That Is what -the ar rival of the Suudny children from Indiana at the Sunday home, 1914 Spring Gar den street, brought to the evangelist's family this morning. Those who enjoy seeing the evangelist smile whllo on the pulpit ought to have been at the North Philadelphia station of the Pennsylvania Railroad when the younger Sundajs were greeted by their parents. "" Contrary to the usual routine, Mr. and Mrs. Sundny arose long before daylight, this morning, and after a hurried break fast wcie taken In an automobile to the North Philadelphia station. They leuched the depot a feu minutes before the arrival of the train. Early commuters and workmen who wero linn j Ins through the station on their way to work recognUed the evan gelist and his wife, and a small crowd gathered to see them greet their children, LAST NIGHT'S 'MEETING. Last night "Billy" repeated his sermon of yesterday afternoon on "The Ten Commandments." It was heard by an uudlence of almost 20.000 persons. I'Iiik and again, as Sunday fired some of his hot vernacular into the multitude, roats of laughter und applause filled the great tabernacle. But the emotion was not all laughter nnd applause, for In this sermon "Billy" got hold of the heartstrings of his au ditors and wrung tears from the eyes of thousands ob he pictured the lives of sinners, who bring so much misery to the homo and their parents or relatives. When ha had scored many good hits at the devil and his cohorts, and extended the Invitation to all who had broken the Commandements and wanted to repent, to come forward, there was a rush for the platform. Assistants to Mr. Sunday and secretaries of the Sunday Campaign Committee were kept busy escorting the "trall-hltterB" to the salvation rows. Arrangements have been made to have members of the Sunday party speak In churches near the "tabernacle for the overflow crowds tomorrow night. These meetings will be held In the Spring Gar den Street Methodist and Baptist Church es, In the Arch Street Methodist and Presbyterian Churches, In the Second United Presbyterian Church and In the Green Street Presbyterian Church.

COM'L UNDERWRITERS 669 Drexel Building: CUT THIS OUT. AS IT JIAY NO? AW'EAB AGAIN rived. As they camo In every one was singing a song not In "Rodcy's" song book. It was a song chosen by the police on duty at the tabernacle. For them Po liceman Weaver had requested, "I've An chored My Soul In Life's Haven of Rest." The building lang with It. With awed yet ringing olcc, as though he called a greeting over the heads of the congiegatlon, tho Rev. Thomas Polr lock, pastor of Oak Park United Presby terian Church, hailed "Tho Holy Pres ence of the Christ" In tho evening's prayer. "Thou Blessed Christ of God," he called, "standing hero In thla great con course; Thou Christ ot Galilee: Thou Saviour of sinners; Thou blessed. King of kings, baptl.e us, each nnd every one here, with tbe lire of tho Holy Ghost." It was a great prayer, an Impressive one. After It the delegations got Into action, They were bigger than on nny other night so far. The United Gas Impiovement Company had hundreds there; so did the Pennsylvania Railroad's freight department. But tho great sensation In the delega tion lino was Snellenburg's. The depart ment store sent many to the meeting. That Snellenburg delegation made a big hit with Sunday himself. Every man and woman was wearing a white carnation. They tossed them all Into the arms of two young men, who brought them up the aisles and laid them at the evangelist's feet. The audience thundered Its ap plause. Sunday almost was smothered In them. Ho put them upon his Bible, on the pulpit, and smiled happily, Later he gave the carnations to Mrs. Sunday. - SPECIAL SABBATH PROGRAM.

To provo Illegality, however, the department admits, Is a difficult task. Tho Inter slate trade must bo Involved.

Nevertheless, Attorney General Greg ory wns determined today to smoke out nny violators. Ills orders to his work ers were tho strictest. Back of them was tho hearty approval of President Wilson.

Of ficials of the Philadelphia Automobile Trade Association, who promoted the 1816 nlTnlr tn the Metropolitan Building, tho exhibitors nnd the visitors, have unani mously voted the 14th annual exhibit the biggest and best ever held, Phlladel phlans may point with pardonable pride to the 1015 show, and say without fear of contradiction that it ranked second to none in this or any other country. The very fact that space was limited to 60 odd exhibit-) and a half dozen or so ncccssory booths meant but one thing that the very best products In tho world would bo selected for tho exhibition. Any ono who haa walked down tho aisles at the show will tell you they have never leen a better vnrlety.
