Bryan Speaks Words Of
Truth.
Continued from First Page.)

WulCH, dICeT touching upon various great
phases OF life which appealed to him, and
! all OF which went to the spiritual bet
| terment of mankind took as the theme OF
his remarks the idea of Jesus Christ as
the prince of Peace" title of the Mes
siah that he held to be worth the greatest
consideration. He disclaimed any idea
of attempting to prove by miracles or by
the manner of the birth of Christ His
divinity, but said that the historic fact
| that He lived was full evidence of this,
and that the manner and character OF His
life the philosophy He preached fully
! proved this, for no other man had given
such philosophy to the world. His pure
life, His humility and all His acts were
such that no other man equalled them,
and no other gave such a gospel.
| He pelad for lives modelled on the life
| of Christ and held that the influences of
these never ended but went on forever,
| being more enduring than monuments.
Luves such as His would make better
government and better nations for broth
erl ylove would prevail and peace would
reign. Wars would end, not because men
were not courageous, but because Christ
in the heart was the true courage. He
held that if the Christians of today had
of Christ that the evangelization of the
world would be rapidly accomplished.
Then Mrs. Horace Dowell sang a most
beautiful solo part in splendid anthem
rendered by the choir Following this
a collection was taken, this being for the
purpose OF paying the expenses of Y. M.
C. A. delegates from the college associa-
ton to the State meeting of the associa-
ton to be held in Asheville On the 18th
of June.
In the evening Mr.. Bryan was the guest
of Chief Justice Clark at his home, and
met there a few friends, who dned with
him.
Yesterday morning the inclement wealth
er was such that it was impossible to
take Mr. Bryan on a drive to the principal
points of interest in the city. He re-
manned at the home of Mr.. Daniels during
the morning, and number of gentlemen
called to pay their respects to the distin-
guished Nebraskan.
Shortly before II o'clock the weather
cleared and in company with Governor
Aycock, Major E. ]. Hale, of Fayetteville,
and Mr.. Josephus Daniels, Mr.. Bryan was
taken in carriage to the A. and M. Col
llege, where there had been arranged re-
ception and for Mr.. Bryan to dine with
| the cadets.
| At the college President Winston met
the party, and joining number OF the
professors visit was made to the me-
chanical and textile buildings Mr.. Bryan
was greatly interested in the work IN
| iron and steel done by the young men.

laughingly remarked, North Carolina
boys who are to make politicians will GER
tainl ybe trained in machinery here to
which Governor Aycock in the same
jocose mood replied: North Carolinians
are born machinists," and there were
smiles all around.
| Great interest was shown by Mr..
Bryan in every feature of the work in
the textile department. He examined the
different patterns being made and praised
the work of the students. He was so
much impressed that he received with
thanks some designs showing to what ex-
| tent the textile work could be carried.
In the library of the college recep-
ton was held, Mr.. Bryan, Governor Ay-
cock and Major Hale being in the receiv
| ing line The visitors and faculty were
the cadets of the college filed in, each
being greeted pleasantly by the distin-
guished gentleman.
Then an invitation was extended to join
the cadets at dinner. Adjourning to the
portico the visitors saw the cadet batal-
| lion form and pass to the dining hall,
where forty tables, with ten at each was
the gathering. AS Mr.. Bryan and the

Mr. Bryan, the guest of honor, was seat

The dinner was a good one, and was
excellently served. All the guests seemed
TO have appetites for the meal and there
wa sno cessation of the CHATTER knives and
forks, till at the sound OF bell the DIM
ner hour was signalled to close. Then
Their ecame voices, and more voices, ana
still more voices, all crying ouI, Dh'"--'

The Nebraskan glanced about HIM,
smile beaming about his face. Captain
Phelps, at an adjoining table, arose ana
signalled for silence and silence came Tor
a moment as Mr.. Bryan started to arse.
MR., BRYAN SPEAKS.
AS Mr.. Bryan arose there was more an
plause. The remarks he made were admir-
able, full of thought and brlstlln5 with
suggestive hints. Without effort there
came clear cut witticisms which the quick
minds of the cadets appreciated, the
laughter of appreciation ard enjoyment
coming instantly. In part Mr.. Bryan
said:
Il am glad to eat with you, to become
acquainted and to learn something OF the
work that is being done here. l have

astcnished at the proficiency shown.
