... or a high school girl has the same effect as when it's sold to an
automobile thief or a horse thief. Congress has passed a law putting $2
a tax on whiskey, and they expect to realize $300 million. That means
that the American people have not to buy and drink 150 million gallons a
year.

They have to put $5 a barrel tax on beer. That means the people have not

In Winona Lake, Indiana, not far from the tabernacle that bears his
name, is his house, a veritable museum of tokens of esteem from the
mightiest and the least. On the wall of his study are signed portraits

A clock from the employees of Wanamaker's in Philadelphia. Trophies and
loving cups, one given him by the chauffeurs of Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Another clock from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Gifts given to Billy Sunday from the people whose language he spoke, the
people of the country he loved. Billy Sunday's funeral service was held
in the great Moody Church in Chicago. It seats 4,000 people and was
crowded in the afternoon, but all through the day, a rainy day, people
came, walking through, to look into the face of the man who had meant so
much to them, to their families,
