    Billy Sunday Funeral

    About this ebook

    When Mrs. William A. Sunday requested that the funeral of her honored husband should be held in the Moody Memorial Church, our Executive Committee were pleased to comply, for all felt it was most becoming for him who had so often preached from our pulpit to be buried from the edifice reared to the memory of the great evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, who, in an earlier generation, stood so valiantly for the same precious truth that Mr. Sunday proclaimed so fearlessly and energetically.


    For myself, I counted it a real privilege and a sacred trust to be permitted to direct the service and preach on this memorable occasion. The full account was published in The Moody Church News, a large extra edition being printed at that time. Owing to requests from all parts of the world for copies, this edition has long since been entirely exhausted, and still the requests come.


    Now, at the earnest solicitation of personal friends of ‘Billy” Sunday, the entire account is presented in pamphlet form, and is sent forth with the sincere hope that it may be blessed of God, not only to large numbers of the evangelist’s own converts but to many others who have heard of his great work. In this way, I trust, the word will be fulfilled concerning him that was written of another so long ago: “He, being dead, yet speaketh.”

      Billy Sunday Funeral

      Reprinted from The Moody Church News of December, 1935

      Three thousand one hundred and fifty-seven persons filed past the casket of the great evangelist. Many were in tears. Many exclaimed: He led me to Christ As the funeral service began there were some 3,500 people seated in the great auditorium of the Moody Memorial Church. Many of Mr. Sunday’s former associates in his great campaigns were present. Judge [Kenesaw Mountain] Landis was one of the pallbearers. A large number of ministers, Salvation Army officers and other Christian workers were in the choir loft. On the platform were the brethren who were to participate in the service, Dr. Ironside, the Pastor of the church, presiding.

      The front of the platform was literally banked with magnificent floral offerings and among these most noticeable was one from the Cubs, Chicago’s well-known baseball aggregation, formerly known as the White Stockings, with which Mr. Sunday was connected at the time of his conversion.

      Introduction by Dr. Ironside

      It seems very fitting that on such an occasion as this when we are gathered to pay our last respects to our friend and brother,
