MINISTER OF
ASSAILS "BILLY" SUNDAY
"I Honestly Doubt the Sincerity of His Motives" Declared Rev
McMahon of New York "I Maintain That the Religion
of.Sunday Is Not the Religion of Christ"
In tho New "ork American appoarod
tho following account of Rov. Josoph
McMuhon'B attack upon tho methods
of Rllly Sunday Prohibition clrcua
performer:
"I honestly doubt tho slncorlty of
nilly Sunday's motives. I question
tho worth of his conversions. The
fact that he conducts tho business of
tho Lord on a strictly business basis
Is of course bis own affair. Dut no
one can call his mob psychology or
his hypnotic Influonco over vast
crowds real religion."
Hoforo a fashionable audience of
women with a scattering of clorgy
tho Rev. Joseph H. McMahon pastor
of Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Oath-
ollc Church yesterday gave his opin-
ion of Hilly Sunday and his work In
no uncertain terms. Tho ballroom nt
polmonlco's was crowded with atten-
tive listeners.
The occasion of the address was ono
by tho ClLthMo Llbrary AillocBlIon
pt. McMahon sketched one of tlio
revivalist's meetings and said:
"Nothing can stop tho stream of
..? h d
trail under theso circumstances rif-
(ccn hundred trained ushors are watch-
In? their faces waiting for 'favorable
symptoms.' So tho mystery of con-
version Is accomplished."
Dr. McMahon explained that tho un-
usual and grotesque as Billy Sunday
emphasized them were in largo part
the methods of groat revivalists of
the Church in past ages.

Father McMahon referred to SL Vin-
cent Ferrer a rovhallst of tho Fran-
ciscan Order who In 139D wandored
through Europe with nu organisation
similar to Sunday's proachln? and
making converts for the Church. Ha
then continued:
"There Is tho contrast of tho luxu-
rious homo which Sunday always
establishes for himself In every city
he visits as comparoil to tho bjoak

TAKES BATH IN
BEER IN MAINE
..
To prove how "wet" Maine the
original "dry" statr read this
account from Portland to tho New
York American:
"I'd heard of folk taking a bath
In liquor but I never saw It done
bofore" said Deputy Sheriff Hunt
when he returned from a liquor
seizing expedition with tho Deputy
Mayor after taking a keg of beer
from the homo of Michael Serenlo
of Hampshire stiect. '
The water had frozen In the pipes
at the Serenlo home and Mrs. Ser-
enlo was busily engaged In bathing
the children In a pall of beer. The
deputies seized the Impromptu bath
tub It; contents and a keg besides.
This Is ine of the freak develop-
ments of 'the State-wide enforce-
ment of Maine's liquor law
