The Truth About Evangelist Sunday.
Editor of the Democratic Watchman.
I trust I may be pardoned for appear-
ing so often in this column, but I can't
calmly permit Billy Sunday to be slander-
ed and traduced as he was in last week’s
issue of the WATCHMAN in a communica-
tion signed Edward L. Powers. I don’t
know Mr. Powers, but his letter leads me
to the belief that he is one of those per-
sons who, knowing absolutely nothing of
the wonderful work being done by Billy
Sunday, feels that he ought to get in his
little knock, particularly as Sunday is not
likely to hear of or notice such commun-
ications.
But Sunday has friends and I am
proud to call myself one of them.
I am at a loss, however, to understand
why Mr. Sunday’s name should be drag-
ged into a discussion starting with a
criticism of Vance McCormick and end
ing with fulsome praise of the National
administration, unless Mr. Powers
thought by so doing the WATCHMAN
readers might be led to believe he knew
something about the subject. Let me say
right here HE DOESN'T.
Any man, preacher or layman, who in
less than 150 towns in the United States,
preaches to over three and a quarter
million people and whose converts in
those same towns number over six hun-
dred thousand is no so-called evangelist,
as Mr. Powers sneeringly suggests. Such
a man is an EVANGELIST in capital
letters, let the uninformed cavil as they
please.
For the benefit of Mr. Powers and
others who are troubled by the money
Mr. Sunday received, I would call atten-
tion to the fact that for six, seven or
eight weeks of the hardest kind of work
any human being performs, Mr. Sunday
receives only the free will contribution
which is taken up on only the last
Sunday of his stay in any town. In other
words Mr. Sunday gets no salary—mere-
ly what people who are amply able or
who have been benefitted by his stay
wish to give—on only one day—and even
part of this money goes toward paying
half the salaries of the other members of
the Sunday party.
Mr. Powers’ ignorance of the Sunday
campaigns is shown by the saying that
Mr. Sunday will probably take $25,000
out of Scranton as a result of three or
four weeks’ work, when campaigns are
not less than six weeks in a city of Scran-
ton’s size and may be seven. I only hope
Mr. Sunday does get $25,000 in Scranton,
for he is worth every cent of it.
The people most interested in the ‘con-
tributions to Mr. Sunday—that is, the
ones who actually give the money—most
generally wish they could give more,
while the ones who do the barking about
the immense (?) sums given are those
who have not given a cent—hence it is
none of their business how much he re-
ceives.
One place in his letter Mr. Powers is
probably correct, where he quotes Mr.
Sunday as saying he would not trade
places with Governor Tener, President
Wilson, King George or Emperor Wil-
liam. Why should he desire to do so?
Mr. Sunday has a passion for winning
souls. Have Tener, Wilson, or the sever-
al Kings, all told, ever converted 100 per-
sons in all'their lives? Mr. Sunday says:
" “I have been a preacher a good many
many years now and I like it. I love it as
I love nothing else. I wouldn’t leave it
for any money, and while I am about it I
believe in preaching so that people can
understand Sunday. This quotation of
Sunday's tells why he wouldn’t change
places with any prince or potentate on
earth and he thoroughly believes “there:
is nothing the world could offer that is
better than the job he now has.” Some
philosopher whose name has escaped me
for the moment, said he “loved the roos-
ter for the crow that is in him and for
the spurs that are on him to back up
that crow.” So do we who know some-
thing about him love Sunday for the
wonderful good he is doing as well as for
the enemies he has made.
Folks who villify and traduce Sunday
are generally to be found in two classes
—those who know nothing about him or
his campaigns, but who wish to appear
very wise and hammer his methods—or
the booze and red light gang whom Sun-
day has been fighting for a score of years
and who have had ample cause to fear
and hate him. As Mr. Powers is presum-
ably a former Bellefonter, I trust he may
be considered in the former classification,
as the lesser.
I know something about Sunday. He
was six weeks in Wheeling. His direct
conversons numbered 8,343, while hun-
dreds more were led to confess Christ
later on as a result of efforts of the Per-
sonal Workers’ organization. I could fill
this whole page telling you of instances
of the permanent good done there and
elsewhere by Sunday and his party, but
1 don’t wish to trespass on your space
further than is necessary to correct an
utterly false and fallacious impression
regarding a man whom I believe, and
many others believe to be the greatest
evangelist the world has seen since St.
Paul—the Rev. William Ashley Sunday,

BOOKS, MAGAZINES, Etc.
The April issue of the Theosophical Path con-
tains several articles of unusual interest not only
to the Theosophical student, but to the general
reader. Inthe opening article H. Travers, M.
A., discusses the question of Reincarnation
which, practically unknown to the Western
world before being taught by Madame Blavatsky,
is now a matter of common discussion. The
writer says: “In the light of Reincarnation no
life can be called a failure, for a life is buta
small section of a great whole. . . . The peri-
od of a single earth-life is too short to display the
pattern of our lives.” ;
“The Changeless Change,” by R. Machell, is a
beautifully written mystical article. “‘A Marvel
of Motherhood,” by Percy Leonard is a fascinat-
ing record of observations on the founding of a
colony of honey ants. The observations began
January 15, 1912, when a captive ant was trans-
ferred to a glass tumbler full of sifted garden
soil, and were kept up daily until September 11
of the same year. Itis a fascinating study in
natural history. ;
The most striking article in the magazine
is again by Kenneth Morris, who writes on “The
Drama in Wales.” C.J. Ryan contributes a fine-
ly illustrated descriptive article on “Bolivia.”
“The Life Within; A Study in Mysticism,” by W.
A. Dunn, is another article of striking interest to
the student and thoughtful reader. The series
of remarkable articles in regard to Count Saint-
Germain, by P. A. M., is concluded in this num-
ber under the heading “Count Saint-Germain in
Madagascar.”
The magazine is beautifully illustrated by a
series of views from different parts of the world:
Japan, Italy, Germany, England, Sweden, and
the United States.
