MANY CITIES CALL
FOR BILLY SUNDAY
Baltimore Pays Sent on Tabernacle
Site Orer a Year Waiting for
Evangelist to Come.
IS TO VISIT SYRACUSE NEXT
If "Billy" Sunday could create ten
other 'Bllly, Sundays, each like unto
himself In look and gesture and gyra
tion and Idiosyncrasy and personality
and power, he could immediately as
sign each of the ten to a big city of
the United States to conduct a re
ligions campaign. And after the ten
had concluded their campaigns he
could assign them all to ten other
big cities. And so he could continue
all through this year and part of
next Just with the urgent requests
be already has.
But there's only one "Billy" Sun
day. That is why such cities as New
York and Boston and Chicago have
to wait. That is why Baltimore
secured a desirable site oyer a year
ago and paid rent of $3,500 a year
Just to hold it ready so that they can
build a tabernacle on it when their
turn comes.
A letter haa.Juot bn ivoelved at the
Sunday heaHquartera from the Men'a In
terdenominational council of Duluth, J. If.
Cook, chairman, statins that It had ae
cured a dealrable tabernacle site and
waa rolng- to pay rent for It until Mr.
Sunday answers their call for a campaign
there. i
Syracuse, N. T.. and Trenton. N. J., are
definitely scheduled to follow the Omaha
meeting. Baltimore and Louisville are
to be visited also before next summer.
Baltimore waa to have come right after
Trenton, but Mr. Sunday is likely to
change this, taking; Louisville first ant
then Baltimore, on account of cllmatlo
conditions. Louisville being- likely to be
more comfortable In February and March
and Baltimore more comfortable In April
and May.
Hooalers Mast Watt.
Word waa also received from the
Church Federation of Indianapolis, stating-
that all the conditions for a Sunday
campaig-n have been complied with and
asking Mr: Sunday to set a date when a
committee from Indianapolis can call on
him. The Indiana city has an unique or
ganization of Bible classes, which is
largely behind the campaign movement.
It Is Impossible for the evangelist to hold
a campaign there for at least two years.
A telegram waa received from Fort
Worth, Tex., etating that a delegation
from that city will call on Mr, Sunday
September 15 to lay the claims of ' the
city for a revival campaign before him.
Mr. Sunday has never held a campaign
south of the Mason and Dixon line. His
revival In Louisville, Ky., next winter
will be the first In the south. The Fort
Worth telegram is signed by S. D. May
f'-cld and II. M. Dobbs.
"MA" SUNDAY MAKES TALK
BEFORE THE WOMAN'S CLUB
Mrs. William Sunday waa the guest
of honor at the annual meeting of the
Omaha Woman's club, which waa given
Thursday at Happy Hollow.' In speak
ing to the club women at the luncheon
Mra. Sunday said she and Mr. Sunday
had the same object In view as did the
women the object to do good at all
times. Owing to another engagement for
the afternoon Mrs. Sunday left Immedi
ately after the luncheon.

Friday afternoon at the tabernacle
"Billy' Sunday took his text from Mark
lx:36, "Why could not we cast him out,"
words of the disciples asking Jesus why
they couldn't cast out the devil.
Dr. Sunday put the words of hla text
Into the mouth of the church of today
and told them why they fall to "cast out
the devils of drink, licentiousness. Indif
ference and so on. Ills eormon, waa as
follows: y . .
When Jesus came down from the Mount
of Transfiguration with Peter, James and
John and reached the valley below he
saw the remainder of the disciples sur
rounded by a multitude of people ques
tioning them. There were the ethical cuj
turlsta, the highbrows of the. day, the
Pharisoea, who were the hypocritical
churchy knockers, the Sadducees, who
wer the herotlca and higher crltlca.
Aa Jesus came nearer he noted a father
who had brought hla little boy, who waa
poaseased of an evil spirit which had
thrown him In fire and water, had
caugod him to have convulsions and made
him to fall on the ground and gnash his
teeth and foam at the mouth. The dis
ciples had each tried to drive It out, but
all had failed, and the devil was even
then exercising hla power and had the
boy writhing on the ground In such con
vulsions aa he had never before had.
Now notice. First, the disciples thought
they had a big crowd around them. But
what 'did It matter if there waa a big
crowd and there waa no devil cast out?
That'a the trouble with many today. They
think that Ood Isn't within ten miles of
a meeting unless there Is a big crowd.
Cast Oat the Devils.
I can see those diaciplea praying and
talking and having a big time. There
are many misguided ministers who are
satisfied If they can only draw a large
crowd. Some are as craxy after sensa
tion as the yellowest newspaper that ever
came off the press. That'a the reason we
have these sermons on "The Hobble
Skirt" and the "Merry Widow Hat" and
other such nonsensical tommy rot If
there wasn't so many March hare sort of
fellows breaking Into pulpits you would
have to sweat more and work harder.
I wouldn't give that (snapping his fin
gers) for a large crowd if there weren't
any devils cant out. There are some of
you right here today that have the devil
In you. Maybe you don't treat your wife
square. Maybe you cheat la your weights.
Get rid of the devil.
What dies it matter if you pack a
church to the roof If nothing happens
to turn the devil pale. What is the
use of putting chairs In the aisles If
there la no devil to chase down the
aisles and out of doors?
The object of the church Is to cast
out devils. I hope Ood wtU never let
roe forget that there is somebody In
every one ot my audiences, big or small
aa they may be, he wanla me to reach.
The church never awlngs open her
doors' and the pews are never filled
without there Is somebody inside with
a devil in him that ought to be caat out
But how quickly all changed when
Jesus came on the scene. It always does.
The Scribes and the Pharisees atopped
their quisling the disciplea when Jeaua
came on the scene. So will you all. Then
you won't look wise and nay: "Where
did Cain get bis wife?" You'll stagger
back In awe at his power. Tou won't pull
his whiskers and split hairs over whether
Paul wrote Hebrews, or bow many
Isaiahs there are.
The father saw Jeaua and he forsook
the crowd. That'a what alwaya happens
when any one aeea Jesus. The world will
know that It's where Christ la. The
people will alwaya flock to a place where
Christ la being preached.
Were you ever In the aame fix aa that
father? Have you a boy, who la a drunk
ard, a girl who la frivolous, friends who
are going wrong, a husband or wtfe who
la untrue? If you have some relative
like that you will know how that father
felt when he eald, "Have compassion."
If a terrible calamity strikes you there
la only one who can remedy It, and that
Is Jesus Christ. You can go to all of
your philosophers, critics, millionaires,
but they can't help you. Nd one ever
went to Christ like that and waa dis
appointed. He knows what It la to be friendless,
to have every one desert him, to not
have a place for his head. He knows
what it Is to be lied about, for they
lied about him from the time he was
born until the end. They could find no
spot, no blemish on him, so they started
a regular campaign of vllllficatlon. He
knows what It la to be spit upon, to be
taunted. No one ever had a harder
time in thla world than Jesus Christ. It's
a disgrace to humanity that he had such
a hard time of It, that he waa vtlllfled
and taunted so much.
No matter what your lot. Christ will
have compassion. The father was help
less himself, so he eald. "Have compas
sion." Can you Imagine Jesus Christ
turning a deaf ear to such a plea? I
can't The devil defied the disciples,
but Jesus said, "I charge you to come
out of him." (He not only drove htm
out, but barred the door against his re
turning) "and enter no more Into him."
So he did two things. He drove the
devil out of him and then told him to
stay out. No more would that devil
bother Mm. He might bear the scare
caused by the devil being In him before,
but it was now "Goodby, demon." So it
Is with the drunkard. He may bear the
scars he received before he waa redeemed,
but the Ixrd can make him stay away
from the boose.
If the church of God would get down
on her kneea and ask for the teachings
of the Lord, the breweries and all the
devils would have to work a lot harder
for what thoy get.
The deepest sorrow comes through our
own flesh and blood. The highest Joy
also comes through the succeanea and
hleh achieveinenta of our own flesh and
blood, of our friends. Think of that
father, with his boy just delivered from
the power of the devil, paying 26 cents
per year for missions. Think of him alt
ting In the pew, and when the plate waa
passed digging down deep in hla pocket
to look for a nickel or a cent
The while the mother and father were
rejoicing over the devil being caat out
the dUclples came to him and asked,
"Why could we not cast him out?" They
didn't go anywhere else. They went right
to Jesus. A preachers' meeting la a
mighty poor place to go to find out why
you have failed. Go to Jesus. Go to
Jesus; he'll tell you why you have failed
and will tell you how to succeed.
I'm glad this lesson waa not left out of
the Bible. If It had been left out I
would never have known that the disci
ples could fall. Just think, men who had
Uved with Jeaua, had talked with him
for years; heard him preach I We are apt
to think that they were of a perfection
not possible for us. But it is possible for
ua to be as perfect aa the disciples or aa
Paul.
The disciplea wer Just common flesh
and blood the same aa we are. We ran
get a good lesson from this and can learn
from the mistakes of other people.
A fellow won't slip on the same ba
nana peel twice unless he's a fool. Like
some of you people you know you're not
living to please God, and yet you're not
manly, womanly or decent enough to ad
mit It
The trouble with the disciples waa that
they were not getting the power from
God to do things he wanted. If a aa ln
posalble to pray right when your life la
wrong aa It la to run an automobile with
diahwater.
Kearlaar Christianity.
Christianity la not a mere ayatem of
teaching. Christianity la a ayatem of
teaching, plua living. Be not bearera of
the word only, but doera of the word.
Christianity is not a Scripture and creed,
but Bciipture and creed, plus Jeaua. See?
Don't expect Ood to do things for you
until you tell him what's wrong with you.
A doctor won't give you medicine until
he knows what alia you. lie won't give
you aulphur for a corn on your toe; that'a
good for the Itch.
Some of you. If you took no more care
of your body than you do your aoul,
would be wlsened and withered aa muuh
physically aa you are spiritually. Some
of you are no account, anyhow. You
know that, prem-hera. You know that
some of them are good enough only to
count one more In your yearly report.
Christianity 1 a new motive power.
Man will never rise hlshrr than his Ideals.
Man will never go further than his
dynamic foce. There was an eld steamer
on the Mississippi which always brought
up the rear when the boats ramn In, an.t
the people used to come down and watch
It behind all ot the others.
One clay It failed to appear and they
waited and waited and the next time the
boats came In It was leading them all.
It was under full steam and had a
brand new coat of paint. "Hey, captain,"
some one yelled, "dors that new coat of
paint make you load them all?" "Not on
your life," was the answer; "Its got a
new boiler and a new engine. That's
what' makes It go." So with Christianity.
Christianity Is a new motive power. It
gives a man power to pass boote and
say, "Not on your life,"
liet Sermoaa from the Rlhle.
If you're a preacher, are your sermons
so much- hot air? Do you get your ser
mons out of the ltlble or out of the
magaslnes? Do you take dead aim at thj
sinners In the front row? Are you In the
pulpit because you've got a drag with the
church offlclala and tliey want you there?
Do you make it easier to do right and
harder to do wrong? Do you make it
easier to go to heaven and harder to go
to hell?
There la no failure so sure as that
which comes when you try to do some
thing for God without first getting the
power of Ood. If you don't see that,
you're aa big a fool aa the fellow who
expects a trolley car to run when the
trolley la ten feet away from the wire.
I guess there, are church pillars here
today, or, as somebody said, "pliler
shams." Yes, I'll bet there are a lot
of you going as straight to hell aa the
bird files.
This work Is God'a plan. The devil
didn't have anything to do with the
building of thla tabernacle. He didn't
drive a single nail or lar a single
board. So don't you dare lift your
voice against God. You'd better have
a millstone around your neck and get
thrown Into the Missouri. What fools
these mortals be. Old Kill Shakespeare
was up on hla Job, all right.
What hinders revivals? It isn't the
dirty, vile, hellish, cursing, corrupted,
sewerage, contemptible saloon gang
alone; It Isn't the licentiousness; it
isn't the redllght district; it's the quar
rels and selfishness of God's people U
God, pity you. It I didn't have enough
religion In me to stop quarreling and
stay stopped, I'd get It or quit the church.
What would the disciples think of
preaching? Each wanted to have the
best chance, each wanted to be the big
gest duck In the puddle, each wanted to
be In the spotlight.
Rod Is Blaaer Than Yon.
All right America! Go ahead with
your licentiousness. Cut loose and go
as far aa you like, but see what God
will do.
Why could we not cast him out? Be
cause they were scrapping with each
other; In their selfish arbitration hey
could not eee God's will. God will never
hear a prayer when pride la the main
spring. It'a hard to Imagine those disciplea fall
ing out with each other. Imagine the
fingers on your hand quarreling, the
thumb fuasing with the little finger. Im
agine the Presbyterians wrangling with
the MethodjBta, the Lutherans with the
Episcopalians. Imagine the hair on your
head fighting the wheel In your watch.
Christian people haive got to realise that
God la bigger than they are, and they've
got no right to fuse.
I believe that aome time In the Ufa of
every mart and woman there will come a
time when they will pray. It will be In
their sins, but because they will try to
bribe God. When the Titanic went down
every man prayed. I say there will come
a time in the life of every one of you
when you will pray.
But God won't hear a selfish prayer
simply because you want to bribe God
and think he will hear It My eara are
brass. Look at the Pharisee strutting up.
the temple like a peacock, preaontlng
himself like a bird of paradise, and In a
sonorous oratory bellowing out: "I thank
thee, God, I am not as other men. I
thank thee that I am not aa thla publican
here." Right then the recording angel
dropped hla pen and gave up in despair.
But when you come like a publican.
"God be merciful to me, a sinner," then
God will hear your prayer. Every man
who humbles himself will be lifted up,
but every one who exalts himself will be
lowered.
