BILLY TELLS WHERE
CLOTHES COME FROM
IN AFTERNOON TALK

preaching on Negative and Positive
Religion"
When you are not doing things that
are wrong, you have done only half
of the job" he declared, you must
also be doing positive things to be a
real Christian"
That is the curse of the church
today, 1t is not doing the things it
should not, as much as it is not doing
the things that it should do"
DEPRESSING from his sermon, Billy
Sunday told his audience confident
tally where different articles of his
clothing came from. Il can't afford
silk socks" said Sunday, "but l have
! friend in Wilson's in Chicago that
every year sends me as many silk
socks as l need"
Has Four Suits
| Later he said, Il have four suits
all given TO me. The one that I wear
tonight l have had for six years. l
take care of them that is why"
| When l was IN Philadelphia,
preaching to the employees of the
Stetson company, one of the officials
told me that | was never to buy an
other hat, and so they are all sent
me from the Stetson company, made
/ to order
"And that big chain, the one l
wear about my neck some times, that
was made from twenty-dollar gold
pieces at Wanamaker's in Philadelphia
and given to me with this watch, Swiss
one, that r could not have afforded by
myself"
Mr.. Sunday had some trouble in
/ 90 h 81 +od ioto ELL
swing. The tabernacle was warn, and
| the audience restless, and keen at
watching every new person that came
| in.
81 wish you could get over that
! fool idea Of thinking that you have to
sees every person that comes into the
| tabernacle" said Mr. Sunday when
a speaker sees you watching others
and gazing around, he knows that
you are not following him, and he
doubles his effort"
Rodeheaver Leaves
At the beginning of the sermon, Mr..
Rodeheaver had slipped out to keep
another engagement. "Rody, is just
going to keep another engagement"
Sunday said, 81 see you are interested
in seeing where he is going"
Now, are we all set? And ready
to go?" he asked and the audience
responded with smile.
/ Opening his talk, Rev. Sunday said
fthat the afternoon sermons were
/ written particularly for the class of
! people that come in the afternoon. In
/ the evening I speak to a more varied
audience" he said, "but in the after
noon l talk particularly to people of
4 your kind, and if you will come then,
think that | can really do you more
good than l can by my preaching in
/ the evening"
/ they could hide behind a cork-screw.
They do; that is the reason they are
so crooked
Job Was Square
/ In All Dealings
Job was square in all his dealings.
He had been raised from a dead level
| to living perpendicular. l never
could understand why lot of men
won't believe the Bible, and they will
gulp down everything that horse
Jockey will tell them.
Job was upright, that was why the
devil was anxious to down him There
are a great many reasons why the
devil should have been against Job
and why he is against everybody that
! is doing likewise. Listen! Job had a
character that stood like the pyramids
of Egypt against the devils business.
| If the devil had not been against Job
/ I would have concluded that he was
not much of a gentleman.
Jobs character was like fort of
machine guns, knocking holes in the
devils business. If you want to find
out what hot fight the devil can
make and what a hot fight he can
wage you live close enough to God to
knock holes in the devils business
and you will find the air smelling
! with fire and birthstone, hot from
/ He'll.
| Yes. and whenever you see a
church member or a preacher who
does not believe in Hell-fire and
| birthstone. you can bet your life
they would believe in it if they got
clear out on Gods firing line and the
bullets were going like a machine
gun, they would believe it. That is
what Job did and that is why the
devil was against him.
Devil Tried to
Check job.
! AS soon as God declared that Job
was perfect and that Job suited
God, it was up to the devil to prove
that he was not. So it is the DEVILS
I business to lombard every man and
every woman that God speaks we'll Of
He has done that from Adams day
down until tonight and he will do
it until the Lord comes and puts him
in He'll and turns the yek.
! You let God speak well of a man
or woman and the devil will bon1-
bard him. He doesn't have anything
to say against his own gang.
Now a mans character is what is
left when you take away everything
that he can lose When you strip
and peel him of everything he can
lose then you begin to get a chimney
of the real man or woman. Charac-
ter never dies. Character comes
from God. Character is eternal as
! the white throne. Character stands
for squareness and against evil and
never dips its color.
Character nails the flag to the
mast with nails that cinch on the
other side; that is why the devil and
all his hosts make war on character.
| And the character of Job was against
the devil as darkness is against light:
as sin is against salvation; as vice is
