f SUNDAY'S SERMON TODAY
SUBJECT:
n It Well With ThcoT Is It "Well
With Thy Husband? Is tt Well
With Thy Child?"
"My text Is taken from It Kings, Iv, 26 1
ja t well with thee! In It well with thy
husband! Is It well with thy child?
"You remember tho Prophet Ellsha and
Ills Journey to the school of prophets up
to Mount Carmel. Thoro was a woman
who noticed thd actions and conduct of
the man of God and she said to her hus
band, 'Let us build a little room and
place therein a bed, and bowl and pitch
er that he might make It his home,'
"Tho suirsostlon evidently met with the
approval of tho husband, because ever
afterward tho man of God enjoyed this
hospitality. I sometimes thought she
might navo oeen a now woman or mo
olden times, because no mention Is made
of the husband.
"You never hear of some old lobstora
unless they aro fortunate enough to
marry1 a woman who docs things and
their namo Is nlways mentioned In con
nection with what tho wife does.
"If you will Just lay aside your preju
dice, you llttlo frizzy-headed sissies, I will
help you bo you won't make the mlstako
your ma made.
"You know there are homes In which
the advent of one, two and possibly three
children fs considered a curso Instead of
a blessing. God, In His providence, has
often denied tho honor of maternity to
some women, iiui) mere are married
women who shrank from maternity, not
because of ill health, but simply because
they love case, because thoy love fine
irarments and ability to flit llko a but
terfly at some social function.

I from their own vlleness rather than con
t Jemn themselves for tho way thoy are
living. They suy tho man who Is preach-
lag against It Is so vulgar, rather than
the one who did It was stinking and vllo.
"I want to ten you women that I have
never delivered this sormon In any town
or any place where I have been without
feeling embarrassed, but It has to bo

R you think you won't llko what I say you

FAULT OF SOCIETY.
"Society has Just about put maternity
out of fashion. When you stop to con
sider tho average society woman I do not
think maternity has lost anything. The
humbler children aro raised by their
mothers Instead of being turned over to
a governess.

actuated by love, but simply willing to
pay tho prlco of wifehood to wear fine
clothes. They are not moved by the
noble desires of manhood or womanhood.
"Some girls marry for novelty and some
jirls marry' fdr'a home. Some fool moth
ers encourage girls to marry for ease so
they can go to the matlneo and buzz
around. Some fool girls marry for monoy
and some girls marry for society because
by connecting their name with a certain
family's they go up a rung In tho social
ladder, and somo girls marry a young
buck to reform him and thev aro tho hls-
f gest fools In tho bunch, because he would
not marry you to rerorm you.
"You mothers aro worso fools to en
courage your daughter to marry some
old lobster because his father has monoy
and when he dies, maybe your daughter
can hay good clothes and ride in an
auto Instead pf hob-hoofing It.
"Look at the girls on tho auction block
today. Look at the awful battle the
average, stenographer and average clerk
have to fight. You cannot work for $8 a
fteek and near fine duda and be on the
square as much as you aro without hav
ing the people suspicious.
"In a letter tn MisR Tlrtrnn TinaMAif
K Roosevelt said: 'The man or woman who
avoids marriage and has a heart so cold
s 10 Know no passion and a brain so
shallow as to dislike having children Is,
In fact, a criminal.'
APPEALS TO MOTHERS.
"As a mother, Is It well with thee?
Are you pure or aro you guilty? I havo
seen qid, wrinkled hands go around the
neck of the firstborn and a kiss planted
Bupon It, and I believe that a child be
gotten of holy love and brought forth

children will no more bo lost than the

becoming a matinee-gadder and fudge
eater. "I wish I could make a girl that flirt
see herself as others see her. If you
make eyes at a man on tho street he will
pay you back. ItMoesn't mean that you
are pretty. It means that If you don't
care any more for yourself than that,
why should he? The average man will
take a girl at her personal estimate of
herself,
"It takes a whole lot of nerv6 for a
leuow to look a girl In the face and
eav, 'Will you be my wife and partner,
and help me fight tho battle during life?'
but I think It means a whole lot more
to the girl who has to answer and fight
that question. But tho fool girl loafs
around and waits to bo chosen and takes
Jbf first chance she gots and seems to
think that If t'ney are made one, tho laws
ut man can make them two again.
'The dlvorco laws aro damnable. Amer
ica is first In many things that I love,
but thore are many things that are a
disgrace. We lead the world In crime!
lead tho world In dlvorco we of our
culture
"Many a girl has found out after sho
is married that It would havo been a
good deal easier to dlo an old maid
than to havo said 'yes,' and become
the wlfo of somo cigarette-smoking cuss
ing, damnable libertine. They will
launch tho matrimonial boat and put
tho oars In nnd try it once for luck,
anyway, and bo we havo many women
praying for unconverted husbands.
"I preached llko this in a town onco
and the next day I hoard of about five
engagements that were broken. I can
give you advice now, but if the knot is
ilea, tno tiling Is dono.
"I am a Roman Cathollo on dlvorco.
Thcro are a whole lot of things worse
than living nnd dying an old maid and
one of thorn Is marrying the wrong
man. So don't bo one to do that. Tho
trouble with tho avcrago American girl
Is she holds herself loo cheap. Sho
Is Just scared to death of bolng what
tho world Irrelevantly calls nn 'old
maid.'
LOVB NOBLEST GIFT.
"Now, girls, don't simper nnd look silly
when you speak about love. Thoro Is
nothing silly about it, although some
folks are silly because thoy nro In lov.
Love is tho noblest and purest gift of
God to man nnd womankind. Don't let
your notions advortlso 'Man Wanted,
Quick.' That is about tho surest way
not to get a man. You might get a thing
with breeches on, but ho Is no man.
"Many a woman is an old maid bo
causo she wanted to do her share, of
tho courting. Don't got excited and
want to hurry things along. If a man
begins to net as though ho Is after you,
the surest way to got him Is Just to
make him feel you don't want him, un
less you drive him off by appearing too
indifferent.
"And, girls, don't worry If you think
you are not going to get a chance to
marry. Some of the noblest men In tho
world have been bachelors and some of
tho noblest womon old maids. And wom
an, for God's sake, when you do get
married don't transfer tho love God gavo
you to bestow on a llttlev child onto a
Spitz dog or brlndlo pup.
"All great women are satisfied with
their common sphere In life and thinks to
fill tho spot God gives them In this world
as It should be filled aa a wife and
mother. I tell you the devil and women
can damn this world and Jesus and
women can save this old world. It re
mains with womanhood today to lift our
social life to a higher plane.
"Mothers, bo moro careful of your boys
and girls. Explain these ovlls that con
taminate our social life today. I have
had women say to me, 'Mr. Sunday,
don't you think there Is danger of talk
ing too much to them when they are
so young?" Not much; Just, as soon as
a girl Is able to know the pure from
the Impure she should bo taught. Oh,
mothors, mothers, you don't know what
your girl Is being led to by this fals
and mock 'modesty.
"Just think, what a grand thing It must
be, mothers, to look back on a clean,
godly life and, to have good, upright,
godly children. I wish my daughter
Helen was here. I have Bat and preached
this sermon with her sitting on the front
seat. I would thank anybody that would
tell her theso things.
"Thoro aro a lot of you women sitting
right out thero whoso temperature has
run up seven degrees Just since I havo
been preaching.
MARRIAGE NOT THE ONLY THING.
"Don't teach your girls that the only
thing In the world Is to marry. Why,
some girls marry infidels because they
were not taught to say 'I would not do
It.' A girl Is a big fool to marry an In
fidel. God says, 'Bo ye not unequally
yoked wjth unbelievers.'
"It has simply come to this that some
body has to preach plainly, and that
somebody seems to bo me
"Since tho world began woman Is tho
one that man sought after. He will work
for you, labor he will dlo for you; but,
girls, when you come down from the ped
estal and make yourself easy of conquest,
I don't blame the average man.
"I believe thero Is o. race yet to ap
pear which will ba as far superior In
morals to us as we aro superior to the
morals in the days of Julius Caesar, but
that race will never appear until God
fearing young men marry God-fearing
cirls and the offspring are God-fearing.
"Culture will never save the world, If
these miserable human vampires wh: feed
and fatten upon the virtue of wommpViood
can get off with Impunity; nay, more, to
be feasted and petted and coddled by so
ciety, we might as well back-pedal out
nnd sink In shame, for we can never see
to the heights nor command the respect
of the great and good.
"What paved the way for tho downfall
of tho mightiest dynasty proud and
doughty Greece and Imperial noma? The
downfall of their womanhood. The virtue
of womanhood Is the rampart wall of
American civilization. Break that down
and with the stones thereof you can pave
your way to the hottest hell and reeking
vice and corruption. I tell you society
that makes a distinction between the man
who does wrong and the girl when she
does wrong Is beneath my notice. I would
not spt on It. xou Know mere are a
multitude of places right here in this
community that are vile.

SUNDAY ATTACKS
SINS OF WOMEN
Continued from rose One
was made, distributing convert cards to
all who would accept them.
"Billy" would have preached a third
sermon this afternoon but for tho fact
that thousands of women decided not to
wait on tho outsido of tho tabernacle
while ho preached to the great audlenco
that completely filled It. As it was, there
were possibly 2000 of thorn waiting when
tho second groat congregation started
home. Ho had planned to give the same
sermon thrlco during the day, but, when
he found tho watting crowd was no largor
ho decided not to preach tho third time.
The samo Bermon is to be given tonight,
when admission will be by ticket only
and business women will attend In dele
gations. There probably never was such an ex
cited scene at a religious meeting as that
witnessed In the great building when the
first audience had been dismissed and
the waiting thousands rushed lnsldo for
seats. It took 19 minutes to empty the
building, but It took only four minutes
to refill it. There were more than 10,000
outaldo when the doors were opened, and
ushers and policemen who' had returned
to preserve order during the emptying
and renlllng oc tno structure, alter re
maining outside while the evangelist
preached, were literally carried off their
feet. Even "Ma" Sunday, wife of the
preacher, had her satin dress badly torn
in the mad riot.
MAD BUSH FOR SEATS.
A second after tho doors were opened
the sawdust In the aisles was flying In
the air from the stampede of tho thou
sands of women's feet. Hats were
knocked off and trampled upon, hairpins
fell out and hair went flying about and
became mixed with sawdust and shav
ings. But nothing could stop the mad
race for places on the benches. Police
men and ushers yelled with all the
strength of their lungs. They rushed In
front of the torrent of women and girls.
They held out their arms and tried to
hold tho Invaders back. But all their ef
forts were In vain.
Jumping to the top of the benches tho
thousands passed forward to the front
rows. They stepped from the back of
one bench to another. Sometimes they
tumbled off and rolled In the sawdust,
while others took their places and hur
ried on to the places of their hearts' de
Blre. And, as though by miracle, no per
son waB Injured. Only a few fainted or
suffered bruises.
During the services IS women were
treated In the emergency hospital. There
were several women physicians In
charge. Mrs. Joseph M. Steele, chair

was besieged by throngs of women as

moro did not faint or recclvo Injuries.
At inch scrvlco there were 12o trained
nurses In attendance The samo numbor
will ho present tonight, when Sunday re
peats the sermon.
HEREDITY GREAT FORCE.
"Billy" ronsscrted his absolute belief
In prenatal Influenco, and the power
which a prospective mother's thoughts
and notions exorcised ovor tho life of
hor child.
"I know of ono llttlo boy," said ho,
"who at tho tender ago of 9 yoars had
tried nlno tlmos to kill hlmsolf. His
mother wont to her physlclnn nnd beg
ged him on hor knees to tell her what
sho could do for him.
" 'Tho child's abnormal,' said tho
doctor, 'and you aro responsible. I can
toll it from tho blush that's mantling
your brow now. You didn't want him
nnd you tried to kill him before he was
born.'
"Tho boy," continued "Billy," his volco
trembling with emotion, "did kill hlm
solf nt the tender ago of 11. That mother
committed murder."
Declaring that 80 por cent, of marriage
able men today aro contaminated by dis
ease, and that 00 por cent, of tho abdom
inal operations performed on womon are
due to this cause Sunday caused the
eyes of his fomlnlne listeners to grow
wido with horror as ho launched hlB vig
orous plea for them to use care nnd cau
tion In the selection of their husbands,
"NInotv per cent, of tho cases of blind
ness aro due to this ovll," he told them.
"Oh, Tny friends, you mothers are worso
fools to encourage your daughters to
marry somo old lobster because, his father
his monoy nnd because you think that
whom he dies she can havo lino clothes
and rido in an auto Instead of hoofing It.
Somo girls marry a young buck to reform
him. Tho fools I Ho wouldn't marry them
10 rerorm tneni."
Mr. Sunday charged tho women to re
member that ho spoke to them not as a
man, but first of all as a mlnster of the
Gospel. When ho had finished there
wasn't a dry eyo In the placo.
He charged that society has Just about
put maternity out of fashion. He ox
corlated. In vitriolic words, the women
who refused to believe that giving birth
to a child wns tho noblest function which
woman could perform.
APPEALS FOR MOTHERHOOD.
"I am sure thoro Is not nn angel in
heaven," he said, "who would not bo
glad to come to earth and be honored
with motherhood lf God would grant her
that privilege."
It wns a wonderful audience that drank
In his words. Old women nnd young
women, gray-halrod grandmothers and
the "frizzy haired, bleached blond sls
bIos" equally came In for "Billy's" warn
ings, and If thcro wero any women pres
ent not cognizant of the p..,Tld sins of
society when they came It waB not long
before Sunday had convinced them of
the reality of thlngB.
"I hope to see tho time," he sliouted,
"when sexual hygiene Will be a part of
the public school curriculum, and I'd
rather have my children take this sub
ject than the Greek and Latin now
crammed down their throats."
Fortified by a maBs of statistics, "Billy"
raced up and down the platform and
poured forth a volley of vituperation on
the 'neads of those doctors and mldwlves
"who have made malpractice, the crime
of crimes In America."
"Statistics which I have gnthered from
the palatial apartment houses In big
cities where a man has got to make a
fat salary Just to pay his rent show
that to 70 families there were only seven
babies," said Sunday. "In another In
stance thero wero SO families and only
two babies. Down In the slums, how
ever, you will And ns many as 200 babies
to 50 families. I've come to the conclu
sion that the stork Is a mighty discrimi
nating bird."
Long before Sunday started to preach
his first sermon of the several to be de
livered during the day for women only,
there waB a crowd clamoring for admit

tance to tho tabernacle Tho policemen,
ushers and every other man wero nBked
to leave tho structuro before ho started
to speak.
Women began to assemble nt tho taber
nacle boforo daybreak In order to got
Inside to hear the famous sermon Some
of them wero thero beforo C o'clock,
and after that hour there wns a stream
of them pouring Into the big wooden
building. By 8 o'clock thcro was an nu
dlcnco of more than 1000 women present.
The anxloiiB listeners came from every
section of tho city and Journeyed hero
from towns many miles distant. Hundreds
of them rushed to tho tabernacle as soon
ns their hUBbands had started for tnelv
day's work. Breakfast dishes were
"stacked" and tho week-end sweeping
nnd house cleaning was postponed Tho
women wero bound to hear "Billy"
preach some tlmo during the day and
tney started early because they wanted
to make suro that they would get In
side. OLD WOMEN COME EARLY
The first woman to arrive was 84 years
old. Sho was Mrs Susan A. Johnson, of
3C1C Chestnut street, a widow for 43
years, Mrs. Johnson said sho was so
interested In "Billy" and hla preaching
that ehe camo very early In order that she
might be suro to get a seat Another
early arrival was Miss M. M. Stevens, of
New York, who Is visiting with friends
at 2107 North 13th street. Sho Is 75
oars old.
TonlgHt, when admission will be by
ticket only, business women are to at
tend In delegations.
Many of tho women took their bnblcs
with them to tho tabernacle, who wore
cared for bj scores of nurses In the
nursery.
"IS IT WELL, WITH THEE."
The sermon of the day was on tho
toxt, "Is It well with thee; Is It well
with thy husband; Is It well with thy
children?" The words of tho text were
taken from tho 26th verso of tho 4th
chapter of Second Kings.
Women who have failed to become
mothers because of their desire for ease
and pleasure camo In for sound rebuke.
It was a plain talk nnd ono that appealed
for tho highest principles of womanhood.
In his appoal for motherhood, Sunday
said:
"You know that thero aro homes In
which the advent of one, two and pos
sibly throe children Is considered a curse
instead of a blesslrg. Sod has often do
.ilcd tho blessing of maternity to some
women. But there aro married women
who shrink from maternity, not because
..f 111 health, but simply because thoy love
fine garments and want to flit llko a.
butterfly nt some social function.
PLEADS FOR CHILDHOOD.
"Climes have been and aro being com
mitted; hands aro stained with blood and
that every crlmo has made France the
charnel house of the world. In America,
wo of our boasted Intelligence and
weulth, we are fast approaching tho
samo doom, until or unless It behooves
somebody with grit and courage to
preach against tho prevailing sins and
run the risk of Incurring tho displeasure
of people who divert public attention
from their own vlleness rather than con
demn themselves for tho way they are
living. They say tho man who Is preach
ing against It Is so vulgar, rather than
the one who did It was stinking and vile.
"I want to tell you women that I havo
never delivered this sermon In any town
or any place where I have been without
feeling embarrassed, but It has to be
done, nnd I will tell you right now If
you think you won't like what I say you
can go now, or else keep your mouth
shut when you get out of here.
"I am sure there Is not an nngel In
heaven that would not be glad to come to
earth and be honored with motherhood If
God would grant her that privilege. What
a grand thing It must be. at tho end of

MATERNITY OUT OF STYLE,
"Society has Just about put maternity
out of fashion. When you stop to con
sider the average society woman I do not
think maternity has lost anything. The
humbler children are raised by their
mothers Instead of being turned over to
a governess.
"Thero are too many girls who marry
for other causes than lovo. I think ambi
tion, Indulgence and laziness lead more
girls to the altar than love; girls not
aotuated by love, but simply willing to
pay the price of wifehood to wear fine
clothes. They are not moved by the
noble desires of manhood or womanhood.
"Some girls marry for novelty and some
girls marry for a home. Some fool moth
ers encourage girls to marry for ease so
they can go to the matinee and buzz
around. Some fool girls marry for money
and some girls marry for society because
by connecting their name with a certain
family's they go up a rung In the social
ladder, and some girls marry a young
buck to reform hlro and they are the
biggest fool3 In the bunch, because ha
would not marry you to reform you
"You mothers are worse fools to en
courage your daughter to marry some
old lobster because his father has money
and when he dies majbe your daughter
can have good clothes and ride In an
auto Instead of hob-hoofing It.
"Look at the girls on the auction block
today Look at the awful battle the
i average stenographed and average clerk
week and wear line duds and ba on the
square as much as you are without hav
ing the people suspicious."
Tho evangelist, following this plea for
motherhood, made an earnest appeal for
women to lead their husbands away from
the sins and evils of the world into
Christian lives He declared that they
could make their homes such delightful
place and. through their devoted love
and kindness, make th men they have
chosen aa their halo-mates prefer ihelr
company and the company pf their ch4- '

has gone wrong because his wife has not

also appealed to them to live so that
tholr children would never go wrong by
following their example.
"PITY" FOR DOG COSTS $12.50

household. McCabo turned It out and to

The story ot the evolution of the
Bible Is as interesting as the tale of
the creation of the stars. The Bible
grew as the Jewish people devel
oped, each booklet ot it being the
bright light from a crowning period
in that national history.
Yet, to give the Bible authority
qver all our beliefs is to enslave the
mind to the superstition and bigotry
ot the past. We should rather trust
the eager present. Our confidence
should be given to what satisfies our
minds today. What inspires us to
day la God's word to Ills living
children.
Parts of the Bible still possess
this living power, How shall we
pick them out?
The Higher Crltlolsm elves the
answer. If you are interested, come
and hear the lecture bv Rev. Phnri.
