What’s next, after a Sunday revival ends? C. 1913

END OF SUNDAY CAMPAIGN.

Before another issue of the Times-Leader reaches its readers, Rev. Billy Sunday and his co-workers will have left. This community has been stirred up as never before. We desire at this time to reproduce an editorial of the Ohio State Journal published at Columbus, when Mr. Sunday conducted a campaign just previous to his visit here:

“As a result of his mission in Columbus, we should say there is a stronger moral sense in this community than there ever was before; and now the pressing question is, how to preserve it, how to make it vital in civic, religious and business life. He has made of religion a thoroughly practical matter, and has made the people feel it to be that way; and now it becomes the duty of every one who loves his neighbor and his city to put into practice in his own life the high lessons of duty, and honor, and faith, which Rev. Sunday has been preaching to us for the past seven weeks.”

That’s the correct summing up of the entire situation. Sunday has recruited the soldiers. The responsibilities and duties rest with those who remain here.
