-BLACK BILLY SUNDAY-
THRILLS HIS CONVERTS
' TO 'STRIKE THE PIKE'
jjcgro Evangelist Has His
n,.m Phrase for "Trail-
Hitting" and Shows Abil
ity to Exhort Without
Acrobatics.
WillbankS SHOWS rns rower as
an Inimitable atorytener ana
Softens His Hearers in Va

Penitence.
"BLACK DILLYISMS."
"Oven the front door of your heart
tndlet Ood in; kick the devil out
the back door and throw htm over
th'Lop-Mcd, slew-footed, jiiislllatii
mous religion don't pel you any-

"The Picsldcnt only pels a four

tlaht to preach than I have with a
revolver shooting it into pour faces."
"It then ulvc out crowns for good

A icmarknhle demonstration of lila
ability to B'lP llc attention of his hear
ts ard make them "strike the pike"
without acrobatics wan given before 1500
I persons lat nlRht at the Varlck African
Jtrthodlsf episcopal Zlon Church, 19th
and Catharine stieets, by the Rev. Alex
ander Wlllhanks, the "Black Billy Sun
day." Shorn of tho action that characterizes
niost of his sermons, I1I3 talk Inst night
made 35 men and women "plko strikers "
They started to lino up outside tho
church at S o'clock, and It was more than
two hours and a half later before Will
banks Btepped out on tho platform and
itartcd Ihe long prayer with which ho
precedes all his sermons. Tho subject of
the sermon was "A Child Sneezing Soen
Times After Death."
Comparison of the big Negro's methods
with thooo of "Hilly" Sunday so far aa
his actions on tho platform nro concerned
caused him to make up his mind to de
liver one sermon without the customary
gymnastics. Ho did not climb upon tho
organ last night; ho did not charge down
the aisles nor stand on the benches.
Once or twice, as he got' warmed up to
his work, he forgot his determination to
keep his feet still and bounded Into the
air and once ho started to pull oft his
long frock coat, but otherwise he con
fined his action to a dlgnlfed pacing
Back and forth across tho platform.
TELLS STORY INIMITABLY
At least one of the secrets of his power
to sway his peoplo came to light In
this unusual sermon. It Is that he has
developed to the "nth" power the natural
gift of his raco as story-tellers. He took
the story of tho healing of the Shunamlte
woman's son nnd told It Inimitably. A
big Bible served him to represent the
dead child. Ho crooned to It ns a mother
might In the plalntle tono nnd tho
alurrcd words of his native South.
For thirty minutes as he told his story
his voice never rose above a certain key
and there was no sound from the audi
ence save that, occasionally, of a half
tilled sob. And all the time ho Illus
trated, covering the Bible that repre
sented the child with a handkerchief,
trotting slowly over the platform to Indi
cate how tho mother hurried to the
prophet, and stalking back slowly to
how how Oehazl returned with tho
(art.
The men and women In the big audi
torium shot backward against the benches
as though something had exploded In
front of them Some of them stood up
and all of them Joined In the gasping
sigh that swept over the church, fol
lowed Instantly by a running lire of
fen Id ejaculations.
TEARS TEST OF CONVERSION.
The most singular feature of the meet
ing lat night, however, was staged after
IVl'lbanks finished his sermon, after the
"pike strikers" had shaken hands with
him and taken their places In "glory row."
About tm of the audience tiled out while
the others snug hymns, nnd then the
doors neie closed again and the real work
of taxing the slnneis began.
The thousand-odd men and women In
the chuien pi eased forward around the
pulpit, tanimm the aisles until they he
came tmpasmble and started singing. The
penitents draped to their knees nnd
burled their'??, ads In their arms. This
was at l" o'clock. It was 11 o'clock be
fore the last of the "pike strlkera" dem
onstiated hi or her conversion in tears.
The mere statement of repentance does
hot suffice In a negro tevlval. The peni
tent must shed tears. Ho must "get re
ligion." get It. In the language of Will
tanks, In his hands and In his feet. Last
night he told them that It they didn't
have enough religion to make them dance,
or ting, or shout, or pound their feet or
at least keep time with their fingers, they
didn't have any religion at all.
Then he tempered this statement by the
tale of a Negro who tried to Join a church.
They sent hlrn hjirlr tn r.nrnl Ha re.

and that both are feeling line. Their
message to this city was:
We reached homo safe, on time to

and friends were nt the station to wel
eomo us home. Mother was smlium
nnd happy to see us, and Insisted on
sitting up at the table nnd eating

Wo are really homesick for dear old
Philadelphia. It all seems like a
dream, but wo would like lo dream It
all over again. Love to all.
NELL AND BILL.
There were many anxious to shnkc the
hand of the evangelist, and, whllo ho

relatives and members of tho Sunday
party who remained In this city, ns the
aged Mrs. Sunday had been confined to
her bed for a long time.
Sunday said last night that he was
not worn out by the strenuous campaign
hore as he hod expected to be. Although
somewhat tired In body and although his
voice wan somowhnt strained, he said
that ho felt In excellent physical condi
tion. He nnnounccd definitely that he would
Btart his campaign In Patcrson, N. J., on
April 4, nnd that after It wns finished ho

ranch in Oregon for a rest.
At the conclusion of their stay In tho
country he plans to conduct campaigns

Omaha, Neb.: Trenton, N. J.; Baltimore
und Louisville. In the autumn of 1916 he
plans to open a revival campaign In
Boston.

PASTOR URGES CO-OPERATION
Thinks Individual Should Keep in
Closer Touch With Church.
Closer touch with the churches on tho
part of tho Individual and more active co
operation were tirged by the Rev. John W.
Walker, who was the principal speaker
today at the noonday services In St.
Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church, 3d
and Pine streets. The speaker took for
hla topic "Our Opposition to Learn tho
Lesson of Love."
"Wo err In Christian life," he said,
"when we suppose that Heaven Is a posi
tion rather than a condition. But men
object to Christian teaching because there
Is nothing pcrsonnl In It and because they
say 'God has favorites.' Our Lord shows
the very opposite, seeking out the harlot,
the publlcnn and the sinner. There seems
to be n danger of the church losing In
dividual touch, hut Baptism and Con
firmation emphasize this. To believe that
God loves me' Is an incentive for an
active life.

NEUTRALITY A SHAM
IN FfGHT WITH EVIL
Preacher Uses War in Europe
as Example of Struggle Be
tween Antagonistic Forces.
Neutiallty In Europe wns declared to
bo absolutely Impossible except as nn ab
stract theory t.y tho Rov. Charlos J.
Smith, of Trinity Lutheran Church, New
York, nt tho noonday Lentn services at
St. John's Lutheran Church, Race below
Gth street, today. Not even In the case
of Belgium. Mr. Smith asserted, rotlld
neutrality be more than an empty sham.
With this as the basis of his sermon the
preacher pointed out there could be no
neutrality in tho unending conflict be
tween the forces of good nnd evil that
enter Into every human life.
"The Idea of neutrality," said the
speaker, "is good: the realization Impos
sible. Tho reason for this Is that neu
trality has to do with human natuio, and
humnn nature Is always prejudiced. Tho
lips may smugly profess neutrality, but
the heart can never be Impartial.
"Two lads may be fighting in the street.
We feel tho bhame of lt and we try the
role of peacemaker; but If one happens to
land a skilful blow we can scarcely re
frain from applauding. Neutrality Is only
a nam:, unless It Is based upon the pos
sesion of tho power to u?e It.
"Little Belgium, sel in the cry midst
of three great contending nations, would
lie declared neutral by International con
vention, but It could never be kept neutral
In the face of the great conflict. This Is
the sh-imc and the sham of neutrality.
"In his Inner life man cannot be neu
tral. He Is set In the midst of two great
antagonistic powers God and the devil.
He may declnie himself neutral, out he
1ms not thi power to enforce his declara
tion." THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT
Tho Rev. A. R. Berkley Preaches
Lenten Sermon.
"The Fruits of the Spirit" was the
topic of 0 sermon delivered today by the
Rev. Alfred R. Berkley at a noonday
Lenten service at Old St. Paul's Eplscopnl
Church. 3d street below Wnlnut stieet.
Two points which tho speaker empha
sized were that frull-benrlng. in religious
ns well ns In the material life, is n
gradual process, and that lt Is contingent
on the maintenance of our relation with
God.
"Our relation to our fellow men," he
said, "should be similar to that of our
Lord In the matter of long suffering, pa
tience, kindliness nnd sympathy. No
better example could have been given us
than Christ, whoso life may bo summed
up In the words, 'He went about doing
good.' "

SUNDAY BAFFLED BY
SCRIBES' OBSTINACY
Evangelist Could Not Under
stand Why Reporters Re
fused to "Hit the Trail."
"Billy" Sunday's "goat" Is not nn easy
one to got, ns any one who knows the
evnngellst will readily admit. He hates
nolae and coughing white preaching He
Is a bundle of nerves, but It takes some
thing unusual to phnse or disappoint him.
The Philadelphia newspapermen certainly
disappointed both "Billy" and "Ma" Sun
day In one respect nnd, perhaps, In two.
For eome reason unknown to members
of the Stindav party, the 30-odd reporters
"covering'' the relal. with one excep
tion, could not be Induced to "hit' 'the
far-famed "sawdust trail," although In
ducements In the form of coaxing and
1 gentle words were certainly not lacking.
"Ma frnnkly admitted that the news
papermen hore were beyond hor under
standing. "In other cities," she said,
"practically all the newspapermen 'came
forward.' Some needed a llttlp persuasion
nnd held out for some weeks, but they
were finnlly convinced."
Another little misunderstanding on
"Ma's" part was evinced when she
wished to give the reporters a little
parting token of remembranco In the
form of money. Sho explained that in
other cities "Billy" had always given tho
reporters some little gift to show his
appreciation of their work nnd support,
and that ho wished to do the some In
Philadelphia. Not having time to buy
individual gifts, gold pieces were pro
duced, which "Ma" snld she hoped the
hewspnpermon would accept
Practically without an exception, tho
reporters thanked both "Ma" nnd "BIIU"
for their kindness, but refused tho gift.
Autographed "photos" of Sunday were
acceptod gladly.
"I am sorry you will not accept
money," "Ma" snld. "You Philadelphia
newt"papcrmcn nre certainly different
from others we have met "
The Sunday household, while at meals,
would often wonder why or how the re
porters could resist "Billy's" pleading
seimons. Some one suggested that ninny
reporters covering the revival were pro
fessed Christians nnd churchgoers. "Thnt
Is no reoson why they should not come
forward nnd tako their stand for Jesus
Christ." was the prompt reply.
If Philadelphia newspapermen are dif
ferent from those In other cities, local
"scribes" are Inclined to wonder how
many newspapermen will "hit the trail"
In New York.

Tradition has passed n shaking hand
across her wrinkled brow again and re
called one of her most Interesting stories
for the benefit of the present generation.
It Is the yarn of E. C. Booz, n Philadel
phia distiller ot the vintage of 1810, who
blew his name In his whisky bottles and
to gave birth to a slang term for his
product that goes marching on long after
his body has ceased to.
lt all came to tight yesterday when two
collectors paid JJS and $30 respectively
for two of his original bottles at A sate of
the curio collection of Harry B. Hnrmcr,
of this city, In the Merwln Galleries, New
York city.
Booz made his whisky so good that
ninny Phllndelphlnns of the time would
reeorcnlze no other. To the bartender's
classic "Whatllyunve?" they simply re
plied "Booz." nnd let It go nt that.
In plto of tho fnrt thnt the old Hng

There Is no question, however, that It
