CONGREGATION OF EVANGELIST’S 
METHODS. 
“Tt is as easy to describe Niagara 
Falls or a great work of art as it is to 
describe Billy Sunday,” said E. C. 
Pauling, a Salem business man, who 
spoke at the Baptist church in Man- 
chester last Sunday evening on the 
methods of the famous evangelist. 
Then Mr. Pauling proceeded to try 
to describe the inimitable Sunday. 
“T heard him in the auditorium at 
Ocean Grove, N. J., as one of a 
crowd of 10,000. We saw him the 
day before when only 5000 turned 
out to see him as he did not speak 
that day. The people were there for 
a vacation, but he wasn’t, although 
you would think he’d need a vacation 
after every sermon. He _ preaches 
from a little stand set apart from the 
main platform. The pulpit is a plain 
board—and it is flat, for he is apt to 
stand on top of it. It took the crowd 
outside the auditorium just five min- 
utes. to fill the big building when the 
doors were opened two hours before 
the sermon. 
“Billy Sunday does not theorize, 
nor philosophize—he proclaims. He 
says ‘conventionalism is the death of 
religion,’ and came into the pulpit 
wearing white trousers and_ shoes. 
You have heard of him taking off 
his coat in the pulipt. He does, but 
not to be spectacular. It was ex- 
tremely warm and he was perspiring 
profusely. 
“Take the average minister’s cli- 
max, multiply it by five and you have 
an idea of the tension at which he 
starts to preach. He reaches a ten- 
sion indescribable. He condemns the 
spirit of some Christian Endeavorers, 
who repeat their ‘the Lord watch be- 
tween me and thee’ and then go out 
on a good time. He says the Lord 
would have a busy time watching 
some of them.” 
Mr. Pauling quoted extracts from 
the five sermons he heard Billy Sun- 
day preach and described the manner 
of delivery of telling points. Com- 
menting upon the big collections 
taken in at the Sunday meetings he 
said, 
“Billy Sunday took in $6000 in six 
days at Ocean Grove. Pretty good 
pay, you say; $1000 a day. Let me 
tell you what he did with it. When 
he finished his work he turned over 
the entire sum to a fund for the 
founding of a home for wornout min- 
isters. You read of the big collec- 
tions at various cities. The first four 
days’ collections go toward the ex- 
pense of the meetings and Sunday
