ADDRESS PREPARED BY
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
(Continued from Page Six)
“ ‘Can any Christian remain indif
erent? Science needs religion to di¬
rect energies and to inspire with lofty
purpose those who employ the force's
that are unloosed by science. Evolu¬
tion is at war with religion because
religion is supernatural; it is, there¬
fore, the relentless foe of Christiani¬
ty, which is a revealed religion.’
“Let us, then hear the conclusion
4 of the whole matter. Science is a
magnificent material force, but it is
not a teacher of morals. It can per¬
fect machinery, but it adds no moral
restraints to protect society from the
misuse of the machine, It can
build gigantic intellectual ships, hut
it constructs no moral rudders for
the control of storm-tossed human
vessels. It not only fails to supply
the spiritual element needed, but
some of its unproven hypothesis rob
the ship of its compass and thus en¬
danger its cargo.
Science Evil
“In war, science has proven itself
an evil genius; it has made war more
terrible than it ever was before. Man
used to be content to slaughter his
fellow men on a single plain—the
erath’s surface. Science has taught
* him to go down into the wat.ei and
shoot up from below, and to ga up
into the clouds and shoot down from
above, thus making the battlefield
three times as blody as it was before;
but science does not teach brotherly
love. Science has made war so hellish
that civilization was about to com
mit suicide; and now we are told
that newly discovered instruments of
destruction will make the cruelties of
the late war seem trivial in compari
son with the cruelties of wars that
may come in the future. If civiliza- [
tion is to be saved from the wreckage ;
threatened by intelligence not conse
crated by love, it must be saved by
the moral code of the meek and low
ly Nazarene. His teachings, and His
teachings alone, can solve the prob
lems that vex the heart and perplex
4 the world. :
“The world needs a savior more
than it ever did before, and there is
only one ‘name under heaven given
among men whereby we must be
saved.’ It is this name that evolu
tion degrades, for, carried to its logi
eat conclusion, it robs Christ of the

'It is for the jury to
whether this attack upon the
tian religion shall be permitted in
the public schools of Tennessee by
teachers employed by the state and
paid out of the public treasury. This
case is no longer local; the defendant
ceases to play an important part. The
case has assumed the proportions °f
a battle royal between unbelief that
attempts to speak through so-called
science and the defenders of the
Christian faith, speaking through the
legislators of Tennessee. It is again
a choice between God and Baal; it is
also a renewal of the issue in Pi
late’s court. In that historic
the greatest in history—force, im
personated by Pilate, occupied the
throne. Behind it was the Roman
ernment, mistress of the world, and
behind the Roman government were
the legions of Rome. Before Pilate
stood Christ, the apostle of love,
Force triumphed; they nailed Him'to
tfie tree and those who stood around
mocked and jeered and said lie is
dead.' But from that day the power
of Caesar waned and the power of
Christ increased. In a few centuries
the Roman government was gone and
its legions forgotten; while the cru
cified and risen Lord has become the
greatest fact in history and the
ing figure of all time.
Force Meets Love.
Again force and love meet face to

not be the answer of this jury rep

THE END
Coldest Winter of
Record Predicted
Coming from Paris, the prediction
of Father Gabriel that this winter
will be the coldest of record, no
doubt will cause the people in the
north to migrate south. In their
coming, this state should be the

astronomer priest, the Philadelphia

1 “First frost and winter predictions
are now due and early reports are
straggling in. But a new kind of pre
I diction comes from Paris. The astron
omer priest, Father Gabriel, says we
are in for a very hard winter, which
the old-timer will have to go back
186 and 372 years to match. This
prediction is made with so much elab
j oration and scholarly support that
Prof. Guallaume Bigourdian, director
the Paris Observatory, has taken
it before the Academy of Sciences for
reading and discussion.
“Father Gabriel has been studying
the lunar solar cycle, which is a pe

“The researches which have
brought this conclusion are not the

and the like. They were prosecuted
among the historians and poets, and
astronomers are said to have been
aware of such a recurrence of cold
spells at long intervals without hav
ing taken the trouble to find out.
“So, there seems to be nothing to
do but hope for the best and quietly
prepare for the worst—in other
words, start early and look up the
overcoat and coal bin situation.”

of the astronomer priest will fail to
