God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Payroll<\/h1>\n

Samuel Logan Brengle and Billy Sunday had much in common. Both were raised by godly mothers on Midwestern farms after their fathers had perished in the Civil War. Both became famous preachers who gave the credit to their Lord and to their mothers. And both were very familiar with skid row. Brengle preached there. Sunday lived there awhile.
\nBilly Sunday initially gained fame as an outfielder for the Chicago White Sox, but his career was marred by drinking. One night, staggering down the street, he heard a Salvation Army group singing a song his mother used to sing : \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Later that evening at the Pacific Garden Mission, Sunday gave his life to Christ. He soon left the baseball diamond for the pulpit.
\nAmong his inimitable, bombastic sermons is one from Exodus 2:9 about Moses\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 mother : \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Thinking of his own mother, Sunday said : Being a king, emperor, or president is mighty small potatoes compared to being a mother. Commanding an army is little more than sweeping a street compared with training a boy or girl. The mother of Moses did more for the world than all the kings that Egypt ever had. Oh, you wait until you reach the mountains of eternity, then read the mothers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 names in God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Hall of Fame. I tell you women : Fooling away your time, hugging and kissing a poodle dog, drinking a cocktail, and playing cards is mighty small business compared to molding the life of a child.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d God pays in joy that is fireproof, famine-proof, and devil-proof.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d If you haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been doing that, then get your name on God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s payroll.<\/p>\n
