The infidel know a groat deal about geology and he could not help leaking out facts that contradicted the Bible story of the creation and the flood. He knew a groat deal about natural history, and ho could not help tolling that tho rabbit and the hare did not chow the cud, in sp'to of the fact that the blessed Bible? says that they do. He knew a great deal about ohemistry, and ho could not help teach!.-.,' that ono element could not, be changed into another element that It was impossible to turn water into wine, because that would contradict a fact in. nature, Ono day tWs infidel professor was lecturing on the indestructiblity of matter and tho persistence of force; and ho made this remark: "It is one .of the demonstrated facts of nature that matter cannot be created or destroyed- that its quantity is constant that it cannot be increased or diminished.

This sin rift remark rltlrnvfl(l cm lm mdral soul, as will be shown by hi There was a young student in the class that day who had been brought up in an orthodox Christian home, and who bad never entertained a doubt -as to the truth of tho Christian religion. This young student had also read Mr. Bryan's lecture on "The Prince of Peace'1 and Mr. Bryan's address before the constitu tional convention of Nebraska, and was thoroughly imbued with Mr. Bryati's ideas on religion. Up to this time hjs soul was safe. But. this young student heard this frightful remark of the infidel pro- iesBor, ana weht from the class room yory sorrowfuU HO went to his room, Ho took down the well worn B'ble from the shelf . He turned to Mark's Gospel and opened It at the sixth chapter. He then read the story of feeding of five thousand hungry men with fivo loaves and two usnos, arter wnlch feast there re mained twelve basketfuls of tho frnn. Lments, He pondered over the text, una. compared u with the remarks or his professor. His mind was in sore distress. He saw that there Was a con tradiction between tlie remarks of the professor and the story of the gospel, - All that night ho tossed on his pil low, whpu tho morning was come, he carried the Bible to theN house o the professor,. He showed him tho Bacrod text He then read from his class note book the remarks tho pro fessor had made tho day before which aro quoted above. The profes sor said nothing, but he smiled. That smile destroyed a human soul. It proved to tho poor student that tlie professor did not believe the gospel story. It sowed tho seeds of doubt.

M'JONLEY'S 5FRQ?fT PORCH CAftmAIGN . The ancient parable of the moun-"' tain that declined to come to Ma" hornet, who thereupon sent off to the mountain, -was contradicted by events of 1896 when l William McKinley quietly sat on 'his front porch rocker and let tho presidency come to his steps In 1920 Harding is campaigning along lines suggested by the prece dent. Ohio is a natural center for such a campaign. Nejghborliness there is regarded as the greatest vir tue and it is a dull day when a crowd is not. easily available to warrant the remarks intended for tho press cor respondents. . ;. The first, front-porch campaign be gan; quite spontaneously, while Mc Kinloy was being nominated at St. Louis a. group of fifty, neighbors' as sembled at the McKinley iom7;bn North Market, street in Canton., 'UA telegraphic instrument had' been in stalled in the house. When the bUlr letia announced that McKinley had been nominate, he :ate$d; to Iciis' his wife ." and mother." Neighbors, tions. McKinley mounted a chair and delivered, impromptu, tho first speech of tho campaign. Astute managers quickly realized the possibility of conducting a stay at-home campaign, and delegation af ter delegation went to Canton, to hear the nominee on the issues of the day, Which were chiefly the tariff and tho monoy question. "GooH money never made time's hard," was the cehtral thought Of his discourse. la tho democratic convention at Chicago In July William J. Bryan de livered the historic speech that brought him the nomination and made free silver the supremo issue of the campaign. "We fehall answer thoir demaiid for the gold standard," ho crfe'd,- "by saying to them: 'You shall not press" down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You -shall -not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." - ' Bryan, "tho boy orator," in cam paign parlance, conducted a whirl wind campaign, traveling about tho country in a special train. The op position press alleged that he "spread himself thin over a dozen, states," that ho was engaged In a "frantic journey of self-advertisement," and referred sarcastically to. his "hun dreds of thousands" of sneechea. McKinley won an electoral decik sion, zyjl to 176, but Bryan made a reputation as a campaigner which will survlvo as -a great tradition of American politics. -Harry W.
