civilian Jennings Bryan has been a
member of the Presbyterian church since
his youth, and ever since he became a
national celebrity he has been active in a
quiet way in religious work." said a
layman. Now that he is in the cabinet
he is in great demand as an orator for
religious occasions.
"The religious press is speaking eulogis-
tically of him. AS one of them expressed
it, Mr. Bryan is force for moral and
religious life quite beyond any other man
among his fellow citizens. The Boston
Congregationalist says of Mr.. Bryan:
His has been an intuitiye and positive
faith. His interest in religion has been
intellectual only as he has found argu-
ments to buttress the faith that was in
him.
"'For him there are no intellectual DIFF
ficulties-the soul of religion in its sim
plest forms was In him and is unshaken
to this day. Doubt seems never to have
dwelt in him, as Is the case with many
men. His participation in church work
and life does not suffer vacation moods.
He gives tenth of his income to the
work of the kingdom. He has probably
given more money, quietly and without
special urging, to church building enter
prises in the city of Lincoln than any
other citizen. He has done this in a way
that has kept the fact from public knowl-
edge 3"

A PATHETIC CASE.


'I am a child wife and I got a stinger
for a husband" writes a young woman
to a newspaper. Her cruel and jealous
spouse won't even let her go down to the
grocery store. ,Tis sad to contemplate
matrimonial infelicMy, and yet, the fact
that this same "chIld wife" refers to her
liege lord as a 'sainger' seems to indl-
cate certain anount of acidity in her
temper which may or may not account
child wife should refer to her husband
In public print as. a "stipger." For one
thing. great many people surmise, but
do not know definitely just what is meant
by "stinger. . Others will be of the
opinion that the term is opprobrious, no
matter what its exact meaning may be,
and is therefore in bad taste. If she can
prove that her husband is really
'stinger' and all that stinger seems to
imply, there is no reason why she should
not look forward to an early divorce
with alimony.
