“If you are well prepared for life you’ll never wear out shoe leather hunting for a job, and you’ll never become blind reading the ‘Help wanted’ ads.” “What songs do the people go daffy over today? Listen and I’ll tell you.” “Love your neighbor as yourself, But let his wife alone; For if you don’t he’ll soon get wise, And then you’ll lose your own.” And here Sunday named some of the popular songs he said were causing divorces. Among them were: “My Wife’s Gone to the Country,” “I Love My Wife, But Oh You Kid,” and “I’ll Trust My Wife With Fifty Men, But With One?—Not On Your Life.” Sunday pointed out five things which he stated he considered necessary qualifications to win in life: Blood, environment, grit, education and religion. He then added that the first four without the fifth meant nothing at all, and pleaded with his youthful audience to trust in God. “It takes more than a mortarboard cap, pipe, peg-top trousers, a cane and your ‘rah, rah, rah,’ to make a man out of you. It takes character and determination. It pays to feed the Bible to the children,” Sunday said. [Illustration: BILLY SUNDAY AT THE AGES OF 24 AND 50 YEARS.] LIVING UP TO ONE’S PROFESSION. You can summon all your card-playing, theatre-going church members and they can’t drive the devil out of a boy as big as a peanut. If you want the world to be better after awhile, then keep the devil out of your boys and girls now. I am an “amen” Christian, but I don’t shout it any louder than I live it. You’re killing religion with your dignity today. Lots of people would go to hell sure if they died out of Lent season. One-half the professing Christians amount to little or nothing as a spiritual force. SOME STRAY SHOTS FOR THE GALLERY. I’m a graduate of the university of poverty and have taken several post-graduate courses there, too. Some of you sing, “I’m standing on the solid rock,” through a set of false teeth that you haven’t paid for yet. Nine-tenths of the church members are bench warmers. “Not my will but”—it costs some of you too much to complete the other three words—“Thine be done.” That’s why your spiritual batting average is only fifteen when it ought to be nine hundred. I’d rather see a child in the mouth of a crocodile than to see it dragged down by some immoral influence. Go into the church and you’ll find most of the bunch nearer the theatre and card party than to Jesus. The nearer to Jesus the more elbow room there is; the farther away you find the biggest crowd. SOME HOT ONES SHOT AT RANDOM. You don’t see the “S. R. O.” (standing room only) signs in the churches; you have to go to the theatre to see them. Show me a church where the minister hasn’t any concern in a spiritual revival, and I will show you a rich, fashionable, third-rate amusement bureau with religion left out. You’ll spend more time and money getting a steer ready for a business deal, than you will to start your boys on a safe trip to heaven.
