BRYAN PASSES ON
TO FINAL REWARD
(Continued from page 1.)
the country and its deliverance
was to mark the opening of the na
tion-wide battle against modernism
planned by him.
Although Mr. Bryan appeared to
be in good health, he realized that
it was necessary for him to conserve
his strength. During last week he |
visited Dr. Raymond Wallace in;
Chattanooga, who informed him that |
he had a slight dilation of the heart
with arrythmia (missed beats).
Previously on July 17, Mr. Bryan
was advised by the physician to re
frain from strenuous activities. Dr.
Wallace particularly advised against
an address Mr. Bryan had planned :
for Pikeville on the following Sun- j
day. Mr. Bryan delivered the speech i
but limited it to ten minutes, telling
his friends that he had to conserve
his strength as he feared he might
not live through the Scopes trial.
Dr. Wallace said Mr. Bryan ap
peared surprised to learn that he had
heart trouble but was not troubled.
Yesterday he declined an automo
bile ride from the Chattanooga hotel
to the railroad station, saying he
preferred to walk.
When he arrived here he went
immediately to his home and from
there to the Southern Methodist
Episcopal church. He sat on the
front seat before the sermon by
Rev. E. A. Peterson, of Buena,
Tex., he was called on for a prayer.
Citizens of Dayton were still dis
cussing the prayer today, describing
it as one of the most beautiful they
had ever heard and as revealing the
earnesness and sinceriety of Bryan.
Opening with the words “Dear
Father;” and free from any trace
of bitterness or denunciation, the
prayer was the plea of a servant
that God should direct all his ways
and protect his home and sought aid
in the campaign. Mr. Bryan was
making for the “old time religion.”
After church services, Mr. Bryan
returned to his home, where with
Mrs. Bryan and Mr. and Mrs. Rog
ers, he had dinner. He ate a large
amount of food and was in one of
his most jovial moods since arriv
ing here. Before he decided to
take a nap he called Chttanooga over
long distance telephone to ask
about some details of his speech
bout some details of his speach
which was being published.
Mr. Bryan told his wife that he
never felt better in his life and
was ready to fight for fundamental
ism before the country. He then re
marked: “I am sleepy.” and en
tered his room shortly after 3
o’clock.
Mrs. Bryan was on the back porch
of the home and could see her hus
band on the bed. About 4:30 Mrs.
Bryan felt that her husband had
been asleep long enough and sent
McCartney, who also was Mr. Bryan’s
personal attendant, to wake him.
“He was always a heavy sleeper
and was hard to wake,” McCartney
said, adding that after he had shaken
Mr. Bryan twice he notice that he
was not breathing. Mr. Andrews re
marked on the courage Mrs. Bryan
exhibited. She told friends that
while she was glad her husband had
passed away peacefully and without
pain she regretted to have him die
at a time when he planned such a
great work.
Looking Ahead
She referred to the campaign he
was to make for fundamentalism, his
trip to the Holy Land within the
next few months, and the writing
he had planned. Mr. Bryan had be
gun a history of his life and fre
quently during the last several
months had expressed a desire to
complete it.
“It seems like every time I plan
to work on the biography.” Mr.
Bryan told a newspaper reporter a

While Mr. Bryan had prepared his
address in the Scopes trial, he ex
pressed pleasure oyer the fact that
he would have an opportunity to
present it to the public without in
terruption.
During the closing hours of the
trial he was called to the witness
stand by the defense and the result
was a bitter clash between him and
Clarance Dorrow, noted Chicago at
torney and one of Scopes’ counsel.

stated. “It is to keep these gentle-
