Ills breath earn? In gasps. Th? s\v?>i't streamed from his fa??, llo let himself down from th? tahletop, caught up a pitcher of water and drained a gluss at a gulp. There was just a moment of si lent-?- then the quiet' was smashed by a tremendous* roar. Nearly 20.000 |M?r moiis rose up from the raw pin? lienches and eased their findings with a shout that must ha v? jarred Father Penn ho high and mighty on his high i>ereh of the city hall tower. It was such a crash of heavy vocal artillery as Is mighty seldom heard outside of a Na tional convention when Mr. Bryan, let us say, or Colonel Roosevelt, swings Into the convention hall at the well known and keenly calculated dramatic moment. The way the 20,000 expressed ap proval of Billy's or, to give him his more dignified and proper churehly title, the Rev. Dr. William A. Sunday's method of preaching the Gospel aftd berating the evil one, was more than interesting- It was startling for this Old city, where the word of? Hod Is not usually bawled into the human ear and where doctors of divinity do not find It part of their pastoral duty to Imi tate Marcelline of the Hippodrome or turn handsprings through New and old Testaments. But th? thing that counted? that ex plained the Rev. Billy's presence in Philadelphia ? was the palpable satis faction. Joy, and even exaltation of the hundreds of scholarly fnced, gentle spoken clergymen scattered throughout the congregation., . There \Vere 400 of them, representing most, of the Pro testant churches of the city, and their "Aniens" and their fervent cries and gestures endured long after the uproar of the laymen had dwindled to a imir mur. Do you understand no\v 'why Billy Sunday has exploded from the small towns to l>eat th? Old Nick around the bush for nine -weeks in Philadelphia and to emit language that seems actual ly to rls? up and curl like blue smoke among the rafters? If you are in any doubt the doubt can be resolved speed ily. Billy cnme fresh to the job this morning, so eager to shout that he could barely wait for the singing of old hymns to be finished. He tore off his fur coat, tossed his hat under a bench and jumped upon the platform. The minute the singing was over and an invocation had been said Billy was hammering the table, challenging the forces of evil. He Is said to "go easy" at the outset of a revival, content to wait a few days or even a few weeks before reaching deep down into his vocabulary for the phrases that make them stare. But he seemed to do pret ty well for a starter this morning. *His text was from Ads, 28:20: "Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?" "We speak of Gbd as the- Father," said Billy Sunday, "but I want to tell you right here and now that 1 do not believe In the universal fatherhood' of God or. the universal brotherhood of man. You can't preach that stuff to me. That's just another one of out Twentieth Century apologies. We call Him the (Creator and the leather. Well,, he has succeeded In making a lot of sons look like mutts to me." And squarely down in the first row an elderly clergyman, who you k&ew at 'first glance had nothing in common with slang or slang makers, threw up bfs right hand and pronounced a son orons, reverent "Amen !" The evangel 1st swung to the subject of miracles. , ' '"Miracles are possible!" he shouted. "Po you remember what God did for Joshua? He bent toward the sun, and " 'Tlcre ! Sun ! Stay where you are iihfnTos?lWft gives you the hlgh fdgn.' So the sun stood still and Joshua went right fthead and licked the enemies of 'God to a frazzle and took his time to the job. "Ssmson had the Holy Gl^ost behind him too. He picked tip the jawbone of an ass and killed a thousand Phil* Jstines.

He made his remarks a little more personal ! : "Because .vou rode here this inorn liiK h> an automobile Instead of hooting It. does not make you any better," he tUpig at the congregation. "And be- i eause yon may wear a diamond us big as a hickory nut in your shirt front doe# not make you any hotter. The curse of tlx* world today Is the egotl* Ileal, selfish eonteutmont of men.

There is so much organisa tion In the Church that you"1 can hear kthe machinery squeak, but. we havn't got oil enough of the Holy (2 host to grease one axle of (Jed's chariot. Lis ten to me!

And then they sing No, 38. Then they get up and sing : "Oh, To Bo Nothing, Nothing: Only To Sit at His Feet." We used to sing that song, but I found out they took It so literally that I cut it out? the same as I have cut slang from my sermons." # Att the time the Hev. Billy had been getting laughs, as well as "Amens," but he declined to let them hold a laugh very long. "Then there is a long pause," he went on. "and some one says: "Ix?t us sing No. 52," and they start "Throw out the Life Line." They liavep't got strength enough to put up a clothesline. I tell you (Jod has got a hard Job on His hands here in Philadelphia." For a quarter of an hour longer the Rev. Billy flamed over the evils of drunkenness and milk and water moral Ity. As the noon angelus was sound ing from the Catholic Cathedral across Logan Square from the tabernacle th.*; evangelist wound up his morning ser mon and bowed to a perfect gale of applause. ?
