IF YOU WANT JESUS
ALL CITY MUST GO =
OUT TO MEET HIM

''If you want Jesus Christ to come
to Richmond the whole family house
hold must go out to greet, him." said
Billy Sunday to his Friday afternoon
audience at the tabernacle
Jesus did not enter the town when
Lazarus was dead until both Mary
and Martha had come TO him." said
Rev. Sunday "and then he raised their
brother to life"
Mary was an old bench-warmer,"
he declared, sitting down in his chair
and stiffly tanning his face with his
hand to the Joy of the audience.
Sunday took heavy swing at the
Richmond churches during the ser
mon. Il don't NEEDLE in your church
affairs when l come to town. and I
do not try to hunt out your troubles,
but ! can bet that not over half of
the church men of this town have ever
been to meeting.
"You can't expect to have Christ TO
come to you, when so of you go TO
meet him, and so of you stay at
home"
Must Do Part First
God says that you must do your
work first and then he will do his
part. He told the sisters to roll away
the stone from in front of the grave
where Lazarus was. because it was
something they could do, and then he
called Lazarus forth"
! Referring to the collections, Sunday
declared 81 always lose lot of sleep
unless the money question is out of
| the way"
I'm sick and tired of seeing Gods
cause have to stand aside to eat the
scraps from the table. when it is God
! that gives you all that you eat and,
/ wear
''Pm tired Of having men go up am
down the aisles with dough pans TO
I get Gods share. I am praying that
! some time l can go to place where
the money will be raised in the first
day. and where l can put all of my eff
fort on preaching the gospel
Flags Opponents
People that oppose the campaign,
! Sunday characterized as resembling
the Jews who opposed Christ after
the raising of Lazarus, because he was
doing things that showed that they
were lIdI5 WuSu Luey tdAcu AIu d

MARY was a sort of Uneeda biscuit,
veal loaf" declared Sunday, telling
of how she had stayed at home while
Martha had gone out to meet Christ
"And say" he interjected, IF you
ever invited me to your house to din
ner, don't have veal loaf, I'd rather
eat shavings"
| he - IoIo ~,
for particular mention when Sunday
spoke of the adoption of the prohibit
ton amendment Only Rhode Island
and Connecticut have not ratified.
Rhode Island, Oh" and Sunday
raised his hands above his head, a
look of despair covering his face.
Hits Rhode Island.
"Why Rhode Island did not accept
the constitution until Washington had
been president for year and a hale,
and they did not have state consti-
tuition until DORIS rebellion in 1912"
"As soon as you believe in God, He
will send you after some one else.
Sunday declared, that is the troubla
with lot of people, they only know
l God with information they had second
hand
2 at is your example that counts in
2 this thing, you cannot confine youl

Doing a little ballet dance on the
edge of the platform Sunday initiated
l in high falsetto voice the woman that

!, person, he is so illiterate."
