BOSTON PASTOR SAYS
i SUNDAY WELL RAISE
STORM IN THAT CITY
Rev. Mr. Campbell For sees
the Evangelist Breaking
Up Conventionalism and
Driving uut r aaaists
and Rationalists.
By THE REV. J. L. CAMPBELI,
nev. Mr, Campbctt h pastor of the First
Banttst Church, of Cambridge, Mass. lie
was head of the delegation of ministers
from Boston who come to Philadelphia to
(nvlte Mr. Sunda) to conduct a revival
ranxnalgn there. lie has rcincitncrt In this
cltuaso 0 f "10 licv- Dr' John t,or"
ion, TU North 18th street.
As one of tlio delegation coming from
Boston It lias been with the keenest In
terest that l,ftV0 attended the services
at the "Billy" Sunday tabernaclo In Phil
adelphia. For over a year tho question of
Ms coming to our city has been agitated,
wid this fact in Itself has mado our
newspapers alive to all Information that
could bo gnthorod about tho evangelist
and his methods.
v Mr. Sunday's nomo has become a house
hold word throughout Now England and
there has been a remarkable Increase of
unanimity among evangetlcal Christians
In his favor. Ills nlleged antics In tho
tulplt. however, nnd tho slang with which
his speech was said to bo punctuated and
tho violence of his denunciation also re
ceived prominent notice and mndo some
peoplo wonder.
THREE CLASSES OPPOSE.
Two classes of tho community havo
been violently opposed to Mr. Sunday's
coming to Boston. These havo been tho
browers nnd tho Unitarians, an Interest
ing combination. To them should bo
added, but hardly In tho samo group, a
third class somo theological professors
and pastors who arc tainted with the
views of Unltarlanlsm. Thcso men have
not scrupled to take tho money contrib
uted by orthodoxy to undermine tho faith
that has given them tho positions which
they now occupy.
After a pastorato of 11 years In tho
largest Protestant church In Cambridge,
and knowing Boston as I do, I am asked
this question, "Will 'Billy' Sunday suc
ceed in Boston and what may wo expect
as a result of his thrco months' cam
paign which begins In our city In Oc
tober W167"
In reply I may say that his sermons
are altogether of a stronger and better
quality than I had anticipated. They aro
carefully written. The diction Is good,
the sentences well constructed nnd tho
marshaling of facts and arguments are
clearly conceived nnd powerfully pre
sented. No one Is left for n moment In
uncertainty as to his meaning. Ills ap
peal Is more to tho Intellect than to tho
emotions.
NO LACK OF EDUCATION.
There Is nothing about his discourses
that would Indicate a lack of education.
Thoy could be preached In any college or
university in tho land. It Is when ho
turns nsldo from his manuscript to add
emphasis to what ho hns been saying that
his extraordinary language appears. Yet
the man Is In such nn Intense whito heat
, of earnestness and so anxious to drive
home his point that what he does and
Bays Is forgotten and ho sweeps his audi
ences Irresistibly on with him.
His sermons are not of tho usual oven
gellstlc type, They are more apologetic.
They deal with defense of tho Christian
faith. Mr. Sunday believes that men are
lost. His denunciations of sin aro ter
rific, reminding one of tho Hebrew proli
ets, nnd ho has unlimited faith in Christ's
power to save. In the atoning sacrifice of
Calvary, he has a perfect and the only
remedy for human woes nnd needs. Thcso
are the secrets of his marvelous power.
Where there Is so much to command
and thank God for one regrets to sug
gest any criticism. I am told that In
the early sermons of tho cnmpalgn ho
used more slang than now. Occasionally
his denunciations aro said to havo been
even reckless. When on,e comes to seo
and hear the man, however, ho Is led to
understand and make allowance for thl3.
PRAYERS A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Mr. Sunday's prayers aro a disappoint
ment. Thoy aro a combination of address
and prayer and thcro is sometimes a lack
of reverence when ho approaches God
that one could wish was different. Say
what wo will to men, but when wo ap
proach tho Throne ot Graco wo should
remove our shoes from off our feet, for
tho ground Is holy. Even here, however,
peoplo keep In mind as accounting for
this Irreverence tho strnln under which
ho Is laboring and his Intense earnestness.
What effect will Mr. Sunday havo in
Boston? Ho will raise a storm. He will
break up conventionalism and drive fnd
dlBts and looso religionists nnd rational
ists Into bitter hostility. Ho will find
there, on the other hand, the New Eng
land conscience and an Interest In things
of religion. He will be backed by mighty
men of God and a host of thorn. It Is
to bo hoped that he will not kill himself
by overwork before that time. I venture
to predict that the greatest work in all
his marvelous life lies before him In the
metropolis of New England.

SUNDAY'S SERMON TODAY
SUBJECT! "COMPASSION"
"For seeing the multitudes, Ho Was
moved with compassion. 'Pray ye.' Ho
snld, 'the Lord of tho harvest that Ho
would send forth laborers unto the har
vest." Matthew Is. 3G-3S.
"We are getting so far ahead of tho
Lord nowadays; wo have tho crowd
Which says thcro Is no disease In tho
world, but tho Blblo says there Is; wo
havo tho crowd which says thcro Is no
devil, but tho Lord says thoro is. I
am led to tako up this subject for sev
eral reasons; because of nn Inspiration
from a book I rend, the study of tho
tllbto with this object In view, and I
heard a preacher say, when a family of
six Joined tho church, 'they will add
numbers but not wealth or social In
fluence to my church."
AFTEIt "IUCH DUCKS."
"You make mo tired trying to get the
rich ducksvlnto the church and passing
by tho ordinary crowd. You tnako mo
Blck. Somo people seem to think that
after Jesus Christ left tho world Ho
would have nothing, more to do with It.
Jesus Christ lives today and Is able to
help you ns it Ho walked by your sldo
over tho hills Of Galileo. God doesn't look
nt nnyono's pocketbook or social stand
ing before Ho makes up His mind to re
celvo them.
"Tho soul, to bo born ngaln, must be
lieve on Jesus Christ and no soul will bo
saved unions the owner docs. No such
thing Is possible. You may love God and
then turn your back to Illin and Insult
Him. You say you lovo God, but do not
bellovo that Jesus Christ is Ills Son:
you're tho biggest fool living. Tho soul
that Is born again, that turns from sin
nnd feuds upon tho word of God, will
havo fellowship With tho Lord.
SCOIIES CHURCH MEMBERS
"Somo of you don't know what Chris
tianity is; halt tho peoplo In tho church
never had a religious experience; I bo
llovo halt tho people In tho church have
nover been converted. Ono ot tho llrst
evidences of Christianity Is reaching out
for tho unsaved. It Is by doing things
for Christ that I grow. Use what you
have, and you'll get more. It Is not like
money hoard It up to get more hut glvo
out what you havo nnd God will glvo you
more. That's tho reason somo people
have so little. They haven't ns much
Christianity now us when they entered
tho church.
"Supposo tho man with the withered
hand whom I told you about, had wrap
ped it up In n napkin nnd kept It In his
bosom until the next Sunday, week nftcr
week, taking It out on Sunday to seo how
nice It looked. How long do you sup
pose he would have been able to use It at
all? That's the way some of you do with
your religion. The matter with lots ot
God's people Is that thoy have wrlgglo
tnlls In their experience. They got it
little religious experience and wrap It
up until Sunday, going to card parties nnd
drinking beer, wine or champagne dur
ing the week.
SPIRITUAL LIFE.
"Thcro must bo spiritual llfo before
work ot which God upproves. There aro
a lot of things dono In tho church today
which God does not approve. "What docs
He care for theso rummago sales, oyster
suppers, etc.? Thoro must bo spiritual
llfo beforo Ito approves tho work.
"Tho church today has It all wrong. A
lot of people In church were never con
verted. First glvo yourself to God. He
doesn't caro about money, Jesus Christ
is not bankrupt. Ho is not hitting tho
free lunch counters to get something to
eat. Ono of tho biggest curses of the
church today Is putting unconverted peo
ple to work. You'll find them Ir. the Sun
day schools, among the teachers, cjiong
tho trustees; I've known of trustees of
churches who wero not even members of
tho church; they havo no business to
touch tho work of God; you wouldn't nl
low any one not a member to do anything
In your lodgo; you can see them In the
choir; ono-half the church scraps start
In tho choir loft; lots of peoplo sing for
money, for show, or for compliments, and
almost everything else except to sing peo
ple Into tho Kingdom of God.
WON'T RUN AFTER. THEM.
"I have received letters from people In
this city, saying, 'My daughter sings so
sweetly, I wish you would havo her sing
some night,' and others, saying, 'Mrs. So-and-so
doesn't go to tho meetings, hut
she Is a fine singer nnd If you'd ask lier
to sing I am sure sho'd come.' She'll havo
gray hairs before I send for her. They
needn't think I'm going to run after
them.
'If there's anything gives mo tho shiv
ers It Is to hear somo mother say, 'Don't
you wnnt to hear my daughter play tho
piano?' and then you listen to her piny,
and say, 'That's fine," when If Is tho worst
you over heard.
"Jesus went about tho cities on God's
business; Ho was not staking out clnlttis
on Jupiter. He saw peoplo as Ho went
from placo to plnco as no ono else could
see them. Ho saw them from God's
standpoint, and His standpoint was to
have them saved. If you aro saved
you've got to look at the unsaved multi
tudes like God did. He did everything to
bring people Into the Kingdom of God.
You've got to do what Ho did or get out
of tho church. If you havo no compassion
for sinners you'ro not His follower, you're
of the devil,
PHILADELPHIA'S DAY.
"Jesus Christ can do something for this
city. This Is Philadelphia's day; not this
21 hours, but the period of this campaign.
Jesus Christ saved all sorts and condi
tions; Ho saved the publicans, tho har
lots, tho booze fighters, the gamblers, the

you are not Moved, get down on your
knees and say: 'I nm a big fraud and a
tottr-ilushcr. I seo peoplo going to hell
and never open my lips.
DEVIL. MAU11ED MAN.
"You're mado In tho Imago of God, but
look how tho devil has marred somo of
you. You can seo It In tho grogshops, tho
red-light districts, tho gambling dons,
everywhere seo tho mars tho devil has
placed on man.
"Jesus knew tho devil had nover mado
mnn. Jesus enmo to this world to re
vcat God to man, and tho highest rovcla
tlon I haVo of Ood enmo to mo through
Jesus Christ. Tho Bible Is tho revolution
ot Jesus Christ, nnd Jesus Christ reveals
God to me. Jesus came to reveal, mnn
to man. In Jesus Christ wo havo God's
revelation of what Ho wants you nnd mo
to be, what I nm preaching to you for
you to la.
"JcsUs Christ saw limitations of the
people because of sin. That's tho reason
somo of you haven't got a better Job;
limited by sin. I believe, had there been
no ono In tho garden of Eden, thcro
would have b-cn no limitation, physical
or Intellectual. Now wo llvo bo many
years.
POINT OF VISION.
"What wo seo depend upon our point of
vision. You can't sit around nnd play
cards and then weep because Philadel
phia Is going to hell. You can't sit down
and drink bocr, when no champagne nnd
look nt God through tho bottom of a
glass nnd then weep becauso Philadel
phia Is going to hell. Get on your knees
anil see the sinner through tho word of
God and then weep. It all depends on tho
point of vision.
"Jesus Christ was not looking at that
crowd through opera glasses that had
been lined up on n leg s'now In somo
cheap theatre
REAL COMPARISON.
"If somo of you women would stop giv
ing card parties and weep becauso your
son Is going to tho devil, you'd know what
compassion Is. It's when tho heart aches,
and the eyes fill with tears over another's
wrong that you havo compassion.
"How docs a crowd affect you? It you
could havo seen that crowd ot men Sun
day afternoon. Tho tabernaclo wns filled
and as many more could not got In. Many
stood outsldo peering through the win
dows, eager to hear what might como
through tho walls. The world Is hungry
for Jesus Christ, and think of somo of
you sitting around playing cards and
gambling nnd professing to bo followers
of God. It Is nn insult to God. Do you
get angry when you como to the taber
nacle and find some ono In the seat you
limi been occupying night after night?
Or do you wlpo your hands of the crowd
and say yuu nre not responsible for their
lives? Somo people seo money In a crowd.
Tho politician sees votes In a crowd. As
to what effect a crowd has on you de
pends upon your point of view. If you
aro a Christian you will bo moved to team
nnd compassion and want the crowd
saved. I have been around over Philadel
phia and up on the hills and looked over
the city. I never do that but what I feel
llko Jesus Christ ns Ho looked over
Jerusalem from the hilltops and cried out
to that city because It had not turned to
Illm.
Tho Rov. Sunday told a story of the
Y. M. C. A. llfo In Chicago. Ho had tho
saloon routo and ho said ho could havo
stood upon tho roof of tho Y. M. C. A.
and with a revolver shot Into more than
three .score saloons. Ho had the privi
lege of selecting his companion and chose
a big fellow.
"I didn't want any little dissatisfied
follow who'd let mo do all the fighting,
for It sometimes happened wo had to
fight our way through. I wanted a fol
low who could go so fast you couldn't
see him for dust. I don't let peoplo make
a cuspidor and doormat out of tho church
of God If I can help it.
"Ono night wo counted 1062 men going
into ono saloon In 62 minutes. We had
become separated, nnd when I found
my compnnlon ho was leaning against a
sign In front of a saloon, crying bitterly.
'What's the matter?' I asked. 'Has somo
one Insulted you? Tell me where he is
and I'll lick him.' But he snld, 'Bill. I
think you and mo are the only two men
in Chicago trying for Jesus Christ to
savo the thousands from going to hell."
I don't think anything has ever affected
mo llko that did. And right ncross tho
street was a theatre crowded to Its
doors, nnd more than half tho peoplo
In there wero professing Christians.
PREACHERS ALL RIGHT.
"Now don't crano your necks to wo how
tho prcnehors tako It. I preach to them
tho samo ns to you, and If you havo as
much backbone as they have you'd go
some. If they havo n yellow streak In
them I haven't found It yet, and I'vo
been looking close, too. If they don't be
lieve In everything I say they have sense
enough to keep their mouths shut. God
doesn't want any ono whose heart Is not
In tho work. Ho doesn't want anything
to do with you.
ALREADY SIFTED
"Some one says 'How that will sift the
ranks of tho church. Thoy'ro already
slftod. I knew of a church with 2000
members, and when It came down to a
basis of personal workers there wero but
150. I knew of another church of about
2000 members which nover had more than
200 who attended prayer meetings.
"Some ono says. 'My, how that will
change methods.' Every church ought to
bo an asylum for tho lost, a refuge for
tho harlot, the drunkard and tho out
cast. If It Is not, then tear down your
sign. Tear down the sign which labels
us children of Jesus Christ, and If you
have lost all compassion for the unsaved
net down on your knees and nsk God

ABOUT EXCITEMENT.
"You Bny you don't wnnt any excite

community. You'ro tho biggest liar on
earth. Tho thing that Injures tho town
Is tho giog-shop, tho gambling hells,
houses of ill-fnme. Thcso things nra thu
objects for your printers' Ink and you
can dip your pen In vitriol. But when
you como out ngnlnst God I'll fight you
to tho last ditch. Jesus saw tho moncy
cluvngers In tho temple, saw thorn selling
doves nnd pigeons. Ho took tho lash,
nnd overturned chnlrs and tables and
drovo tho gang out. Don't you think that
was oxcltlng? Well, I guess.
"If Jesus Christ would walk Into tho
church today He'd say, 'Get out ot here,
you old lobster, you old four-flushers;
you'vo been making my house a clcnrlnu
house for worldllness nnd you're only a
pawn on the devil's chess board.'
WHAT WOULD i'.ESULT.
"You say that would reduce tho church
membership. Yos, but not for long. If
that would happen you'd soon havo to
build additions to tho churches to hold
tho people. Let some old bcll-wotjier go
out and tie her purso strings nnd you'll
have to peoplo coming bnck to seo how
you did It. 'When Jesus saw the multi
tudes Ho wns moved to compassion.' "

"You ought to tnnko your church a

BOY SCOUTS
By T. L. TIERNEY
Director Camp Perinea.
In approaching this subject It may bo
well to dlvldo It Into throe parts, and
In doing sb I would placo them In order
of Importance: Fire, preparedness nnd
actual cooking.
Fire Is placed first, as It Is naturally
tho flist thing to look to beforo preparing
ft meal In camp, nnd also becauso tho
cook, no matter how good. Is practically
helpless without tho proper kind of lire.
Prepnredness Is placed second, and, as
Is suggested, tho cook must "bo pre
pared" beforo ho attempts tho actual
cooking. Under this head would be placed
cooking equipment, recipes nnd method
of use nnd application.
Actual cooking, although placed Inst,
Is perhaps tho hardest part of tho wholo
subject. It certainly Is tho most difficult
to lmpnrl, nnd will havo to bo confined
to susgcstlons, rather than to any set
rules, on account of tho varying condi
tions under which It Is done. I also be
llovo thcro Is a certain Intuition which
tells a good cook when a thing Is cook
ing properly nnd the exact Instant when
to remove it from tho flro In order to
havo It "done to a T." It would be moro
to tho point to say that tho good cooks
are those who havo tho Intuition. This
latter Is not a tangible thing which can
lm put down In black nnd white, but must
be brought out by many trials nnd per
Imps a good many failures. Close atten
tion to tho process ot cooking and tho
varying requirements for each kind of
food will, If consistently carried out and
thought out, teach a boy to become what
Is often spoken of as an "Intultlvu cook."
(lotting back to the subject ot lire, tho
first thing Is to select a proper place to
build the lire. This, of course, varies
according to weather condlt'ons. If n
windy day. try to get shelter or protec
tion from a hill, a bank or the woods. It
In the Ice of a woods you will run llttlo
risk of setting them nllro.
If you nro In the woods, select a site
where thcro nre no low-hanging branches,
ns tho hent would kill them. If possible,
select a flre-placo directly under nn open
space In the trees through which you can
see tho sky; this wilt not only protect
the trees, hut will aid you with your lire,
as the heat rising through the opening
will cause a draft, similar to a chimney,
which will draw off the smoke and nt the
same time cause your lire to burn better.
Do not build a fire without first scraping
tho leaves away for a dlstnnce of flvo
or six feet In every direction from tho
spot on whlrh you wish to build the fire;
this will prevent creeping nnd eliminate
to a great degree the chances for a gen
eral conllngrutlon.
Having selected your site. Ilic next step
Is to build the fire. There are three kinds
of fires I will describe In this article.
First, tho flro for frying, broiling and
the more easily cooked vegetables, such
as potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, spinach,
new pens, now corn, squash, asparagus,
etc.
Select two giern logs, :t to I Inches In
dlnmeter and .! to 1 feet long, place them
on the ground side by side, nearer to
gether al one end than the other (2 Inches
apart at ono end and fi Inches nt thn
other, nnd place lliein broadside lo tho
wind. Then regulate your draught by
placing a sllek or stone under one or
both ends or the log on the windward
Hide, according to the strength ot tho
wind. Stnrt your fire between the logs
In tho regulation way. Be sure to have a
large enough supply of dry wood on
hand to completo your cooking. Small
hard wood Is best for this fire; spanning
the flro, you can place your pots and
pans nnd broilers on the logs, arranging
them according to size over tho wider or
narrower space. For broiling burn n
quantity of hard wooil until you have a
good bed of conls. (See cut.)
Second, If you are having a cold snack
mid want a hot drink, the quickest
method teeming hot water Is to build a
small pyramid flro and with a crotch
stick and a long pole swing your kettlo
over tho fire. (Sec cut.)
Tho third method of flro building Is
for a moro or less pcrmnment camp and
one for cooking articles which require a
much longer time, such as beans, beets,
cabbage, onions, turnips, baked potatoes,
hunters' stew, hams, etc. It is also ono
of tho best fires for baking with n re
flector oven.
To build this fire, first drive two stnkcs
In tho ground about thrco feet apart and
not qulto upright and standing clear of
the ground about four feet. Against
these placo logs four to flvo foot long,
Idling them ono on tho other, until three
or four feet high. Use logs six to eight
