Much Better Than Hen
Coops.
NO QUARREL WITH THEATER
"Billy" Sunday hesitated In his
sermon yesterday afternoon, trying
to think of the name of some popular
song. The only one he could call to
mind was "Down Went McOinty to
the Bottom of the Sea," which was
popular about thirty years ago; be
fore "Billy" hit the trail. He called
on Rodeheaver ' to give him tho
names of two or three, but "Rody"
fell down, too. He wanted the names
merely for lllustratlonal purposes.
"You are going wrong when you
atop ainglng 'Jesus, Keep Me Near
the Cross and start singing 'Down
Went McGlnty to the Bottom of the
Sea,' " he asserted. "You are going
wrong when you stop singing
'Nearer My God to Thee' and begin
Blnging and there "BUly" stuck
and 'Rody,' when called on for help,
didn't . have a rope to throw him.
Hired to Entertain !.
Mr. Sunday preached from the reopen
ing of the temple by "Heieklah after
Ahai, his wicked father, had kept it closed
for sixteen years" and he urged the
churches of today to reopen their temple
to God and hava. leas of worldline In
them.
"Pome God-forsaken scoundrels preach
about tho war and discus literary men
and give out all aorta of clap-trap, secular
noniense under the guise of aermons anl
It takes the, man that comes after them
years to kick out all the rubbish with
which they have cluttered their pulpits.
"Preach the gospel, Ood and Jesus
Christ and the atoning blood; preach it
without fear or favor and if they don't
like it, let thera go to hell. Somo
preachers actually favor dancing Just be
cause they're afraid of offending soma
bunch In the church. -,. ,
"Thero-ara too many churches where
the preacher and choir are hired merely to
entertain the gang on Sunday.".
The- speaker threw out thl challenge
to those who oppose the revival;
"Any man who dares lift his voice
against this campaign is an Infamoui
scoundrel. If they think I'll let them
sneer and spew out their venom against
Ood, they're badly fooled. I'm going to
crap for Ood."
( hirrhra I.Ike Chicken Coop.
"You ought to put up the finest build
ings for the worship of Ood," he declared.
"Too many churches aren't much better
than chicken coops and tne members liv
ing In fine homes."
Speaking of the theater Mr. Sunday as
serted: "My quarrel with the theater la not
with It as an Institution, but on account
of many of the things they allow on the
stage. Since I accepted Christ, more than
twenty-seven years ago, I have never
darkened the door of a theater except to
preach the gospel from the stage. And I
never will. The last play I saw was Den
man Thompson In The Old Homestead.'
When I was in Chicago Ttm Keene tried
his beat to get me to go with blm as his
understudy. Tou'd make a great actor.
Bill he said, but I told him, 'nothing
doing, Tom. I'm going to work for Ood.'
And today I'm ready to die any time, but
as long as uoa wants mm to stay, on the
Job ru be here."
It was warm In the tabernacle and
"Rody." between his vocal solo and his
trombone solo, told the men they could
take off their coata If It would add to
their comfort, "And we even allow the
women to remove their hats, so their
Beads will be nice and cool." he added.
"Ma" Sunday made a short opening
prayer. "Billy" made no prayer at the
conclusion of his sermon.
