Why Call Ye Me Lord

Oh. what a crown awaits for th?
mother of th. W?aleya! I'd rather
b? old Susanna We?ley. with John
aad Charle? aad that brood of kid?
than to hav? been Queen Victoria
with bar Prince of Wale? and the
uowia-d h??d? I would:
Hla Wta-r? Math.r.
A frl.nd of mine riding on a train
out la low? a tallow sitting right be
hind him reached over ?nd touched
him .a th. shoulder ?nd ?aid:
"flay. part, do you believe in a wom
an's love?*?
My friend ?aid. "Yes."
-Wall. I used to, but I changad my
miad about all of them but one," and
ha pot hla head In hi? pocket, ?rail
ed out a piece of paper, unrolled^It?
a photograph?and leaning ovar h?
aho-red tt In front of my friend and
h. ?aid. "That'? my mother."
He ?aid. ?? wa? married. The
tongue? of goes!? ?tau-tad; th?y told
my wife I wa? fai? it was all a lie.
Sha believed them, got a divorce. mar
ried. Horn? broken up." but he ??id.
?That woman'? mother. She would
follow ma ?ero?? th? country and if
I were condemned ?h? would hav? the
ropa put ?round her neck or ?It down
in tha electric chair, and die tor me.
?b. the principle of love I? what
I? going to mov. th. world! W?
don't miss them until they ?r? gone
?many of them. Like a friend of
mia? out in Iowa?he wa? a very
rich termer and hi? latta? boy?h?
didn't pray, didn't think anything
? boat God?and hi? littl. boy was
very sick. He called hi? father to
the bedside on? time and aald:
"Pa, If I die. please don't let >m
bury me In the graveyard over on
th? bill. Th? weed? ?re ao high and
th? owla are over there and I'm
?frakl. Pa. If I die. bury me down
In the pasture under the big elm
tree. Tou do come down there
sometime? to see the hogs and cat
tle."
-let Hla? Hear Me Pray."
And Jim, th? little fellow, died
and they didn't bury him in the
graveyard up on the hill where the
weeds grew so high and the hoot
owls lived. They buried him under
tbe spreading elm In the pasture.
They pet a little pickst tenet,
about it
Jim led me down one day. Lean
ing over the fence he rained tears
down upon the violet? and th? daf
fodils, and he ?aid:
"I'd give all the farm' (and he
owned thousands of acre? In the
black corn belt of Iowa), h? ?aid.
"Bill. I'd give It all if I could only
bring him back and let him hear
me pray."
Tou don't mis? them until they
ar. gone. There are fifteen million
young men In this country between
| the age* of 1? and 35. Fourteen
million of them are not members
of any church. Seven million of
them attend occasionally. Nine mil
lion never darken a church door.
Church memberships increased IS
per cent laat year. The population
increased 1 per cent. Crime in
? creaced 19 per cent and TO per cent
1 of our criminal? ?re young men un
der 21 year? of age.
"Why call ye me Lord. Lord, and
do not the thing? I ?ay??" In your
home ?nd in your family life and In
?ociety?
Wait a minute! I hav? no quarrel
with society?only against th? ?infu.
usages of society. I believe In so
ciety with both hands up hut I b.?
liev? the moat God-forsaken, good
for-nothing, useless woman on

lit? is frapp??, and there 1? nothing,
my friends, to bar but a. frame upon
??hith to hang fashionable clothe?,
?nd a digestive apparatus to digest
highly seasoned food?.
Dallar? ?ad ataadaraVs.
There Is a great tendency to clas
?if y social standings according to dol
lar?, nowadays. A lot of people are
mor? anxious, to get their name? on
tha ?ocial lists than they would b
to get them on Bradstreets or R. G.
Dan. or heaven.
Oh. geniua ?nd talent are choked
by the Insane desire to mould our
?elves according to th? ?ocial de
mands until we become infamous non*
entitle? In the world! And If you
only knew the Inner life of many of
the wealthier claaa you'd know how
unhappy and dissatisfied thesa so
cial butterflies are with their life
?nd with the emptiness of it oil ?nd
th? way they live.
I believe In partie?. Jesu? Christ
didn't ?ay. "When you have a party
?imply Invite In your friends." No:
He said. "Go get the poor, the maim
ed. th? halt th? blind, th? lame; they
can't return tbe compliment, so
there'd b? no recompense." Y'ou ap
ply the gospel and It will abolish
the sin? of ?ociety; it will drive them

Oh. It you can Join gracefully In th?
inanetie? at a dinner you will pa??
muster, hut If you happen to be fa
miliar with anything that the real
men In thi? country ?re doing, and
happen to show familiarity with It
you will be looked upon as a frightful
bore; they will wish that you were
out. Oh, some of our women ar? ?elf

Oh. many of them are empty ?hell?;

about two inches and it lodged a?

he hove and hove, like a ?hip in a

his host aald to him:
"BUI. yoa get down on ?U four?"

(they used to ?hingle houae. with
them when I was a boy ? about that

for twenty or thirty year?, ?nd ?o he
went out and got an old-fashioned
hickory clapboard.
"You get down on .11 fours ?nd
when I hit, you ?waller."
And he wound himself up like a
golf player and he swung round and
he swatted Bill on both hemispheres.
He Jumped up and he ?aid: "My

and acknowledge the God who pro

"Bill, rt wouldn't be fair to put in

OB, we've got a lot of mutts that

during the morning servie? hours
?o that their congregation? might

committee, and his ??Melata?, Rody
gave much praise for the choir or
ganisation work.
Poalnailrr Ckeaee Speak..
Postmaat?r Chanca, chairman of the
executive committee in charge of tbe
revival, wa? introduced by Rody ?a
th? "man who mad? th? revival pos
sible." Mr. Chance spok? of the early
work of th? preliminary campaign
and of the desire of hi? committee
to make th? revival the greatest tn
Washington's history. He was given
a great send-off by tha audience and
wa? complimented by Sunday.
The preliminari?? ovar, Billy started
thing? by telling of hi? pleasure to
be In Washington. He said It waa
worth hi? life'? work and study and
physical hardship? to coma to th? na
tion's first city and preach and he
urged the Christian? of Waahlngto?
"to get In th? gama up to your eye
brow? and go on to Cha last ditch in
i th? batti? between right and wrong."
| Billy emphasised ?that he wa? no
?'?lacker ' and he ple?ded with his
listeners to get behind th? campaign
and puah it to tb? limit.
Billy ??Id a lot of nice thing? about
"Dlxl?" and especlilly about Atlanta
and he pointed to tha South as th?
"coming" section of th? country. He
declared hi? hearer? "needn't lote
any sleep about how ?fate will stand
up in the war ?itustlon." ?ino* be de
clared "*he will be ther? with both
feet when action 1? wanted.' This
brought cheer? from th? audience.
Mr. Sunday wa? bitter in his de
nunciation of the German?, whom he
referred to a* "a bunch of sauer
kraut, welnerwaa?rt. hot-dogs" and he
vehemently denounced the "Prus
sianised Kultur thst had wriggled it?
old carcass out of the pit? of perdi
tion and which I* now trying to spread
Its inf.mous doctrine? over thi? great
world of our?.''
Dea???e?? the Baa?.
"Th?y can't think they can cram
that Kultur down the throat? of
Americans and get away with it?"
shouted Billy, his flsU doubled. "They
can't spit on the flat; of th? United
State? and try and rub out some of
the ?tars and get away with IL Not
on your life."
Billy emphasised that be'? been ?11
over thi? country ahd he hasn't eome
across a Democrat or a Republican.
'?There are no ?uch thing? the?e
f?mes." he declared. "They'r? all
American?, ready to back I'ncle Sam
to the limit; ready to cut out eating.
If necessary, to glv? food to tb? boys
overseas."
A* uaual. Billy had a good word to
?ay for the soldier?. H? Mid they
could have anything 'in the house.''
Secretary Daniela and Speaker Clark
applauded loudly Billy*? patriotic re
ferences and they both smiled broad
ly when the evangelist put th? skids
under the "God-forsaken gang ot cut
throats across the ????."
Billy's sermon wa? on tha Holy
Ghost and th? need for a distinct rec
ognition of tb? Holy Spirit aa a neees

delegation. He praised highly Serbia's
"wonderful fight against the German
horde'* and declared that no nation
on earth had shown more loyalty to
the cause of humanity than haa "little
Serbia" Billy ?poke of the coercion
of Serbia into the ?real war and em
phasised that "the Kaiser thought he
could ?hoot hi? damnable kultur Into
us. too."
"Kultur," shouted Billy, "the kul
tur that cuta off men's bands: that
sit? by and weiche? Turks murder
Innocent women ?nd children; thst
drops bombs on hospitals and kills
th? baby and the old woman. That's
the kind of stuff that they think
they can hand ua over here. But
they can't. We'll show that dirty
bunch that we won't stand for It?
and we'll ?how 'em quick, too."
Billy invited the Serbians to the
platform and when they arose tbe
great crowd went wild with enthu
siasm. It cheered and hurrahed
and shouted and clapped Its hands
| for many minutes. All the while
the delegate.? stood on the platform,
surprised by the reception and al
most bewildered. Non? of them
spoke a vori. But the tears
??iropped down their cheeks as they
acknowledged with frequent bows
| the cheering- and shouting.
The evangelist, after the cheer
ing, walked to the edge of tlio
platform and repeated this:
"My nome is heatless.
My socks are fcetless;
My pantry*? eatless.
My pants ?re seatless.
Gee, how I love the Kaiser."
Billy, at each of his services, paid
high tribute to "Dixie." He declared
last night that "if you're tired of liv
ing and you want to hoar the choir
sing 'Lead Kindly Light' and want to
have the undertaker pump you full of
embalming fluid. Just go down into
Dixie and say ?onwthlng against the
government.??
"The eyes of the world ore on Wash
ington," said the evangelist. "It's the
world's first city. This is God's hour.
And if the city of Washington will get
on its knees the whole esrth would
feel the Influence of God's work In
this great city of power, of wealth and
of influence. Never before in its his
tory ha? Washington had the oppor
tunity It has now to come out solidly
for Christ and to go 'over the top
for Christianity."
Billy's sermon hit the liquor traffic
from every angle. He pictured the
thousands of lives ruined by boose and
of the million? who will stand at the
Judgment day and point their fingers
at the traffic "that drove them to
hell." Billy thanked the Senate and
the House for the vote on the national
prohibition amendment, and declared
he expected to live to preach the
funeral sermon of the booze traffic In
America.
He rapped divorce and the "sins of
society," and ridiculed the girl who
preferred "the ukelele pl?yer and the
cigarette smoker to the honest young
chap in overalls." The sermon was
replete with "Sundeylsms." He In
jected a batch of Sunday "gymnastics"
in his actions, and frequently he ran
acroaa th? platform, jumped on top
of the wooden chair near his pulpit:
climbed to the pulpit itself: pounded
his fist with such force on the rostrum
that many persona In the audience
feared Billy would Injure hia hand
in fact, did all the characteristic Sun
day stunt?, except take off his coat
and vest and collar and necktie. But
that's coming soon! ?
It wa? a wonderful day for Wash
ington?and for Billy.

"Among Sunday** numerou* virtue?
ther? ara two that stand out ilka hat

Montgomery.
"A ?hiver paaeea through the ?Ir

"Some objection? to revival? are

among them. The objector? want
quietness and calmness In religion. I
True, there may be an excess of
emotion in s n y thing. AU beert can
be a crank; all head, a tyrant Head
and heart mu?t be balanced If the
great achievement? ar? to be at

There la a spirit of co-op?ra?icn In

I splendid and inspiring, but often It is '
necessary. Herein 1? often experienced
the great power of enthusiasm. En
thusiastic people make blumler?, but
the feint hearted seldom do anything

very far. If one seeks to arouse a '

there will be no ridicule. But re

a radical change in the German con
stitution.
Offlclal? last night seem satisfied
with the attitude of Lloyd George on
this subject when he declared that,
without presuming to dictate to the
Germen .people, a reform of the Ger
consltut'on would be accepted a? the
best guarantee that Germany could
be trusted In the negotiations which
some day must be opened.
At Mount Vernon yesterday Secre
tary of State Lansing told th? mem
ber? of the Serbian Mission that
Serbia and the United State? are
fighting th. same fight for liberty.
So far as such Informal declaration
can go the speech was interpreted
as pledging the I'nited States to s
the same measure of Justice effected
In the Balkans as Lloyd George in-,
dicated.
The British premier I? also con
sidered to have cleared up President
Wilson's statemenu ss to Austria.
The President has declaren for the
integrity of ?mall nations and at the
same time for the non-dismember
ment of empire?. Lloyd George tells
In detail how this would be carried
out through the erection of a more
solid Austria and the freeing of the
nationalities now dependent upon her.
