Tally-ho Evangelism

H. O. Wills in a canopied carriage, richly equipped and inscribed in shining letters, "The World for Tesus," swung intn the city, Saturday, to the clang of a hook and ladder gong and a "get-out-of-the-wayof the-gospel-chariot" style that sent all opposing vehicles to the curbstone and caused even the caliopen-voiced O'Neil, of the train ambulance, to yield an inch or two more than the middle of the street, with an astonished gaze that seemed to say: "I used to think had some cheek!" Mr. Wills' luxurious coach was built for the accommodation of five persons, and was manned by himself and a male quartette of fairly good singers. The elegant equipage moved at a rattling rate behind a span of smart steeds, the whole sparkling and glistening in the sua like a chariot in a circus procession. It is probable that the entire outfit cost not less than i,ooo and would seem to indícate that evangelism on wheels is not a bad speculation, even in hard times. In the evening the Patrician tallyho drew up opposite the Cook house, on Huron street, the Evangelist rightly conceiving that Clerk Murnan was a proper subject for conversión. The crowd was harangued together by means of an eating house gong with a decidedly "stop - twenty - minutes-for refreshments" quality of music. The quartette sang at intervals, and the Evangelist in a voice like a steatn thresher.addressed the people. Mr. Wills is a good speaker, and having once been a very bad man, knows how to get very close to the wickedness of an average street audience. He is forcible, eloquent, impressive, and touches the vices of humanity with the skill of a master, and the familiarity of one who has been over the course. He was listened to attentively, and if what he said shall be heeded, Ann Arbor will be the better for it. The gospel tally-ho and its occupants are maintained by the sale of literature, and perhaps by the generous contributions of those who believe in this mode of warning sinners to "flee from the wrath to come.
