SPIRIT OF BRYAN ASSERTS ITSELF IN DEFENSE OF GOD’S WORD

Undelivered Argument in p Scopes Case Champions Biblical Teaching. By United Press DAYTON, Term., July 28. —The spirit of William Jennings Bryan spoke today,—as if to take up the battle in the midst of which the flesh had died. It assaulted the fortress of evolution and defended the “old religion” proclaiming a simple faith in the Bible as the inspired Word and the Christian belief as a revealed religion. It likened the Tennessee evolution trial to the trial of Christ before Pilate and proclaims: “Again force and love are face to face and the question of ‘What Shall I Do With Jesus’, must be answered. A bloody, brutal doctrine, evolution, demands, as the rable did 1900 years, ago, that fie be crucified.” In Undelivered Speech The spirit of the leader spoke through the text of the speech which Bryan had prepared as the closing argument in the prosecution of John T. Scopes for violating the Tennessee evolution law. The speech was delivered at the trial and before it could be published, Bryan died. It was made available to the United Press today—and found to stand as a remarkable document of more than 10,000 words, running the gamut from the almost sublime to bitterest condemnation of the "damVble philosophy which ist he flower at blooms on the stalk of evolu > tion.’’ It ridicules and denounces Clarence Darrow’s defense' of Loeb and Leopold and cites their case as the teaching of evolution leads to. It calls Charles Darwin the father of the theory of evolution as a witness and quotes from his writings to show that he started life firm in an orthodox faith in a “personal God,” and his studies led him into agnsticlsm. Prophetic of Death One can easily picture the fire of Bryan’s sarcasm—now stilled forever—as the speech reads: “There is no more reason to believe that the man descended from some inferior animal than there is to believe that a stately mansion has descended from a small cottage.” , In the next paragraph it passes to a vein almost prophetic of his own approaching death as it says: “There is a spiritual gravitation that draws all souls toward Heaven just as surely as there is a physical force that draws all matter on the surface of the earth towards the earth’s center. Christ is our drawing power. He said I, if I be lifted up from this earth, will draw all men unto Me’, and His promise is being fulfilled daily all over the world.” The flame of sarcasm again burns the speech attacks and ridicules I diagram purporting to show the tree” of the human race. “Masses Praise God” “It might require some -very nice calculation,” the speech read, “to determine at what degree of relationship the killing of a relative ceases to be murder and the eating of one’s kin ceases to be cannibalism.” “Evolutionists do not feel it is incumbent upon them to show how life began,” he said. “God may be a matter of indifference to the evolutionists and a life beyond have no charm for them, but the mass of mankind will continue to worship their Creator and to find comfort in the promise of their Savior that

Where Body Lies in State

This comfortable frame house in Dayton, Tenn., saw the passing of William Jennings Bryan. It was here that he and Mrs. Bryan stayed during the Scopes trial and it was here that he died peacefully during a nap. He lies in state on this lawn today.

He has gone to prepare a place for them. “Christ has made of death a narrow, starlit strip between the companionship of yesterday and the reunion of tomorrow; evolution strikes out the stars and deepens the gloom that enshrouds the tomb.” Five Attacks Made Five indictments are brought against evolution. 1. That it disputes the Biblle’s account of man's creation and shakes faith in the Bible as the word of God. 2. That “evolution ‘disputes every vital truth in the Bible’ and ‘its natural if no- inevitable’ tendency ‘is to lead those who really accept it, first to agnosticism and then to atheism.’ ” In support of this indictment it cites the Loeb-Leopold case, in which Clarence Darrow was the attorney for the accused murderers of Bobby Franks. It quotes from Darrow’s speech wherein Darrow argued that Leopold was the victim of the philosophy of Nietzsche, made available to him when he was yet too young to guard against its dangerous teachings of the “super-man” who is above the law. Grows More Bitter He became more bitter when he took up the defense of Loeb —that Loeb was the victim of some hereditary taint handed down “by some remote ancestor.” “This is the quintessence of evolution distilled for us by one who follows that doctrine to its logical conclusion,” the speech reads. “An alyze this dogma of darkness and death. Eovlutionists say that back in the twilight of life a beast, name and nature unknown, planted a murderous seed and that the impulse that originated in that seed throbs forever in the Food of the brute’s descendant, insp'ring killings innumerable for whir) the murderers are not responsible because coerced by a fate fixed by the laws of heredity. It is an insult to reason and shocks the heart. That doctrine is as deadly as leprosy.” 3. Evolution "diverts the attention from pressing problems of great importance to trifling speculation. While one evolutionist is trying to Imagine what happened in the past, another is trying to pry open the door of the distant future. One recently grew eloquent over ancient worms and another predicted that

I had read and heard so much about Todd’s Tonic that I decided to give it a trial and I can truthfully say that after taking one does I began to feel betteqj. I came today to bring Mr. White, the Todd's Tonic representative, another customer for Todd’s Tonic, because it has given me so much benefit. I can honestly say that it is the greatest stomach remedy on earth. All my troubles are now a thing of the past and I have gained five pounds in weight.”—H. B. KENNER, 2318 Nicholson St., S. E.. Washington, D. C.

seventy-five thousand years hence every one will be bald and toothless. But those who endeavor to clothe our remote ancestors with hair and those whose endeavor is to remove the hair from the heads of our remote descendants ignore the present with its imperative demands. Ignores Spiritual Life “The science of ‘how to live' is the most important of all sciences. Christians desire that their children shall be taught all the sciences, but they do not want them to lose sight of the Rock of Ages while they study the age of rocks.’’ 4 Evolution, “by paralyzing the hope of reform, discourages those who labor for the improvement of man’s condition. Evolution chills that enthusiasm by substituting aeons for years. It obscures all beginnings in the midst of endless ages. Evolution, disputing the miracle and ignoring the spiritual life, has no place for the regeneration of the individual. “It is because Christians believe in individual regeneration and the regeneration of society through the regeneration of individuals that they pray ‘thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.’ Evolution makes a mockery of the Lord’s prayer. To interpret the words to mean that the improvement desired must come slowly through unfolding ages, a process with which each generation could have time to do, is to defer hope and hope deferrred maketh the heart sick.” 5 Evolution, “if taken seriously and made the basis of a philsophy of life, would eliminate love and carry man back to a struggle of tooth and claw.” Quotes Darwin In support of this it quotes Darwin’s discussions of the “survival of the fittest” among animals and declares that such a struggle as there described—whereby the weak are eliminated by the power of the strong—would be the result of “the barbarious sentiment that runs through evolution. “All the sympathies of civilized society are condemned because they enable the weak members to propagate their kind,” reads the attack upon Darwin’s statements. “Then he drags mankind down to the level of the brute and compares the freedom given to man unfavorably with the restraint that we put on barnyard beasts.” Then the speech concludes with a likening of the Scopes case to the trial of Christ before Pilate. “It is again the choice between God and Baal,” read the manuscript. Christ Apostle of Love “It is a renewal of the issue in Pilate’s court. In that historic trial, the greatest in history, force, impersonated by Pilate, occupied the throne. Behind it was the Roman government, mistress of the world, and behind the Roman government were the legions of Ttome. “Before Pilate stood Christ, the apostle of love. “Force triumphed; they nai'od him to the tree and thosd who stood around mocked and jeered and said ‘he 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 crucified and risen Lord became the greatest fact in history. Force vs. Love “Again force and love meet face to face and the question ‘What Shall I Do With Jesus?’ must be answered. A bloody, brutal doctrine —evolution—demands, as the rabble did 1,900 years ago, that he be crucified. “That can not be the answer of this jury representing a Christian State and sworn to uphold the laws of Tennessee. Your answer will be heard throughout the world; it ! s eagerly awaited by a praying multitude. If the law is nullified, there will be rejoicing wherever God is repudiated, the Saviour scoffed, and the Bible ridiculed. Every unbeliever of every kind and degree will be happy. “If, on the other hand, the law is upheld and the religion of the school children protected, millions of Christians will call you blessed.”
