Mr. BRYAN IN ENGLAND.

SPEECHES ON RELIGION. Mr. Bryan am] Mr.- Roosevelt, who are botli in England, are keeping Uμ their old rivalry ,n a'new form, l'hey are both apparently engaged in seeing who can (ill the greater amount of space in the columns of the English newspapers.. Mr. Koosovelt had a good lead, but Jlr. Br.van has the advantage of a much happier sense of humour. "Success" is a favourite subject of his, as well as of Mr. Hoosovelt's. Speaking at the j Bristol Y.M.C.A., Mr. Bryan laid stress ! on the infinite importance of schools, colleges, and churches, which turned out manhood and womanhood, as compared with factories dealing in material things. Men recognised now that if a man left nothing but money his life had been a failure. Mr. Bryan wont on to an Adult School meeting; nhc-ro ]io vigorously defended missionaries against the charge that they made trouble for diplomats. The man who went abroad for the. love of God was not half so apt to got a nation into trouble as those who went abroad to make money. Incidentally Mr. Bryan talked about inter-denominatioiialism. Ho never asked a man to which Church ho belonged. Ho himself was "a delegate at large." "I am an elder'in the Presbyterian Church," ho said. "My father was a Baptist, and when I was born my mother was a Methodist, but she- afterwards turned Baptist. When I was married my wife was a Methodist, but she joined the Presbyterian Church with me. My two youngest children are Mefhodists, and my eldest daughter is an Episcopalian." In a third speech Mr. Bryan" spoke strongly in favour of international arbitration.
