A, “Billy” Sunday’s sermon yester- day afternoon was an argument with those sects and individuals who say there is no everlasting torment for such as reject Christ and a debate with those sects which hold that hell is not eternal, but that a person goes there after death to be purged and finally admitted to heaven. “I am surer that there is a hell, an everlasting hell than I am that the sun will rise tomorrow morning,"” he declared. “On what grounds do you argue that heaven is eternal and hell {sn’t? On the grounds that you're an idiot. I have read the Bible and studied it with all the best commentaries and 1 have never found one single versq that gives the faintest iota of ground for such a belief and I defy any man to prove to me by scripture that it Is so. If there’s a reward there must be punishment. “Some preachers try to lull the soul into a false feeling of security by repudiating the doctrine of hell. They do it to be popular with a certain gang. I won't adjust God's truth to sult your miserable way to living. If you won't belleve there's & hell you can go to the devil tor all I care. To perdition with those who try to say there is no hell. They're w0 low down I wouldn't spit on them." Quotes Scripture, He quoted numerous scripture serses to prove the everlasting nature of hell, “Hell isn't & college,” he said, “where| you enter as a freshman and graduate after your senior year with wings. If a man serves the devil, he'll go to hell.| That's right and proper. If a man trans- greases man's law he goes to the peni- tentiary. That's right and proper. God is a judge and a judge has nothing to do with mercy after the law bas been broken."" The meeting was remarkable In that “Brighten the Corner Where You Are” was not sung. “Rody” Is Absent. “Rody" wasn't there and George Brew- ster led the singing. After the audienco had rendered two old-time favorites “Billy"” surprised them by breaking an-| other rule. He announced a hymn him- self and with a sweeping motion bade the audience rise and sing and put some; vim into it. He himself led the singing. It was a large afternoon audience again, nearly 6,000 being present. . The Weather Femperatare at Omaha Yesteraay, |F- B: Golden of Omaha, grand mes- Hour.

Mellen, former president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rallroad company, was characterized by Frank L. Swacker,| the federal attorney, as a “frankly| hostile witness” during the continua-| tion of his testimony today at the trial of the eleven New Haven di- rectors under the Sherman law, the attorney succeeded, nevertheless, in pecuring, through Mr, Mellen, what Js desmed some of the most fmpor- tamt points against the defendants contained in the government’s case. Mr. Melle frankly conceded that the carly competition between the New Haven road and the New York & New England, which it subsequently absorbed, was of the cut-throat variety, He tes- tified that it was a state rivalry between the Boston & Maine and the New Haven that led up to the agreement by which the two roads agreed to keep out of each others' territory, Identifies Minutes. He Mentified minutes of the board of directors’ meeting with the New York Central to kéep other roads from enter- ing New York City. He told how the New Haven had secured control of two of the New York & New England’s con- nections with the New York and cut them off. With evident relish, ho related the story of having, as manager of the New England, brought the New Haven to its knees by threatening a rate cut, and of making such & “nuisance of himself that he was virtually bought off by the New Haven with an offer of the vice presi- dency of the road, which he accepted. This was in 1892, The possibility that former President Willlam Howard Taft would be called by the government was suggested to newspapermen today in a note passed over to thelr table by one of the de- fendants’ counsel.
