The Commoner.
13
states, experts and business was held
in the White IIouso to conserve our
timber lands, our ore beds and our
soil, and since that memorable
gathering conservation has been in
the platforms of our political parties.
It is well and good, but the most
valuable things in our country are
not our timber lands, our ore beds
nor our soil, but our motherhood
and manhood are better."
A moment later he thundered out
that if men should attain their high
est physical and mental development,
or if they should sink to the lowest
level and remain nothing more than
an animal, he is better than brutes
and our natural resources. He went
further, and declared that if a man
is not good enough to bo raised he
is not worth the cost of raising him
to man's estate. Regarding the edu
cationar opportunities in the United
States, he pointed out that the
American people are enthusiastic
about their schools and colleges, but
only a small percentage of the popu
lation have taken advantage of get
ting a college education. He said
that if all the boys and girls are de
veloped to the highest physical and
mental perfection they will not be
valuable additions to our social
system unless they are trained
equally along moral lines."
"The best educated and brightest
minds are more dangerous than
brutes if the former are morally un
fit," he remarked. "If our educated
men and women are going to become
scoundrels, it would be better for
them to remain ignorant, because
it is easier to catch an ignorant
crook than one With culture and
education. With mental training we
need heart development, and, most
of all, we should be strong morally,
physically and mentally. If a man
has a bright brain and a bad heart
and makes use of them for evil, then
he is a bad thing for society.
"In short, there is no foundation
for a moral code except a religious
foundation. I know that statement
affords a field for controversy, but
I am accustomed to controversies
and do not feel embarrassed when I
run into them. Some persons be
lieve they can build a moral code
from a materialistic foundation, but
the time will never come when we
are able to build up a moral code
without a religious foundation un
less a great catastrophe destroys our
present social system."
Most persons are liable to be de
ceived as to their power of reason
ing, Mr. Bryan explained, and if any
one wants to know to what exent
they are infallible they should go
into politics. He facetiously ob
served that he had tried his reason
ing powers on 10,000,000 voters in
three campaigns, and could not de
pend on them at all. For the bene
fit of the non-Presbyterians present
he made it cleaT that he did not be
lieve any church or creed is liable
to offer the best religious foundation
for such a moral code as he had
mentioned.
On the subject of atheism, ho said,
Christians have given atheists too
much latitude, and permitted them
to ask all the questions relating to
the existence of God. He urged that
it is time for Christians to do the
asking, and that atheism is a sys
tem that leaves nothing to excite
awe or anything to awaken religious
tenderness. In explaining the mys
terious existence of life, he declared
that a close study of all living ob
jects should convince any person of
the existence of God and the divinity
.of Christ.
"We live In an atmosphere of
mystery," he went on, "and even
love is a mystery of our social world.
It can not be defined on any scientific
scale or measured by man's stand
ard. For Instance, a man may not
love bis wife, but what husband can
understand the mystic fact that his
wife loves him. Patriotism is also
a mystery, and no government can
get along without It. In tho last
campaign we had a man who failed
to obtain a nomination and another
one who received tho electoral votes
of only two states, but if war had
been declared against this country
the day after election and Mr. Taft
had issued a call for volunteers
there would have been 1,000,000
men in lino before sundown without
any emblems of donkey, mooso or
elephant on their arms. That is the
mystery of patriotism. Wo also have
tho mystery of food which mado the
puro food law necessary. God-made
law is as good an man's, but BtUI wo
can not forco Him to put a label on
the can. Wo do not havo mystory
in our dining rooms, but only in tho
church."
Mr. Bryan caused ripplos of laugh
ter when he said that if any young
man can not understand tho theory
of life ho should ponder over why
a red cow that eats green grass gives
whito milk.
At tho conclusion of Mr. Bryan's
address ho was so eager to catch a
train in North Philadelphia ho had
reached tho street beforo ho dis
covered ho had forgotten his watch.
When ho walked to hJa automobllo
several persons grasped his hands
and gave him a rousing sond-off.
