Summaries NEGLECT
TO TRAIN PREACHERS
FOR PERSONAL WORK

You have no right to use your per-
sonal liberty when your actions hurt
some one else, even if it never hurts
you" declared Billy Sunday at the
tabernacle Wednesday afternoon to
an audience of 700
Preaching his second sermon on
Personal work" Sunday said, THE
poorest man to do personal work is
the young theolog just out Of semina-
ry, where he has been taught to build
up a proper sermon, but has not been
taught to reach the individuals.
There ought to be a course in prac-
itcal religion given in every theologi-
cal seminary in the United States"
Personal Work Needed.
1.-THE church." he argued" should
be spending so weeks a year on sin
ners, and two on the mossbacks IN the
church, instead of the other way
around, as so many churches do now"
Working for God is a privilege"
Sunday said. "just as it is privilege
for me to buy my wife a new hat-if
called it duty she would refuse
it."

to slep under And the feathers
worked out from under you and the
next morning you woke up feeling like
waffle with the marks all over you
Limps Around
Sunday limped about few steps to
illustrate the feeling of walking after
sleeping in a bed like that, and the
audience roared.
Then swinging back into the serious
vein. he declared, with scorn ringing
in his voice. Some people keep Jesus
IN the spare room just to use in time
of emergency"
Telling of town in Iowa where he
once held a revival, Sunday told OF
the quarrel between two of the Wo-
men of the place that had divided the
town even politically. Every revival
had split on that rock of antagonism
Finally Sunday went to one of the
women and suggested that she try and
make 1t up with the other woman
Brings About Peace
But III be Inundated and she will
slam the door in my face" she
answered.
We'll, take two persons with you as
witnesses, and then if she does not
relent, why you should worry; let her
go to hell, YOU have done your part.
A reconciliation was effected, and
Sunday got them to come to the re-
Vlval meeting arm in arm.
Sitting down in his chair on the plat
form, Sunday showed how he had wait
ed for the two to come into the build
ing. He sat and figited, gIancing out
0f the of III -
of the meeting house, and making the
audience to litter and laugh at his
evident uneasiness
Then in came the major the head
usher" Sunday announced. and illus
trated the extra military bearing of the
major as he led the way for the two
women who walked arm in arm to
the front of the church to their special
seats.
Tears in Eyes
Again he swung from the humorous
to the serious with rapidity. And
when | preached to them on forgive
ness l looked down at them both and
there were tears in their eyes"
Forgive and forget" shouted Sun
day at the top of his voice. ringing the
phrase to the very outermost corners
Of the tabernacle. The way of Christ
is to forgive and forget
Breaking quickly into the Say,
Lord, with which he begins each pray
er, Sunday prayed that the Masons and
other delegations might show their be-
lief in Jesus Christ by coming forward
and making public confession or by
making rededication of their belief.
Prays For Masons
The small number of Masons that
responded disappointed Sunday, and in
his prayer over the trail hitters" he
prayed, saying, ooh, Lord, we were dis
appointed, for we thought that there
might be 200 Masons come down here
tonight to reconsecrate themselves.
AS he came up from the pit where
he had been shaking hands with the
trail h1tters, the chorus was practicing
one of its songs With all the energy
and abandon of the cheer leader. Mr.
Sunday lead the chorus in the song.

body, and holding the pauses while bal

church.

Wark's Letter.
The text of the letter from Directo
Wark to Mayor COrwine follows;
Dear Sir;-For some time past this
office has been receiving complaints as
to violations Of the prOhibitOry liquor
law within the city Of Topeka. have
just completed careful Investigation
and have had the government agents
connected with this office at work in
Topeka.
/ wish to saw that we found condi-
tiOns deplorable and a most open and
fragrant violation of the prohibitory
liquor law and as long as bOotleggeFs
are gwen Ihe, pAroleu anu tHInea
loose upon the public. a municipality
IS simply encouraging law violation
As the mayor Of the city you are the
officer charged with the enforcement OF
the law and deem it my duty to ad-
wise you Of the conditions that exist
here as stated above. 1t is not the
governments attitude to supersede To-
cal authorities. but l must frankly say
here that conditions must be improved.
Since the agents working out of this
office have the entire state to cover. 1t
is necessary that they work on other
assignments and some of them must
respond to subpOenas as witnesses in
which the government is a party, but
at the earliest possible date expect
to make another investigation here.
The taxpayers and the good people of
Topeka are entitled to protection from
the criminal element, and that they be
punished, and the government will not
sit idly by and cOuntenance the con-
unuance of the flagrant violations of
the prOhibitOry law that have existed
in the past l would suggest that you
scrutinize most carefully your depart
ments. that you go over the matter of
violations Of the liquor law relative to
arrests. bonds, trials, convictions, pun
ishments and the matter OF reports of
violations
I do not know whether law violators
and the underworld have any connec-
tton with any of the departments Of
the city thru an alleged professional
hondsman, but the statement is openly
made and seems to be OF common
knowledge 1t is bringing much dis
credit to your administration and I
would suggest careful Investigation
Of the same.
I am writing this letter simply to
inform you Of the conditions as have
found them in reports to this office.
and ask that you take immediate action
on the matter.
Most truly,
