THE WEATHER
There must bo a mistake somewhere.
Hera It Is the SOth of January and we
re having regular winter weather.
Many years ago Nature schemed things'
differently and, although It hardly seems
ballevoble, It was Che natural thing to
associate snow and low temperature and
tho like with the months of December,
January and February. But, as we re
marked, that was many years ago, and It
la somewhat annoylnsr to have a freez
ing: spell Introduced without notice Into
the balmy winter season. It makes one
pause to wonder what Is coming aver
this old world. If this sort of thing
keeps up, the owning of a winter over
,eoat once more may become au fait and
skates and sleighs and the like some
thing more than attlo or cellar decora.

"Billy" Sunday won tho hearts of the
thousands of school children who lilted
the tabernacla this afternoon. He pleaded
with them to live right In a strong sor
mun. At one point "Hilly" shattered ten
statuettes with a sledge hammer, draw
ing a parallel between this act and the
In caking of the Ton Commandments.
He then went on to show his young
hearers how easily they might destroy
the beailtlfu Influences In their lives If
they did not heed ttio teachings of thoso
oId"r nnil wiser than themselves.
Tho children had come expecting to
hear something unusual, and they wcro
not disappointed. Befoie "Billy" hud
been talking live minutes he had earned
Iho eihoing cheers that greeted him as
ho stopped on the platform, Tho thou
sands of bright, eager, little faces wero
turned toward him in astonishment,
countless little mouths ucro open and
sparkling eyes watched his every mo
tion. He has not addressed a more ap
preciative audience In this city.
Many times during tho afternoon the
evangelist caused the children to laugh,
especially when he said:
"You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Tho older people are the harder they are
to teach. You don't see any old men nnd
women playing leap frog they're too
old they'd break their necks."
And here "Billy" gave a demonstration
of "grandpa" trying to play leap frog.
"1 tell you." lie shouted, "youth Is tho
time to learn. That's what you go to
school for."
AN OBJECT LESSON.
Another variation of the afternoon from
Blll)'s" regular program occurred when
ho Invited 4- children to step on the plat
form and receive a flag. Then "Billy"
showed them that these Hags repiesented
earthly kingdoms which could not endure,
there being but ono eternal kingdom
that of God, whose flag Is the cross upon
which Christ was sacrificed.
It was a fine appeal to tho boys and
girls and they responded as only children
can respond, for whey "Billy" Invited
any of them who wished to, to come down
to the platform and shake his hand to
signify their Intention to fight under
Christ's banner, the aisles of the taber
nacle fairly swarmed with eager children.
Bearing the American flag and display
ing enthusiasm, many Boy Scouts in full
regalia Joined In cheering Sunday as he
game to the platform,.
Troop 19, under the command of Scout
master John QeU, and Troop 17, com
manded by It. Q. Lamb, gave the follow
ing Boy Scout yell:
"A-M-B-R-I-C-Al
Boy Scouts, Boy Scouts, U. B. A,
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday."
Many schools joined In with their va
rious yells before Homer A, Ttodeheaver
ascended the platform to direct the sing
ing. Then thousands of young throats
Joined ' In singing the various hyrnns,
while on one occasion the boys whistled
in a manner that's known only to boys
"Yankee Doodle." "My Country. 'Tis of
Thee," and "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Tonight he will preach on "Seek Ye the
Lord," or "Be sure your sins will find
you out."
