Kis | exact words were: “If any community has been held by the throat and choked to death by saloons and brewerles, it is |, Omaha." | At the close of his sermon, people thought that Mr. Sunday was going | to start afternoon trail-hitting for he called out: “] go out with the cross of the Son' of God. Who will gather be-; neath this standard? All who wlll,} stand up.” Practically everybody stood wup.| But no further pledge or evidence of faith was called for. Mr. Sunday’s frequent and vigorous | criticlsm of preachers and church mem-| bers were repeated in yesterday's after- noon sermon, which was based upon) the story of the loaves and fishes, After whipping his stinging lash at ministers, church members and various religious and other beliefs and activities not to his liking, which the revivalist labeled “Jack-ass nonsense,’ he made his re-| mark about saloons in Omaha, and then “took a fall” out of downtown churches which move out to the suburbs and re- bulld, when the congregations become Jarge and outgrow their old poperties. Religious Club Houses, | Dubbing scmh edifices “‘gorgeous reli- | glous clubhouses,” Mr. Sunday asserted that instead of singing hymns in them,| the church members “ought to be down-| town, shooting the skunks, digging up! the gophers and killing the rattiesnales! of the devil” l "l‘lw' think they have discharged| to the masses mt( hdull." be continued, ‘when they gv’ downtown ouce 8 year and squirt a little rosewater over the festering masses of! humanity there.” ! Billy Sunday mentioned no particular| churches in this connection, but his auditors recalled that several Omaha! congregations have recently moved from | their old downtown locations to the west| part of the city. { Sumdayisms in Sentences. Such a poliey, Mr. Sunday asserted, amounted to ‘“retreating before the saloons and the other instruments of the devil” Churches ought to stand and tight, he thought, instead of running away. ‘““The church has been on the defen- alve for 160 years,” he continued. "It is time it was getting on the offensive.” | Following are some of Mr. Sunday's terse and sayings: “If God can convert the preachers of the country, the devil will have a harder| time. | “‘God will not listen to a lot of worldly, indifferent, eritical churches. “Some of the bigwest devils I know| ‘nave their names on church records, ‘Some people go through the forms of religion when they are so close to hell they can smell the sulphur fumes. “We are substituting ' religion vighteousness. “It seem to be popular to get a big head of steam on for Ak-Sar-Ben, poli- ‘ics or business, but not for Ohrist. “The Men and Religion Forward move- ment of the Young Men's Christian as- ‘ociation was the biggest fizzle ever ‘Continued on Page Three, Column Four.)

The mayor sald the inquiry had not progressed far enough to indicate whether criminal negligence was responsible for the accl- dent, or whether arrests would be made. The accident happened a few minutes before § o'clock. Thousands of per- | sons, on thelr way to business in the crowded shopping section, rushed to the scone of the accident. Seventh avenue between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth streets. Police roped off the entire dis- trict between Twenty-second and Twenty- soventh streets and for half a block on sither side of Seventh avenue.

Reports from many parts of Bulgaria tell of enthusiastic demonstrations In favor of the government. This s con- sidered symptomatic of public feeling, which does not ignore the fact that the country is near to war. An informal cessation by Turkey of the territory along the Dedeghatoh railroad has been delayed by the action of the entente powers in notifying Bulgaria that acceptance of this territory would be regarded as an unfriendly act, which would invite counter measures. Ferdinand Answers Opposition. It was learned today that King Ferdi- nand, replying last Friday to the asser- tions of leaders of the opposition part! that the ailles would be victorious, said: ‘“The entente is not sure of winning. Nothing indicates at this moment that such will be the case If Bulgaria's chances of obtaining Macedonia depend thereupon they may never be realised. My government is following a polloy which is positive in action and oertain of good results.” Rumors that Premier Radostavotf e likely to resign are characterised in com- petent quarters as unfounded. \ Greek Cabinet Called. | A THENS, Greece, Bept. 22.—(Via Lon- ‘don )—Om receipt of news that Bulgaria ihad ordered a general mobilization of her troops King Constantine summoned to conference Premier Venizelos and the members of the general staff of the army.
