Mr. Bryan at Kansas
City
GIVEN OVATION .
(From the Kansas City Journal,
Juno 28).
William Jennings Bryan didn't dis
appoint the thousands who crowded
convention hall last night.
They came expecting a defense of
tho rigid, literal interpretation of tho
Bible. Mr. Bryan gave it to them.
They came anticipating something of
tho old-time power of speech in scorn
ful, sarcastic argument. They heard
it.
And evidently they liked it. They
cheered Mr. Bryan as once they
cheered him, back in 1900, when he
spo,ke as the "Peerless Leader" of a
great political party. They cheered
him this time as a preacher of the
Word: as a defender of the faith
of tho old fathers.
And if there were those who did
not like it, they remained silent.
Back there in 1900 Mr. Bryan
preached eloquently of the double
standard of money and won follow
ers. Last night he preached a single
standard of morals and alluded face
tiously to it.
There was no hint of rebuke in his
manner of speech for those who had
so recently brought about the with
drawal of the first invitation issued
to him to appear on tho program of
tho convention. He seemed only glad
o.f the opportunity to bring to a close
the convention of the International
Sunday School association a conven
tion declared by leaders of the or
ganization to be tho greatest yet.
But he made no apologies for his
defense of the Bible intact. A Bryan
whose voice has lost something of
the old resonant ring, who is per
haps more feeble of frame, less em
phatic of gesture, on whom has be
gun to tell the ravages of passing,
strenuous years, it was yet the force
ful fighting Bryan, who could offer
no excuses for defending the thing
he professed to believe.
troduced Mr. Bryan as "his friend."
When Mr. Bryan stepped to the
speakers' rostrum, the crowd again
stood and cheered for several sec-
oiids. Mr. Bryan motioned with his
palm leaf fan and the crowd was
seated. His first few words, acknowl
edging the Introduction, were spoken
in a clear voice which could be heard
in the farthermost parts of the hall.
Throughout his address, the com
moner emphasized his remarks by
gesticulating with the fan. Oc
casionally he fanned himself vigor
ously, when he became particularly
vindictive against the doctrine of
evolution.
His preachments of the old
fashioned religion and an unerring
Bible were interrupted frequently by
applause.
Mr. Bryan told of his forty years
as a Sunday school teacher and ro
lated experiences he had in that time.
He indorsed the principles of the in
ternational association and praised
its work.
Mr. Bryan started ' speaking at
9:15 o'clock and closed his address
at 10:45 o'clock.

PLEADS FOR BIBLE
(From tho Kansas City Times,
June 28.)
The largest attendance of the Sun
day schopl convention was reached
last night at the closing session.
There was not an unoccupied seating
space in the building.
Only a few persons left the hall
before the ' end of the" night's pro
gram. The audience was strictly at
tentive throughout. It was a Chris
tian assemblage, eager to hear a
prominent brother speak.
It was a demonstrative crowd, un
like the assemblages at the regular
sessions of the convention. Long be
fore the choir opened a, musical pro
gram, tne nan was ailed.
Awaiting the president's call to
order, the delegates sang. They
clapped their hand in unison. A
group in one section of the hall sang
"America" while another section
sang "God Be With You 'Till We
Meet Again."
There were cheers and more songs
It was spontaneous singing, without
leaders and without musical accom
paniment. If the crowd was demonstrative be
fore the program began, it might be
called uproarous when W. J Bryan
appeared in the archway at the back
of tho stage and descended the stens
to the, speakers' platform. Plo Was
GSC,,rt,e(L by tllree Patrolmen, who
guided the orator through the chorus
Mr. Bryan wore a long black al
paca coat. His face was wreathed in
the Bryanesque smile. He carried a
palm leaf fan which he waved inter
mittently to the crowd and used it to
fan himself.
Dr. W. O. Thompson, president, In-
TALKED BY RADIO
"(From Kansas City Star, June 28.)
It was the same dynamic Bryan of
ten years agoi twenty years ago
who talked into the microphone in
The Star's radio, studio last night.
Times change. Political parties
change, but Bryan he might just as
well have been addressing a Chautau
qua under a canvas top, instead of an
invisible audience of countless thou
sands. It was his first visit to a radio
broad-casting station. It was his first
experience of talking entirely to an
unseen audienco, but he plunged in
with the same verbal aggressiveness
that is typically Bryan.
He stood before the tinv micro
phone, a palm leaf fan grasped in. his
right hand which was clasped by the
left hand behind his back. He em
phasized each word with forcefulness,
pausing only to wave the-frayed fan
in front of his face, causing his long
white lawn tie to sway slightly in the
breeze. Then back went the fan to its
resting place behind his back, where
it rested against the long loose alpaca
coat.
Mr. Bryan' talked into the micro
phone forcefully, emphasizing his re
marks by shaking-his head or bring
ing his lips into a straight line to
carry home a point. He is older in
years but has the same rigorous de
livery of the "Prince of Peace" and
"Cross of Gold" days.
Mr. Bryan was introduced, by Dr.
William T. Ellis, who said:
"How absurd to think of introduc
ing William Jennings Bryan to any
company of Americans the biggest
single human in our country; the
man who embodies in himself more
of moral force and idealism than any
other single figure now in the world
The man who has stood as like Gib-
r?lta,for the things that are right,
the things that are beautiful, the
things that are American. I am
proud to be permitted to introduce
my fr end, my fellow newspaper man,
my fellow interpreter of the old Book.
Honorable William Jennings Bryan!'1
Mr. Bryan's address was a digest
of his talk before the Sunday school
convention last night, which is
printed in another part of The Star.
His preliminary remarks, however
were in praise of the radio. He said-

air, filling each cubic foot of space in
an area of 25 millions of square
milos. I don't know how much fur
ther it threw my voice, for we haven't
had. a chance to hear from the out
lying districts. That pastor received
two 'thousand letters within two
week's from persons who had heard
it. ,They came from as far west as
California, as far north as Winnipeg
as far south as the Honduras, and as
far as east as Porto Rico; and when,
a few days afterwards, I visited tho
Westinghouse plant, an official told
me tliat eight minutes after I had ut
tered a word, it had reached the sun,
that my voice was still going on. and
he didn't know where it was then.
and I haven't been able to get track
of it since.
"I think the radio is the most
wonderful thing that man lias yet
drawn from out God's mysteries, and
I do not know yet how much the
world owes to the one who discovered
this method of communication, hut
we have no doubt that it opens a field
almost infinite in its extent, and we
know that because of this means of
communication, the world is being
brought nearer together, and it is
possible for one who has a messago
for the 'world to speak now to a
larger audience- than any human be
ing ever spoke to in the days that are
gone."
Preceding Mr. Bryan's talk, Dr.
Ellis, war correspondent and author,
addressed the invisible audience on
the subject "The Big Thing that Has
Happened in the World."
MR. BRYAN'S FINE MESSAGE
That was a noble and moving ap
peal that Mr. Bryan made at the Sun
day school convention last night for
the great ideals of religion. At a time
when on every hand there is such a
struggle for material rewards, when
selfishness is made a god, when men
seek ruthlessly to thrust out of their
way every public interest that blocks
their path, there is need to emphasize
the saving truths of the teachings of
Christ.
This is what Mr. Bryan did with
forceful eloquence. His address was a
sermon addressed to the America of
ruthless greed and lawlessness; to
the America of youthful criminals,
and of men and women who keep
within the letter of the law, but
ignore its spirit.
There- will be differences of opinion
on Mr. Bryan's views on evolution.
But these were an incident in nis
speech. On its fundamentals, on tne
principles of conduct he laid down,
men and women of every shade oi
thought will heartily agree.
That righteousness exalteth a na
tion was his essential message. itj
a message the country needs today
