HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND CADETS HIT TRAIL FOR "BILLY" SUNDAY Trenton, Morrisville and Bor dentown Institute Boys Re spond to Evangelist's Call WILL NOT PREACH TODAY TRBNTON. N. J., Jan. 22. "Billy" Sunday established a new high record mark for trail-hitting during his Trenton campaign last night. When he sounded hln clarion call for converts HO boys from the Uordentown Mllltnry Institute arose and marched up the sawdust alete. The movement was executed with aa much precision ns If nn order had been given by n commanding ortlcer Instead of nn Invitation to declare publicly for Christ. Tho spectacle was one of tho most remarkable scenes during "Billy's" stay In Trenton. "Billy" was deeply moved by the unanimity of the response, nnd from the moment he had shaken hands with the Uordentown delegation he put forth every effort to Indttco others to follow them. The example of the Hordentown youths was quickly followed by pupils from tho Trenton High School. About 100 boys from tho local school responded, nnd they In turn wcro quickly followed by tho entire delegation from the high school of Mor risville, Pa. Conversions had never come so quickly during tho present campaign, nnd the ush ers wcro quite unable to perform their usual duties. A score of pastors seated on tho platform looked on approvingly, but made no niovojo help They wero quickly roused by the ringing words of "Billy," who shouted: "Come on, you pastors; don't sit there like n lot of bumps on a log nt a time like this' Got out and work) You give me n pain'" In the sermon which had preceded the call to tho students, of whom there were thousands at the meeting, "Billy" partlc ulailv attacked those who scoff and sneer at tho Mhlo He ridiculed the "hell-born doctrine," that character will save from hell. Decrying modern tendencies, ho de clared the world Is going crazy, saying If the present ratio of Insanity keeps up everybody In the world would be "buj house" In 219 years.
