyterian church, in a short ad-
dress. Mr.. Sunday Immediately
launched into his address, which
was, of course, characteristic Sun
day speech. In the opening state
ments he spoke of the Bluegrass re-
gion, it's pretty women and it's fine
farms, and said he had always had a
soft spot in his heart for Kentucky
and it's people. All through the ad-
dress of three-quarters of an hour,
Mr.. Sunday used the gestures and
quaint remarks that have made him
lines of those delivered in his Gin
cinnati engagement, and elected
loud applause from his hearers.
During the hours of the speaking
and exercises nearly all the business
houses of the city were closed, so
the employers and their helpers
oculd hear the noted evangelist.
Large delegations from all the sur
rounding towns were here, coming
from every direction. Hundreds Of
people waited in vain for a chance
to get in, but the house was packed
to its capacity, and none would be
admitted.
At the close of the address and
taking of an offering for the cause.
Mr.. Sunday and his party were taken
in automobiles to the 1920 Louisville
& Nashville train, going to Cincin-
natl, where they continued the SER
vices in the big Tabernacle.
The visit of Mr.. Sunday to Paris
elected varying opinions, many say
ing, in their opinion, he was better
as an entertainer than as an evan
gelist. MANY confessed to distinct
sense of disappointment, as the
speaker was apparently not at his
best, suffering from a slight hoarse-
ness. At any rates 1T will be matter
for congratulation that the people of
the city and county had an oppor-
, tunity to see and hear him.
