SERMON BY BRYAN
commoner breaches in An Address
Before Faculty and Stud ents- Incl
dentaIIy Celebrates 4sth Anniversary
of His Birth.

OF S1lS olTIN.
Chicago, March 19.-Milliam Jen-
nings Bryan will be the guest tonight
of the Bryan League. He will deliver
an address on national issues. and in
cidentally the Nebraskan is celebrat-
ing today his 4Sth birthday annivers-
ary.
Faith in God, in the United States
government. in mankind and in ono'%
self, was discussed by Bryan in his
speech delivered to the students and
ternoon.
There are larger things in this life
than the holding of office; there are
greater questions for men to consider
than those treated by the govern
ment," said Bryan. "One OF the great
est of these is faith, which is the prac-
tical question entering into the life Of
every one of us. There can be no great
works without faith. But faith in your
self must have proper foundation. 1T
you are going to fight a great fight,
you must have great purpose. You
must have faith in mankind. Better
trust and be deceived occasionally
than not to trust at all. You must
have faith in your form of government
1t is the best government that was ev-
er conceived in the mind of man. 1t
is not perfect. for when the democrats
are in power you can prove the gov
ernment is not perfect by all the re-
publicans. and when the republicans
are in power no proof is necessary to
show it is not perfect. You must have
faith in Cod which is mos. important
of ALL Man needs inner strength and
conscious presence of the infinite God.
1T gives strength not only to resist
temptation. but also strength to fight
the battles of truth"

persons properly qualified and the ex-
pense of the inspection will be taxed
