Yells, Exhorting Church
Members. ,
"Billy" Sunday was more dramatic this
afternoon than he 'has been nt an after
noon service f brYiiahy days. Tlie subject
of his sermon was""Ye Aro My Wit
nesses," and tho evangelist made many
flcrco attacks on church members who
aro falscu witnesses for God. He also an
swered his critics In hla cutting vernac
ular. Among 47 persons who "hit the trail"
this afternoon was an aged woman with
white hair whose dress and appearance
Indicated she camo from a home of re
finement. She Was the first to grasp Sun
day's hand when he called for converts.
Close behind her came a man whose
clothing literally was In rugs. He stood
sobbing before the platform as though
ashamed to look the evangelist lu the
eyes, and It uas soveral seconds until ho
was courageous enough to lift his hand
to receive Sunday's. He did riot do so
until "Billy" had spoken kindly to him
and had stroked his head.
Player whs offered by the Rev, Dr.
Floyd Tomklns, rector of Holy Trinity
ICpJscopal Church, while the secre
taries were obtaining the names of the
converts.
In opening the prayer at the close of
his sermon, Sunday spoke abruptly:
"Well, Jesus, we make a poor stab at
It sometimes, but I do the best 1 can,
so you'll help me, won't you, Lord?"
He prayed only briefly, and In calling
for converts asked If there weren't mem
bers of churchesbf all denominations who
felt they had not been true witnesses for
Christ and wanted to reconsecrate their
lives by "hitting the trail."
"I like to see people stand up and hit
the ball for Jesus Christ." "Billy" said In
opening his sermon. "You stand up, but
you can't hit the ball. You spar well, but
you don't have the punch. I like to see
people who can punch the devil,"
"Tho eves of the ungodly are turned
toward the godly," he said. "In the

WESSON OF PAUL.
"God uses many ways to preach His
sermons. Becauso the bite of the snake
didn't kill Paul, the people believed In
Him, So you see Sod can use even a
snake to preach his Gospel. Scores were
swept Into salvation beoause Paul didn't
die. The Lord doesn't need to have

white neckties and gold-rimmed specta

"The Lord Is not compelled to use
theologians. The Lord Is pot compelled
to use evangelists, He does not have to
use Sunday school teachers. He can
take snakes, sticks and anything; -he
chooses and use them for the advance
ment of His cause."
"Billy" pleaded with chureb. members
to do as God has told them to do. "W
don't need mora of God. He needs more
of us," wss the way the evangelist put It,
"We are not put luto the world to

Chairman Connelly's Re
fusal to Call Finance Com
mittee Delays Start of Im
provement. April Election Possible if Loaders
Heed Public Call Councilman
Dripps Exposes Organization
Trick. ,
Tho Finance Commlttco of City Coun
cils, John P. Connelly Chairman, this
nftemoon betrnyed tho hopes of the peo
ple of Philadelphia.
The Finance Com
m 1 1 1 e a failed to
meet. It failed to
report tho $W,000.)00
rapid transit loan
measure, which has
been In pickle In Its
committee room
Blnca January 7.
This failure means
that Philadelphia's rapid transit pro
gram providing for tho construction of a
comprehensive, system of BUbwnys and
elevated roads has been delayed at least
one year, unless by some chopec tle
committee chnnges Its attitude and acta
prombtly.
This was tho last day on which the Fi
nance Committee could report the tran
sit loan mensure to Councils In order
that nn election of tho people authorizing
the loan could havo been held In March.
It Is -still possible, however, for the Fi
nance Committee to report tho loan
measure so that an election can bo held
in April.
It Is pointed out that with nn April
election Councils could authorize, n start
on transit before the summer recess of
that body.
INACTION DELIBERATE.
It was openly charged this nftcrpoon
by representatives of business and civic
organizations that the inaction of the
Finance. Commlttco was deliberate, and
kthat tho failure of Its chairman, Connel
ly, to can a meeting to net upon me tran
sit loan measure was deliberately done
In order that the transit work would be
thrown Into tho next Administration,
where. It Is the hope of the Republican
Organization, to elect nn Organization
Mayor, and then fo wax fat off city con
tract awards to favored politicians.
John P. 'Connelly Is a member of the
Republican Organization. In campaigns
he is Its mouthpiece. He takes his orders
from State Senator James P. McNIchpl.
who divides the rule of the Republican
Organization with United States Senator
Pcnroso and tho Vares.
PUBLIC DEMAND IGNORED.
Tho demands of the men who elected
them wero Ignored deliberately. In tho
face of a report from tho City Controller,
showing the city's borrowing capacity to
be more than JfO.000,000, the Finance
Committee did not meet.
Galleries thronged with citizens who
havo declared that Philadelphia must and
shall have rapid transit made no optward
Impression on the Organization men
blocking the progress of the city.
Telephone calls and lotters from citi
zens demanding action failed to bring
about the desired action by tho finance
committee In approval of the P),OCO,OO0
loan election.
Members of business men's organiza
tions declared this afternoon that It was
how up to Philadelphia to get behind the
demand of Director Taylor for action on
the transit program with a demonstration
so forceful that eve.i the Organization
controlled Finance Committee would be
moved to net.
A weak, transparent effort to cover up
the deliberate policy of delaying transit
was made In Select Council when Coun
cilman Charles Seger, of the 7th Ward,
Introduced a resolution asking for Infor
mation that has already been given time
and again by Transit Director Taylor.
Two bound volumes, containing the full
story of the transit program, have been
pVlnted by the Director. They have been
