THIRTIETH YEAR fie The Greatest Theme I offer no apology for speaking upon a religious theme for it is the most universal of all themes I am interested in the science of government but I am more inter ested in religion than in govern ment I enjoy making a political speech I have made a good many and shall make more hut I would rather speak on religion than on politics I began speaking on the stump -when I was only twenty but I began speaking in the church six years earlier and I shall be in the church even after I am out of politics I feel sure of my ground when I make a po litical speech but I feel even more certain of my ground when I make a religious speech While to me the science of government is intensely absorbing I recogniz ed that the most important tilings an life lie outside -of the realm of government and that more de pends upon what the individual does for himself than upon what the government does or can do for him Men can be miserable under the best government and they can be happy under the verj worst government Government affects but a part of -the life we live here and does not deal at all with life beyond while religion teaches the infin ite circle of existence as well as the small arc of that circlewhich j we spend on earth Xo greater theme therefore can engage our attention If 1 discuss questions of government T must secure the co operation of a majority before I can put my ideas into practice but if in speaking on religion I can toucn one uuman neart lor good I have not spoken in vain no matter how large the majority inav be against me W J Bryan
