Sunday Fund Set Record. v t When Billy Sunday left this city r la6t night he had. in his pocket a t draft for $ol,136.S5, also checks and bills amounting to about a thousand dollars more. This was Philadel-1 phia's thank offering to the evangelist. To many members of the Sun- ^ day campaign committee, this amount j was a disappointment. They had ex- v pected it would be at least'ten thous- t and dollars higher. However, the t collection was the largest Sunda> v ever received. The next largest. ^ $46,000. was given him in Pittsburg. f According to Joseph M. Steele. ) chairman of the committee, the smali | j number of large contributions re-1 r ceived here was disappointing. There j j was one check for $5,000, two for < g $1,000 each and one for $500. There a were many for one hundred and two j hundred and fifty dollars each.? v Philadelphia Bulletin. / T I'se the Newspapers. j Don't advertise on trees or rocks Afar from the haunts of men. s You cannot sell the woodchuck , clocks .

The diary of a boy scout, publishd in the .Manchester (Bngland I luardian, is an interesting piece of uvenile literature and describes iore clearly than has heretofore een done, some of the work the couts are doing. "H? and 1 have complete charge f sixteen miles of coast." the young dventurer boasts in telling of his ife in an isolated bungalow on the < orth shore on the lookout for liosile cruisers and aircraft or the sig- ; ailing of spies. He tells of sleeptig 011 the table on a pile of overoats until midnight, when the two oys went on duty. Some paragraphs from the diary < ead: '"Had a very decent night. Re- : eived message about the Zeppelin 1 aid and as H? and I were alone i re had a rather exciting time. We i ailed the military, as instructed, i nd our six-hour watch passed like , few minutes. "The lookout box, in which I am , ow writing is a small place, about ( ive feet bv eight, with windows on hree sides, which look out to the ea. It has a stove, cupboard, vaious telephones, signals, revolvers, ifles, telescopes, clocks, etc. H? . ias now the revolver around his rajst. He is. of course, on duty outide. He conies in every few niintes, passing remarks on the night. "Friday?it is now midday, and I? and I have just come off duty. ( Ye have had a very interesting! uorning. Two government patrol mats have passed quite close to us.! '.so two tugs towing a big salvage' rane, which in turn was towing ai lereliet. Life here is great: you I :ave no idea how important and bossy' we feel when on watch, beause even the soldiers come to us very hour to know it we nave any; uessages or orders. The 'dugouts.' trenches.' 'guns,' along the coast are imply glorious; really I'm in my lement. We are on very good terms i nth the soldiers?so good, in fact, hat when, we said it was a bit cold j n our bungalow the lieutenant ask-l d for blankets, and the men. I beieve offered fifty, ten of which were .ccepted. I have now four blankets! nd great-coat, also a ground sheet j .nd camp bed. and I really sleep as; veil here as I do at home, the only j lifference being that I find no diffi-; ultv in getting up when called, at all ] lours of the night or day. We get a : 6-hour rest 'stand-off' (nautical ex-1 iressioni every fifth day. "I have charge of the log. and it] iractically takes up all my spare, ime. because we are on twelve hours aid off twelve. But the log-book; iromises to be a very interesting vol-! ime when completed if I keep up on: he same lines as I have begun.

"This is a rotten, flat, and unineresting coast, although the surf on j he reefs (of which there are plenty) nakes a very pretty picture.

J "We believe the farmers of Geor-| ;ia are making a mistake in sellng their mules and horses to agents vho are buying for the warring naions in Europe. Everyone knows hat for several years after a great car mules and horses always are ligher in price than ever. For the tast 1 "? years now mules and horses j lave been steadily advancing in j trice, and the reason for this de- \ nand is the excessive demand fori ivestock. The farmers are not only! elling mules and horses that they ire going to need, but they are sellng them for a little more than half chat they will have to pay for them then they go to buy them back." The above, from the Telfair (Ga.) Enterprise, is sound advice.

Sloan, pastor of the First I Presbyterian church, of Greenville, for a number of years pastor of the A. R. P. church at Troy, has returned from Philadelphia, where he went especially to hear Billy Sunday. His impressions of the revivalist will be found very interesting in the following story from the Greenville News: "I went to Philadelphia last Monday to hear Billy Sunday preach a^id I was disappointed, but I was agreeably disappointed." declared the Rev. Dr. T. W. Sloan in an address at the First Presbyterian church, last night. "Contrary to my expectation, I found him deeply reverent, without the sensationalism which he has been represented as using. In a simple, direct way, bare of the devices of the loud shouting revival, he preached the old, eld story, the plain and pow- . srful message of salvation according to the gospel. 1 had no idea that he was a scholarly man. c ""Billy Sunday uses some language \ that I do not believe St. Paul or Christ would have employed, but ] where is a man altogether without fault? He has no patience with the isms which have grown up in the ^ north. He regards Christian science < as in bold conflict with the gospel and he is hostile to the doctrines of < Universalis and Unitarianism. He believes that Jesus was the Son of God. He believes that the hope of " the world lies in Christianity. He does not smooth his language?his tongue is afire with truth?and when he refers to the devil he says 'the devil' and not 'the spirit of evil' and when he means hell he says 'hell' and not 'hades.' His soul is burning with the desire to save his fellowmen." "All Philadelphia is aroused over Sunday's preaching. Dr. Sloan observed. saying that when he arrived in the city of brotherly love everybody was talking religion and he heard that it was the main topic of conversation even in the saloons, almost one- hundred of which are for sale as a result of Sunday's philippics. In eleven weeks the ex-baseball player evangelist has preached to 2.000,000 people. Forty thousand converts in Philadelphia have been 1 made through the direct appeals of * Sunday himself and as a result of the labors of the churches in conjunction with him, 100.000 converts in ' that city have confessed their faith. . One church has already received an 3 accession of 1,000 members and a single Bible class has been increased i from ."0 to 4 02. j "Sunday has spoken to a larger multitude of people than any other man since .Jesus Christ," declared Dr. Sloan, "and he has effected more conversions in a shorter time than any other man since Christ. He is an nonorea agent ui uuu, an msu u- i ment through which God is saving souls in wonderful number. His revival is no flurry of excitement, but a deep and enduring work." ^ 1 Read Bamberg Herald $1.50 year. TEN WEEKS IN BED-EMI-: NENT PHYSICIANS FAILED : WONDERFUL RECOVERY : I wish to inform you of the great benefit 1 have derived from the use of Swamp-Root. I had been a sufferer for more than twenty years from kidney and liver trouble and was almost constantly treated by the most eminent physicians who could only give me temporary relief. I had been in bed ten weeks when I began the use of Swamp-Root. Inside of twenty four hours I could see that I had been greatly benefited. 1 continued to use Swamp-Root until I had used several bottles when I really felt that < my old trouble was completely cured i and 1 am positive that any person suffering with kidney or liver trouble can be cured by the use of this preparation. 1 am now in the best of health, better than I have been for ten years or more. I do not know how to express myself as strongly as I desire, in favor of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, as I am sure that it saved my life and that my good health is due entirely to this great remedy. I heartily recommend it to every sufferer and am confident they can be benefited as I have been. It is a pleasure for me. gentlemen, to hand you this recommendation. . MRS. H. J. PRICE.
