Sunday Campaign Ends
In Baltimore.
The Billy Sunday campaign which has
been going on in Baltimore for the last
eight weeks came to a close Sunday night
last.
Billy Sunday, the great evangelist of
the age, has undoubtedly given Baltimore
city a groat amount of advertising and
attracted to that city thousands of peo
ple who, had not Billy Sunday been
there, possibly would never have seen
Baltimore. His sermons published in
the city papers no doubt were read by
thousands who were not in the habit of
reading sermons, and his name was men
tioned by thousands who never saw nor
heard him speak.
Billy Sunday’ we believe, has done an
immense amount of good for those at
tending his meetings, but as is the case
in all such meetings, not all who hit the
trail keep to the straight and narrow
path.
Four meetings were held Sunday anil
it is estimated that 96,000 people were at
the tabernacle. This estimate is made
on the capacity of the building, and had
there been a new crowd at each meeting
that many would have heard h'm. It is
certain that many persons attended more
than one service. The Baltimore Sun,
Monday morning says:
Four congregations packed the Taberna
cle at Twenty-ninth street and Green
mount avenue yesterday to hear the evan
gelist preach his final day of the eights
weeks’ revival.
It was a day that will long he remember
ed in Baltimore, a fitting climax to the
most remarkable campaign of any charac
ter that the Monumental City has ever
seen. The multitudes of men and women
and children that heard Billy say goodbye
were stirred to their depths. And, wish
ing to express in a tangible way their
appreciation of the evangelist and his co
workers and to give thanks for the relig
ions upheaval which Sunday brought to
Baltimore, they opened their purses and
poured thousands of dollars in gold and
silver, checks and bills, at his feet as a
free-will offering.
At the for.r meetings of the day in
which hhe evangelist preached the fam
ous “pans” were circulated through the
Tabernacle by the ushers and came back i
heaping with envelopes. This moneywas j
rushed under guard to the Bank of Com- j
merce, where, when the last consignment j
had been delivered, it towered in a heap
that was fairly staggering.
There was bushels of it. None dared
hazard anything more than a rough guess
as to the total amount, for the mass was
made up of coins and bills of all denomi
nations and checks, running from a nom
inal sum to SI,OOO. It was the prevail
ing opinion, however, that the total would
run close to $50,000.
Billy Sunday, his face streaming with i
perspiration, stood on his pulpit in the
Tabernacle last night, and bade Baltimore !
farewell. Twenty-four thousands wept
without restraint until the great build
ing murmured with an undercurranl of
sobbing.
He was praying, summing up in his
prayer as Billy Sunday alone does, and
suddenly he was mixing prayer with the ;
farewell which he dreaded to utter, which
thousands who had been flocking to his j
services for weeks dreaded to bear;
“And until the judgment day brtaketh
I bid you farewell. It is an hour 1 have
dreaded to see come.
“Good-by, Baltimore.”
The final meeting was scheduled to be
gin at 7 o’clock’ At 5 o’clock the second
service of the afternoon was concluded
and the congregation forced to leave.
It had taken about 15 minutes to empty
the building, for that congregation had
been made up of 22,000 members. Those
out side and some of those who had been ,
forced to leave tried to enter as soon as (
the doors werd reopened. Thev brushed
past police and doorkeepers, and within ]
15 minutes had packed the building again.
Most notable among the many record-1
breaking features of the concluding ser- j
vice was the number of trail-hitters. '
Nine hundred and fourteen men and women
and children pressed up the trail and grasp
ed Sunday’s hands- for he was forced to
use both right and left hand.
This was nearly double the record of
any preceeding service. With 260 con
verts listed at the morning service,379 at
the service for men in the early after
noon and 270 for the service that started ;
at 3,30 P. M.., the day’s total was bro’t |
to I,B43—and the grand total for the Hal- j
nimore campaign to more than 23,000. i
The total attendance at the Taberna- •
acle reached the monster total of more j
than 1,375,000 souls, of this number there
were those, of course, who attended many
services. It is safe to hazard, however, [
that half or more of Baltimore’s 600,000 i
residents listened to Sunday at least once. '
The Sundays left Baltimore Monday !
morning. The entire party will meet in j
Chicago Friday and go thence to Kansas j
City wheraf the campaign opens next
Sunday mining.
Play Well Patronized.
Mt. Airy Ladies Please Thur
niont Attendeuce.
Monday evening last an entertainment
1 was given in Town Hall, this place, by
S young ladies from Mt. Airy, under aus
pices of the Mite Society of St. John’s
Lutheran church,
j The first psrt of the program, “Pur-
I ishment After School,” was in panto
| mime. The teacher, Prof. J. Russell
Young, had quite a lively bunch of stu
| dents, they being up to all sorts of
1 tricks in the schoolroom One pupil, for
bad behavior, was detained after school
hours Sympathy for the girl touched
the heart of the Professor and soon he
was making love to her. The scene
closes with the professor on his knees
• proposing.
I “When F< nd Hopes Have Flown” was
! the title of the second part of the pro
; gram, the story being that of a young
lady who loves company, young men
especially, and who lives in a town where
young men are very few. She finds life
I lonely and longs for company. A girl
j friend announces the coming of one of
her girl friends and her brother. The
fond hopes of seeing a man brightens the
life of the lonely girl. Announcement of
the coming of the brother is made to all
; girl friends and great preparations are
made for his arrival. The girl arrives,
meets the company assembled, and after
prolonged waiting for the brother she
1 brings in her baby brother, announcing
at the same time that the brother her
hostess and friends expected to m el had
been married and was on his wedding
tour “when fond hopes had flown
i The ladies were quite at home on the
i stage and I heir presentation of the play
was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Chilly Easter Weather.
Hark Clouds And Cool Air
Cirvailrd All Hay.
Hopes for a bright, bulrnv Faster day
were blighted to a more or less degree
last Sunday. Heavy clouds and threat
j ening obscured the sun mostof the lime,
• and the cold air stirring made heavy
wraps ami overcoats feel good to those
j who wore out.
The attendance at the various churches
j at morning and evening services was
very large—in fact greater th n has been
I seen for some years Communion was
held atjseveral churches during the morn
■ ing. Sunday afternoon and evening var
; ious Sunday Schools held Easter services,
[ ths music at each being unusually bright
i and well rendered.
1 Owing to the chilly air few people
; were out Sunday afternoon fora stroll to
the mountains or other points of interest
i about town.

Safe Medicine for Children.
“Is it safe?” is the question to be con
sidered when buying cough medicine for
children. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
has long been a favorite with mothers of
young children as it contains no opium or
other narcotic, and may be given to a
child as confidently as to an adult. It is
pleasant to take, too, which is of great
importance when a medicine must be
given to young children. This remedy is
most effectual in relieving coughs, colds
and croup. Obtainable everywhere.

Girls’ and Misses Hats.
If you come in to see these sweetly trimmed hats that Sugar

Nobody but Sugar would ever think of giving you a great bar

of the big city stores might be able to give you values just as good,
but the fact is they are not willing to do it like Sugar is. The
dresses are handsomely trimmed with embroidery S

Shoulder Broken.
Last Sunday night while on his way
home, Mr. Lloyd Webb was thrown from
his bicycle on the State Road His left
shoulder was broken and his body bruised
considerable. Mr. Webb says it all hap
pened very quiclc and he thinks the wheel
must have struck a stone or skidded.
After the accident he walked to the
home of a friend, from which place a
physician was called.
Why Constipation Injures.
The bowels are the natural sewerage
system of the body. When they become
obstructed by constipation a part of the
poisonous matter which they should carry
off is absorbed into the system, making
you feel dull and stupid, and interfering
with the digestion and assimilation of
food. This co dition is quickly relieved
by Chamberlain’s Tablets. Obtainable
everywhere.
