Roosevelt and Bryan's
Bible References

The story is told OF a prominent
man who said in the course OF con-
versation that the Prophet Elijan had
been taken to heaven IN a whirlwind.
A friend corrected him and said that
he had gone up in a chariot OF fire.
The prominent man denied this
yehemently. saying that so illustrious
a prophet and so good a man could
not have been struck by lightning.
The other disputed, and finally they
reached the betting stage. What
shall We bet?" the prominent man
asked His friend replied Seeing
you don't know any more about
Scripture than you do guess II had
better be Bible" And the prom
inent man then and there backed out.
Many citizens know more than the
prominent man who made the mis-.
take about Elijah. but not every one
knows exactly what Mr.. Roosevelt
meant in his great Chicago speech by
Armageddon. I'VE stand at Arranged
don and battle for the Lord" he said
in his spirited peroration, Mr.. Bryan
also can quote Scripture. and, hap
pening TO be reporting the Chicago
convention. he drily put into his ac-
count a reference to Matthew, 20:9
Armageddon is defined in the en-
eyelePedia as Mount OF Megidde) the
Plain OF Esdraelon, the great battle
field of the Old Testament, used figur.
atively in Revelation, 1916. The
passage from Revelation is: And he
gathered them together in a place
called IN the Hebrew tongue Arm.
ageddon And the seventh angel
poured out mis- vial into the air: and
there came a great voice out OF the
temple OF heaven. from the throne,
saying, II is done And there were
voices and thunders and llglftnings;
and there was a great earthquake,
such as was not since men were upon
the earth, so mighty an earthquake,
and so great. And the great city was
divided into three parts, and the cities
of the nations fell; and great Baby
Ion came into remembrance before
God, 10 give unto her the cup OF the
wine of the ferceness OF his wrath.
And every island fed away, and the
were not found. And then
Tell upon men a great hail out OF
heaven, every stone about the weight
OF talent: and men blasphemed
God because of the plague OF the hail;
for the plague thereof was exceeding
great"
Now for Mr.. Bryan's text. His posi-.
ton Is that for years before Mr..
Roosevelt's public life began he has
been the progressive leader and that
Mr.. Roosevelt has appropriated his
policies. He did not put this into
words, but to Mr.. Roosevelt's grandi-
standing at Armageddon bat
Ting for the Lord, Mr.. Bryan replies
with quoting from the parable OF the
laborers In the vineyard: And when
they came that were hired about the
eleventh hour they received every
man his penny" He makes no COM
plant about having borne the burden
and heat OF the day, but simply
points out, quite neatly, thar Mr..

And now II all the Progressives

Since his release from the hospital
where he was operated on for appen-

so good that he could not resist the
temptation to get out every day, and
baked at anything that meant in

from his manager Owing to the
