BILLY SUNDAY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PRAYER
Dos Our Fathers: Not sinee that First Thanksgiving Day have we had
G so much to thank Thee for. That we dwell together a united Chris
tian Nation from the pine-crowned mountains of Maine to the rose gar
dens of California, from the sanded shores of the Great Lakes to the warm
currents of the Gulf coast, one God, one Flag, for this we think Thee. |
We think Thee that America has been chosen to lead in this struggle for
the preservation of Truth, Justice, Freedom and Liberty and the annihilation
of Autocracy, Oppression, Injustice and Hate. :
We thank Thee that Thou hast so blessed the ground beneath our feet
that it becomes the storehouse of the world. And that the spirit of conser
vation and sacrifice is popular throughout the land so that we may send mil
lions of pounds of food to the millions of hungry mouths over the sea.
Because young men brought up in the comforts of home are enduring the
rigors of camp life and trench warfare without a whimper we know the spirit

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN g o o A Clean Newspaper for Southern Homes .0 o Vg T e e RIS
Billy Sunday gave the tollowing Thanksgiving day prayer to a representative ot The Georgian for its exclusive use:
things he went and tried ' wine,
He hit up the booze.
He tried a lot of things. Hoe
had a great natatorium built, and
it was supported by great lions.
That's where he took the count.
He had 700 wives and 300 con- e
cubines, He had Bringham
Young,. the Mormon, backed off
the boards by 360. He wasn't
satisfled yet; and after he had
gotten out of these things all that
he could get, he said in the bit
terness of 'his goul: “Vanity, van
ity, all is vanity.” \
He constructed the great build
ing known as Solomon’s Temple. “
It took ten years to build it. It
took 10,000 men eleven years just
to cut the trees that were need
ed, and it took 80,000 hewers of
wood and 70,000 men just to pre
pare the boards, and there were
80,000 squared stones in the build
ing.
Then, after it was all completed,
he declared a festival of seven
dayz in celebration of the finishi
ing of the work and 120,000 sheep
and a lot of oxen were killed and
eaten at the dedlcatory festivi
ties.
The roof of that wonderful
building was of olive wood cov.
ered with the purest gold and it
dazzled the eyes of everybody
who looked upon it. The building
and its courts would .accommo
date 300,000 people, or twenty
times as many as this tabernacle
will hold.
The pillars were of the purest
marble that could be had. The
gold on the inside of the build
ing was worth a bilion dollars,
and the silver was valued at that.
The 200 targets bore $240,000,000
worth of gold.
Then, after Solomon had con
structed this great building, he
turned his talents to the making
of Jerusalem into a beautiful eity.
He planted trees from every clime,
and flowers of every kind and
hue were there. These were kept
green all the year around by
streams brought from reservoirs
in the mountains.
But these pleased Solomon's
fancy for only a little while, and
soon he was weary of them. I can
see him as he walks in the bean
tiful gardens among the trees,
looking at the flowers and pluck
ing a pomegranate here and there,
and T ecan see him wring his
hands, and T can hear his say:
“All is vanity and vexation of
spirit.,”
Just think of it! He had great
wealth—why, in one year $20,000,-
000 in gold came to him from the
the mines of Ophir—and came as
a gift.
He had gratified his every
whim. He had tasted of every
pleasure of which he could think
or that others could suggest to
him. He had denied himself noth
ing. J
He had probably been an art
collector, and had getten together
from every land the flnest plant
ings and the choicest sculptures
that he could find. He had the
finest china that men could make
and money could buy. He had all
kinds of bric-a-brac and the best
of cut glass.
And yet, while his army of
servants awaited his pleasure,
and peautiful dancing women trod
?flcoful measures upon the rich =
oors and all the glories of the
palace to please him as he lolled
at east, he seemed to awake and
he e¢ried out in doleful words;
“All is vanity and vexation of
spirit.”
Just a puff of wind-—a bubble -
that had gone. So, as he.looked
upon the wreck of all his hepes
of happiness through gratification
of his tastes and appetites, he
said: “All s vanity and vexation
of spirit,”
Every man wants to be satis
fied. I do. So do you. Every
one is reaching out for happiness
and peace and rest. There are
men in this Tabernacle now who
have tried many things in pur
suit of happiness.
You have climbed high and you
have "probed deep, and some of
you have not found what you have
sought. All who are here.are on
the edge of eternity. There are
men looking me in the face who
will have “1917” carved on their
tombstones.
The past is simply a memory,
the future ar uncertainty. No
matter how old you are, no mat
ter if yvour hair is gray, no mat- s
ter what your bank account is,
some of you must say: “I have
not found happiness. Tam a fail
ure. All is vanity and vexatiosu
of spirit,”
- Why don’t you be a man? Why
don't you show a man’s courage !
and take up the cross of the Son
of God? Why don't you rise te
what vou might be? J
We were all meant for Getter
things, You were never meant for
the slop and swill barrels of the
devil.
Why do you let the devil con
trol you? Why do you let him
make you'a pawn upon the board
on which he plays his game?
Is there any bread in ruim? Ask
the poor fellows who have heen
spending their earnings for drink
during all these years. Ask their
wives and their children. No
bread for them.
Ask the saloonkeeper. There
lg bread in it for him, but none
for those who drink what he sells.
If T had my way, every drop of
' aleohol would be in hell by mid
~ night, Don't cheer. T would pre

I believe that God is tired of
seeing men and women longing
for things that are not of the
hest. Why not give your souls a
chance to reaeh out higher ana
then make a fight to the finish?
‘ There was a specialist in Lon
don who was called upon to at

tried to kill hig little sister. The
specialist asked him why he tried
such a thing and the boy an

The speclalist asked the father
whether he dranx. “I'm net a

“But yeu drink.”

“But you drink,” said the spe

4 When T was in Wheeling, W.
Va., a little girl of about 9 years
of age came to me with a pacl
age In har hand and said:
“Mr. Sunday, 1 want to give
you this cake. I haven’'t any
money, but papa was converted
at the meeting. arfd I baked this
cake, and 1T want to give it to

It was a cocoanut cake. If
there’s anything that 1 despise it
is cocoanuf cake, but I took it and
1 said:
“T'll try some of it right new."”
Ana T did. That was a great
test of my love, hut I made gool.

‘ Won't geme of you go home a

If you want to find starvation

Solomon Had Come
To Higher Viewpoint.
Solomon Baid: “All is vanity
and vexation of spirit.”
Was he a dyspeptic? Was the
world gloomy to him because he
was “busted?” No.
Is there pothing but evil in
wealth? Solomon said so many
things that stand in contrast to
what he said about the vanity
of things. Are we to think that
Solomon got his wires crossed?
No. Solomoén did not contra
dict himself. When he s=aid:
“What profit hath a man of all
his labor,” he added, “which he
taketh under the sun?”
That explains it to me. It
makes it all clear. I can see
what Solomon was thinking about
when he said that.
He zaid: “Under the sun.” He
meéant to ask what profit is there
in laboring for worldly things.
He had come to a higher view
point.
Many a man talks as if he stood
on the mountains of virtye when
he really is In thé quagmire of
sin. When a man stands up and
tells me that the whisky trade
helps business 1 know that he is
talking from the standpoint of the
brewery and saloonkeeper.
1 know that he lis not talking
from the standpoint of the drunk
ard’'s wife, as with her little chil
dren about her she looks out
upon life from squalor and want.
1 know that he is not talking
from the stardpoint of the drunk
ard’'s mother, as she weeps in
sorrow and prays for her way
ward boy.
What a man says shows his
viewpoint, and when you know a
man's viewpoint you know what
he wiil say. If a man stands on
his head in the cellar d tries
to describe a rainbow, g}: Know
that beld their forefathers indomitable at Lexington and Valley Forge has not
died out, and for this we thank Thee. x ;
We thank Thee for the wave of generosity that possesses the people so
that from their stores of wealth they dump fabulous sums into the coffers of

Billy Gives a Boost
To Votes for Women
Billy Sunday may be old-fashioned
enough .to believe in hell fire “and
brimstone, but he's new fashioned
enough to believe in ‘“votes for wo
men.” And he pleased an almost
exclusively feminine audience when
he set- himself clear on this particu
lar question Wednesday afternoon.
“Sure, T belteve in suffrage,” he said,
“and 1 believe that the women are
going te be a mighty bhig factor in
winning this war. But I do not be
lieve that suffrage is a substitute for
atonement through faith in Jesus
Christ, any more than [ believe that
phifanthropy, or social service or
higher education are. All of these
things are all right in their places, but
they aren’'t substitutes for the real
thing and God isn’'t geing to accept
them as such.”
Billy invited the women to come
down to the afternon meetings, and
bring their knitting. Maybe he's no
ticed that the women have a habit of
doing this anyway, and he just
thought hefd let them know that he
met with their approval. He said he
didn't at all mind their knitting while
they listened to him preach, because
he'd be blamed if he wasn't in for
anything that would help to win this
war,
There wasn't a large crowd present.
Only a handful of people in the choir,
about how straight he'll get it,
Solomon said: ‘‘Under the sun.”
He wants us to know that he was
looking at things, and speaking
from a low and worldly viewpoint.
He didn't mean that labor for the
higher and better things is with
out profit. Not much. He knew
tHat these are the only things
worth while.
If you take away the church, if
you take away the hope of im
mortality, if you take away the
blessings of religion; if you de
stroy all hope for the future, you
turn this world into a hell.
If we blot out all knowledge
except what we get through our
senses, if we blot out all knowl
edge of Christ, if we blot out all
that which in man tells him that
there is a God and hereafter, if
weblot out all these things—then
every grave would hold a suicide.
One week after Bog Ingersoll
delivered his lecture on suicide
in New Yeork they fished twenty
five suicides out of the old reser
voir, and within a month there
had been 125 suicides.
You are just beginning to learn
something about your soul when
vou find that nothing worldly will
satisfy your soul.
Nothing under the sun is ours
for more than a brief moment.
We have it just for a little while,
then it is gone forever.
There is no happin®ss possible
without the hope of eternity. The
thing you think lis happiness
Mmocks you as it flies away.
Nothing under the sun will sat
isfy a human soul. If this world
were meant to be our home, the
things of this world would satis
fy us, but the world isn't meant
to be our home, and its things
are not enough to give us peace,
Give us what we want and still
we are not satisfied.
Greed for gain will never be
satisfied by wealth. Greed fqr
honor will not be satisfied with
distinction. If we destroy faitn
in God there is no real Rappiness.
What does a mole know of sunrise
and what does a person living in
a cellar know of a mountain? The
best that the world can give is
a bubble,
What we see in the world de
pends entirely upon our viewpoint.
It is not possible for a man stand
ing 'on his head to tell of the
beauties of the rainbow.
Take away the Bible from the
world and all hope of the future
goes. Put nothing in its place
but sin and there would be little
use to live. It would banish all
_hope of heaven and make of it a
hell. Destroy all that tells of
heaven and Qlom is but despair
remaining. 5
What does the mole know about
sunshine? What does a man down
in a pit know about the flowers?
The best heaven you can build
for vourself without Christ is
nothing better than an anteroom
to hell.
Solomon at last looked above.
His viewpoint changed. He saw
something beyond. A man who
could see but little was taken up
into the blue and from that height
could see distinctly. After all of
this he came to the conclusion:
“Fear God and Keep His Com
mandments.” .
Noah looked beyvond when for
120 years he built the ark with
out a cloud in the sky. Abraham
likewise, looking for a city, looked
bhevond.
Moses, willing to suffer re
proach, was looking bevond. Josh
ua. too, who declared: “As for me
and my household, we will serve
the Y.ord.™ Job saw the heights
as he said, “Though He slay me,
and several hundred in the main part
of the building. But Billy probably
didn’t mind. Because he had a bad
cold, and he couldn’t speak very loud.
He said he got the cold in Toccoa
Monday, when he spoke to 10,000 peo
ple in the open air, and that he was
afraid he-couldn’t accept any more
invitations to speak in the open be
cause it puined his voice for indoor
speaking.
Billy's sermon was directed at per
sons , who offer various forms of
philanthropy and charity as swhsti
tutes for religion. - Y
“It's all right to give a Weary Wil
lie a hand out and a bath, but I
want to tell you you can't bathe a
person into heaven,” he said. “The
broad road into the kingdom of God
isn’t by the bathtub. It's by the
blood-red robe of Jesus Christ, and
that’s the anly way you're going to
get there.”
Billy declared it as his belief that
the world is on the verge of the
greatest national upheaval in revivals
that ‘it has ever known, and that the
church isn’t prepared to receive it
may well be prepared to be slapped in
the face.
“The pendulum is swinging back
again to orthodoxy,” he said, “and
you’'ve got to be prepared to meet
conditions.”
vet will 1 keep His command
ments.”
It wag~she same with Samuel,
Ezra, Nehemiah, Daniel and Ste
phen. All looked bheyond, saw
God’'s glory. They viewed things
things from an earthly viewpoint.
Jesus looked beyond when He ~
said, “I go to my Father and will
» prepare a place for you.” |
+= You are made to be Kkings, to
bhe the sons of God; it was not in
tended that you should prepare
yourselves for hell. What does
a man get out of this life if he
chooses earthly things? Yok |

How many of you are brave and
courageous enough to walk down \

Northerners to Dixie
The coal shortage in the North is
driving people to the Scouth for the
winter, according to a “Gentleman
from Indiana” who visited the offices

This tourist reported that people
from the North had been able to rent
apartments and rooms in the towns

Frank T. Reynolds, of the auto as

never before in the history of the

Mr. Reynolds estimated that fully
100 parties pass through Atlanta

New York, N. Y.—lt ts econservatively
estimated that over three million people
annually in this country alone are taking
Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results
have\been reported from its use both by
doctors and layfhen, that a number of
physicians in various parts of the coun
try have been asked to explain why theyi
prescribe it so extensively, and why it
apparently produces so much better re
sults than were obtained from the old
forms of inorganie iron.
- Extracts from some of the letters re
ceived are given below:
- _Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York phy
sician and medical author, says:
. “There can be no sturdy iron men
'without iron. Pallor means anaemia.
'Anlemia means iron deficiency. The skin
of anaemic men and women is pale; the
flesh flabby; the museles lack tene, the
brain fags and the memory fails and
they often become weak, nervous, irrita
ble, despondent and melancholy. When
the iron goes from the blood of women,
the roses go from their eheeks.
In the most common foods of America,
the starches, sugars, table syrups, can
dies, polished rice, white bread, soda
crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti,

ed foods, and silly methods of home
cookery, by throwing down the waste
pipe the water in which our vegetables
are cooked are responsible for another
grave iron loss.
Therefore, if you wish to preserve your
youthful vim and vigor to.a ripe old age,
you must supply the iron deficiency in
vour food by using some form of organic
iron, just as vou would use ‘salt when
vour food has not enough salt.
Dr. A. J. Newman, late police surgeon
of the city of Chica%o and former house
sufgeon, Jefferson Park Hospital, Chi
cago, in commenting on Nuxated Iron,
says: “It has been my particular duty
during the past sßix years to assist in
keeping Chicago's five thousand blue
coats in good health and é:erfect fighting
trim, so that they would be physically
equipped to withstand all manner of
storms and the ravages of nature's ele
ments. \
“Recently I was prompted through an
indorsement of Nuxated Iron by Dr,
Schuyler C. Jaques. visiting surgeon of
St. Elizabeth’s Hospital) New York, to
give it a trial. This remedy has proven
through my own tests of it to excel any
preparation 1 have ever used for cre
ating red blood, building up the nerves,
strengthening the muscles and correct
ing digestive disorders.”
Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who
has studied widely both in this country
and in great European medical institu
ltions, says: ‘“As I have said a hundred
times over, organic iron is the greatest
!or all strength buildegs. If people would
'only take Nuxated Ironavhen they feel
Iwesk or rundown, instead of dosing
themselves with habit«forming drugs,
stimulants and alcoholic beverages, I am
convinced that in this way they could
ward off disease, preventing it bécoming
organic in thousands of cases and there
by the lives of thousands might be
saved who now die every year from
pneumonia, grippe. kidney, liver, heart
trouble and other dangerous maladies.
The real and true cause which started
their diseases was nothing more nor less
*an a weakened cOn¢ition hrought on
by lack of iron in the blood.

“Net long ago a man came to me who
was nearly half a century old and asked
me to give him a preliminary examina
tion for life insurance. 1 was astonished
to find him with a blogd pressure of a
boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and
vitality as a ,young man; in fact, a
young man he really was, notwithstand
ing his age. The secret, he said, was
taking iron-—Nuxated Iron had filled him
with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad
health; at 46 he was careworn and near
ly all in—now at 50, after taking Nux
ated Iron a miracle of vitality and his
face beaming with the buoyancy ot
youth.
“Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living
tissue. Without it, no matter how much
or what“you eat, your food merely pass
es throYh you without doing yvou any
good, and as a consequence you become
weak, pale and sickly-looking, just like
a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient
in iron. If you are not strong or well
you owe it to éyourself to make the fol
lowing test: Sée how long yeu can work
or how far you can walk without he
coming tired. Next take two five-grain
tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three
times per day after meals for two weexks.
Then test your strength again and see
how much you have gained. I have seen
dozens of nervous, run-down people who
were ailing all the while double thelr
strength and endurance and entirely rid
themselves of all symptoms of dyspep
sia, liver and other troubles in from ten
to fourteen days’ time simply bg taking
iron in the proper form. And this after
they had in some cases been doectoring
for months without obtaining any ben
efit. But don't take the olgd forms of
reduced iron, iron acetate or tinctglrp of
ircn simply to save a few cents. The
iron demanded by Mother Nature for the
red coloring matter in the blood of her
children is, alas! not tßat kind of iron.
You must take iron in a form that can
be easily absorbed and‘assimilated to do
vou any good, otherwise it may prove
worse than useless. Many an athlete
and prize-fl%}:ter has won the day sim
ply because he knew the secret of great
strength and endurance and filled his
blood with iron, befqre he went into the
affray: while many another has -gone
down to inglorious defeat simply for the
lack of iron.”
Southern Wholesalers, in Session
Here, Say Company Would
Shift War Tax,
Resolutions protesting against thé
increase of 10 per cent in express
rates which the Southern Express
Company has asked of the Interstate
Commerce Commission were adopted
Tuesday afternoon by the Southern
Wholesale Dry Goods Associatiog in
session in Atlanta.
Norman Johnson. secretary and
counsel, declared the express com
pany was merely trying to force the
public to shoulder the war tax on its
profits.
“This isn’t an expense, but a charge
which every business must expect ta
pay,” said Mr. J6hnson. “The express
company already is making the public
pay 5 per cent on everything shipped,
a charge the Government intended the
company to pay.” -
| Mr. Johnson took up the record of
the company showing that only 150,-
000 had ever been invested in the
Southern Express Company, which
has, . paid enormous dividends.
The third division of the dry goods
organization, consisting of dealers
from South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, met at the" Chamber of Com
merce to discuss market conditions
and tax questions. An advance in
prices was predicted by them as a
, certainty. -
Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques,
visiting surgeon of Bt. Eliz
abeth’s Hospital, New York
City, said: “I have never be
fore given out any medical
information or advice for
publication, as 1 ordinarily
do not believe _in it. But in
the case of Nuxated Iron 1
feel I would be remiss in my
duty not to mention it. T

those who wish .
quickly to increase
their strength, power
and endurance will find
it a most remarkable and
wonderfully effective remedy.”
Dr. H. B. Vail, a medical examiner.
late of the Baltimore and Columbus Hos
pitals, says: ‘“Time and again, I have
prescribed organic iron—Nuxated Iron—
and surprised patients at the rapidity
with which the weakness and general
debility were replaced by a renewed feel
ing of strength and vitality. One man
47 years old who had practically worn
himself out with stimulating mediciues
and nauseous concoctions came to me
recently after a month’s course of Nux
ated Iron and declared, ‘Doctor, I feel as
full of life and energy as when a boy of
21. When you compare a product like
Nuxated Iron, which is easily assimilat -
ed and does z{ot injure the teeth, with
the older form§ of inorganic iron, which
upset the stomach, ruined the teeth
and passed through the body withou
doing any good, it is not surprising that
millions of people annually are now tak
ing Nuxated Iron and physicians every
where are prescribing it.”
