in November ineXpressibly worse than
was Bryan in either of his campaigns.
The discovery of vast deposits of
gold in Alaska and elsewhere since the
free silver campaigns has eliminated
the money issue from politics. Mr.
Bryan has accepted this fact and now
stands upon other Democratic issues.
Despite all opposition. he has domi-
mated the national Democracy for
twelve years, For several years past
he has given expression to his views
in the weekly journal. the Commoner.

has removed to a fine farm near Lin

as the great American commoner,"
titular successor to Henry Clay. He
has travelled around the world and
written his Impressions for d syndicate
of American newspapers. He has been
for years the most popular aud highest
paid lecturer on the American lyceum

that his income from featuring alone
is as much as soO,uCU year. the presi-
dents salary.
Mr. Bryan is total abstainer from

Of the Presbyterian church and never

igious address now and then. His
ideal is morality. personal. political
and civic. The Bryan Of 1908 looks
older than the Bryan OF 1896 but he is
no less vigorous and virile than he was

Some people are thrown Off their

seem to have the ability to over
come impediments and do their
work in spite of annoyance.
ANYBODY can work when every

must be made of the right kind OF
stuff who can rise upon the things
which annoy, harass and handicap
the weak and do his work in spite OF
them. Indeed, this is the test OF
Greatness.
As matter Of fact, the greatest
achievements in all times have been
accomplished by men and women
who have been handicapped, annoy

The man who is not big enough to
rise above the things that trouble
him, who cannot overtOp his aches

There is an unwritten law for peO-

BIG SIMULTANEOUS REVIVAL.

One Thousand Converts Recorded Dur.
ing One Week In Philadelphia.
The chief topic in Philadelphia today
is the Chapman-Alexander revival
movement, which is rousing the whole
city to new religious feryor. Simulta-
neous meetings are held nightly in
twenty-one churches, in addition to al
most daily services in theaters, facto-
ries and saloons. There are now about
fifty evangelists and gospel singers as
sisting DR.. j. Wilbur Chapman and
Charles NJ Alexander in the concert
ed attack on the city. while before the
effort is concluded the number of help
ers will reach seventy-fve There are
300 churches cooperating In the move
ment, with 5000 personal workers,
5000 singers in district choirs, 1000
ushers, 1000 doorbell ringers to invite
people to the meetings and $50 district
leaders.
During the first week over 1000 con-
verts were recorded, and DIR. Chap
man and Mr.. Alexander are enthusi-
astic over results and the outlook. Dr..
Chapman says: Every report given to
us so far indicates sweeping victory.
This is the sixty-ninth city we have
visited in the simultaneous evangelis-
tic meetings, and in no city have we
found the preparation more satisfacto-
ry, the expectation greater and the
general condition of things SO hopeful
to our work as in this city"
2 Mr.. Alexander is equally optimistic.
He says: 'Not since the days of the
great gospel campaign In Chicago dur
ing the Worlds fairiled by Moody have
l seen so many trained Christian work.
ers brought together In one city to
reach the unsaved / have never seen
SO many gifted leaders of gospel song
cooperating In one mission as are now
engaged in Philadelphia. We are not,
however, depending upon men, num-
bers. reorganization or methods. but
solely upon God"
DR.. Chapman and Mr.. Alexander, as
sisted by Paul Gilbert, soloist. and
Robert Hardness, pianist, are conduct
ing meetings In Bethany church. Of
which John Wanamaker is >an elder.

No feature of the revival is being
more emphasized. than the effort is to

In speaking of the relation of the
movement to the ministers Dr. Chap
man said: ut stands for special as

Cooper's Followers Give
Reason for Their Belief


With theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, i. T. Cooper, a comparatively
young man, has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead
ing cities of the country, and in each
city has aroused storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens of thousands
and his preparation has sold in inn
mense quantities. d
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In view
of this, the following statements from
two of the great number of followers
which he now has, are of general in
terest:
