There is no state in the Union, ac-
cording to its wealth and population,
that is doing more to help the farmer
along scientific lines than the state

cultural College, department of the

There is also question in our mind about the utnes

MR.. BRYAN RESIGNS AS SECRETARY OF STATE

The resignation of Mr.. William jennings Bryan as
secretary of State will be in immense relief the people
of this country and to the administration of President
Wilson. Mr., Bryan rendered his resignation Tuesday
and it promptly accepted He gave his the
fact that he out of harmony with the President the
controversy with Germany He rather strongly ntmated
that the latest the German government
and he peace any price patriot he could

In rendering his resignation Mr. Bryan shows evidence
of patriotism for the first time in many years The
and the particular time of resgnng is entirely
different matter His statements subject the grav-
est criticism for the simple that they prematurey

government As secretary of state Mr.. Bryan became
acquainted with the Of diplomatic communication
He has publicly stated that this note will lead war
and thus already prejudiced the German government
against this country and its position in the premises
looks if Bryan took advantage of his position to place
President Wilson in bad light in the eyes of the world
If he has done this he will gain nothing and President
Wilson will lose nothing. President Wilson will find his

so it was. Alexander the Great seems

battle of Arbela, which subdued Asia,

B. c. He crossed the Tigris river to

days to find Darius, and on that march
he with his army passed many great
mounds, or 'graSS-covered hills, and
not one OF the Greeks, scholars though
many of them were, for moment

ruins of ancient Nineveh. And they
remained buried and hidden for two
thousand years more till the English
man Layard dug into those mounds

Memorial Day gatherings in the
Methodist church and the present
week union services connected with
the College anniversary have led to
some thinking and speaking about a
certain and very important subject;

the four leading churches of our
city. | have considerable acquaintance

uphold their own views, who can and
do so often meet in union services;
and for the life of me | cannot see that
any one of them is tossing anything
by it, and it does us all good to be
drawn so close to our fellows of the
other congregations. The drift all
through our country among Christian
people is to draw closer together. and
while respecting each ones views in
rites and ceremonies. the non-essen-
tails of our faith, to recognize those
we hold in common and emphasize
them together; and | am sure the

to draw still closer together: the

the Methodist church graciously loan

largest auditorium and fine organ, and
the Methodist congregation and pas
tor were, so to speak, guests at a
union service in their own meeting
house, is something to be told OF
abroad; and also that the Methodist
people have freely offered their fine
church for such purposes for some
years, and the Disciple church did it
before that when their house had the
largest auditorium. From Mhat I
know of these facts in our city | feel
quite sure that all that is needed in
many cases is an opportunity and a
suggestion and more such cases would
result. When it became the custom
in our citv for union services on Mem
orial Sunday it was found that some
of the church auditoriums were not
reomy enough for the united congre-
cations of that day 1t was suggest

building, were to conduct the service
the suggestion met with an immediate
favorable response. and the gracious
offer was repeated each year till the
larger Methodist church was opened,
since when that has been similarly
offered and used. And because such
spirit exists it is not strange that

The union service last Sunday night
when the Methodist pastor presided
in the Baptist church when its pastor
was to give the address to the Y. M.
c. A. and Y. w. c. A, of the College
was another time of such unique oc-
casions. And the address was wholly
worthy of the time and circumstances
What Pastor VerneY said about the
death and obliteration of great en-
pires in the past was very impressive
and historically true. Since the great
war begun | have been wondering if
it were possible for the present great
nations of the world to so reduce each
other, that the advanced civilization
should languish and be buried and
large portions of the world become
'desolate and without inhabitant" for
centuries. Pastor Varney called the
roll of some of the great world powers
of remote past. He began with
Nineveh, whose records reach so far,
far back into the dim past. 1t was a
great world power" for about a thou
sand years; for centuries the tide of
supremacy surged back and forth
through that great and fertile Mesopo-
tamian valley, mostly between what
we roughly call the Babbylonians of
the south and the Ninevites of the
north and east, the latter generally
coming out on top and then they
would take terrible vengence, till they
come to be the best hated of all cen
trail Asian powers; and at last still
more northern races arose to power,
Land finally oVercame the enervated
Ninevites; and from their ruins we
now read the record of their debased
heathenism and awful cruelties against
those who resisted their arms; and
the ruins furnish mute evidence that at
last their conquerors took terrible ven
gence on the queenly city of a thou
sand years; as | read their own re-
cords of their just awful treatment of
those they termed rebels, but who
really were striving for liberty. and
