Lynn. Mass. Oct. 1.-The largest
congregation ever seen at a Sunday
service in any place of worship in this
city assembled in the Labor church
Sunday. to hear the Rev. Herbert N.
Casson preach on the subject, ''Who
is the Anarchist. Bryan or HANNAH
The auditorium was crowded with
people of all shades of political Opin-
ion, including leading republicans,
democrats, and populists, several city
officials, local labor leaders, and a del
egation from the Bryan-Sewall-Wil-
liams club of Boston. The preachers
fame as a pulpit orator is not confined
to New England alone. He spoke for
two hours and reused his hearers to a
high pitch Of enthusiasm when he said
that Nebraska never had a better
loved son than Bryan"
The Rev. Mr.. Casson said that as his
sermon was a political one, he would
omit the reading Of the scripture les
son, and by way of preface read por-

ing IN his subject from the New York
journal, which paper, he said, was
the most progressive organ Of public
opinion published in the eastern states
to-day"
Mr.. Casson said in part:
The laws OF prosperity are to be dis
covered, not constructed. The real leg
islator for whom this nation waits is he
who shall find and dare to proclaim the
perfect social order foreordained by
justice from the beginning OF the
world. The real anarchist is he who
seeks to violate the laws of nature for
the exclusive benefit of a small frac-
ton of the community.
During the present campaign the
epithet anarchist has been hurled at
the heads Of some of the noblest and
has produced. The fierce searchlight
of publicity has blazed upon these men
for years, and not a single corrupt Of
fetal act has ever been discovered. 4

coin was, as a ~highwayman, as a pirate,
eve as the devil, in many similar
ways. Whether Bryan's political
views are entirely correct or not, who
any nation in the world might boast?
whether we consider the sustained
ability of his addresses. his gentleman
ly endurance, OF SANDER and misrepre-
or the magnetism of his unaffected cor
diality to the sweat-stained masses that
greet him at every depot, we cannot
avoid admiring him as a sturdy speci-
men of our American manhood.
Compare him with the gagged indi-
vidual, who tren1bles in his m~ortgaged
house lest Hanna might fOreclose. Com
pare him with that unfortunate Napo-
leon who has already met his Yelling
ton, and surrendered his convictions,
and it is plain to see which best repre-.
sents the principles Of the Declaration
of Independence.
bryan is the spokesman or the hall
awakened producers, who form nine
tenth of the population. He and his
associate have revived the apostolic
power of casting out devils in the
Democratic party and Of raising the
dead to life among the Republican
rank and file.
They have given us at last a rea
issue instead OF a sham one, and thong!
their remedy may seem inadeq uate tc
progressive thinkers, it is in the right
direction and in accordance with the
peoples will.
During the lasy few years we hav'
been rapidly developing a slave ele
ment in our population-a properties
class, entirely dependent upon the sal
of their labor. No longer does Jacl
hobnob with his master. The rich an,
poor do not live in the same quarter 9

our society into two hostile elements
and it is childish to hollow anarchist
at the patriot who proclaims the IN
welcomed facts and seeks to weld tn
nation into unity again by repealin,
the laws that caused it to split assund
er.
America is the workingman's Para
disc Lost, and it can never be regaine'
by passive obedience to the serpent.
