Excerpt from Burning Truths From Billy's Bat: A Graphic Description of the Remarkable Conversion of Rev. "Billy" Sunday (the World's Famous Evangelist), Embodying Anecdotes, Terse Sayings, Etc., Compiled From Various Sources Many have long since turned to dust. I sobbed and sobbed and a young man stepped out and said: 'we are going down to the Pacific Garden mission. Won't you come down to the mission? I am sure you will enjoy it. You can hear drunkards tell how they have been saved and girls tell how they have been saved from the red light district. I arose and said to the boys: I'm through. We've come to the parting of the ways, and I turned my back on them. Some of them laughed and some of them mocked me; one of them gave me encouragement; others never said a word. Twenty-seven years ago I turned and left that little group on the corner of State and Madison streets, walked to the little mission, fell on my knees and staggered out of sin and into the arms of the Saviour. I went over to the west side of Chicago where I was keeping company with a girl now my wife, Nell. I mar ried Nell. She was a Presbyterian, so I am a Presby terian. Had she been a Catholic, I would have been a Catholic - because I was hot on the trail of Nell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
