et's quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the world to Christ.

Born into poverty, Billy Sunday spent some years in an orphanage before taking a series of odd jobs in several small Iowa towns as he demonstrated his prowess in amateur athletics.  Sunday's exceptional speed provided him the opportunity to play major league baseball for eight years. 

Converted to Christianity in the 1880s, Sunday left baseball for the ministry.  He gradually developed his skills as a pulpit evangelist in the Midwest and then, during the early twentieth century, he became the nation's most famous evangelist with his colloquial sermons and frenetic delivery.

Sunday held heavily reported campaigns in America's largest cities, made a great deal of money, and was welcomed into the homes of the wealthy and influential.  Perhaps more than a million people came forward at his invitations, and he may have personally preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ to more people than any other person in history up to that time.  Sunday was a strong supporter of Prohibition, and his preaching almost certainly played a significant role in the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919.

He was sincerely devoted to his wife, who also managed his campaigns.  Billy Sunday continued to preach until his death in 1935.

Billy Sunday Quotes 
If you want to drive the devil out of the world, hit him with a cradle instead of a crutch.

I'm against sin.  I'll kick it as long as I've got a foot, and I'll fight it as long as I've got a fist. I'll butt it as long as I've got a head. I'll bite it as long as I've got a tooth. And when I'm old and fist-less and footless and toothless, I'll gum it till I go home to Glory and it goes home to perdition!

Too many churches are little more than four walls and a roof.

It is not necessary to be in a big place to do big things.

Don't stop with telling your boy to do right. Show him how.
