EVANGELIST'S STOCK OK HTORIRS.
Wlllbanks Interspersed bis scimon last
night with several of his stories of tho
Bouth, as usual. He seems to have an
unlimited supply of them. So far thoe
who have heard every sermon say he has
pot repeated once,
lie told his hearers last night that Phil
adelphia Is full of "sand-flddllng Chris
tlans." Then he explained that at Gal
veston, Tex., n largo number of people
may always bo found on the beach who
apparently have nothing to do but play
In the sand.
The story or a man who apologized to
ft mute related by the evangelist con
vulsed his audience. He declared relig
ion can make a man do anything.
"You know how somo men hate mules,"
lie said, "Well, thoro was a man down
South, who had a mule. The man was
stubborn and the mule was moro stub
born. The man said 'Gee,' and the mule
would n t pay any attention. Finally the
man Jumped up on that mule's back nnd
bit a piece out of his ear. The mule
threw him oft and Jumped on him.
'After a while that num cnt rn.in
He thought It over a while, and then ni
went to his mule and said, Tleat-e, Mlslci
Mule, forgive me. I'm sorry 1 bit off
your ear!' And I guess the mule for
gave him, because he didn't lash out with
his .heels."
It Will Bo Carried Throughout
