On the increase, of the number of

This makes a total of 88,738 against

Imitation of the great one. One
town, we recall, had several exper
iences with this class of gen-ry, un
the almost unanimous verdict among
the anti-evangelistic party was that
these Imitators were, to speak
brutally and frankly, out for the
coin, and that they imitated Billy
Sunday because it paid better than it
did to deport themselves in any oth
way.
There was the case of p

The evangelist, however, was un
daunted. His first night's crowd was
slim, and the second night was slim
mer. The third night he was ready
for them. He informed the audience
that that very afternoon, three young
high school girls had come to him
and had told him, through their
tears, that the morality of the stu
dents in the public schools was hit
ting the toboggan somehlng awful,
and that they were more or less in
nocent victims. For the next three
nights he made revelation after re
velation, and the next day he repair
ed to the newspaper offlce with com
plete accounts of his disclosures.
Ordinary newspapers would have
jumped at the chance to spread so
much Bcandal abroad. But the news
papers of this town were different.
They considered the source, care
fully, and made inquiries of the
school authorities. Assured them
that there was little if any founda
tion for the outrageous charges, the
newspapers shut up concerning the
evangelist like clams, and forgot,
from that time on, to mention the
gentleman. And in the course of
time the three 'weeks expired and"
Mr. Evangelist moved out of town on
the night train, accompanied to trie

we can discover, they never did meet
again. And the town, at least, didn't
suffer by It.

And so. In the course of time, the
Billy Sunday era in church evangel
ism will happily die out. Maybe the
coming of the movie will hasten fta
going, and if so, it will be the great
est victory the movie has ever won.
This will attract the people who seek
amusement or entertainment at the
church services, and if the films are
not too carefully censored and every
gleam of any other interest save tne
religious eliminated, will leave a
better taste in their mouths and a
higher opinion of the church in the
minds. And who shall say that it
will not furnish a welcome change
for the ardent churchgoers?
