“I’d like to see the day,” said Sunday, “when there wouldn’t be a store open on Saturday night. I can’t see to save my gizzard why it’s necessary. People can do their shopping early. If they’d close the stores Saturday evening the same as on other days, the church attendances would be doubled. But of course, when you do anything to help humanity, some yellow dog has got to block it. And you employers and proprietors sit around in the churches and wonder why the attendance is so small, when you’re to blame yourself by making your employes work themselves to death so that they are too tired to go to church.” [Illustration: BILLY SUNDAY AT THE AGES OF 20 AND 22 YEARS.] OTHERS SUFFER FROM YOUR SINS. “When you come staggering home, cussing right and left and spewing and spitting, your wife suffers, your children suffer, you infernal old devil. Don’t think that you are the only one that suffers. You’re placing a stain on your wife and your children. If you’re a dirty, low-down, filthy, drunken, whisky-soaked bum you’ll affect all with whom you come in contact. If you’re a God-fearing man you will influence all with whom you come in contact. You can’t live by yourself. “Personal liberty is not personal license. Our forefathers did not fight and die for personal license, but for personal liberty bounded by laws. Personal license is the liberty of a red-handed anarchist. Personal license is the liberty of a burglar, of a seducer, of a raper, of a wolf that wants to remain in a sheep fold, or the fox in a henroost.” LESSONS FROM STORY OF PILATE. Pilate was a pliable, plastic, rathole, stand pat, peanut, lunch counter politician of his day. Pilate sent Jesus to an innocent death to please the machine politicians. Away with your hell-born, stinking lie of Unitarianism that Jesus was not a good man. He was either the Son of God or a fraud and liar, and I believe Him to be the Son of God. God keeps no half-way house. It’s either heaven or hell for everyone. A millionaire will go to hell just as fast as a hobo counting the ties on a railroad, if he doesn’t live true to God. I challenge all the infidels on the earth to find one flaw in the character of Jesus Christ. Even if Jesus wasn’t the Son of God I would worship Him anyway, for he is my ideal. I can’t conceive a grander character. MORAL TRUTHS BILLY GAVE TO MEN. Lyman Beecher was the father of more brain than any other man. It’s everybody’s business how you live. Law stands between you and personal liberty. I brand that man with a black brand whose iniquities are responsible for the fall of others. No man lives to himself alone. No man will argue that sin is a good thing. It doesn’t take boys long to get on the wrong track. There are little frizzled top sissies who know more about vice than their gray-haired grandmothers. As a rule a man wants something better for his children than he had himself.
