"Billy sunuay maao nn impassionea

Bornlns when ho addressed an audlenco
f moro than COO women, who assembled
iln the auditorium of the New Century
Club, 12th street aoovo walnut, as the
ests or .Mrs. ii. s. l'rentlas .Nichols.
T un substantlato my testimony ns
to the llfo and teachings of Jesus," tho
unteliat cried shortly after 'no had bo-
fun to speak. "Tes, I can substantlato
It by the histories and writings of men
who lived In His day, men who aro not
mentioned In tho Bible."
; "Do jou know," ho thundered, "that
thete are enough passages quoted from
theJNew Testament In tho literature of
th' period of tho Apostles to piece to
pther so much of that Book that no
ihould have most of It clcn If tho Bible
Itself had been lost?"
"Billy" evidently felt that he was faco
to face with many of the "higher critics"
who damn the Bible with faint praise,
those he has scored so often In sermons
treached at the tabernacle. Tho thoucht
teemed to stir him almost to tlje breaking
pgjiil, uui uiuiuuKii uu iiuvcr icsunea iu
the slang so frequently heard at tho
Ubernacle services, he talked so fast
tt times as to bo understood only with
great difficulty.
"I wlh comebddy would tell me why
people never doubt tho word of Hark
Anton? about Cleopatra, the flat-nosed
Tile, African enchantress." ho cried, "and
jet they' are ready enough to doubt tho
word of God.
Moses lived about BOO veara hnfnra
nomer," he continued, "and some of von
aw quote Homer by the doko and belfevn
IV yet jou refuse to believe that Moses
even existed.
'Clement, of Rome. wni n frtpnH nt !..
:dlsclpUs. He wrote an epistle to tho
church at Corinth, and It u turn n tit
rated with information about those men
nd the work they were doing. Further
more, I can tell you that the New Testa
ment was a popular book of the age fol
lowing the Apostles, and without a shad
ow of doubt it was In the hands of th
people before tho last of tho Apostles had
passed away, too.
"I tell you the Blblo Is tho word of
God, and when I cry fo- tho people to
repent and accept Jesus Christ, I want
JOU to know that I linvo. thn hpst ntilhnr.
ityla the world for what I say."
At one point In his sermon "Billy"
warmly praised the womanhood of Amer
ica "Woman has become an Important Cog
In the political nnd economic life of our
age," he said. "Her duty used to be
confined to tho home, but she Is now
coming Into her own, and It Is time, too,
for woman Is endowed with a mind equal,
If not superior, to that of man's."
"Billy" wad accompanied by "Ma"
Sunday, Homer A. nodchcaver, Bentley
D Ackley, his pianist; Miss 8axo and
Miss Kinney, all members of the evan
gelist's pnrty. Tho servlco was opened
iiii a musical service, nftcr which
Bishop Qarland offered prayer. The
scrlco was closed by the Itev, Dr. N, It
a, rife, who delivered tho benediction.
A feature of the service was tho his
toric lectern loaned for the occasion by
Holy Trinity Church, it was the one
formerly used by Phillips Brooks when ho
preached hla famous emancipation ser

who attended tho service wero Mrs.

mean death to moro than one Iloman sol
dier If ho should make his escape.
lie was the captain of nn Insurgent
robber band, who has caused the Govern
ment much trouble, for he has long re
sisted nnd defied Its authority. Mnny
companies of soldiers were sent against
him, with orders to bring him. either
dead or alKc. but like the Apache In
dinns, who for so long wero able to defy
Uncle Sam because they knew so well
all tho securo hiding plnccs hi their own
western wilds, so Barabbas with his out
law band long resisted nnd c'udod tho
lioman battalions that wero sent against
him.
"But just as General Miles at last
proved too wily for old Geronlmo, so
Barabbas waa finally run down and
taken, nnd now he Is securely caged In
tho dungeon of Antonio. Ho was tried
and found guilty of both murder nnd
treason and scntenco of death hnd boon
pronounced upon him. Ho Is doomed to
die, nnd that very soon, nnd ho must die
without mercy, with excruciating suffer
ing, for he Is to bo crucified, this being
tho way In which Homo put an end to
nil such offenders. In tho dark solitude
of his dungeon Barabbas has been com
pelled to think and think tho weary
hours away. He has had to think as he
never thought before In all his life, for
ho Is now where thcro Is nothing to divert
Ills thoughts. Thcro Is nothing to break
the crazing monotony of those closing
days except when once In 14 hours his
brutnl Jailer brings his allowance of
brend nnd water.
"Ho thinks of the time when they
plighted their troth, and of the feast that
was made, and of the Joy of parents and
friends when It was known that they
wero to wed. Ho remembers their early
housekeeping days, In the llttlo home
upon which was the very breath of
heaven. Ho can seo again every artlclo
of furniture, Just as It was then, and
how precious everything thcro was to his
precious llttlo wlfo. No king's palaco
over had moro In It to make hearts happy
than their little home had for them ln
those bright days.
'And then what a day It was when tho
cup of their Joy was made to run ocr
by the coming of the first little stranger,
but who was at onco so well known, for
ho was Ilka n guest from heaVcn. O Bar
abbas, how far you wero from the dun
goon of Antonio then I How undreamed
of tho cross on Golgotha Hill With tho
coming of llttlo Stephen how soon every
thing centred in him for I love to imag
lno that Barabbas may hao been the
father of Stephen Now they lived and
planned for tho llttlo one, and nothlnp
so blocks tho way to destruction for a
man as the lovo of wife and child Noth
ing can so put courage Into the heart of ;
n man as little arms about his neck.
"How Barabbas loved his wife and
boy and wanted to bo strong and noblo
nnd bravo for them, and how the moth
er's happiness lay In making little coats
for the boy, In which she put her moth
er's heart, her highest skill and best
needlework, building with every stitch
bright castles In the air for him, for a
mother never lives so llttlo ln the pres
ent moment as when bcsldo tho cradle,
And so Barabbas sits nnd thinks, as
sccno after sceno from the olden time
comes Into his mind, of when child after
child came Into his home, until at last
ho awakes from his reverie with a start.
for his thoughts have led him n long
and wlrdlng way, and have brought him
to tho present moment.
"How ho lepents of his misdeeds,
which havo brought such sorrow to those
he loves, and how he feels that he would
glvo his very soul for a chance to live
Ufa ocr again! But alas! It Is simply
aln regret There Is no hope for him!
Ho must die, as Homo has declared, and
fiom Caesar there Is no appeal. Ho
realizes It all too well.
"The lioman Government has never
been know n to have mercy on such as he
Some things can bo condoned, but treason
never! It will be so hard to die with
out even one farewell look Into the faces
of those he loves. With no chance to
hear them say that they forgive him for
the corrow ho has brought upon them.
"No, there Is no hope for any of this,
and realizing It In all Its bitterness the
doomed man almost longs for the sum
monsthe summons that will send him
to tho cross' But suddenly, as ho slti
there ln his dungeon, with the weight of
his fetters nnd his troubles so heavy upon
him, he hears the great shout of a multi
tude crying out his own name 'Barabbas!
Barabbas! "Bnrabbns!" What can It

How hard lo suffer and die with no friend

rion, and the soldiers are mnrklng time
at tho door. Then tho great Iron key
grates ln tho rusty lock and tho bolt
shoots back. Tho big door creaks ns It
swings on Its great hinges. Barabbas
thought he would bo glad to die thought
ho would be rendy when his time came
but now that It has llfo was never so

for a few moro days of life out In tho

"The door Is then opened beforo him
and he Is thrust out Into tho great court.
Barabbas Is dazed-amazed. Free? What
can It mean? He, free? Why, he heard
the governor pronounco his death scn

"Ho throws his arms about tho wife
who has loved him so long nnd so well,
and kisses her ngnln nnd again, while
the children nre pulling nnd clamoring
about him. and then he takes them In
hand In the same way, nnd then, holding
tho youngest by the hand, they go on
gladly to the home Into which ho never
had hoprd to come again, Then he
says, 'Why, Stephen, my boy, what a

clare you are nlmost a man! And your

son' I hope your llfo will be ns good
ns inliip has been bad. How thankful I
am to the good God above us tills day"
"But presently, after Barabbas hns
kissed them nil, over nnd over, nnd has
told them time nnd ngaln how much he
loves them, nnd how glad ho Is to be
with them once more, ho says, 'and now,
my dears. I must leave jou for Just a.

I want to eeo him nnd thank him for

toward which they' have no llttlo trouble
in maKing their way through tho people
who through every open spnec. At last
they reach n placo somewhat near tho
castle, but the crowd Is so dense they
can go no fnrthcr. A moment later tho
heart of Barabbas nlmost slops beating,
ns he sees tho man who hps tnken his
place led out Into tho upper portico where
Pilate stands, nnd there Is Jesus with His
hands bound, the blood sli earning down
His pale face, from the crown of thorns
on His brow, and His flesh clotted from
the awful scourging He nns Just received!
And I'llate. pointing to Him, says, 'Be

"At that sight tho heart of Barabbas
becomes like that of a llttlo child nnd

of Jesus brighten wltn n look of Incffablo

to look Into the very soul of tho robber

Ho goes to tho cross
"Then they lead Jesus nwny lo crucify
Him, nnd you know tho awful story of
how nobody had . nny mercy on Him!
Of how He fell under tho weight of the

until nt last t'ney enmc to Calvary,
where, without .1 thought of mcrrv.
they drove tho cruet gplkri through His
ounerlng flesh, and ns Barabbas with
Stephen stood nnd watched It all from
tho nearest point they could gain, you

"That's what you say, every one of you.

and for me. He took our plnco under the

eternal death but tho sacrifice of Jesus;
and, knowing this, Ho freely poured out
Ills blood for Us; and now what kind of

"I want you to seo In Him today your
subtllut-your MCrtnco your fulfilment
of God's taw. I want you to lee in IHm
everything In the way 6t rlgliteottsnct
that Gol expects of you. Are you willing

"I love to think that nnrabbaa was
among those who saw the) risen Christ.
That lie was one of the- 125 on the day
of Tentecost. That ho became a mighty
preacher for Jcmis Christ, and may haVo
been one of tltoso whom the persecution
of Snul drove out of Jerusalem, nnd that,
llko Philip, he had revivals wherVei' M
went. I cannot Imagine his Keal ever
waning, or Ills lovo ever growing cold,
and perhaps he may havo been among
those who, after laying long In prlsom
wero thrown lo tho lions for the brutal
entertainment of Nero. I believe alt this
for Barabbas was easily within the pos
sible, for I have seen just such men
saved, and with a salvation Just ns wbn

After all there Is a higher purpose

It Is not an act to be commended.
The better nnd finer aim In religion
Is the saving of all life from sin and
