Slity-two nit the Tabernacle trail
Friday evening-, moat of them being
girls and women. Several were chil
dren.. One man was evidently so
overcome with liquid enthusiasm
that he wanted to repeat the hand
shaking with "Billy" Sunday and to
speak to the evangelist during the
impressive period of calling sinners
to repentance. He was restrained by
ushers and then burled his head In
his hands, as If In abject grief.
Among the trail-hitters were Mr.
and Mri. F. D. Wead, the former be
ing a member of the Water board,
real estate' dealer and churchmu.
He authorized the use of his name
in this connection, saying he and his
wife reconsecrated themselves. Mr
Wead said he "hit the trail" the first
time when he was 17 years of age
and he was not ashamed of it.
Thoee who came forward were rather I
low at first. Mr. Sunday worked hard
In hla exhortations and appeared to be
slightly disappointed, but when some be
gan to respond his face was wreathed
In smiles and he repeated his Invitations
and entreaties.
a v.r. .imm ..m'n.niM h. !
a heavy rain, was one of the variants of !
the evening. Mr. Sunday deferred his
sermon a short while until the patter of
ths rain on the roof of the Tabernacle
had ceased and tn the Interim Homer
Ilodeheater led the choir and audience
In selections appropriate to the occasion.
"Ball On, the Storm Will Soon Be Passed"
and "Master, the Tempest Is Raging"
were sung. Mr. Rodeheaver also played
a trombone solo.
Several leaks In the roof disturbed
some of the attendants. A woman who i
raised an umbrella toward the front was
chtded for her Indiscretion and the evan
gelist told the crowd a little rain would
not hurt them. He also eased those who
seemed fearful of the lightning.
Plnnntnqr Big Collection.
"Billy" Sunday la eating biscuits at the
Loyal hotel to economise. He said so
during an after-meeting he had with the
ushers, secretaries of ths trail and gen
eral committee. The ' chief purpose of
this session Was to Infuse some Interest
In the big collection to be taken on Sun
day morning, when It Is expected the bal
ance of the local debt of (27.000 will be
raised. . Mr. flunday said the workers are
doing well, silt' he believed they might
do a little more toward this debt-raising
effort ;'. -- -' -
"I am' putting' everr ounce of effort I
have every ounce," he declared.
The storm which waa threatening dur
ing the early part of the evening cut
down the attendance. The tabernacle
waa well filled, with a few standing up
around the outside rail. Very few left
before the trall-hlttlng episode.
Delegations from the Stock Yards Na
tional bank. Union station and United
States National bank had reservations.
Reservations will be made later for the
street railway employes and the stockmen
of South Side.
During his foreword Mr. Sunday de
clared that of all the towns he has vis
ited Omaha and Des Moines stand first
as places which have great prospects
and he predicted tha populations of these
cities will be doubled within ten years.
"Try and cough with your mouths
shut, it makes quits a difference," he
remarked during a coughing epidemic.
Announcement was made of ths spe
cial meeting this afternoon for boys
and girls.
Mr. Rodeheaver delivered a little homily
on the power of a smile. He said ths
men should smile because they are per
mitted to doff their coats and because
tje women take off their hats.
"Women are not contrary. Women
who do not take off their hats do not
know of the rule; they are not contrary,"
said "llody."

During his prayer, following the ser
mon and Just before the trail was
opened, Mr. dunday said: "It Is a hard
thing for Ood to ask me to go about
reaching, to be vllllfled, abused and my
life threatened, but on the last day,
Jesus will say. ' "BUI," this wss the
reason, and I'll say, 'I'm satisfied.' "
The sermon was on the sacrifices of
Ood and during the discourse Mr. Sunday
referred to the sacrifices of ths hands,
feet, lips, mouth, eyes and other fac
ulties. There waa a notable absence of
the Sunday slang during the sermon.
Only a few times did he Indulge tn his
rhsracterlatic language of ths street. He
was intensely In earnest and his appeal
to sinners to follow the trail was Impas
sioned. He seemed a trifle perturbed when the
hand-shakers did not respond quickly at
first. Tha ushers and secretaries worked
choir members to hit the tralL Then an !
appeal was mad. to those who felt they .

of Use of School
by Sunday Party
R. F. Williams of tbe Board of Educa
tion has directed Superintendent Oraff to
investigate ths use ef the South S'.de
High school by members ef the "Billy"
Sunday party on Friday.
The superintendent reports he is vary
busy with other matters, but will get
around to It soon.
Mr. Williams made this statement:
"The use of the school Is against the
law and the policy of the board. We
were asked by the Sunday campaign
people for the use of tbe schools and we
declined to permit such use. This use
of the South Side High school will be
thoroughly . Investigated and somebody
will have to explain to the school board

"Ho I show you the character of
Josus. Do you find any fault In Him?
He said He was the Son of Ood. Did
He speak as If He were Indeed the Hon
of Cod. Did He ever utter one thing
that didn't sound as if He were? Not a
word that lie ever uttered was false.
He called men to repentance. He told
them that God believed them and was
ready to forgive. Can you find any
fault with that? If you can I don't
want to know you. Xo matter who you
are. man or woman, I don't want to

Never Bawls Anybody Oat.
"Some year ago a man cams to my
room in a town out west snd rapped on
my door In the middle ot the night. His
eyes were bloodshot, his hair dishev
eled, his face drawn. I asked him If
he were sick. He said: 'No; if I. told
yoi what Is the matter with ' me you
would despiee me.' I said to him, 'If
you are In trouble, and if you want to
do whet ' is right ' and are sorry for
some wrong that you have' done. I
won't despise you. I'll help you If I
can, and I'll stand by you If lt takes
my last dollar.' Yes, Irf I knew any
thing against any man that would
break the heart of his wife and maks
his family ashamed, that would bring
the blush to their cheeks so help me
Ood. I'd die before rd tell it. I've
never bawled anybody out In my life,
and I never will. No sir. I'll preach
the gospel Just as straight and Just as
strongly as I know how, but I'll never
bawl anybody owt.
"Ood has no pleasure in the death of
the wicked. He Isn't glad when a man
dies In his sins. But He has great pleas
ure in the death of the righteous. He
Isn't willing that any man should perish.
Ho didn't send His Son Into the world
to condemn It It waa condemned already
and He wanted to save It. Jesus ciune
to open to men the door of salvation, and
If we don't enter the fault is ours. If
Ood had simply said He loved the world,
and then had done nothing for It, that
would have signified nothing. If He
hadn't given us the plan of salvation
and we should bo lost, that would be
His fault. But Ood gives us the plsn ot
salvation,1 and If wa are lost It's our own
fault.
Why Men Go to Hell.
"Men do not go tn hell because they
are sinners, but because they will not
repent. You may be moral, but If you
don't repent you will go to hell, if you
do repept, no matter how great a sinner
you have been, you will be saved. There's
I only one wsy to be paved that's God's
wsy. There sre only two places to
which you Csn go heaven or hell. H
wouldn't be right for Ood to put the
good and bad in ths same place. If He
did, it wouldn't be heaven. I went

"Jesus Christ never went to a funeral.
Jle never followed a hearse or a dead
body to the grave. He never' preached
a funeral sermon. That was out of His
line. He csme thst we might have life
snd that more abundantly. Moody once
waa asked to preach a funeral sermon
snd hs took up bis Bible to see what
Jesus had said on an occasion like that.
He found, he said, thst Jesus had never
preached a sermon at a funeral, but
that He broke up every funeral He ever
attended by restoring the deed to life.
He always turned a house of sorrow into
one of happiness and Joy. Don't you
wish that Jesus had been there when your

had been there when your wife went

Select Boulevard
Route to the Park
On Invitation of Park Commissioner
Hummel, seventy-five property owners
living along the route of the proposed
boulevard extension from Fontenelle to
Miller park, met at the council cham
ber last night to select' one of three
routes proposed. They did so by a ma
jority of about fifty.
As selected, the route from Fontenelle
park will follow the valley to the east
until a point near the head of Kansas
avenue la res chad at about where It In
tersects Thirty-sixth street. From there
le will run due north to Curtis avenue,
tbenoe turning and running due east
down ths avenue; entering the park at
a point where ths little shelter station
stands on Thirtieth street
The opposition to this route, and an
opposition that was slight, favored ex
tending the boulevard north from Kan
sas avenue to Redlck, en Thirty-sixth
street and there turning and running: east
to the northwest sntranoe or the park.
This plsn had tha support of only about
a dosen of the property owners.

have the council stand firm with regard

The directors of the club will be pres
