Mr.. Bryan Makes Statement OF
His Life Work

From the Comnoner OF Nov. ~, 1908:
The papers are publishing the follow
ing open letter from Evangelist Rev.
French e. Oliver to Mr.. Bryan
Twelve ago l wrote you a letter In
which / stated my conviction that you
should preach the gospel, and sdded
the statement that II you would conse.
crate your wonderful talents to 0od-as
an evangelist. the Bryan Of the TWEEN.
tieth century would equal the Paul OF
the First century as a champion OF
the cause OF Christ. Personally your
three defeats have been three sources
Of sorrow to me, as I have hoped to see
You elected to the presidency. Who
knows Perhaps God has withheld the
presidency from you In order that you
may become more to your country
than president. am firply convinced
that one ambassador OF Christ OF your
calibre Is worth more to this nation
than ten thousand presidents. This
impression regarding your fitness for
the great work named has been strong
in my heart for twelve years, and pray
God that it may become fire in your
great soul"
Mr.. Bryan appreciates the compli-
ment and has often expressed his high
opinion of the minister's mission and
work, but Mr.. Brysn's work lies In
another line. lie has for eighteen years
been a co-worker with several millions
of his countrymen in the effort to i'm
prove the government by the securing
of remedial legislation. The ties that
have been formed during these years
cannot be easily broken, and the obli
cations incurred can not be lightly dis
regarded. Important as is the work OF
the evangelist, the work OF the REFORM
er is not to be despised, aud Mr.. Bryan
is interested In reforms. At the call OF
his party he has three times been can
didate for the presidency and, though
defeated. he has had the loyal support
Of between six and seven millions OF
voters. No question arises In his mind
or enters his heart as to his present
duty. The war Is not over; 1t can not
end while there Is an abuse to be
remedied or public good to be &C.
cured. He could no more desert with
honor than a soldier could, without
disgrace, lay down his arms in the
presence Of the enemy.
Mr.Bryan has spoken upon religious
subjects aud will speak again as oppor-
tunity offers, for he believes that q
sense of responsibility to God is the
most potent influence that enters Into
mans life, and he believes that those
in public life have an opportunity to
apply the fundamental principles OF
Christianity to present problems. Mr..
Bryan lie quito sure that his life work 10
in the study of the science Of govern
ment and in the discussion OF public
questions from the standpoint Of the
interests OF the common people as he
understands these interests. This work
he can do with tongue ard with pen
aud he finds an ample reward In the
consciousness that he 10 serving his
countrymen.

DIR. RUFFNER's WORK AS AN
EDUCATOR

In the death Of DR.. William

ful resident of Rockbridgs county,
Virginia has lost one Of her most
distinguished educators. Thor

Union Theological Seminary, Ham"

Of Virginia, Charlottesville, be
was unconsciously fitting himself
for the great part he has taken in
the educational work Of Virginia.
The public school system of Vir-
GINA 10 a monument to the learn
ing and craftsmanship of DR..
Ruffner. Called to this position
in 1870. without any previous ex-
perisnce in public education, he
entered upon his duties with zeal
and inspiration and In a short
time he evolved system that has
rem aimed practically unchanged to
the present time. His success IN
preparing scheme of public in
struction, when he was unfamiliar
with the details Of public school
education, renders his work all the
more remarkable. When asked
how he came to devise so satisfact-
DRY q school system in so short a
time DR.. Ruffner replied, II have
sometimes answered luck; some
times, inspiration; and sometimes,
common sense. think the last is
tbs true answer"
When he took hold Of the edu-
cational work of the public schools
DR.. Ruffner found that he had to
begin at the bottom and lay the
foundations for the system. A
school bill had to be prepared for
the Legislature. He went to work
at the task, and in seventeen days
he had drafted his scheme, whi,h
he submitted to leading educators
for criticism. Some suggestions
were made in the matter OF detail,
but no changes were made in the
general cast of the document. AT
ter this bill was passed by the
Legislature, DR.. Ruffner still had
the difficult task of organizing the
schools and getting them into
good working ORDER. After q tour
of the Northern States, be estab-
lished graded sch dolls and teachers
institutes, and his scheme foe
grading the country schools re-
ceived the commentator CT the
department of education at Wash
ington. His plan for an Agricultur
al and Mechanical College devel
oped into the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute at Blaeksburg. He or
ganized the State Female Normal
School at Farmville, and was its
first president.
These three-the public school
systemof Virginia, the Sta.e Fee
male Normal School and the Viz
ginia Polytechnic Institute-stsnd
as monuments to his far-seeing
vision and craftsmanship.
