MR.. BRYAN
SHOWS HEAT

The newspapers have recently
printed stories of colloquy between
William Jennings Bryan and Rev DR..
L. G. Broughton, pastor of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church of New
York. The scene is laid at Asheville,
N. c. 1t has recently been suggested
that Mr.. Bryan is by no means as
much in demand for church lectures
as he was some time ago and this is
attributed to his attack on the New
York minister.
The Rev. DR.. Len G. Broughton
announced in his church that his SER
mon next Sunday afternoon would
deal with the war situation in Eng
land. This announcement revealed
the story that DR.. Broughton and
other clergymen in this country have
broken a long friendship with William
Jennings Bryan.
The sermon DR.. Broughton intends
to preach next Sunday, '"The Sword
of Goliath Moving Into the Hands of
David" is one to which Mr.. Bryan
is believed to have taken exception to
few weeks ago. At any rate, the
former Secretary of State and DR..
Broughton quarrelled over the war sit
uation in the dining room of hotel
in Asheville, N. c.
"When ] was in Asheville," said
Or. Broughton. 81 met Mr.. Bryan in
hotel there and he began CONVEX
sation with me about the war and
chiefly about the situation in England.
A lecture l had delivered the night
before, or perhaps the sermon | had
preached the Sunday before, may have
had something to do with Mr.. Bryan's
! broaching the subject and his manner
of discussing it with me.
"He said this country had to pu:
, an end to the war situation. told
him that this country had to DO 20
such thing, that I had been in Eng
land six months during the early
stages of the war and that 1 knew
the situation there.
"You can take it from me, l told
I him, that those allies will never in
the world let up until the last man
of them is dead or until the wa:
party in Europe is disarmed or
brought to its knees.
I "We had words. He flew into
rage and said l belonged to the blood
thirsty war party and that | had turn
ed my back on the Bible and Christi
anity. | told him l had been too long
in the business to be talked to by
him in that manner"

er, where ruthlessness Of an unpar-

ter, where ruthlessness Of an unpar-
alleled type is displayed, and where
the very rudiments Of Christianity
are ignored, it would be wise, II
Christianity is to be maintained, that
it, should NOTICE preached or taught
during the continuance OF the war.
The writer, who states that ne IS
now serving at the front, says ne is
convinced that war itself is an EVIL
dence that for the time being evil is
uppermost in the world. 1t is as
though one were obliged to lay aside
ones humanity and to relinquish all
that distinguishes Christian man.
1t is mockery to ask men with blood
stained hearts to approach the table
of the Lord.
The fighting in the trenches, con-
tinues the article, is Of such a char
acter that every feeling of religion
and every inclination to prayer
ceases. 1t is not Christian teaching
that man wants as he comes fresh
from the frightful hell of the
trenches. War is a phenomenon
which the church should not be able
to bless. 1t is opposed to every es-
sential of Christianity, and the
sooner moratorium for Christianity
is declared the better. There should
be no more church nonsense about
the ennobling and purifying effects
of war. For hundreds of thousands
of men at the front, men who once
believd in the faith, the moratorium
is already in effect. When they re-
turn from the blood-soaked battle
front their Christianity will be of a
different order, and they will insist
upon the church adopting a different
Christianity.

THE STRIKE
SITUATION

While war is distressing other por-
tons of the globe, the United States
has, so far, been exempt from scenes
of carnage but the strike situation
in our land is causing as much anx-
iety as the diplomatic correspondence
&c now going on between this coun-
try and Germany. The labor troubles
at Bridgeport, Conn.,, have been patch
ed up, and the more optimistic prefer
to believe the trouble is over at the
Remington Arms Plant, but condi-
tions are serious at Bayonne. N. Y,
caused by the walkout of the men en-
gagged in loading oil on steamers
which are to sail for countries now at
war. Already three lives have been
lost in the rioting, and the situation
is alarming.
The dissatisfaction among the en-
ployees. at the Washington navy yar,
caused by a cut in their wages IS
growing, and, it is openly asserted
that should the government fail to
restore the wage scale to what it was
on the first instant a strike will fol-
low. Also that demands for still high
er pay may be made before the final
readjustment. 1t is also said that a
sympathetic strike on the part of
employees in other navy yards is by
no means improbable, and before the
end of the year the government may
find itself helpless so far as fitting out
the new men-of-war is concerned.
Thousands of longshoremen are al
so on strike in New York, and ship
ping may be tied up.
1t is unfortunate that the bust
ness of the world cannot be conductec
without walkouts with the trouble and
financial loss incident to the read
justment of relations between employ
ers and employees. But this seems
impossible, and strikers on small or
large scales are always in evidence
Half a million men in Chicago and
vicinity were out of work for a short
time recently. Losses to men and
manufacturers ran into the millions
during this brief cessation Of bUi.d-
ing in that city.
The wages paid in nearly every
calling of life are at present higher
than at any time in the history of the
country yet it is often suggested that
the net earnings of workingmen are
but little more than under the OLD
regime. There are many men in the
country whose wages, though mode
rate, remain unchanged. but, as they
lose no time they are generally bet
ter off at the end of the year than
others who command much more pay,
but who are compelled to lose so
much time while strike issues are, be-
ING. arbitrated. Besides this neces-
sary loss, strike funds have to be
provided, and other expenses incurred.
AS suggested above, the United
States is not engaged in war but
there is a turbulence in the country
which is to be regretted by all lovers
of law and order. 1t is producing It's
natural fruit. and there is an uncer-
tainty and want of confidence whlch
is in furious to all classes.
