FIGHT BOOZE !
IN MARYLAND!
-1?
Evangelist Invited to Ad
dress Legislature on
Prohibition Bill.
Billy Sunday was asked yesterday
to lake a trip over to Annapolis and
address the Maryland legislature,
now In session, on State-wide prohi
bition. Force? behind the movement
to make Maryland "bone dry" ?re re
sponsible for the invitation to Billy.
The evangelist hasn't yet'decided to
accept It. But It Is expected he?wlll?
if the legislature want? him to dis
cuss the problem.
Billy Sunday's persistent antagon
ism to the liquor traffic has led those
in Maryland who are trying to make
the State dry to believe that if he
talks on the "boose ?question" before
the legislature the effect wilt possibly
be passage of the prohibition meas
ure.
His antagonism to trie boose Inter
ests of the country ha? made It? ef-1
feet apparent in many sections. It
waa largely through Billy Sunday's
efforts In connection with his recent
I-os Angeles campaign that the coun
ty In which Ixvs Angeles Is situated
voted Itself dry. Billy conducted a
strenuous "antl-boose campaign" and
won hands down.
Hopea Ta Be ?? Fanerai.
Billy Insists that he will "live long
enough to preach the funeral service
of the liquor traffic In thia country."
He declares that the recent action
ot Congress In submitting the pro
hibition amendment to the vsrious
States is th* "final step*' to "drive
back Into the pits of perdition, the
dastardly liquor traffic, which has
wriggled itself out of the depths of
hell."
The evangelist insists that he will
(o to "almost any limit" to vote
out booze. And there Is every' Indlca
tioii that if the legislature of Mary
land wants Billy to go ?to Annspolis
and tell It a "few things" about
booze and prohibition, he will go over
and preach his famous sermon on
?'Boose." This sermon, Billy say?,
has made him more ei_mies and more
frienda than any he has ever
preached.
Maryland now lias local option and
it is planned to bring up the pro
hibition measure at this session ot
the legislature.
BILLY AND MA VISIT

and then aihbled back to hi? chr. The
big building was crowded with clerk?
and attache? anxious for a linai
glimpse at Billy. The evangelist
waved a batch of farewells and waa

In his/ car.
After the visits. Ma Sunday decided
to do a little shopping. And Billy
went along.

atlon. And the hath and massage
treatment before he goes bome was
recommended by Dr. Howard A.
Kelly, of Johns Hopkins, as a pre
caution against cold.
Billy doesn't look the physical mar
vel that he Is. His skin ?a as clear
and a? delicate as a child'?. No great
muscle? ?stand out In hia body. In
fact, he looks much thinner than
when he's dressed. He's not an'
Apollo?not by a long shot! Put him
in tights and he sure couldn't get Into
a "Ben-Hur" chorus. But what Billy's
got in the way of muscle is sure
THERE! He's got a punch that would
keel over a mule.
And Billy says he's feeling better
physically than he did st any time In
his evangelistic career. He sure looks
it. And he showed It at. those three

Washington last night for Chi mem
to arrange for th? Hun-tHv canin:-ign
In that city. Billy and hla patty will
go to Chicago folto wing hla revival

Dr. Walker had charge of all of tha
preliminary work in conaectimi with |
th? Washington i-ampalgn. And HHIv
Sunday himaelf declared that It never*]
had been better done In anyaclty in,
which he han campaigned.
When the ministers of Chicago, five,
years ago, decided to Invite Billy Sun

waa chairman of the invitation com-'
miltee. He was then pastor ?f on?-? j
of th? larg?i-it I'nited Presbyterian '
church?* in that city. Hla preliminary !
work waa so well done that the Sun- !
day party persuaded him eto go ?
"ahead" of the official campaigners.
? "I'd like Tin- Herald to thank the
p?*ople of Wat-hiagton for me." said
I>r. Walker Just before leaving1, "for
the wonderful co-operation they have
given roe in my work. I predict for
Washington the greatest revival in

Personal Workers
Coached by Expert
In the Tabernacle
Personal workers met In th? Hun

"e*oached'' by Dr. Isaac Ward, who
will direct their work during the
revival campaign^
Thia feature of the revival wot* Is
considered one of Ahe most impor
tant phases of the campaign, since
It la largely upon the personal work
ers that the campaigners depend to
help influence men and women to
walk the "aawdust trail" for Christ.
The personal workers will be scat
tered throughout the big attdience
at each service and will appeal di
rectly to those in the crowd whom
they "suspect" can be spiritually
"touched" to take their stand openl.v
for Christianity by walking the trail
and shaking the hand of Billy.
