Washington, April 15-Next Mon
day will be Children's Day at the
White House, and all the little tots
of the national capital are looking
forward with ill-restrained glee to
the great event. 1t will be "egg-roII-
| ing time" on the handsome lawn
south of the executive mansion, and
as in past years, President Roose-
welt will cause 1t to be thrown open
unreservedly to the children And
the lawn will be exclusively for the
kiddies.
Unless a grown-up is accompanied
by tot too young to take care of
himself the big policemen who guard
all the gates blandly smile and fur
nish the information that the little
people have monopoly on the
grounds. Sometimes grown-ups are
SO anxious to get in that they will
borrow" a child from it's mother
If she has more than one-and thus
slip into the enclosure to watch the
children at play.
The white House lot" Is the CEN
ter of the child life of Washington
on Easter Monday. 1t is not the only
park in which the little folks resort,
but it is the center-the headquar-
ters of all the fun. The president
usually steps out into the rear bal
cony of the White House and studies
the pretty picture presented by thou
sands of happy children. And Mrs.
Roosevelt always spends some time
watching the antics of the egg-roll-
ers. Sometimes the president takes

time for a few words and he never
| mas SO appreciative an audience any
where else. For the little folks can
realize to a surprising degree that
the first man I'M the land is speaking
to them and that the first lady in the
land stands beside him smiling upon
them.
When the gates open at 0 o'clock
Monday morning hordes of little
children bearing baskets of eggs of
every shade and hue will be on hand.
They are preparing now for the fes-
-tival and will be on pins and needles
much of the time until the eventful
hour rolls around. Nc distinction
will be made as to rich or poor, white
and that is all. Between the hours
of 8 to 1 the little folks will romp
until they are weary, roll eggs,
"pick" with each other until their
eggs are all broken, and then be
ready to leave, for the fun stops just
one hour after noon.
The big folks will be amply repaid
later in the afternoon, when the Uni
ted States marine band will give
concert in the same park between
the hours of $3.50 and $40. 1t will
be the first open-air concert of the
season and the White Lot will be
thronged with music lovers. While
the big folks are to be vigorously
excluded from the fun and frolic of
the children, no such prohibition ex-
tends to the tots enjoying the con-
cert. So all of them will have very
full day.

in reviewing the address of Mr.
Bryan delivered before the Denver
The daily sentinel., 1908-04-15

l Ministerial Alliance, paid high tri
butte to the Nebraskan. His remarks
might be summarized as follows:
ITO have such a man as william
Jennings Bryan strongly speaking
on behalf of Christianity is grea
satisfaction to the church." declared
the Rev. DR.. Orin Palmer Wright
pastor of the Warren Methodist
church, last evening in reviewing the
address of Bryan, delivered before
the Ministerial alliance during his
I impressions of Bryan are summarize
| ed:
| His PERSONAL---VERY.. Bryan is a
l well preserved man, and well dressed
without being a dude. His wit never
fails him and is of the good-fellow-
ship, rather than the sarcastic type.
His voice is a fortune, as was that
of the great Spurgeon of London.
Colonel Bryan's powers or endurance
are wonderful. No presidential can
didate or 'spellbinder' ever covered
more territory or made more speech
es in the same length of time than
the 'commoner.'
"Mr. Bryan was asked to address
the ministers of Denver on Monday
afternoon. He met his engagement
promptly and vigorously, although
speaking four or five times day. AS
he faced the pastors it was not the
speech of presidential candidate
addressing leaders in the church of
God; it was rather a heart-to-heart
talk-'a message that gripped the
soul and conscience, from "a layman
loving much the same church of God,
with the spirit of an old prophet and
the method of circuit rider-so
intense and evangelistic that the
meeting had every evidence of a re-
vival campaign. His statement that
to the opposers of Christianity and
that the business of pastors was not
to defend, but to preach the Gospel,
was received with applause.
Ellis Test of a Christian-'The
man who sees the beautiful and holy
character of the Christ, who wants
to be saved from his sin and be
made like his Master, is a Christian,
On the other hand, the man who
sees all the beautiful things in
Christ's life, but who wants to hide
away from them so that he may con-
tinue In sin, has yet to be converted
Mr.. Bryan pleaded for the practical
application of the principles of the
Gospel to everyday life and to all
men. He held that the Bible is one
of the newest as well as one of the
Oldest of books, and must be SO on
account of the divine inspiration.
His address before the ministers
and his speeches elsewhere reveal
the fact that he is a constant and
glad student of the Bible. Perhaps
no man in political life today makes
SO many references by voice and pen
to Holy Writ as William Jennings
Bryan. 1t is a great satisfaction to
the church that such men as Bryan
and Roosevelt-men of national and
international reputation and influ-
ence-take such strong and out
spoken stand on the side of Chris
tianity. Mr.. Bryan has been invited
to deliver his famous lecture. The
Man Of Galilee,' at Baltimore in May,
when the great general conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church
meets, with it's delegates coming
from all nations"
