William P. Mooncy Tells
How the Evangelist's
Message Has Changed
His Mode of Life.
By WILLIAM P. MOONEY
CA Bill 8unday Convert)
It was booze that sot me. Of course,
there were lots of other things, loo, but
there wasn't a one of them that didn't
originate In that damnable drink.
Look al me! My clothes alt ragged, my
face Uhshaved and my hands shaking as
though I had the ague. Thai's -what
booze, .has done for me. And then there's
my Wife. No decent clothes to wear, not
enough (o cat and working like a dog for
what she does get, and all because I
can't ge't work nobody will give work
to a man that's alt shot to pieces with
booze.
I wn born In Poughkecpsle, N, T.r and
I had as fine a father and mother as you
over saw. They wero good, God-fearing
people, and they did everything they
could to bring 'mo up 'the samo way, I
had a good education;, and then I started
In working In the Iron works and getting
good money, too. . ,
I was getting along In great shape, ana
then I fell In with" a" bunch of "mucks,"
as we used to call them. I'll never for
get the tlmo they got mo to tako my first
drink. It waB down In a little booze
Joint by the Hudson, where all the wharf
rats hung out, and that bunch took mo
down there to show me a good time.
DIDN'T WANT TO DRINK, BUT
I didn't want to drink, but the whole
bunch of them stood nround laughing and
jeering: nt me until finally I took a drink
of whisky to show them I could. Then
they made me drlftk another, and, al
though I hated the stuff, they kept on
nagging me until I was finally down and
out, raving drunk, and the barkeep threw
me out Into the gutter.
That was the beginning of the end.
Those fellows Just kept right after me.
and It wasn't long before I was as bad
as any of them. My 'father used to plead
with me to cut It out and my mother
would pray for' me, God bless her! but
it wasn't any, use., I didn't core. I told
them I wag my own boss nnd I would
do as I d pleased; and I did, too.
Of course,- I 'lost my Job. I couldn't
keep up acting that w'ay and be any good
to anybody. Then I started roaming
around. I got up to a little Joint near
Syracuse, where1 the American Bridge
Company was dolngr some work, and as
X h&dn't had any money to buy booze
HUth for several claje, I was sober and I
got a Job.
I worked until X BPt JIM.' and then I
went on a tear; ahd, 'that's th'e way It
has been most Of the" time since then
working until I got a little monpy and
then quitting and' getting crazy driink and
doing everything a man could 'do "to dis
crace himself and his father and mother.
WIFE- HOPED TO REFORM HIM.
Oh, yes; got married. That's the way
with a, fellow-like that he'd Just as soon
drag some girl down with him aa not.
ify wife married me to reform me, I
ffuess. God knows what other reason she
could have had. And then my mother
died no use telling you why. she went
to an early grave and my father followed
her about five years later.
Well, that gives you some Idea as to
what I've been, I haven't had a decent
thought until last week, when I happened
to drift In here to listen to "Billy" Sun
day. I expected he would hand out a
bunch of bunk, but I was wrong. I came
again Friday and, say, when ho was
talking-' about those Ten Commandments
It seemed as though he knew I was there
and was speaking; every word right at me.
There lsri't a one hardly that I haven't
broken l( you make them mean what he
says they mean.
"Honor thy" father and thy mother!"
When he was talking about that I was
thinking" about -how I had honored MY
father and MY mother. It seemed as
though It would kill me. Oh, If It wasn't
only too late' and I could tell them how
sorry I am rintf how I'm going to start
all over again!
Then what ha said about there being
more than ohe' tfay of killing. About kill
ing your wife slowly and torturing her
with the rotten life you lead. He knew
what he was- talking about, all right, and
maybe It lsn'tr too- late. I'jn going to show
cer mat nero la something left In me
yet, and I'm going-to atlck to It, too.
If it's true that God will hear me If I
say "God. b merciful to me, a sinner,"-1
uesa there's some chance left for me
afterward, too. Jor from now on, believe
me, I'm a.Chrlsdan. Maybe I can show
my wife that there Is a little manhood
left In me yet and maybe you can honor
your father and mother even after they
are dead and burled. Do you think soT

AN INVERTED SAWDUST TRAIL
It Leads to Place for Which Mr. Sun
day Has Short and Ugly Name.
"Whaddeyoumcan, hit the sawdust
trail?"
Business of whispering, followed by
open-mouthed surprise and a smacking of
lips.
"Sure! What's yours?"
All of which means that a "sawdust
trail" leads to an oasis In the desert of
Walnut street.
Believing In the axiom that "It pays
to advertise," the proprietor of the New
Casino Cafe, next to the Casino Theatre,,
on Walnut above 8th strCet, has Adopted
the "Billy" Sunday trail Idea, and Is
making It pay.
As one approaches the saloon from east
or west converging paths of sawdust lend
from the curb to the cafe door. "Hit the
sawdust trail," In huge letters beckon
In the unconverted. Inside white-coated
men await the visitor.

During the course of his talk he said:
"The last standard of religious truth is
right, reason and conscience and not a
book or a church. "Vrhls Is not disparag
ing Bibles or the church. Whenever a
church or a book tells me not to ask ques

church or book. It bids me stop growing,
I do not believe God will ask us to defile
and retard our development and growth."

A
BILLY SUNDAY GAVE
UP $500 A MONTH
JOB TO SERVE GOD
Investigation of Newspaper
Reports Shows How the
Evangelist Left Baseball
Job for Religion.
Pittsburgh handed tho Phillies a
"lemon" when they sold them "Billy"
Sunday. At least that was the consensus
of opinion amongst h- two National
League baseball teams Just after the
Phllllxs had traded two ntajers In the
middle of August to get "Billy" for their
team, only to learn that at the close
of tho season he Intended to give up
baseball to enter Into religious work.
The Pittsburgh team was as far down
In the list of "down-and-oulers" as a
baseball team could possibly be and still
be called a team. The team owed tht
landlord rent nnd It was rumored that
the players were longing for bacon and
beans besides plain baseball glory,
"Billy" Sunday was their one redeeming
asset. They put "Billy" up for sale.
TEAM'S HOPES VANISH.
The Phillies hnd never won the Na
tional League championship, but In 1E00
they thought they had a chance and
tho city was baseball-mad. Tho team
had won 10 straight games. The crowds
wore coming fast. The team hnd money.
But something happened, tho team
slowed up, and nil lis hopes vanished.
Brooklyn went nhead of the Phillies hi
tho race, and Boston pushed them back
Into third place. Something had to be
done, so the Phillies bought "Billy."
"Prom Pittsburgh camo the report that
tho Phillies have offered to exchango
Burko and Day for Sunday," tho Pum.tc
LEDaun said on August 9, 1S90. "It Is to
bo hoped that the deal will go through,
as Sunday would greatly strengthen the
home team."
The fans took courage. Two weeks later
the deal went through. The fans were
happy and Sunday was said to be happy.
"He1 has always been anxious to play In
Philadelphia and Is glad to got away from
the Pittsburgh team," the papers said,
"he will probably move his family here In
the fall, and make this city his home In
the future. Sunday will play his first-
game with tho Phillies today. Hamilton
will now have to hustle to maintain hla
reputation as the Phillies' best base
runner."
The fans gave Sunday a warm reception,
but the next day a gloom went through
the crowd. A Western paper had said
that "Billy" Sunday would not play ball
the next year because ho had accepted the
assistant secretaryship of the Chicago
Young Men's Christian Association.
LOCAL ROOTERS INDIGNANT.
The fans charged that the Pittsburgh
management had played a trick on the
(Philadelphia management nnd tho Pitts
burgh dispatches added to the indignation
of the local rooters.
In tho first place, cx-Presldent Nlmlck,
of the Pittsburgh Club, said, "It Is a fact
that 'Billy' Sunday Is going to leave tho
diamond at tho close of the season to be
come the secrotnry of the Chicago Y, M.
C. A. In tho next place, the people of
Philadelphia understood this and they are
willing to trade- Pitcher Day and Out
fielder Burko and pay a bonus of $1000 for
Sunday's release. Tho Pittsburgh team
cannot better Itself this season, and next
season Sunday will be out of It anyhow.
The Philadelphia people have large-sized
championship bees In their bonnets, and
they thought It worth while to pay -what
they did to havo Sunday finish out tho
championship senson with them."
Secretary Rogers, of the Phallllcs, men
cheered the fans by saying. In an Inter
view in the Public Ledoek of August 17,
1850, that ho did not think that there was
any chance that Sunday would give up
baseball because he had a contract with
tho Phillies for the rest of the season with
the option for the Phillies to renew It for
the three successive seasons. There was
somo trouble about closing the Sunday
deal because Burke and Day held out for
more salary before they would sign with
Pittsburgh, and even with the danger that
Sunday would gle up the game the
Phillies offered to Increase the bonus they
had offered for his release to 11500 In case
Day and Burke would not sign.
It was presumed that It Sunday was to
be secretary of the Chicago Y. M. C. A.
his duties would be so arranged as not
to conflict with his work on the Phila
delphia team, and when the question of
a proposed decrease In salaries for the
players during the following season was
brought up It was agreed that Sunday
was to be kept at his high salary.
Later It was said that Sunday was
going to quit the game and that In the
several months that had passed between
the time that the rumor began and the
time that Sunday signed with the Phil
lies Sunday might have changed hla mind.
RELEASED AT LAST.
When Sunday had Anally mads up his
mind that he was going to quit, he ap
pealed, to the Phillies for his release. It
Is said that "Billy" prayed hard while
the deal was pending that the Phillies
would release him from his contract. The
Phillies finally granted his request.
As soon as he was released by tho Phil
llffl, it Is said, the manager of the Cin
cinnati team offered him $W0 a month
to' Join hla team. But "Billy" waa
through with the game, and It was a re
ligious Job at 183,33 that appealed to him.
And herewith begins hla marvelous career
as an evangelist.
MUSICAL COMEDY SING IT, WHISTLE IT,
SUNDAY SCORES
GREATEST VICTORY
OYER THE DEVIL
Evangelist Brings 1 184 Per
sons to Christ in Day of
Three Sermons Thrilled
With Enthusiasm.
"Billy' Sunday scored the greatest suc
ceis of his revival campaign In this clly
yesterday, when he brought 1154 persons
to "glory row" to acknowledge their be
lief In Christ as their personal Savior be
fore the thousands Beateil In the taber
nacle, It was n desperate battle which the
evangelist waged against sin and vice yes
terday, a hand-to-hand struggle with the
devil, which lasted more than three and
a half hours with onlv two short Intermis
sions during which the tabernacle was
emptied and rapidly filled again with
eager thousands who for hours had stood
patiently waiting In the rnln to gain adj.
mission to the building.
When It waa over "Billy" waa alniusi
exhausted. His voice was almost gone, ho
was collarless and coatloss.
He was literally dripping from head to
foot with perspiration, but he had won a
great victory and was radiant with the
happiness of one who had achieved his
heart's desire.
The evangelist's morning sermon on the
text, "Lord, Is It I?" had been delivered
by him on Saturday night, and there waa
little surprise when 15" converts "hit the
sawdust trail" in response to the powerful
sermon, but the afternoon and evening
sermons on "Chickens Come Homo to
Roost" proved to be a surprise to every
cne of the 4C,000 persons who heard it.
From the text It was expected that
"Billy" had reserved a humorous sermon
for his "men only" audience, but It proved
to be ono of the most gripping sermons
on sin that has over been heard In this
city. That It wap effective was pioved
by the 561 converts won in the afternoon
and the 476 who answered the cnll at the
evening service.
CONVERTS COME EAGERLY.
The converts were not "down-nnd-out-ers"
jeslerday. Theie were men, and
during the first service women, who wero
willing to undergo a drenching In the
rain to give "Billy" a chanco to fight for
their souls. There were )oung men, clean
cut and unafraid, middle-aged men, their
faces lined with an Intimate knowledge
of the vices which the evangelist was
scoring, and there weie old men eager
to seek atonement before It should be
too late; all of them willing and anxious
to say with the evangelist, "Lord, be
merciful to me, a sinner."
"You see how the devil fight," Mr. Sun
day said as he entered the tabernacle
shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday. "He
brings down a pouring rain and tries to
keep the people from coming here, but
look at them!"
The building was already filled and
hundreds who had come only a half hour
before the scheduled time, thinking that
tho rain would keep the crowds away,
were unable to enter the tabernacle. Mr.
Sundnv began a few mlnutea after his
arrival.
The thrones outside the tabernacle In
creased steadily until more than 10,000 per
sons, most of them with umbrellas, but
many without any protection from the
rain, were ready to stream Into the build
ing at the close of the service.
At the afternoon, as at the morning
service, large crowds who were unable to
enter the tabernacle remained outside,
disappointed, In an attempt to catch a
word or two coming from the platform of
the tabernacle. Sunday scored every vice
known to mankind and brought the truth
of his message home to his audience with
an emphasis hardly ever before revealed
by the evangelist.
"If I knew absolutely that there was
no futuie life, no heaven, no God, then
I would continue to live the life I am
living now for the blessings that come
to me," he cried. "If I knew death would
would end It all I would not change one
lota In my way of living."
AUDIENCE ASTONISHED.
And then he warmed up to his subject
and "lit Into the devil," as one convert
put It, until his audience was gasping
with astonishment and excitement. "Bil
ly" brought his sermon to a close with a
story of a race between the Chicago,
Burlington and Qulncy Railroad and the
Northwestern to obtain a J7.000.000 United
States mall contract, a race In which he
had figured prominently as a fireman on
the Burlington train.
The Northwestern train was on time,
the Burlington road 49 .minutes behind.
"Put her In on time or put her In tht
ditch!" waB the order given the Burling
ton's engineer. The thrpttle was opened
and the great monster leaped Into the
night "hitting 60 almost before she hU
left the yards." She plunged through a
blinding snow storm, the engineer tense
at the throttle, "Billy" firing the engine
until his back seemed to break.
With the vividness that only Sunday
can put Into a story, "Billy" continued the
tale, describing aaoh thrilling detail of
the nerve-racking race, bringing It to a
climax when he shouted, "But but we
brought her In two minutes ahead of
tlmel And the Chicago, Burlington and
Qulncy pulW the fastest mall today,"
DRAWS PARALLEL.
He leaped to the pulpit and drew a
parallel between his story and the lives
of men who are staggering to hell In
stead ot fighting a winning race toward
Heaven, how they are damning their chil
dren and their children's children by the
live they lead. And then hIssued the
call for converts ,,,.,
"You cannot escape the hand of aod,'
he shouted. "Corns on. Who will come
up here nnd win the race to Heaven?
Who will take tho aland for JesUs?"
And then they cam frorrt every nee
tlon of the great bulMIng lhy swarmed
down the sawdust trail to gras"p the hand
of the evangelist and take their plac In
"glory row," winning the race against
sin by the "two-minute margin."
