Sunday Describes How He
"Hit the Trail."
Famous Evangelist Tells of His Con
vention In ( hli-K at Pacific Gar
den Mission Many Years Ago.
THE story of Billy Sunday's conver
sion has recently been called up
on account of the death of Harry Mun
roe, of the Pacific Garden Mission in
Chicago. Mr. Munroe led Billy Sunday
to the penitent's bench and inspired the
forensic preacher to his life as an
evangelist some 30 years ago. Rev.
Mr. Sunday recently retold the story of
his "hitting the trail."
"Thirty years ago," said Mr. Sunday,
"I walked down a street in Chicago in
company with some ballplayers who
wore famous in this world some of
them are dead now and we went into
a saloon. It was Sunday afternoon and
we got tanked up, and then went down
and sat on a corner. I never go by
that place but I pray. It is in Van
iiuren street, Chicago.
"As I said," he continued, "we
walked down the street to the corner.
It was a vacant lot at that time. We
eat down on the curbing. Across the
Ktreet a company of men and women
were playing horns, flutes, trombones
and the others were singing the gos
pei nymns mat i used to hear my
mother sing back in a log cabin in
Iowa, and back in the old church
where I used to go to Sunday school.
"And God painted on the canvas of
my memory a vivid picture of the
scenes of other days and other faces.
Many have long since turned to dust.
I sobbed and sobbed and a young man
stepped out and said:
" 'We are going down to the Pacific
Garden Mission; won't you come down
to the mission? I am sure you will en
joy it. You can hear drunkards tell
how they have been saved and girls
tell how they have been saved from the
red-light district.
Some Mocked Me.
I arose and said to the boys: 'I'm
through. We've come to the parting of
the ways.' I turned my back on them,
ome of them laughed and some of
them mocked me; one of them gave me
encouragement; others never said
word.
"Thirty years ago I turned and left
that little group on the corner of State
and Madison streets, walked to the lit
tle mission, went on my knees and
staggered out of sin into the arms of
jny Savior.
"I went over to the West Side of Chi
cago, where I was keeping company
with a girl, now my wife. Nell. I mar
ried Nell. She was a Presbyterian, so
I am a Presbyterian. Had she been a
Catholic I would have been a Catholic
because I was hot on the trail of
Nell.
"The next day I had to go to the ball
park and practice. Every morning at
10 o'clock we had to be out there and
practice. I never slept that night. I
was afraid of the horse laugh that
gang would give me because I had
taken my stand for Jesus Christ.
"I walked down to the old ball
grounds. 1 will never forget it. I
slipped my key into the wicket gate
REV. J. A. LORD, supply pastor at
the First Christian Church, Park
and Columbia streets, will speak on
"False Greatness and True" at the
morning service. In the evening his
subject will be "Religion of All Outdoors."
Mrs. Mabel Orton Wilson will be the
soloist. In the morning she will sing
"Out of the Depths" (James K. Rodgers)
and in the evening, "God That Madest
Earth and Heaven" (Wilfred Sander
son).
The soloists for the last two Sun
days in August will be W. Hardwick
August 20 and Mrs. G. F. Alexander,
August 27. The quartet will resume its
work in September. Mrs. Frederick B.
Newton is at the organ.

talks on China. Mr. Clark is the sec
retary of the boys' department of the
Y. M. C. A. at Shanghai, China, and
will give interesting information con
cerning China and the Chinese people.
St. Johns Congregational Church is
prospering under the leadership of
Rev. Mr. Barnett. A large congregation
attended last Sunday, when Mrs. Jessie
O. Steckle sang a special solo.
In Memphis, Tenn., there is a Catholic
parish, St. Anthony's, made up entirely

LOVE OF .GOD ENFOLDS MANKIND AND IN IT IS FOUND HOPE
Love, Declares Rev. W. O. Shank, Pastor of East Side Baptist Church, Is World's Greatest Power It Enriches, Ennobles and Inspires the Mind.
I John iv:16 "God is love."
HAPPY are the people who are
living in this 20th century! It
is the greatest age of human
history; in point of achievements,
of possibilities, of opportunities, of ac
cess to natural resources, of enjoyment
of riches, of friend-
chin nf Hch idpals: v-fc--.- -
nut. it i v . i, r
the greatest era
known to man for
the outpouring of
Ood's love. His
love grips the hu
man race; we are
baptized with it, the
air is full of it; wc
breathe it: we f .,.
tt in our hearts; we ft-Sft.
see its power mam- n,v w 0. shl,Blt.
rest everywhere; tlie
mantle of God's love is given upon
ecn one of ns to protect, to warm and
to comfort us. Never was there such
a manifestation of God's love as now.
Love is the greatest power, and the
greatest thought that ever passed
throtigh the mind of man. It enriches,
e.nnobles and inspires the mind to 'he
highest and best intellectual attain
ment. Love Is the sweetest thing- that ever
entered the human heart. It leaves
peace, calm and joy. Where love abides,
there is a warmth, a glow, a passion
lor purity and righteousness.
Love sparkles in the heart just as a
diamond sparkles in the dark night.
It is said that a diamond never sparkles
unless a ray of light falls upon it. So
the soul of man never sparkles in the
blackness of sin until the ray of God's
love penetrates it.
Our text says, "God is love." What
a wonderful thought this is. Suppose
he was a God of hate, ruling man in
the passion of hate? What sort of a
world would this be?
God Is Love In His Nature.
Love is the fundamental attribute of
his nature. The very essence of his
being is love. God's nature is not made
up of different substances like that or
man. Scientists tell us that man's body
when analysed is found to consist of
certain chemicals, such as water, lime,
carbon, phosphorous and iodine. But
God's nature, when reduced to the last
piritual analysis, is found to contain
only the essence of love.
God's love is unchangeable. It is the
same for ever and ever. No matter
when or how we approach God, we find
him to be the same. God is not like
man, who is changeable in his mooda.
od has no moods but one. and that is
love. Man has many moods, and we
never know just what mnod we wilt
find man in. The reason God has only
one mood is because he is a God of
love. The reason man has many moods
is because .of sin working in his souL
Sin changes man's moods.
God's love abides. It will never cease
or grow cold. It remains the same for
ever; that is, it cannot exhaust itself,
nor lose its strength and essence.
Astronomers, say that the sun. in
order to throw out heat and light, i
shrinking 180 feet each year. It is
this shrinking process that forces out
heat and light. According to this in
millions of years the sun will grow
dark and cold. But God's love will
never expend itself. His love is not
the. energy of his will. It has quality;
it has essence; it is God himself. Just
as radium is a unit of itself, possessing
inherent Qualities which are unchange
able, maintaining its own' heat (1.5
degrees) and emitting heat radiations
without decrease in its energy; so
God's love abides the same, now and
forever, throughout all eternity.
"My God, how endless is thy love.
Thy eMfts are every evening new.
And morning mercies from above
Gently distil like early dew."
God's love finds its highest expres
sion in the gift of his son. God loved
his son with his whole heart. To him
Jesus was the dearest of all objects.
No father ever loved his child as God
loved his son. There was nothing in
all the realm of creation, in heaven or
on earth, so important in the father's
sight as Jesus. And why did he love
him? Because he was obedient to his
will and entered into his plans and
divine purposes and because Jesus was
lovable. We love a person just in pro
portion to the lovableness of that per
son. That is why some people are
loved more than others. They are more
lovable. Dear reader, if you are alone,
without friends, unloved, perhaps it is
because you are unlovable. Merit the
love of others and the whole world
will love you.
C.od I.ov rd Man as "We 1 1.
But God not only loved his son. but
he loved man also! As he looked down
upon man and saw man striving to
free himself from his limitations, from
sin and his enxironment; &s he saw
the. good in man and the great pos
sibilities of his achievement, God
pitied man. His great warm heart went
out in love to man. so much so that
he sacrificed the dearest thing to his
heart for man's redemption his only
begotten son. "God so loved the world
that he gave his only begotten son that
whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life."
Friends, nothing would have sent
Jesus Christ to earth, as a living sacri
fice for man. but the love of God. That
love reached the highest possible
climax in the gift of his son.
Holiness would not have saved man,
for holiness, without love. Is cold and
exacting. Holiness repels the vile sin
ner. It draws its skirts aside from
the contamination of the world.
Sympathy could not have saved man.
Sympathy understands the heart pangs
and sufferings of man and sympathy
would do all In its power for man, but
the heart needs go deeper than sym
pathy.. Sympathy may wipe away the
tears, it may even soothe a broken
heart, but it never can remove the
underlying cause of man's ailment
sin.
Mercy could not succor man. Mercy
stood helpless in man's distress; though
she could plead with all the passion
of her soul, yet mercy was not suffi
cient to move the father's heart to
sacrifice his son and redeem sinful
man; it took no less a power than
love to perform this wonderful act.
Ah. love! Thou art matchless! Thou
art the queen of all virtues. Thou
thinkest not of thyself, but for others
would yield. Love, love, sweet love!
Thou art the joy of my life!
God's love is the spiritual dynamic
in the Christian religion.
The world is full of religions, but
many of them are wrong: all of them
are wrong, except one. If all the re
ligions In the world were right, none
of them would be worth having. Only
that religion is worth having which
will stand the following test: First, it
must have a sinless author. When we
study the great religions of the world
we find only the Christian religion bas
a sinless author Jesus Christ. Not one
dare say aught of his life. It was spot
less. Secondly, it must be unselfish.
Christianity is the only religion that
is unselnsh. Its nature is to give,
to share with others. Jesus said:
"It is more blessed to give than
to receive." and he carried this
out In his earthly ministry. "1
, came not." says the mi- "r. "to be
ministered unto, but to minister." "A
good shepherd will give his life for his
sheep." Jesus gave all that he had
for the redemption of man.
Trip Rellnrlasi Is Ktrra.l.
Love always carries a gift with It;
selfishness always reaches out for a
gift. Here is the philosophy that will
solve all Ills: all human problems; the
love of God in the hearts of the people.
Thirdly, a true religion must be
eternal. Christianity Is the only re
ligion that claims to be "from everlast
ing to everlasting." Jesus says: "I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end, the first and the last." No
other founder ever dared to make such
a bold statement. He would have been
laughed to scorn had he done so. for
only God could say that.
Now. for a religion to be effective
it must possess two things: A dynamic
or motive power back of It, and an
objective worth while In front of It.
The motive power of Islamism was
t"e sword, of Hinduism it Is mysticism,
of Buddhism It is ethical purity, of
Confucianism It Is ancestralism. But
the motive power of Christianity .Is
love. The great dynamic power of love
drives on and on. until Christianity is
outdistancing all other religions.
The objective of these former relig
ions is self-perpetuation. But the ob
jective of Christianity is man. Ah. with
love back of it and man in front of it.
Christianity becomes the greatest of all
religiona; the only one worth while.
Lciwa t the Lost Sheen.
Love is untiring. It will brave the
storm, enter the wilds of the unex
plored, meet the enemy, challenge dis
ease and face death in search of its
object. Jesus taught us a beautiful
lesson in the parable of the lost sheep.
"What man of you having a hundred
sheep would not leave the ninety and
nine in the wilderness and go in search
of that which was lost?" Now here la
the beauty of this parable: "until he
findeth it." Jesus Christ searches for
lost man until he findeth him and
brings him safely into the shelter of
the heavenly fold. It is this untirlnK
element In love that sends the minis
ters, the missionaries and others out
Into the big world in search of lost
manhood and womanhood.
Love is sweet music to the soul. It
is said that the lark will sing In the
morning, the thrush at the noon -hour
and the nightingale at night. But love
sings with an angelic voice both day
and nisht. Ah, love makes us glad.
"My soul Is too great and too glad to
be at heart the enemy of any man."
Love will build empires. The soul
possesses three great faculties, the
feelings and the will. Each of these
soul faculties has built empires, but
they will not stand.
Greece was an empire built upon the
intellect- That nation furnished the
scholar, the poet, the philosopher and
the sage. Socrates, Plato. Aristotle, Ho
mer and Demosthenes these were some
of j.he brilliant minds of Greece. But
where is that nation today? Gone!
Palestine was ah emotional nation.
The Hebrew people were moved by feel
ings. Look at the heart cries of Jere
miah. Hear the weepings of the people
In captivity. They have hung their
harps upon the willows, and as they
think of Palestine, the homeland, they
weep floods of tears.
Ah. listen to the classics of King
tavid. in the Psalms. His national and
religious songs are full of passion and
feeling. But where is the Hebrew race
today? Gone!
Love Build Kverlastlngly.
Home was built upon will power. She
was a nation of iron nerve. Her clas
sics and poems are full of glorious vic
tories, of wars and achievements. But
where is Rome today? Gone!
Ah. but love builds an empire that
shall stand for ever and ever. Jesus
Christ selects his own. He builds a
nation upon the priciple of love, and
that nation shall never perish. Napo
leon said: "Alexander. Charlemagne and
myself have built empires, but upon
what did we build? I'pon force" But
Jesus Christ built an empire upon love,
and millions are following him to this
day.
Fourth God's love Is mandatory in
Is requirements.
He requires us to love each other.
"A new commandment I give unto you.
that ye love one another: as I have
loved you. that ye also love one an
other." Again it Is written. "We love
because he first loved us." Io you
know the true meaning of this pas
sage? "We love because he first loved
us"; that Is, because God loved us he
made it possible for us to love with a
newer and greater love than we had
ever known before. He imparted his
divine love in our hearts, so that now
we can love each other as lie loved us.
God set eternity in our hearts whea
he loved us. He awakened latent pow
ers, he quickened new forces, he set
on fire finer passions and higher ideals
than was ever knon in the human
heart before. Now we can love with
the power and sweetness of his divine
love, because he first loved us.
Oh, that the world might be full of
the sweet, warm, vitalizing love of
God! That all our thought, all our ac
tions, all our dealings with each other
might be in the pure, refreshing, glo
rious love of the Father! That there
might be a stream of love flowing from
every heart, like the crystal waters
from the bubbling fountains; then we
could say:
My J.iui. I bfve thee. I know thou art
mine:
For thfe-all th. fo'.li of aln I renlim.
Mv nr.ciou Tdeemer. my Mvlnr sit thou.
If ever 1 loved tli: my Jt-u. 'tis nuw.
I
