Billy Sunday's Epigrams

i Bily Sunday's Epigrams. At Canon City, Colo., Billy Sunday, the evangest, has the devil pretty badly rattled. The people are coming in from the country from great distance to hear him. One of his epigrams the other day ran thus: ''I have known church memoers to sing: 'Throw Out the Life Line' when they did not have enough spiritual strength to put Up a clothesline." In fact Mr. Sunday shows himself to b3 an excellent patagrapher and could probably make a fair living at the trade on any newspaper, Following are some • of the paragraphs In a recent sermon; j "What you do Is of vastly more im- > portance than what you know. |J "Many churches have degenerated i into vast amusement bureaus, j "Nowadays you think more of a pedi- j gree tban you do of a principle, | "Why the world don't join the church | Is because tlie church has joined the ' world. I " Tho church is all right when siie is ] In the world, but all wrong when tlie j world is to her. '•You can go to hell even if you have gray matter enough to lill a hogshead, "I am sometimes surprised that (iod is doing as well as lie is with the material He has to work with."
