"Pa" Sunday yesterday afternoon
"wasn't quite up to his usual standard
of pep and punch. There were fully
4,600 people in the tabernacle, the
largest weekday afternoon audience
he has had yet. He preached a good
sermon, but there was Just a little of
the "ultimate ounce" lacking.
Forty-five hundred persons were
there, but a certain one was absent,
for Mrs. Sunday was out addressing
an audience of women at the Happy
Hollow club. It Is very rare for Mrs.
Sunday to be away from the taber
nacle meetings. "Billy" wants her
there. He says he can't preach with
out her. "Ma" is the "power behind
the throne," the mainspring and
fountain of "BillyV ability, the
earthly Inspiration of hia work.
Tha opening was mada by a multi-millionaire,
Ittatt-Sleaae, R. P. Broadhead
of Wllkesbarre, ra.. who came all the
way to Omaha for the sole purpose . of
Visiting the Sundays, following his cus
tom of visiting them once at eaoh place
where they are working.
"Billy" prefaced his sermon with a few
pertinent remarks about religious col
lections. Dlaeaaaes the Collection.
"There are 4.000 people here at least,"
lie said. "If you went to a 10-cent movie
you'd pay M00. If you went to Ringllng's
or Barnum at Bailey's you'd pay W cents
apiece, but since you're in church I ex
peot lt'U average about a cent and a
fealf."
"In the average church two-thlrda of
the people don't give anything toward
expenses.. You don't ride on trains for
toothing or get groceries for nothing, and
Just try to belong to a lodge for nothing
and aea what happens. But they throw
the doors of the church open and so
many deadbeat their way that usually
the churches are behind in money mat
ters. I never could understand It. Why,
It ought to be a pleasure and a privilege
to give."
"Billy" made these remarks after 'the
collection had been taken.
Hla theme was the Pentecostal revival,
when 1,000 were converted, and he dwelt
upon the power of God, that made this
wonderful revival possible and natural.
He heaped scorn and disgust on the
bickerings and differences that rack so
many churches of today, and on the
laziness of church people in God's work.
"You will -make any sacrifice for your
business," he said, "but when It comes
to the church you don't work. The
Spirit of God isn't in you If you'd rather
run away from prayer meeting and go
downtown to some leg show. Why, some
of you old ginks can't remember when
you wars In church. And if there weren't
any more spirit In the women than there

SUNDAY TO PREACH
IN OTHER CLIMES
Next Year May Be .Spent Outside
This Country London ' and
Honolulu on List.
BIG DEMAND ON HIS TIME
"Billy" Sunday definitely made a
decision to become a world-wide
evangelist. This decision was made
upon receipt within the last few days
of two letters from opposite sides of
the earth, each begging and pleading
with him to come to them. "Billy"
believes this is God s way of giving
him the call to go to all the world,
instead of preaching only in the
United States, as he has in the last
eighteen years.
One of tho letters came from London,
England. It U from the Ministerial Al
liance of London and urged him to come
to the world's metropolis If possible the
latter part of next summer.
The other letter Is from Honolulu. This
letter pleads almost pitifully for the
evangelist to come and preach there, and
adds as a postscript and. as though it
was considered of little Importance, the
fact that 110,000 has already been col
lected and Is now in a Honolulu bank to
help defray the expenses of building a
tabernacle, etc.
Mr. Sunday Intends to go "Deus volens"
at the close of thla year's campaign In
the Cnlted fitatea, which takes in Syra
cuse, N. I'.; Bultlmore, Md. Louisville,
Ky., and Trenton, N. J.
Half Aroaad the World.
The plan la to go to Honolulu and
begin the meetings there the first of next
July. At the conclusion of that cam
paign the evangelist will go half way
around the earth to London.
It may be that he will conduct most of
his meetings next year outside tho United
States. If the London meeting should
prove as successful as his meetings in
this country have been. It is likely a
number of otlier meetings will be held
throughout Kngland. Mr. Sunday 'Will
then bold only one campaign a year in
this country, probably choosing one of
the big cities here every year. New Tork,
Chicago, Bualon and St Louis are all on
the waiting Hat and he might take them
on, one each year.
Other cltlea to ' which he has made
tentative promises are Minneapolis, Du-
luth, Indianapolis, Dallas, San Francisco.

OFFICIALS ARE MUCH ANNOYED
ItM.KTIV,
WASHINOT1N, Sept. 9. Am
bassador Penfield, at Vienna, was
Instructed by cable tonight to In
form the Austro-Hungarian govern
ment that Dr. Constantin Dumba no
longer Is acceptable as an envoy to
the United States and to ask' for his
recall.
Secretary Lansing formally an
nounced the action. It was the an
swer oof the American government
to Dr. Dumba's explanation of hla
Intercepted letted to Vienna outlin
ing plans for handicapping plants In
this country making war supplies for
the allies.
BfTLLRTIlf .
WASHINOTON, Sept, 9. Unless
the Austrian government Itself takes
some step in the case of Dr. Constan
ts Dumba, Its ambassador here, the
diplomatics Incident growing out of
the disclosure of the ambassador's
connection with plans for hampering
manufacturers of. war munitions In
the United States probably will be
called to the attention of the Vienna
foreign office.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. Secre
tary Lansing has cancelled the pass
port of James F. J. Archibald, the
American correspondent upon whom
British secret service men found
communications from Dr. Constantln .
Dumba. the Austro-Hungarian am
bassador, to his foreign office on the
subject of fomenting strikes in Amer
ican munitions plants. Archibald
now is at Rotterdam and American
Minister Van Dyke has been in
structed to issue an emergency pass
port to permit his return to the
United States, when the Department
of Justice probably will be called on
to decide it he has violated any law
of the United States In acting as a
messenger for one ot the European
belligerents.
Cancellation of Archibald's passport ta
the first official action n a diplomatic
situation which It has been suggested
might possibly extend so far as to causa
the departure of Dr. Dumba from this
country. '
American government officials were "
am axed at the disclosure which followed
Archibald's detention at Falmouth and
were particularly annoyed that an Amer
ican passport had been used to carry on
what practically amounted ' to military
information.
Dr. Dumba has made his explanations
to Secretary Lansing, saying the only '
instructions from his government were
to give widest publicity to the decree an
nouncing enforcement of the Austxo-'
Hungarian penal code ' against subjects
who engaged in the manufacture of war
munitions for their country's enemies.
He contended he wss fully within hit .
rights in warning his countrymen.
This government's decision, it la under- v
stood, will not be reached until more
documentary . evidence . comes . from
London.
