BRYAN MAKES ADDRESS
TO MISSIONARY UNION
Tells Baptists He Is Greatly Inter-
ested in Work at Home
and Abroad.

Great interest in the work done by
foreign as well as home missions was
expressed by William Jennings Bryan,
Secretary of State, IN an address at the
closing session of the Baptist Woman's
Missionary Union. held yesterday after
noon In the First Baptist Church.
Il am greatly interested in missions
and appreciate the great work which has
been carried on by the missionaries of
your faith" declared Secretary Bryan.
Some years ago 1 visited Rangoon,
Burma. where your great missionary
Judson was so active | saw the idol
worshipers there and the great work
which is being carried on by your church.
Judson was a great man, and when he
departed from this life he left a great
memorial He left 163 churches and
1000 converts
The Secretary related numerous in
stances in which missionaries are being
received by the heathens.
Rev. W. o. Carver of Louisville, KY

MAIL CARRIERS REST
DEPENDS ON PATRONS
Full Day for Thanksgiving Means
Deferred Delivery Until
Next Morning.

Postmaster Merritt Is now wrestling
with the proposition whether the Presi-
dents Thanksgiving proclamation means
that the local letter carriers are to lay
aside their usual vocation and enter
into the spirit Of the day, In company
with their families. To do SO means to
suspend the z o'clock carrier delivery of
mail the morning of Thanksgiving day.
This, 1t is understood, is done in nearly
every large city In the country. but for
soma reason the local carriers have not
enjoyed that immunity. although Post
master Merritt was one Of the earliest In
the field in an effort to relieve the car
r1ers from Sunday work.
The department. It is said. leaves the
matter optional with the postmaster. and
the postmaster is not averse to the propo-
sition, unless there should be substantial
protest from the people Of Washington.
which is not anticipated.
Still. 1t Is understood, the postmaster
will defer action In the case until he can
receive some intimation from the patrons
of the Office that they will be willing to
wait until the morning after Thanksgiv-
ing day for any mail that may come for
them in time for delivery by the car
rfers who would ordinarily leave the
once at z o'clock the morning OF that
day. In other words, 1t Is up to the
people Of Washington whether or not
the carriers shall have their full days
holiday THANKSGIVING day.

What He Thought In July.

: IF such a board as is proposed were
formed by apo -nting the seven leading
bankers of the United States-whoever
they may be-and these men became dis
soc ated from the daily conduct Of actual
affairs, and sat in Washington, directing
at arms length the operation Of the sew
eral reserve banks, they would very
rapidly lose the power to direct wisely.
it seems to me that the only proper
method of control must be through a
board composed of practical bankers. in
direct touch with current business, who
are selected for short terms by the MEM
Der banks.
In direct contraventions of this posi-
ton, Mr.. yander.ip and his Wall street
associates come here at the last hour,
linging consistency to the winds, pro-
posing a politically appointed board, not
one member of which Is to be selected
by the stockholding banks, but all by
The President Of the United States. Mr..
Vanderlip in July objected to the long
lerm of seven years provided by the
House bill, but now in October he would
stretch the term to fourteen.
MIR. Vanderlip, in his testimony be-
fore the Senate committee differentiated
his bill from the House bill In several
important features, among them: Uni
of regiona. discount rate Three months
ago Mr.. Vanderlip in his letter highly
commended the House bill for its supe-
rior.ty to the Aldrich scheme in the very
particular in which he now condemns
the House bill IN contrast with his own
plan. l again quote from his letter OF
July -:

RELIGION OF THE JEWS
HAS NO RITUAL MURDER"
Presbyterian Clergyman Takes Rus
sian Government to Task
for Trial.

The ritual murder trial. in Russia
was scored by Rev. DR.. Charles Everest
Granger. pastor Of the Gunton-Tenple Me-
mortal Presbyterian Church, last night in
his sermon. He assailed the Russian gov
eminent and the Christians Of Russia. and
compared the trial with that of Christ.
DR.. Granger defended the Jews. and de-
clared that history proved that there ex-
listed no such thing as a ritual murder
in their creed. He laid the whole blame
at the feet of the Russian authorities and
the Greek Catholic Church.
He declared that In the ritual murder
trial. there are strong earmarks of ''ab-
surdity and insincerity.'' THE story Of
the Jewish religion. the characteristics oe
the Jewish race and the reputation of the
accused individual he said. ARE all
against the probability Of a ritual muir
der One Of the first great lessons that
Israel received from Great Jehovah was
the lesson given to Abraham on the
mount. when he would have offered up
Isaac as a human sacrifice. That human
sacrifice was not desired. and Abraham
and the patriarchS never forgot That
lesson.
1.-THE weight Of evidence is that Be:liss
would be strange Jew to 90 contrary
| to the religion and the custom Of his people,
No Jewish ceremony would require or
admit 1t. On the other hand. we see that
history attests that early Europeans were
much given to these sacrifices, and history
suggests that there Is much more ikeli-
| hood of an orthodox Russian Christian
perpetrating such an outrage than an
orthodox Russian Jew.
1.-THE cold truth Is that the orthodox
Greek Catholic hates all other religions
hates the Roman Catholic, the Protestant
and the Jew. But those outrages which
they dare not perpetrate against the Ro-
man Catholic or the Protestant they turn
against the defenseless Jew"
