"TOWN IS GOING TO HELL," CRIES "BILLY" SUNDAY Church Members Who "Put Repentant in Icebox", Scored by Evangelist in Stirring Sermon. "Devil Playa in Backyard Whifo You Sit in Pow," Ho Shouts," Urging Charity to All. "Tou sit in your fine homes and see the town going to hell without raising a finger to save It" These cutting words wero only a few of tho caustic remarks "Billy" Sunday hurled nt Indifferent, church members during his sermon in the tabernacle this afternoon. Ho was preach ing on "Pcrsonnl Work" for the third tlmo since ho came here, and never here tofore hns ho boon more severe In his criticism of those who "sit still In their pews whllo the devil plays in the back yard." He urged nctivlty, enthusiasm nnd sin cerity In tho lives of church members, . "You need courage," he said. "It's hard to do personal work, and you enn always count on It that the old devil will be around the corner trying to head you off every tlmo you drive a spike home for Christ's church. "It will surprise you to see many per sons lie to get out of personal worjc That's the devil In them that makes thera try to evade helping us. It's a shame so many persons who want to shine tn buspi ncss, In piofesslonal life and In society' nre In hiding when they are called upon to do something for Jesus Christ NEED OF ENTHUSIA8SI.I "You'll never accomplish anything" worth while for God without enthusi asm," he shouted. "Formality! Is chok ing religion to death. You want to get awake, get allvo for Christ and to keep your friends out of hell." "When a man knocks a base hit nnd drive homo a winning run and breaks tho tie score, you yell like a Comanche inuian anu carry the hero from the field on your shoulders. But when a prodigal sen makes a base hit for God and j nomo run from the hogpen of hell to heaven wo put him In the Ice Lox. It's so foolish. Drop-your dignity nnd be true." Again Sunday asked all to help make Philadelphia a better city. He declared the tabernacle (was erected to ma)to the city purer, soberer and more moral, and insisted thatT'it Is going to' -do this U Christians will come out for the cam paign and help to boost it "After you do your best you'll feei like doing better. I always do, I always want to preach a better sermon, than I have after I stop talking, God expects ou to get busy. The man who lives for himself alone will have the privilege of being mouiner, and perhaps Bote mourner, at his own funeral." He urged Christians to be sympathetic: not with tho sins ot the non-Christian, but with the Individuals. "God hates sin and the devil," he said. "He will not compromise. Have sym pathy with tho girl who Bins, but not with the sin that ruined her. Get down on the ground where the others are and help lift them up. You're not much of a Christian yourself if you sit up on a pedestal and consider yourself above everybody else and watch men and women go to hell." A delegation of clergymen from New ark, N.
