TELLS EXPERIENCES

Billy started off Tuesday in fine
shape following his rest of the day be-
fore. He was the first down to break
fast getting to the dining room about
s o'clock, before the majority of the
party were astir.
AS he came from the dining room
he started towards the elevator, his
eyes set squarely on his destination,
and never wavering for a minute to
any other object.
There was no car in sight, so with
but slight hesitation he turned for
the stairs, and sprang up them two
steps at time
Writes New Sermon
In his room he spent the morning
writing new sermon which is to
be presented in the near future for
the first time.
Monday was an unusual day for Sun
day, for he spent it in Richmond, in
stead of at home as he plans for the
rest of the six weeks. As usual he
was the first one down for breakfast,
beating Miss Kinney to it by about Is
| minutes. He was in fine fettle for
| Tuesdays work at the tabernacle.
I mo two audiences are alike, some
of them like humor, some sarcasm, and
some want it heavy" said Billy Sun
| day, talking about his experiences.
| You have to treat them all different
ly, and find what appeals to them the
! most"
mo I am not following politics,
but | am interested in affairs outside
! of the United States, and | believe
| that the conference at Genoa will pro-
! duce results" he said
Sunday makes Monday a day OF
rest For the rest of the time that
he is in Richmond he will spend it
| at Winona Lake with Ma Sunday and
the family.
/ CharIestown Experience
! Now down at Charlestown we had
a most enthusiastic group that came
| across in fine shape, and those miners
down there. and those mine operators.
they have come to realize that the only
thing that can bring capital and labor
together is Jesus Christ" he contin-
ued
| Billy talked as forcefully to an aud
fence of one as to the whole congrega-
ton at the tabernacle Once set on
a subject and he set his teeth and

point over the reporters shoulder and
clenching his fist in his earnestness.
THE miners find that they can gel
together on the basis of Christianity"
he stated. They find that the golden
rule will do more for them in their re-
lations with each other, than any other
thing that they know Of
For years we have had all kinds of
attempts to make a common ground
for every one to meet on, but they
have found at last that it is Christian
ity that is the basis of it ALL"
Noise Doesn't Deter
, Here Peterson began on the piano
, and his secretary, Bob Matthews, gave
| out song. The noise hardly made a
, pause. Billy simply raised his voice a
, trifle and kept right on
The conference in Genoa is going
to result in lot of good, any confer

of good.
