18th chapter, End verse.
Opening his campaign Sunday after


Opening his campaign Sunday after
noon Rev. William "A. Sunday said:
The personality and the divinity
and the attribute of the Holy Spirit
afford one of the most interesting,
inspiration, instructive, and at the
same time mysterious studies in all
the Scriptures.
When the Holy Spirit came at Pen
tecost, he came as rushing, mighty
wind, and he lowered over each of
the expectant Penticostal worship
ers. When Jesus was baptised Of
John in the River Jordan; out from
the blue expanse of Heaven came
what looked like a snowflake. AS
it came nearer the earth, 1t assumed
the form of a dove and we are told
that the whirring of wings was
heard and that the Holy Spirit in the
form of a dove lowered over the
dripping locks of the Son of God
as he stood on the banks of the Jor-
dan.
There have been but two such Wis
ible manifestations of the Spirit and
the probabilities are that this side of
the grave neither your eyes nor mine
shall ever behold such scenes; nei-
to hear such sound again
You Cannot Dssect
The Holy Spirit.
You cannot dissect, you cannot
weigh, you cannot analyze the Holy
Spirit as a chemist would some sub
stance in his labratory. but we can
all feel his power and we can all
enjoy the orchard fruits of his plant
ing, for | read that the fruits of the
spirit are love, joy. long suffering,
gentleness. brotherly love; against
such there is no law. The Holy Spirit
is a personalities much of a per-
sonality as Cod Christ, you, |, any
thing or anybody.
Speaking of the Holy Spirit as q
personality. not an influence, there
fore we are born of the Spirit, he is
our advocate. Jesus always thinks
of the Spirit in the future tense. He
said. ut is good thing for you that
/ go away. If | go not away the
Comforter will not come, the flu
ture tense-"but when / am gone,
will send him unto you from the Fa-
Their" and / read, "Grieve not the
Holy Spirit of God" as if men and
women can and do grieve the spirit
of God by the wrong atmosphere in
their lives, by the wrong atmosphere
in their homes, by the crowd they
keep company with. Why, an angel
from Heaven couldn't come down
and stay here two weeks and train
with the crowd that some of you go
with and call good and then get
back to Heaven without having a
bath In lysol and carbolic acid and
formaldehyde.
Therefore, we grieve the Spirit by
the wrong use of our lips; we grieve
the Spirit by the things we stoop to
do Oh, there are multitudes of
men and women who will do things
in private that they wouldn't do in
public it would mean their dis
grace! There is many a man who

of the campaign, but would not find

shouted Mr.. Sunday to the applau-o
of the audience, "and he ought 10 !

One is as dirty a dog as the o+he

you are the people who invited me
here" said Billy in his Sunday after
noon pre-sermon address. Its up to
you to get into this campaign up to
your eyebrows.
when Mr.. Rapp came to Richmond
a couple of weeks ago and asked that
l might be permitted to stay longer
with the miners in Virginia, you said
no. He came prepared to pay back
to you all you spent, even if it amount
ed to $4,000, in order that | might
stay longer with the mining people,
but you would not be bought. And so

air like flocks of sheep feeding on |
the hillsides Of the skies. He chang
ed the heaven into marching, choral |
society when the evening stars sang
together in the twilight of the centur-
les. He sendeth forth thy spirit and
they are renewed" and Thou re- |
neweth the face of the earth" l read,
and ''The earth was without form and
void and darkness was upon the face
of the deep" Perhaps that is what
Jesus meant when he said, IF We had
faith SO much as a grain of mustard
seed. We shall say unto the mountain,
Remove hence to yonder place; and
it shall remove; and nothing shall be
! impossible unto you" Therefore,
when God wills, the Holy Spirit does
an act, accomplishes material phe-
nomena.
No One Can Stop
Operation Of Spirit.
Who is the spirit of God? There
is no force on earth or in hell that
can stand the onward march of the
church of Jesus Christ and his truth
The greatest danger, as l see it,
today is egotistical self-content. Al
lot of people don't give a whoop
whether anybody goes to hell, or
where they go, so long as they them
selves are saved. Egotistical self
contentment is one of the curses of
the world and of the church
Oh, death turks in the poisoned cup

venom. The flowers fade and the
sun becomes as blood, and it is in
this guise that the devil does his
most effective work. If we could see
the devil as he is, he would be in
the hospital before the day is over.
That's the trouble today, he's got
you astray and puts a ring in your
nose. and he's got you now.
There are three classes in the
/ church, as l have sized it up impair
TALLY after II years. Listen! First
there are people in the church who
personally want to be saved They
don't give rap whether anybody else
is saved or not, they are absolutely in
different to it, That's one class. Then
there is a second class-they have a
/ little concern; they think the work

discretion. They have a great power
in the church There is no such thing
as power, express or implied mean
latent power. Power is as dis
tinct from the individual as that cur
rent is from that light What are
these lights without the current?
Nothing but glass bulbs waiting for
the scrap heap, What is man, the in
dividuals, without the spirit of God?
Nothing but sounding brass and tink-
! ling cymbals. That's all 1t is in the
universe. Without the Spirit of God,
she degenerates into a third rate
amusement bureau with religion left
out.
Use of Third Class
BY Gods Spirit.
Then the third class - they have
! learned this lesson, ''it is not by
might nor by power but by my
spirit" saith the Lord God of hosts.
From the third class came the
prophets; from the third class came
Gideon, who put the flight the INDIAN
! ties; from the third class came Mo-
/ ses, who beat back the waters of the
J Red Sea; from the third class came
Daniel who shut the lions mouth by
the power of Cod from the third
class came every man and every wo-

Mr.. Matthews told the audience
that Billy Sunday had been telling
Southerners for so long that he was
a Republican, that he was glad of
chance to be able to say it up North
where it would be applauded.

Neighborhood prayer meetings for
every Tuesday and Friday during the
series of Billy Sunday meetings, in
various sections of the city, is the aim
of the neighborhood prayer meeting
group which met Wednesday with
Miss Florence Kinney in the taber-
noon sermon of Mr.. Sunday.
1.-THE task of the leaders is not al
ways easy" declared Miss Kinney,
"but it is one of the most important
parts of the whole campaign.
Souls can be saved and individ.
uals converted in those neighborhood
meetings, just as well as at the big
tabernacle meetings"
Ten Sections Arranged
The whole city is divided into ten
sections, each of which is under a
superintendent, who is responsible to
Miss Kinney or to Rev. A. H. Backus
who is chairman of the prayer meet
ing committee and is the clearing
house for all information relating to
the meetings.
Women who had been attending the
prayer meetings which have been held
for the last two weeks among the
different sections of the city, told OF
the success of the meetings, attend

How the audience was, where he
could find a tennis court to keep in
shape on, and when he could find his
new car that was supposed to be de-
1ivered to him in Richmond, were
questions that were on Homer Rode
heavens mind the first thing after he
got to Richmond.
ooh, you don't want to write about
me; you want to write about the work
of Miss Kinney and Mrs. Asher" was
his first comment.
II just lead the choir and follow
Billy Sunday around" he said.
But big, hearty Rody has more of
a job than that. Rody is the fellow
who gets the crowd in a good humor
by stirring up the singing and playing
rousing hymns on his celebrated from
bone.
He is Popular
"I don't know whether it is Rody
who made the song famous or the
song that made Rody famous" said
one visitor at the tabernacle, "but
Brighten the Corner Where You Are
and Rody can't be separated"
Then. when shop meeting is to
be held, Rody is there to lead the
singing and to make talk, and when
Billy goes anywhere, Rody is there to
get the singing started right again.
Just let any of the other workers
want for anything special and they
come to Rody and ask him to help
