Beginning on 21 April 1925 and continuing through 31 May 1925, 8illy Sunday conducted what was characterized as a !:,'Teat awakening in "cigarette city" in the Old North State, also nicknamed "The Rip Yan Winkle State." Was it indeed an awakening? Or, did the former Cubs baseball player-turned-revivalist put folks to sleep spiritually, while Babe Ruth and moonshine replaced Baal and Moloch in the hearts or then contemporary worshipers? To answer these questions and hundreds or others like them , a collage or 350 11 "x 17" newspaper clippings has been compiled that captures the context of "Camel City" from the time Billy Graham's role model came to town until two weeks afler he left. One such page is reproduced on the inside of this 11 "x 17" descriptive pamphlet. It is representative of the front pages of each edition of the IVins1011-Su/e111 .Jozmwl from the day Sunday arrived until he left. In between the headlines and the last page, Sunday's and happenings at the tabernacle often took three complete pages or an edition to chronicle. These were days when , Sunday's near-neighbor back in Winona Lake, Indiana, was duking it out with Darrow in Dayton, Tennessee; when a orth aro ma tists were trying to find other employment for the evolutionist, Billy "Red Tie" Poteat, the ptist biologist/president of Wake Forest College (who · elf stayed at the_gme-R ert E. Lee Hotel in Winston-Salem where the Yankee orphan Sun ay stayed, and who also attended at least one of Sunday's meetings); and when Sunday School teacher and oil magnate, John D. Rockefeller, sponsor of Sunday's famous City Revival, was joining forces with fundamentalist arch-enemy, Harry Emerson Fosdick, in a tour defhrce that still demands explanation. It's all here to read about, from Jewish jokes to Jim Crow humor, in the extensive coverage given this

( continued on back page) event by the secular press, while the religious press, in general, ignored Christian soldier Sunday --the only Civil War orphan Chicago's (and later, Carolina's) couldn't stand (see the hitherto unpublished, unexpurgated poem by Sandburg about Sunday in George Hendrick's new book, Poems for the People). This collage is available in hardbound or loose-leaf editions for the price cited above. ff you prefer, you can reproduce the identical material yourself from the microfilm edition of the Winston-Salem .Journal with an investment of 30 trained- man/hours and $52.50 for copies. Otherwise you may order a copy from collator
