Sunday .innounced last night lhat this week he will de- lifer three .-special sermons and he wants doctors, lawyers and business men to attend in jiarticu- iar. "It is at times when floods sweep cities and towns, carry aw:'.y bridges, wreck home* and devastate the land in general lhat we U'lrn how heirless' man really is," said' Iiev. Billy Sun¬ day, in his germon at the tabernacle 'iast night. The evangelist's reference lo the flood coniiUon here and through the middle west sort of sur¬ prised the thousaad.s who turned out to hear him on the closing night of the fifth week of the campaign. Il '. wa... in urging his hearers to show God lhat they are thankful for iiis many blessings that he siiokc of the hor¬ rors in Ohio and Indiana. He said| that the people in this \alley should be giad the river flood only dama:;ed : properly whereas in Uhio and Indiana • hundreds ot human lives were sw al- , lowed by the angr.v waters. I In speaking of the floods .Mr. Sun- , day said: . 1 "Conditions like we have seen in '¦ this valley for the last few days and those in Uie middle west shMW us how helpless man is in the iont; run. He ; can build wonderful iioiiics, install j tile IdtCiSt and most modern improve- I ments in them, have his suain heat, his electricity, his auios and last rail- j road tralW, and other things, bnt then a fiood will come aiong, sweep them away, anu compt-l men to resort lu custorai of Sli hundred yeatrs ago. It is in caaes of floodiS, earlhciuakes and sueh iiorror.s tlial we see how mighty God realiy is. ' 178 Uit Ilu- Trsiil. Mr. Sunday's sermon last mght was one of the mosl forceful yet delivered. It was on the imporiance of repent¬ ance. He took ais text from Isaiah 56:6, and arged upon a'l sinners to forsake their evii ways if they wish t) escape the wratii of their Maker. At the close of his remarks he issued a personal appeal to those wishing to SUnd for Chris: and so touched were fifiy of the audience by the evange¬ list's effort that they came forward before the personal workers began work. In all one hundred and seventy- eight signed to become members of the church and these addc-d to the forty-four at the afiernoon services brought the total for the day up to ---. This makes a total of H,l'»;2 since the revival started. Prixiiciic to lie u Cljri^tlan. Mr. Sunday began his sermon say¬ ing thai it is a great privilege to be a Christian. He said God's command to "forsake all evil ways' was meant for the millionaire a-s much as thi- miner; for the king as much as the hoboe, wd fur the virtuous girl as well as the one Uvin:,; in a hou.se of prostitu¬ tion. He i-,iid no matltr how greal a 8lr. one has committed he wil! be for¬ given if he rejients. He said salva¬ tion is a personal matter." (Jne must seek God's grace to gain it. "If I tould seek and gain salvation for every human being in this tabernacle tonight I wou d fe.l I would return bome .Mimday," .Mr. .Sunday declared. The fact that one's mother is a i-hristi:in should not bi- claimed a rea¬ son as why the soul of her son should b'' saved, the speaker declared. He 'Sid a mother can no more find saiva- tion tor her child than she can breathe and eat for it. Ue .stated tha salvation is for tno.«e who will *!^cept it. He denied lhat a.l church members are Christians and as.sai!ed (CoiitiiiiK-d on pa^c !>.) SOME SUNDAYISMS It Is n srrat privUoso to be- a (lirisilaii.

On all lines hc.ilth boards are nbinning to att,ick this problem with a vigor .seldom eoualled and wholesale fumicntions By Jamrs S. Co.x, Gov. of Ohio. Columbus, O., .Mar. :i9.—The end ot the week finds the state dazed and benumbed in contemplation of the tre¬ mendous and widespread destruction in almost every section. The situa¬ tion today assumed a f''W novel angles. It is becoming a problem ol food wilhin our border.s. Cincinnati, in the fuUne.ss of her bounty, shipped Iralnloads of supplies into the lower Miami valley and the -southeastern parts of Indiana as well. I'hilantrophy displaced prudence and tonight the Queen city of the west apiieal.'s lo the .state for assistance. The Chicago .\.ssociatlon of Com¬ merce at our request established a base at IndianapolLs, so soon as rail¬ road traffic was resumed between Dayton and the Indiana capital. Ten carloads of limestone, five car tanks of ga.soline and a train load Consisting of bread, vegetables and clothing are on their way to Dayton ijow from that point. Lime is as need¬ ful now for the purpose of disinfect¬ ing. The west is a'so supplying medical supplies, [wrticularly antitoxin for the diiihlheria outbreak. Dayton-'s last appeal was for automobile trucks. The mililary organization has been of great service and the week closes t<'nlglit with some me:usure of conso¬ lation in the thoughl that every sec¬ tion that h.is appealed to us had hun¬ ger appeased. Colonel Zimmerman, of the Eighth Kegiment, wo-s sent out from Dayton and this afternoon he sends his offi¬ cial report which is indeed a grew- some tale. Xinety-one bodies will be interred there tomojrow. Two hun¬ dred horses were burned In the street. Two or three of the principal Ihor- oughfarea have been waaiied Into ditches LM) feet deep. Gariiion On Hand. "Secretary of War Garrison reached Dayton this morning by automobile from Cincinnati. The sanitary condi¬ tions thore are bad and at our request he has assumed sanitary charge of the city. "The whole country is loud In its prai.se of .Iohn H. I-'atterson. His was the master mind at Dayton and through the r markable organization of the National Cash Heglste. t7om- pany he was enabled to be as poten¬ tial as even the federal and State gov¬ ernments in the fir.st forty-eight houra of the* flood famiud.' Marietta Strieken. "Marietta entered th.- list i^f sorely stricken cities today. The water has exceeded the 1S84 stage thei^ and a goodly portion of the city is inun¬ dated. The relief commi.ss'on for the time being has provided for .Mari¬ etta. "The wire chief operator of the Bell Telephone Company, T'.alph Jack¬ son, reports tonight that an appeal has conip from Portsmouth. Water in the Ohio there Is 6S feet high and | is still rising. Iteport is that the ] bu.slne.s.s buildin.gs are on fire. In Oal- lipoli.s the water is still rising. At ^ la-st report It was 62 feet The tele- . phone building has caved in and put It out of commission. Seventy Foot Wave On Way Down Ohio River Will Bring Additional Suf¬ fering And Hardships To State—Kentucky Shores Will Also Suffer. Stricken Cities Take Up Fight Against Pestilence. Levees Have Broken On The Missouri Side Of The Mis¬ sissippi River And Water Is Still Rising ENTIRE DEATH LIST WILL NOTIxCEED SIX HUNDRED . » Cincinnati is the center of the danger zone in the flood district. The waters of the sonth- era part of the state joined with the flood waters from western Pennsylvania and West Vir¬ ginia are rushing down the Ohio river and a flood crest of seventy feet is expected at Cin¬ cinnati and cities opposite on the Kentuc'ty shore during the day. Sixty blocks in Cincinnati are already submerged.. Many other cities and towns along the r3ach of the muddy Ohio frora Pittsburgh southward are partially under water. Thousands of families are refugeef and tiomendous damage has already been done. Dayton, Columbus and other cities in Ohio and Indiana which received staggering blows ill the recent flood s'ourge began their battle against pestilence and for reconstruction yesterday. Conditions in those iiections are rapidly improving and with two exceptions almost complete to'mporary relief has been given. Along the lower Ohio and the Missippi the water level is increasing and the inhabitants are preparing to resist the wt)rst flood in many year,?. Tv/o levees have already broken on the Missouri sdie of the Mississippi and the militia is patrolling the valley districts. Every river and stream in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee ii reported full to tho point of overflow and within the next few days a tremendous irolume ol water will be added to the Blississippi. NOT OVER 600 DEAD The total dead in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and West Virginia through the flood that has pissed and is now passing will not exceed six hundred according to the latest and most authentic rtjports based on the *;xaminations in the afflicted sections. The maxium estimate of deaths in Dajrton is two hundred, with Hamilton, Ohio, next with aa estimated one himdred and fifty, while the total for Columbus is placed at one hundred. Hamilton, Ohio, twenty-five miles above Cincinnati is in danger of being cut off from al) sfiiirces of supply tbrough the washouts near Cincinnati, that route having been the only means 0' transportation since the flood. The situation in several Indiana towns remains acute, but it is expected that the relief ol ail will be affected by today. ' Governor Ralston said last night that the damage through the state would surely be fifty- nillion dollars and might perhaps reach one hundred million dollars.. Indianapolis, Peru and Terre Eaute are found to have be^en the greatest sufferers. The governor said that the flood \ictims are in urgent need ol supplies of all kinds and money. Transportation in the state is paralyzed. Tbe total deaths in the state is placed at forty-six. GARRISON IN DAYTON. Secretary of War Garrison arrived in Dayton yesterday and is cooperating with the state a:id municipal authorities in carrying out the work of sanitation and rehabilitation. The problem oi supplying drinkirg water and a sanitary system is the most important at Dayton. Nearly all of the water mains have been broken and the entire sewerage system has been de¬ molished. A corps cf state and government engineers are now in the city and Monday every man who is out of employment through the closng of the factories there, will be enlisted in the work of rebuilding these systems. Medical experts have begun to fight to prevent the spread of disease. Especially typhoid and diphtheria. The same step*^ toward sanitation are being taken in Columbus and conditions in that city are rapidl improving. The known dead there are fifty-six, much less than was anticipated. FEAR EPIDEMICS The fear of epidemics through the flood districts remains uppermost. The almost com¬ plete paralysis of tninsportation facilities has greatly hindered the importation of medical sup- piles and with the recession of the flood waters, an enormous quantity of stagnant water has been leit in the cities and towns The relief of Zinesville, Ohio, has been affected, although a large portion of that town is stJI under water. The known dead are ten. All over the stricken area the militia are taking desperate measures to stop the looting wh',ch IS increasing diily. Several men have been shot, one as he was taking a diamond ring off the finger of a dead woman. Several cities have been on the verge of rioting, but Jiese disorders have been quelled by the arrival of food supplies. The oU towns in Ohio and in West Virginia have suffered heavily. Derricks have been W3-ecked and pipe lines broken and many homes demolished. Many parts of Kentucky have felt the flood. At Covington, Newport and Dayton, on the Ohio nver, opposite Cincinnati, twelve thousand are homeless and a large part of the three towns IS submerged. In other parts of the State along the Kentucky riv^r, the same conditions prevaiL lhe Kentucky river uas reached a higher level than for years past and thousands of logs have been swept loose and are creating havoc as they are carried down the torrent.

"It is at times when floods sweep cities and towns, carry aw:'.y bridges, wreck home* and devastate the land in general lhat we U'lrn how heirless' man really is," said' Iiev. Billy Sun¬ day, in his germon at the tabernacle 'iast night. The evangelist's reference lo the flood coniiUon here and through the middle west sort of sur¬ prised the thousaad.s who turned out to hear him on the closing night of the fifth week of the campaign. Il '. wa... in urging his hearers to show God lhat they are thankful for iiis many blessings that he siiokc of the hor¬ rors in Ohio and Indiana. He said| that the people in this \alley should be giad the river flood only dama:;ed : properly whereas in Uhio and Indiana • hundreds ot human lives were sw al- , lowed by the angr.v waters. I
In speaking of the floods .Mr. Sun- , day said: . 1
"Conditions like we have seen in '¦ this valley for the last few days and those in Uie middle west shMW us how helpless man is in the iont; run. He ; can build wonderful iioiiics, install j tile IdtCiSt and most modern improve- I ments in them, have his suain heat, his electricity, his auios and last rail- j road tralW, and other things, bnt then a fiood will come aiong, sweep them away, anu compt-l men to resort lu custorai of Sli hundred yeatrs ago. It is in caaes of floodiS, earlhciuakes and sueh iiorror.s tlial we see how mighty God realiy is. '
178 Uit Ilu- Trsiil. Mr. Sunday's sermon last mght was one of the mosl forceful yet delivered. It was on the imporiance of repent¬ ance. He took ais text from Isaiah 56:6, and arged upon a'l sinners to forsake their evii ways if they wish t) escape the wratii of their Maker. At the close of his remarks he issued a personal appeal to those wishing to SUnd for Chris: and so touched were fifiy of the audience by the evange¬ list's effort that they came forward before the personal workers began work. In all one hundred and seventy- eight signed to become members of the church and these addc-d to the forty-four at the afiernoon services brought the total for the day up to ---. This makes a total of H,l'»;2 since the revival started.
Prixiiciic to lie u Cljri^tlan. Mr. Sunday began his sermon say¬ ing thai it is a great privilege to be a Christian. He said God's command to "forsake all evil ways' was meant for the millionaire a-s much as thi- miner; for the king as much as the hoboe, wd fur the virtuous girl as well as the one Uvin:,; in a hou.se of prostitu¬ tion. He i-,iid no matltr how greal a 8lr. one has committed he wil! be for¬ given if he rejients. He said salva¬ tion is a personal matter." (Jne must seek God's grace to gain it. "If I tould seek and gain salvation for every human being in this tabernacle tonight I wou d fe.l I would return bome .Mimday," .Mr. .Sunday declared. The fact that one's mother is a i-hristi:in should not bi- claimed a rea¬ son as why the soul of her son should b'' saved, the speaker declared. He 'Sid a mother can no more find saiva- tion tor her child than she can breathe and eat for it. Ue .stated tha salvation is for tno.«e who will *!^cept it. He denied lhat a.l church members are Christians and as.sai!ed (CoiitiiiiK-d on pa^c !>.)
