Billy Sunday Preaches
Funeral of John Barleycorn. . . He Has Fought Consistently for 26 Years. . .
Coffin and Mourners
Norfolk, Va., Jan. 16—Fifteen thousand people crowded their
way into the Billy Sunday Tabernacle this afternoon to attend the strangest
service ever held in the Old Dominion when the evangelist preached the funeral
of his arch enemy, John Barleycorn. There was a note of triumph in the meeting,
since Sunday 26 years ago began the scattering attack on liquor which gained
for him his first nation-wide reputation.
