CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, MAN- 
_ CHESTER, APPROVES OF EVAN- 
4 GELIST. 
Manchester has a champion of the 
Rev. Charles A. 
Hatch, pastor of the Congregational 
church believes that the Rev. Billy 
is the greatest evangelist in modern 
times and that his coming to Boston 
next fall will be a great benefit to that 
city and to all New England as weil 
In his sermon last Sunday evening 
Mr. Hatch told why he believed that 
_ the coming of the baseball evangelist 
would be productive of good. 
mThe jast. two years,” he said, 
“have brought into proninence from 
comparative obscurity many men who 
have influenced the public. New 
statesmen have come into prominence, 
generals, previously untried, have 
proven their worth in the past two 
years. The greatest evangelist in 
modern times has also come into the 
limelight. His popularity is not tem- 
porary, but it is lasting. The popu- 
larity of other great evangelists of the 
‘past is but a shadow, compared with 
tuat of Billy Sunday.” 
Mr. Hatch said there was much to 
criticize in Billy Sunday’s deliverance 
of the gospel and much to criticize in 
his theology. He thought, however, 
that in spite of his difficulties, Bully 
Sunday was accomplishing efficient 
work in the spreading of the gospel. 
He said that those who criticize his 
methods are those who have not seen 
him nor heard him. Most everyone 
alters his opinion after hearing the 
athletic preacher. He quoted as an 
example, the clergyman, who oppos- 
ed Billy Sunday’s coming to Syra- 
cuse and who “hit the trail” when 
Sunday arrived. . Mr. Hatch said 
that Sunday was criticized because he 
was not an educated man. Neither 
were the apostles learned men, but 
they were great teachers; Moody was 
not an educated man. “In spite of 
his lack of education, Mr. Sunday is 
a vehicle of Grace,” he said. 
Mr. Sunday is criticized because 91 
the language he uses on the platform, 
but Mr. Hatch believes that he 
reaches people in this way who could 
be reached by no other speaker. Some 
people do not like Mr. Sunday’s de- 
nunciation of his hearers. Mr. Hatch 
said that he thought it was a good 
thing to wake people up once in a 
while. Every minister would like to 
talk to his congregation “straight from 
the shoulder,” but that he had to re- 
member the source of his salary. 
People say that Mr. Sunday makes 
too much money, and they want to

know what he does with it. Mr. 
Hatch said that it was nobody’s busi- 
ness what was done with the money, 
but added that Mr. Sunday was do- 
ing a great deal of good with his 
money assisting needy persons and 
educating many young people. 
“Some people say, ‘1 do not he- 
Heavyeni revivals; shecsaidey* Phe 
ereatest revival in the history of the 
world was the ‘Day of Pentacost.’”’ 
He said that emotion and the spirit 
of enthusiasm were necessary in re- 
ligion. Professor James was quoted 
as an authority for the statement that 
the majority of people won to religion 
at revivals remained identified with 
religion afterwards 
Mr. Hatch urged his congregation 
to attend the Sunday meetings in 
Boston next October and to influence 
as many more as they could, to go. 
What reason and endeavor cannot 
bring about, time often will.
