ing delivered his first speech since his
resignation as Secretary of State. He

other speech in New York at a peace
demonstration in Madison Square Gar
den. .....
When told of reports that the meet
ing in New York city at which he spoke
had been arranged by German sympa-
thizers instead of organized labor as
represented, Mr.. Bryan refused TO make
any comment for publication.
1t is known. however that Mr.. Bry-
ans invitation to speak came from
Representative Frank Buchanan of IL
Dor leader. He called at the Bryan
house in Calumet place last Friday and
asked Mr. Bryan to go to New York
city for the meeting.
Hopes to Arrange Program.
Mr. Bryan said that while in Asheville
he hopes to arrange a program for the
future He said he already has pro-
gram mapped out in a general way, but
preferred not to make any mention of
it until it is definite 1t is possible that
he will go to San Francisco for July 4.

MR.BRyAN'S RESIGNATION
IS SLAUDED BY PASTOR
Rev. L. C. Clark. in Sermon. Pays
Tribute to Former Secre-
tary of State.

With The Force That Never Fails"
as his theme and Love Never Fails"
as his text. Rev. Lucius c. Clark, pas
tor of the Hamline Methodist Episcopal
Church. in his sermon last night took
occasion to pay a tribute to William
Jennings Bryan. He said. in part:
In this day of national stress is it
possible to take any satisfaction in the
text Love Never Fails"
We ordinary folk see three remedies
as a possible settlement of all ques-
tions of individuals and nations
The first is when the parties by
agreement settle their own real or fan
cied wrongs.
The cecond is that of arbitration.
which permits time for consideration
and a full discussion of the merits of
the case.
The third is to fight ii out. 1t deals
in ultimatums 1t means war The
last-named remedy is being now tried
by eleven European countries. What
the ultimate results will he no one at
the present time is able to say.
This country, through its Secretary
of State. has recently brought about
thirty treaties with foreign nations
looking to the settlement of disputes
among them, Every treaty, as I un-
derstand. provides that the questions
arising shall be arbitrated. The ma
tons concerned are not to declare war
within one year of the time the pro-
ceedings begin. The country, the Pres
ident of the United States and the Sec
retary of State were definitely COM
mlfted to this proposed program
Seem to Forget Treaties.
When the first opportunity arises
looking to the settlement of a difficulty
between our nation and another We
seem to have forgotten the principles
involved in our treaty making.
In view of this situation one of our
chief citizens has had courage enough
to express his idealism in terms of
The Force That Never Fails. 1t may
suggest the self-effacement OF the one
VINO dare express his conviction in
word and act. but it will nevertheless IS
remain fine example never to be for
gotten by American manhood
After declaring new loyalty to the
Prlnce of Peace and recognition of
the unalterable truth of Jehovah that
they that take the sword shall perish
with the sword MIR. B-yan resigns
from the position that to retain would
nullify the great work of treaty ma.
ing he has done.
MS memorable words VIII 1--we after
the significance of his act has passed.
His words are not in justification of mis-
act, but they show the motive back ot
the act.
Some action must lead the world out
of the black of night of war into the
light of that day when swords shall be
beaten into plowshares.' Why not
MAKE that honor ours? Some day-why
not now?-the nations will learn that
enduring peace cannot be built upon
fear-that good will does not grow
upon the stalk of violence"
