Billy Sunday turns Philadelphia into tabernacle city
Billy Sunday drew crowds of about 60 000 to 65 000 in three sermons at Twentieth and Vine as Philadelphia builds a massive tabernacle. Police and fire crews guarded the venue while Sunday praised his mission and challenged Protestant Catholic ties. The event drew notable officials and volunteers, with a large staff and a second tabernacle possible if crowds remain strong.
