§—A THE OMAH/ A SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMI BER 26, 1915, SONDAY TALES T0 M. E. MINISTERS| Tells Them There is Something Wrong with the Preacher When Congregetion Falls Asleep. FEARS TO0 MUCH FORMALITY *If a congregation falters and @windles and folks fall asleep while & pastor preaches God and Christ| Jesus, there is something wrong with the preacher,” “Billy” Sunday told the 450 ministerial delegates and a large adieunce of other people at the Nebraska conference of the Meth- odist chureh Saturday morning. He was Introduced as ‘‘Brother Sun- day,” and the visiting pastors received Mr. and Mrs. Sunday enthusiastically, Fave them the chautauqua salute of wav- Ing handkerchiefs, and also a rising vote of appreciation and thanks. “Ma” Bunday sald a few words before her husband spoke. She “kidded” him about taking longer to dreas for the meeting than she required Retter Quit Preaching. “The pastor whose listeners fall asleep has lost his vision and had better quit preaching,” Mr. Sunday continued. “Nations fall uniess they have great vislons. They won't ever have Kreat visions without the preachers, and the preachers won't have the wisions with- out the word of God and Christ Jesus. “You'll never save souls without a tidal wave of tha old-time religlon.

That s an address to the moralist as well as to the drunkard. It is an address to the soclety woman as well as the woman selling her virtue in the red-light dis- trict. The first thing to remember about be- ing saved is that salvation ls a personal matter, “Seek yeo the Lord”—that means every one must seek for himself, It chilaren; it won't do for the children to seek for the parent. If you were sick all the medicine 1 might take wouldn't do you any good. Halvation is a personal matter that no one else can do for you; you must attend to it yourself, It won't do_you any good If your wife is & Christian. You have got to be some- thing more than & brother-in-law to the church, You may say, “I can’t under- stand all the Bible teaches.” I, but I ean understand some of it; and usually the man who says he can’t un- derstand the Rible isn't living up to what he can understand.

One day he called for his mall as usual and sa luted the postmaster with the hour of the day. The postmaster called him into his office and sald: “Since you havoe been coming to the postoffice 1 have got 80 now that I look for you; und after | you have gone I feel cheered and Inspired. 1 am glad when you come, and am dt appointed if you don't. I have had a pair of boots made for your use. I have left orders for them to make you (ho best pair of boots they can make of the finest and most expensive material money can buy.

He was coming down the street singing ‘Jesus Paid It AN, All to Him I Owe.' 1 said, Tom, why the devil are you singing & song like that this cold morning— when you have to saw wood to keep your home and children and wife warm, and have no mittens to wear?
