STRIVE TO BE MUCH LARGER
"Forces That Win," waa the aubjoot
of "Billy" Sunday'a sermon at the taber
nacle last evening, when he preached
specially for young men and women. He
poke aa follows:
I feel that I am talking to the future
through you as a long-distance tele
phone. At the time of President MCKInlfys
funeral procession this country for five
minutes stopped all work. The rail roads,
every factory, the machinery of this land
stood still; tho banker stopped counting
his money; the merchant quit measuring
the onmmondltles and left them unmeas
ured, tha farmer stopped his plow In the
furrow, every student closed bis book
for five minutes, and with uncovered
heads we ail attempted to pay a mark
of respect and tribute to the man. who
tried to make this a better nation, and
happier men and women, and children.
I am glad we did that, thus ahowlng
to the people that we did not forget
to place a high value on character, al
though we eeem at times to ba commer
cially daaed and drunk. We stood still
long enough to testify to the world that
It matters not to what political party
a man belongs, If ha tries to make this
a better nation and make better homes.
I am glad there are a great many
periods In our Uvea whan we laugh, and
I can recall a good many in my life that
I wish I could forget.
TOO Yea re blvem McKlaley.
Seventy-five million people In the United
Mtatea, each giving five mlnutee. would
make over 700 years of service rendered
MoKlnley. I am glad we did It. I am
glad there la a Fourth of July, when
we uncoil our enthusiasm and testify
to the world that we realise at what
oost we laid the foundation of the great
eat nation God's eyes ever rested upon.
I am glad there ta an Easter to recall
Him that burst through the bonde of
death; I am glad we havo Christmas to
recall Him that was born amidst the
malodorous, unwashed beaata In the
manger to save us, If we are men and
women enough to accept Him.
I am glad there la a tabor day to
rv.v tribute to the man with the dinner
tmcket and calloused hand. I am glad
we have a Thanksgiving day, when we
all Journey back home and eat turkey
and cranberry sauce and rntnoe pie.- As
a nation, we can raise enough to feed
the world.
Listen, you boys, when you go Into the
world It takes something more than
being a student to make a successful
man. But a student Is a tnousana unw
bigger than the Qod-forsaken. mutt of a
corner loafer who hangs about the bar
room drinking all he can and sneering at
religion. The girl student Is a bigger
woman than the girl who spends all her
time seeking after ptsasurea.
It la like a girl, when she Is about 17
years of age and bar mother Introduces
her . to some young man. She says:
"Mamma, mamma, who Is her' When
she becomes M and bar mother Intro
duces her to some young man, she says:
"Mamma, mamma what Is bar But when

him threw beak bis head and look up at

In the crowd. But at borne he's some
pumpkin.
It Is like the grasshopper. He sat on
a sunflower ana ne Bweuea up wun
pride, and he said: "I am the blggeet
thing that ever happened, and when I
strike the ground it will tremble as from
an earthquake.' And be leaped to the
ground right In front of a big turkey
gobbler. The earth did not tremble, but
along name a big fat ban. and she safer
to the turkey gobbler: "Did you see a
fat-legged grasshopper pass along this
way r" And aa the turkey gobbler gulped,
he said: "He didn't pass; he stopped."
As the grasshopper tried to adjust
Itself to the craw of the gobbler to
a more comfortable poeltVxv, said:
"Hew little and dried up and us si ass
I am bare. How big I waa out there, or
how big I thought I waa" Tou are big
or little, not according to avoirdupois,
but according te what you are.
rhoolbor Blasjvv Tha a Loafer.
How many opportunities to develop
yourselves physically and morally and to
make good you pees up because you are
too laay to do anything except make
yourself fit to be one of the crowd.
Now, young folk, I want to tell jroa
something la the hope that I can Induce
you to write your lives In Italic
I hold that the boy who goes to school
Is bigger than the young lobster that
loafs la the streets; amokea cigarettes,
goea Into the back door of grog shop
and tries to drink the whole bunch under
the table. It la blsger to pray than It
la to blaspheme; It la bigger to pray than
it ta to be that little scoundrel that walks
tha streets blaspheming and sneering at
religion. It Is bigger to alt In a church
than it la to line up with the bunch at
some bar with a French plate glass In
front.
Ws have the greatest nation In the
universe, and the greatest opportunities
to become something In all the world,
and If you can't become something, you
are a mutt, a mollycoddle, excess bag
gage, and nothing but a mere cipher.
This element In us; this hope for some
thing barter la nature clearing the ground.
That Is why the young man roes west.
He la tired of being a molehill and wants
to be a mountain.
Not to grow up, not to get bigger in
to bring on yourself the contempt of
those who do grow.
Make Toareelf Larger.'
Branch out and make yourself larger
than you now are in character. A
midget in body can be turned Into
financial account in a dime museum.
Klngllng Bros.' will pay well for a
physical monstrosity. A midget In
character, and a midget In morals la

A woman once aald to her husband:
"William, I dreamed last night that I
attended an auctlun and they were selling
husbands, and they brought all the way
from tuUO to SlO.QUO." "Wife." aald he,
"tha fellows that brought 114,000 were
like me?" "No, husbands like you sold
three bunches for a nickel."
A midget In mind, and a midget In
character la Ilka a carbuncle,
Tou can't look up and admire a runt
In mind and a runt In character unless
you do it under protest.

mighty man of valor," He aald to David:
"Tou are a man after my own heart,"

Tou have got to have your desire to

and like a hog wants slop.
It's a great deal like watering a horse.
