Recently, Rev. Herbert N. Cassor
preached in Lynn, Mass, to the largest
cons aggregation ever seen at a. Sunday ser
vice in any place CT worship in that city
1t was in the Labor church and the sub.
. ject Waa "Who is the anarchist, Bryan
or Hanna?"
The following account is taken from the
New York Journal: ss.,
Wy The auditorium was crowded with peO.
pie Of all shades of political opinion, in
cluding leading Republicans, Democrats
and Populists, several city officials, Local
labor leaders and a delegation from the
. Bryan -Sewall- Williams club, of Boston
AZ The preachers fame AS a pulpit orator is
not confined to New England alone. He
spoke for two hours and reused his hear
s ers to high pitch Of enthusiasm when he
8 said that Nebraska never had a. better
e loved son than Bryan"
ff3 The Rev Mr.. Casson said that as his
sermon was political one, he would omit
the reading of the Scripture lesson, and
editorial articles bearing on his subject
from the New York Journal, which paper,
\ he said was 'the most progressive organ
of public opinion published in the eastern
states today"
B: Mr.. Qasson said in part:
The laws OF prosperity are to be dfscov-
ered,. not constructed. The real leg!sla-
tor for whom this nation waits is he who
shall find and dare to proclaim the per-
feet social order foreocdained by jusice
from the beginning Of the world. The real
anarchist is he who seeks to violate the
laws OF nature for the exclusive benefit
z OF small fraction of the community.
During the present campaign. the epi-
thet anarchist" has been hurled at the
heads Of some of the noblest and most
capable men that this generation has
produced. The fierce searchlight of pub
licity has blazed upon these men for
years, and not single corrupt official act
has ever been discovered IL.
Bryan is caricatursd, just as Lincoln
i was, as IVA highwayman, as a pirate, even
as the DEVIL and in many similar ways.
Whether Bryan political views are en-
tire1y correct ar not, who cap, deny THAT
n he is a CITIZEN Of whom all ma tion Gin tn e
world might boast? ;;f$
Y
itv of his addresses, his gentlemanly en-
duranca of slander and presentation
his unsrl]!ed public career, Or the mag
netism Of his unaffected cordiality to the
sweat stained masses that greet him at
every depot, we cannot avoid admirine
him as a, sturdy specimen of our Ameri-
can manhood. - r.. ~ :
Compare him with the gagged dsindivid-
nal who trembles. in his mortgaged house
lest Hanna may foreclose. Compare him
with that unfortunate Napoleon who has
already met his Wellington and surren-
,dered his convictions, and it is plain to
see which best represents the principles
OF the Declaration of Independence.
Bryan is the spokesman of the half
awakened producers, who form nine
tenths Of the population. He and his as
sociates 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.
