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
