“You trail because

He told the story of the prodigal
son, but clothed it in such modern
garments that it was almost unrecog-
nizable. At one time, if the truth is
to be told, he sacrificed the emotional
effect he was creating over the big
audience by a very unessential jest.
“This boy went from bad to worse,”
he sald, “and then from worse, he
went to Chicago.”
There was considerable laughter at
this bright remark, but afterward the
punch of the story was done, and the
point of it dulled. Sunday apparently
realized this, for he omitted the re
mark at night.
There was but one disappointment
in the day, so far as Sunday was con-
cerned. This was the size of the night
erowd of men. It was the first Sun.

noon he declared that something was
the matter with Baltimore; that the
