WAKE UP PHILADELPHIA.
Scenes at the Opening of The
~ Famous Evangelists' Sot
vices in Quaker City.
The fastest has? runner ttofc Nation*
a! !<?ague over saw leaped at a bound
to tin* top of a table on the stage of
his, HtU.v Sunday's, brand new tal>er
uaele at Nineteenth and Pino streets
this morning, smacked bis hands to
gether with a r?|M>rt Ilk? a rill? shot
ami raised Ids vote? to a shriek :
"Come on, you fort th of evil in
VMdliutolphia that have made the
church n doormat to Hvhs* your dirt*
feet' upon ! ( Vuu u on, you triple' ex
tract of infamy! Come on, you assas
sins of tdmraeter- Com? on, you de
famer* i?f Hod and enemies of His
Church! i Vim? on. you hull necked,
beetle browed, hog Jo w led, peanut
i> rained, weasel ' eyed four*4i ushers,
f:iise alarms ami excess baggage! In
the nutne of Almlght v Hod 1 challenge
*
?Mid defy vmi! I'm her? for nine weeks.
(Nunc <>n. and I'll dollver th? goods, ex
i>i*?ss prepaid !"
Blllv Sunday's voice dlod away to
a whisper. 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. Wherever the, Apostle Paul

the platform, whirled forward his right ;
list as If he wore shooting a hall from
eenterlleld t<> the home plate, dropi>ed
on one kius* to make ^he catch him
self, and words fairly tumbled from
his uiouth. 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

curse of tlx* world today Is the egotl*
Ileal, selfish eonteutmont of men. Be

? "We've not churches, lots of them.
We've goi plenty of seminaries and
they are turning out preachers and
puftiug them Into little theological
moulds and keeping them there until
they get cold enough to practice
preaching.
"Why, at Pentecost, one sermon sav
ed 3, (NX) people. Now It takes 3,000
sermons to get one old buttoriullk
eyed, red nosed, whiskey soaked blas
phemer. A fellow came to me and
said : "Hilly, the trouble Is we need
organization In the Church."
"(Jod help us ! We are organized
too much. There is so much organisa

kthe machinery squeak, but. we havn't
got oil enough of the Holy (2 host to
grease one axle of (Jed's chariot. Lis

the Y. W; C. A., the Y, P. S. C. B.,
the C. T. V., the I. TVX., the J. E. L.

"Some one gets up and reads a i>oein
from The Christian Endeavor Herald.
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

from previous fertilizations. Add
phosphate is not only a valuable plant

it hastens the maturity of plants, es

from running to stalk or weetj."
"On account of the European War
our source of potash, which comes from
Germany, has heen cut off, causing the
