But a man of his Christian character, experlence, sincerity, knowledge of world affairs and _of home conditions could not have failed had he been placed in the White House. Men become less radical in their views and actions under the great weight of office. Mr. Bryan would have been no exception to the rule. In fact he became more conservative | 1 n many of his views during the lat. ter part of his life He was a really great statesman, a man who thought r ahead of his time. For example, he advocated woman suffrage long be- fore it was ever thought of seriously nd_urged national prohibition y Walker Hill before the campaign was actually started. “Mr. Bryan was a man who had extraordinary political temptations. Yet during all his career there never was a_whisper of scandal connected with his name. His most bitter enemies never dared say one word against his character. I am sure that any man with the courage, fighting ability and brains that Mr. Bryan President. No doubt he would have made a better President than some possessed would be successful as we have had in the past. While in Washington Mr. Bryan was very regular In his church attend- ance. When a Representative in Con- gress he always sat In the balcony. Later he had a seat on the south side of the church, near the pew now re served for Vice President Daw some distance from the famous Lin- coln pew. Dr. Radcliffe says he al- ways showed deep Interest in all parts of the service. He was a_constant and devoted reader of the Bible, but not a great Bible student. “Mr. Bryan preferred expository sermons,” Dr. Radcliffe added. ‘“He declared the sermon should bring out the great Bible truths and often said he had no patlence with a preacher who wandered from one thing to an- other. He felt that the minister should stick strictly to his text.” Found Bryan Il Dr. Radcliffe then recalled an incl- dent which he never told to any one as long as Mr. Bryan was alive. One Sunday night as he was starting for the evening service he received a tele- phone call, an unknown voice telling him that Mr. Bryan wished to see him. Not knowing that Mr. Bryan was in town, he asked If it were Wil- liam_Jennings Bryan who wished to see him and recelved an afirmative answor. He was told that Mr. Bryan had been in the city for a month, but had been sick all that time, and the fact had been Kept from the news papers. The meeting was arranged for 11 o'clock the next day. “I found Mr. Bryan ill in bed, the flush of fever on his face, his resonant voice toned down almost to & whisper and the weakness of bis body so great that he could shake hands but feebly. He told me he had been too 1l to g0 to church for four Sundays. Mr. Bryan said I might be surprised, but it way not always the sermon that Dairy Cows are carefully cared for That’s one reason why Simpson’s Milk is unifo rmly excellent There’s a very good reasrn why Simpson’s Milk is to be preferred—and it is summed up in one word—CARE. CARE of the cows that give the milk. CARE of the milk a in from the dairy. CARE of the bottles fter it has been brought into which it is put. CARE of the delivery to the stores. Always CARE that preserves the purity and quality—and keeps it at the high standard which has given it an enviable reputation. It is always worth while to insist on Simpson’s Milk 30 Seventh St. S.E.

SIMPSON, Proprietor New Phone Exchange Atlantic 70 ENT PLAN Sons = Christmas Upholstery Dainty Suites for the Bedroom Interested him most in a church serv- ice. Tt was very often what we call the ‘long prayer.’ He said he remem- bered the prayers all through the week and derived a great deal of com- fort from them. “He further stated it was a great delight to him to know and be with people gathered in church to pray, that it made him feel in closer touch with those in the community, State and Nation. ‘Prayer keeps you in touch with the heart throbs of people all over the world,” he sald. He had missed these long prayers for four Sundays and that was why he had sent for me to come to see him.” Dr. Radcliffe was tremendously im- pressed by Mr. Bryan's attitude toward prayer and this revelation gave him a new glimpse into a little known element in the great orator’s nature. What had impressed him most about Mr. Bryan up to that time was the statesman’s lovableness. In spite of the fact that he engaged in such_bitter political and moral bat- tles his pastor found him one of the most lovable of men. He never held any personal animosity against any one—an amazing contrast between his public and his private life. “Mr. Bryan derived a great deal of entertainment and amusement from the innumerable cartoons published of himself. He showed me book after book filled with them. They were enormous books and had hundreds, perhaps thousands, of cartoons. Some of them were bitter, cutting, unjust and vicious, yet the subject never harbored any hard feelings toward the artists who drew them. He would shake with laughter as he pointed his finger to this and that one and say, ‘Isn’t that good?" Secretary Bryan was probably the most distinguished regular attendant at the New York Avenue Church since Lincoln,” his pastor wdded. ‘“Ten Presidents have attended the church at one time or another. Presidents Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson were among them when they were in office. Gen. McClellan worshiped there, as have res of NESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1925. judges, Senators and Representatives. But I am referring to Mr. Bryan as a constant attendant Dr. Radcliffe smiled when asked if Mr. Bryan's views on evolution were too radical. “I should not want to say anything that would stir up further || controversy on that point,” he replied. “But I do think that Mr. Bryan's views on evolution were greatly mis- understood. He was perfectly willing that evolution should be taught in but not as established fact. His great point in his fight in Tennessee was what shall childre: be taught to their own that the public schools should not teach anything as a fact or a scientific law that is directly contrary || to their own religious beliefs. 'he controversy over evolution is | largely due to the fact that there are | 100 different definitions of the word. | To many evolution means merely de- velopment.

One Spring he went to New York to make an address. It was about the time he usually ran for President, he said, and he didn't want his speech to be treated from a politi- cal angle so he took “Thou Shalt Not | St for his subject.
