MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL
ASSAILS "BILLY" SUNDAY
t
"I Honestly Doubt tlio Sincerity of His Motlvos" Declares Rev.
MeMahon of New York -"I Maintain That the Religion
. of Sunday Is Not the Religion of Christ'
In the N'cw York American appeared
the following account of Rev. Joseph
"MrMnhon's attack upon tho mothods
of Hilly Sunday Prohibition circus
performer:
' I honcitly doubt tho sincerity of
ntlly Sunday's motives. 1 question
the worth of his conversion-?. Tho
fact tint ho conducts tho business of
tho Lord -on a strictly business basis
Is of course his own affair. Uut no

Heforo a fashionable audlenco of

tho Rev. Joseph H. MeMahon pastor
of Our Lady of Lourdos Ilomun Cath-
olic Church yesterday gavo his opin-
ion of Hilly Sunday and his work in
no uncertain terms. Tho ballroom at
Dclmpnico's was crowded with nttcn-
tlvo listener!.
The occasion of the address wan ono
of tho mld-wlntor meetings conducted
by tho Catholic Library Association.
Dr. MeMahon sketched ono of tho
revivalist's meotlngs end said:
"Nothing can stop tho stream of
converts from hitting tho sawdust
trail under thnso circumstances
Klf -
teen hundred trained ushers aro watch-
lng their faces waiting for 'favorable
symptoms.' 80 tho mystery of con-
version Is accomplished."
Dr. MeMahon explained that tho un-
usual and grotesque as Dllly Sunday
emphasized them wero in larpo part
tho mothods of great revivalists of
the Church in past ngos.
