"Ma" Sunday has returned to
Omaha, and "Billy" la smiling again.
She has been visiting her younger
children at the Sunday eastern home
at Winona Lake, Ind.
Another "hot" arrmon for men only la
announced for Sunday afternoon by Bob
Matthews, "Billy'' Sunday' prees agent
and secretary. The subject will be "The
Devil's Boomerang" or "Hot CaJtea Oft
the Griddle."
A telegram of appreciation and confi
dence received by Mr. Sunday from
the annual atate conference of the United
Brethren In Christ, which la now in ses
sion at York. "Billy" wired a reply,
to the effect that auch . words of en
couragement meant more to htm than all
Sunday Depicts Selfishness in
the Lives of Men and Women
Last nlKht Rev. "Billy" Funday spoke
on the subject, "No One Cares for My
Soul." The text and sermon follow:
Psalms 112:4, "No man cared for my
soul."
Life and nature seem to be made up
largely of contrast. Midnight, mldnoon;
summer, winter; heat, cold; hills, valleys;
famine, plenty; rain, drouth; sickness,
health; vice and virtue walk the street;
joy and sorrow look from the same
window; the hearse follows quickly after
the bridal procession; the funeral dirge is
heard mingling with the wedding march;
tears follow laughter. All lives are more
or less a contrast. But no life, no history,
sacred or profane, to me presents a
larger number than that of David, the
author of my Psalm and text, I am first
introduced to him whan a shepherd lad,
when he herded his father's flocks, when
Samuel was sent of God to anoint him
king of Israel. The next vision I catch
of David is that he has . thrown the
shepherd crook on the ground, picked up
the crown, climbed up and sat down on
the throne and swayed a scepter Instead
of a shepherd's crook. The next vision I
have of David Is that he has become a
sinner. He forgot God, to whom he was
Indebted, and trailed and dragged his
name In filth; then, by crying unto God,
Who granted him pardon, he became a
saint He was also a poet of no mean
ability. He was a musician, .too, and
charmed King Saul in his melancholy
moods. He was a warrior, and led the
hosts of God to victory. Hla son Absalom,
had rebelled. Saul. Jealous of his popu
larity and success, sought to kill him,
and chased him from the mountains like
a partridge, and David went from pillar
to post and at last took refuge In the
oave of Engeda. Then It was that the
words of my text were wrung from his
heart. "I looked on my right hand, and
beheld, but there was no man that would
know me; refuge failed me; no man cared
for my soul."
It seems strange to me that any man,
at any period of the world's history,
should be compelled to use words like
these, and that such words should be
the honest expression of the lack of in
terest manifest toward htm by those
whom he knew and with whom he came
in contact; but It Is more than passing
atrange to me that any man In your day
and mine, with auch opportunities to
know God,-with all the Inducements that
he has. his knowledge of Christianity
and he has seen that bigotry and super
stition have been swept away and we
stnnd on a foundation of common sense
I say it does seem to me staggering and
astoundlngly strange that any roan could
use words like these, and that they
would be the honest expression of the
lack of Interest manifest toward him by
those who profess to love and know the
Lord. And yet it is true. "No man cared
for my soul." It is as true In Omaha as
when David, from the cave In the moun
tains, cried it out.
Tare for Tawlr Bodies.
Did you ever stop to think of the great
concern which Is manifest for people in
times of physical distress? Let the cry of
a child be heard and we will drop our
money, we will turn from the counter,
we will stop discussing politics or talking
religion, w will forget our differences
of creed and color and will rush to the
aid of the helpless whose cry has called
ua.
It is a solemn thought when It may
apply to people who come to your own
church. Kvery church has a standard.
There are certain men In this town, when
they go to church they go because their
mother went there, or because their wife
Is a member,' or because their children
are In the Sabbath school.
They Art WaltlnaT.
Sometimes you might think people don't
car to talk about religion. Now you
listen! Where you will find one man or
one woman that will treat you disre
spectfully you will find one hundred
that will listen to you and thank you
because you came. Then let the on go
to hell and try to get the one hundred.
If a man Is so low down and good for
nothing and God forsaken that he would
treat you disrespectlvely if you would go
and talk to him about Jeaus Christ, I
have no patience with him.
Infidel Towa.
I Was at one time In a town In Ne
braska and the people kept telling me
' about one man there. I can take you to
a section of that county that la as
rotten as hell the Republican valley in
Nebraska. It waa settled by infidels,
from Portage Junction down to the Mis
souri river, and the lower end of It.
Nebraska City, and that Republican val
lew is rotten with Infidels. Don't ever
go out there. The wrong crowd got there
first. Well, I was In a town In Nebraska
and they said: "There la one man bare.

I asked another minister If he had been

the United Presbyterian preacher (they

he aald no, he hadn't been around to see

to see him." I found the fellow seated In

The first "Billy" Sunday meeting In
Council Bluffs mas held yesterday morn

More than 175 women and a few men as
sembled at Htllcrest.
A musical program waa followed by a
prayer and sermon by Sunday, ho took
for hla text Jeremiah $A. "And the
vessel that he made of clay was marred
in the hands of the potter; so he made
it again another vessel as seemed good
to the potter to mske It."
He spoke of regeneration and likened
his hearers to the clay and Uod to the
potter, declaring that persons who fall to
attain the height they might have
reached, nevertheless may become use
ful and valuable members of society.
He told of his first visit to Council
Bluffs forty years ago. when friendless
and forlorn, he passed through the city

got up and took me by the hand. I aald
"my name la Sunday; I'm down at the
church preaching. A good many have
been talking to me about you and I came
down to see you and ask you to give your
heart to God." He looked at me, walked
to a cupboard, opened the door, took out
a half pint flask of whiskey and threw
it out on a pile of stones. He then
turned around, took roe by the hand, and
as the tears rolled down his cheeks he
said, "I have lived In this town nine
teen years and you are the first man
that has ever asked me to be a Chris
tian." He said, "they point their finger
at me and call me an old drunkard. They
don't want my wife around with their

the church eleven years ago when a mem
ber of the lodge died, but I've never been
back and I said 1 never would go." I
said, "you don't want to treat the church
that way. God isn't to blame. Is He?"
"No." "The church Isn't to blame. Is
It?" "No." "Christ isn't to blame?"
"No." "You wouldn't think much of me
If I would walk up and slap your wife

would you?
Then don't slap God In the face, be

church that you don't like, and who
are treating you badly. God Is all right
He never treated you badly. Come up
and hear me preach, will you, John?"
"Yes, I'll come tonight." I said: "All
right, the Lord bless you, and I will
pray for you."

He came; the seats were all filled, and
they crowded him down the side aisle. I
can see him now, standing there, with
his hat in his hand, leaning against the
wall, looking at me. He never took his
eyes off me. When I got through and
gave the Invitation, he never waited for
them to let him out; be walked over the
backs of the seats, took his stand for
Jesus Christ, and In less than a week
seventy-eight men followed him Into the
kingdom of God. They fleeted that man
chairman of the civio federation, and he
eleaned the town up for Jesus .Christ,
and has led the hosts of righteousness
from then until now. Men do care to
talk about Jesus Christ and about their
souls. "No man cares for my soul."
That's what's the trouble. They are anxi
ous and waiting for someone to come.
How melancholy have been the last
days of some whom the world has called
great! Caesar was stabbed to death.
Alexander the Great sat down and wept,
as he wrapped the drapery of-his couch
about him. Godfrey languished In Jail.
Charles V got a melancholy streak and
locked himself up. Napoleon spent his
last days on St Helena's barren rock.
How sad have been the latter days of
many who have climbed to the very
pinnacle and looked down. The world
doesn't care. There is many a man.

If It is figurative: how much Is literally

The devil doesn't care. He leads you

awaken to your peril you will cry out,
"Oh mretched man that I am; who will
