TALKS OF CASTING OUT DEVILS Pays His Respect to the Worshipper Who Sits in New Pew and Then Goes Out to Work for Saloon. ON PRICE OF SALVATION With “Ma” Sunday in her accus tomed place just back of' his plat form “Billy” Sunday was at his best yesterday afternaan. It was a ser- mon in which he scolded lazy and in- sincere church people and made them ashamed of themselves and of their actions in comparison with their pro- fessions. Before he started to preach he said a word about the Thursday night collection. “Phat collection was the first thing I've seen in Omaha that dis- appolntel me,” he said. “It didn’t amount to much. Twelve thousand people and $500 in the collection! About the poorest I've ever seen.” collection on the evening list preached his Home"” was to be i In Colorado on that night was afternoon text was the disciples when out the “Why the question of they were unable to cast devil. They asked Christ, could not we cast him out?” With such dramatic power did the speaker relate the story of a ah(p—; wreck that a number of women and | several men in the audience burst out orying. It was the story of a shipwreck, and while the fisherfolk on shore looked at the vessel going to pleces on the rocks they saw a man in the masthead. A young man on ghore asserted that he would rescue the mariner. His mother besought him not to go, as his father and brother had never returned from the sea, but he went and succeeded and the man he brought back was his brother.

Why, you're so low down the devil's ashamed of you." Mr. Sunday denunced the preachers #wh are so anxious to get a big crowd | that they have moving pictures and all| sorts of cheap clap trap in their churches. What 1s a blg crowd it there are noj “devils cast out?’ What's the use of earrying chairs in if you don't “throw devils out?’ He incidentally turned on bis detractors and villifiers, saying: “If you're writing mean. dirty lies about me in some so-called church papers and religious journals in Omaha and Ne- braska and think you're a follower of Christ, you're not. You're only the bell- wether of the devil.” Of the saloon he said: “It's dirty, rot- ton, low-down, hell-born, the vilest insti- tution that ever writhed out of the pit of hell.” Crack at the Preachers. He hit the ministers who try to preach #popular’ sermons to get the crowds. *“They get their sermons out of the magasines, or out of current events,” he sald with fine scorn. “They seek something ‘that will interest | the people.’ What they want to do is interest the people in the word of God.
