Fischer to the platform but there sprang up the platform steps the Rev. A. R. Paul, pastor of the United Presbyterian church, who had been chosen by the Ministerial Union as their spokesman. "Just a moment, please," he said to Mr.

Sunday; and the evangelist sat down with a puzzled expression evidently wondering why a minister had "butted In" he was all ready and anxious to begin his sermon. AddrexseH Mr. Sunday. Then he turned to Mr. Sunday.

Men who hadn't white handkerchiefs handy threw their hats toward the ceiling.
