DELEGATES SHOW LOSS OF SLEEP MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, July 9. — John W. Davis of West Virginia jumped into the lead in the contest for the Democratic presidential nomination today on the first ballot taken following the retirement of Smith and McAdoo, the West Virginia polling more than 300 votes on the initial ballot—the 101st of the convention—and was followed in second place by Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, who inherited some of the Smith support because of the strong stand the Alabaman took against the plan. New York threw Underwood all but a few of her block of 90 votes on the first ballot. The McAdoo states went heavily to Davis, a few for E. T. Meredith of Iowa and a few to Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana. The Brennan-Smith forces decided to get behind Underwood and "give him a ride" in return for his help in the klan fight. The first ballot today was in the nature of a test or trial heat and Davis stood out head and shoulders above the field despite the eastern backing of Underwood. Maryland dropped her favorite son, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie, and threw her 16 votes to the West Virginian. The decision to give Underwood "a ride" was reached at a conference of the Smith managers just as the balloting was getting under way. Governor Smith served notice at this conference that under no circumstances would he accept the vice-presidency. Speaking to newspaper correspondents, Smith said that he was finally and definitely out "so long as Mr. McAdoo is out." "We have just laid away our heavy artillery," said the governor. "If the convention construes Mr. McAdoo's letter as meaning that he too is definitely out, then according to my agreement I am out too. If the convention starts Governor Smith served notice at this conference that under no circumstances would he accept the vice-presidency. Speaking to newspaper correspondents, Smith said that he was finally and definitely out "so long as Mr. McAdoo is out." "We have just laid away our heavy artillery," said the governor. "If the convention construes Mr. McAdoo's letter as meaning that he too is definitely out, then according to my agreement I am out too. If the convention starts to boost McAdoo, then I'm in again." The first ballot this morning displayed beyond all question that McAdoo's followers have taken his letter as meaning that he is out. His rock-ribbed states of Georgia, Tennessee and Texas left his standard and went in various directions. The Smith followers were a bit slower in "getting off" the New York governor, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania still voted heavily for Smith while waiting to see where else to go. New York gave these allies the tip by throwing 86 1-2 votes to Underwood on the initial ballot. The Davis strength was widely scattered, geographically. He drew heavily in the southern and mid-western states. The widespread nature of his strength was best evidenced by the fact that 31 states and territories contributed to run his vote over the 300 mark. Senator Walsh polled almost 100 votes, but whether these could be attributed to a sincere desire to nominate him or merely were in recognition of the able manner in which he handled the gavel during this trying convention was difficult to determine. The entrenched hosts of democracy, those that are left, took a fresh start here today and began all over again their task of nominating a candidate for the presidency. Heavy-eyed from lack of sleep and sticky from the torrid heat of a sweltering July day, the delegate assembled in Madison Square Garden at noon uncertain where they were going but exceedingly hopeful of going somewhere and that speedily. Most of them believed the end of the long hot road was in sight but there was no unanimity of opinion as to the terminus of the rocky path. The delegates were unusually slow in assembling. Many state delegations held meetings and caucuses before coming to the Garden. Missourians said they were going to John W. Davis of West Virginia. Georgia appeared in danger of splitting into factions. Wm. G. McAdoo's "old guard" of Texas said they were going to either Davis or E. T. Meredith of Iowa, one of the assigned beneficiaries of the McAdoo estate. Iowa, in Louisiana—20, J. W. Davis. Maine—6, Davis; 1, McAdoo; 6, Underwood. Maryland—16, John W. Davis.

Meredith of Iowa, one of the assigned beneficiaries of the McAdoo estate. Iowans, including Meredith himself, were active on the floor in behalf of the former secretary of agriculture. Wm. J. Bryan's candidate, Dr. A. A. Murphree of Florida was an added starter in today's heat. "It was 12:35 when Senator Walsh, the permanent chairman, requested the delegates into their hard, hot seats." Invocation was pronounced by the Rev. Wm. Wilkinson of Episcopal Trinity church, "the bishop of Wall Street." Walsh ordered the roll call for the 101st ballot immediately. Mrs. Alexander Thompson, an Oregon delegate, interrupted the roll call to ask Walsh whether the statement of an individual candidate "was superior" to the instructions of a state convention. Walsh told her that will be a question between her and her constituents. 101ST BALLOT Alabama—24, Underwood. Arizona—3, McAdoo; 3, Underwood.

THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. "John W. Davis Personified in Pictures CHRISTIANITY NOT REACTING "The Story of Liberty Bible." Text: John S. White Temple Sunday Rev. James Allen D. D.: This is an exceeding fine text. These indomitable say: We have never been able to any man. And we are all but drowned in trampling of Roman law in the Holy City. The truth were always in bondage, always refusing to be this is the human situation as their situation. We find man we find him and yet always we dreaming of freedom, trying to be bound.

History steady emancipation escapes drudgeries by tensions and increasingly loads on steel and may suffer bondageance and superstition he marches towards He learns the truth and makes him free. He is a way out. He be some Moses or Lincoln and give him the lead to achieve liberty and right. Many forces have no emancipation of the race among these, I think, be placed the Bible.

Rousseau opposed as altogether unworldly ferent to the present his day the church we leave the world." DAVIS ONE OF MOST BRILLIANT OF MEN John W. Davis, Democrat, is characterized by his friends—and among them are hosts of men and women of opposing political faiths—as one of the most brilliant men in public life. They point to his legal achievements, his oratorical ability and his intellectual attainments. Yet until some 14 years ago, John W. Davis was a country lawyer in Clarksburg, W. Va., and was little-known outside the confines of his native state. From then on his rise was rapid. Congreseman, Solicitor General to the Department of Justice, Ambassador to England, president of the American Bar Ass'n were among his successive steps up the ladder of public life. Re-elected to Congress in 1912, Davis had scarcely been seated when President Wilson appointed him Solicitor-General t othe Department of Justice. His associates declared Davis made the best record of all the men who have appeared in the supreme court for the department. A tall, slender man with a shock of almost snow-white hair, a slow and gentle smile, and the general air of a student listened gravely while two assistants to the U. S. Attorney General outlined their views on a legal point which was the crux of a case pending in the supreme court. Finally, they paused. The Solicitor General of the United States smiled, then rendered his decision. "That sounds mighty fine, gentlemen; now, if one of you will loan me a pipehead of tobacco, both your lengthy arguments will be forgiven." Returning to Clarksville he formed a law partnership with his father and practiced until 1899, when he was elected to the State Legislature on the Democratic ticket. He represented West Virginia as a delegate to the National Democratic conventions in 1904 and 1908. President Wilson in the Summer of 1918 selected Mr. Davis to represent the United States on a commission to negotiate with Germany the treatment and exchange of war prisoners. When the armistice was signed the commission was sitting at Berne, Switzerland. About to return to America, announcement of the resignation of Walter Hines Page as Ambassador to the Court of St. James's was made, and President Wilson cabled him a proffer of the post, which he accepted. Mr. Davis is a former president of the American Bar Ass'n, a member of college fraternities, the Masons, Elks and Woodnau His first wife was Julia T. McDonald, who died in 1900, leaving one daughter, Julia McDonald Davis. In 1912 he married Miss Ellen G. Bassel, and to this union one daughter, Ruth, was born. SCHENCK FUNERAL SATURDAY Florence E. Schenck, 52, wife of Edward G. Schenck, died this morning at the family residence 119 Yale-ave, after a short illness. Decendent had lived there eight years, and is survived by her husband, one son and two daughters. Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday from McAuley parlor, Rev C. R. Montague officiating; WIDE OPEN FIELD FACES DELEGATES NEW YORK, July 9.—A wide open field again and a score of candidates to choose from. This was the Democratic national convention today after 100 futile ballots in an effort to nominate a candidate for the presidency, extending over eight days filled with bitterness. The personal feud between Wm. G. McAdoo and Gov. Alfred E. Smith ended in a draw—or rather a double knockout. They balloted each other into a state of helplessness, neither able to attain a majority of the 1098 delegates assembled and in the end both had to bow to the inevitable and efface themselves from the bloodiest Democratic picture of a generation. The convention adjourned at 4 a.m. until noon after one ballot had been taken following McAdoo's withdrawal. In going, McAdoo and Smith left behind them a field of aspirants out of which the weary delegates will endeavor today to select a standard bearer. John W. Davis of West Virginia, Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, Senator Joe T. Robinson of Arkansas, Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, and Edward T. Meredith of Iowa—these, in the order named, were believed today to have the best chances of gaining what Smith and McAdoo kept each other from getting. Hard drives were in progress for each of these morning. Davis apparently has more natural strength than any of them—he led them by a wide margin on the only ballot taken this morning, following the retirement of McAdoo and Smith and the self-effacement of Ralston of Indiana. But there are many who believe that the nomination of Senator Walsh, a Catholic, and the man among these I think be placed the Bible. He know many will lense this statement emancipating power on. But it is true that it has been on the side of life tells the story of marrials. Rousseau opposed as altogether unworldly ferent to the present his day the church women to leave the world lives of asceticism. He never does that nor Christianity. Voltaire opposed Ché being on the side of the order. The churchally been conservative titania itself is never nary sense.

Finally, they paused. The Socitor General of the United States smiled, then rendered his decision. "That sounds mighty fine, gendemen; now, if one of you will me a pipeload of tobacco, both your lengthy arguments will be forgiven." Celebrated cases he won were what was known as "The Pipe Line Case," a decision which compelled oil companies to post their schedules and to adhere to them with respect to all well owners, the income tax law of 1913, the ship subsidy law, the Selectric Draft act of 1917, and many others. His first laureus in Congress were won as prosecutor of Judge Archbold, of Pennsylvania, who was impeached in the senate. He framed the principal provilation in the Webb Kenyon Act to prohibit shipments of liquor in interstate commerce to dry territory. When he was 33 he was elected president of the West Virginia Bar Ass'n. His mother was a native of Baltimore, and she has told how, when she undertook his education, he used to roll on the floor at night, reciting his lessons as he rolled. He was born in Clarksburg April 13, 1872, where his father was eminent as a churchman and lawyer. Noted for his studiousness and smashfulness, he devoted most of his time to books. Members of his family credit him with saying he would rather walk three blocks out of his way than meet a girl equaintance. He was graduated from the Washington and Lee University in 1892 with the degree of bachelor of arts. In 1905 the institution conferred the degree of bachelor of law upon him. He then returned to Clarksburg and was admitted to the bar. The following year Washington and Lee alled him back to serve as an assistant professor of law, a positon he filled for one year. From a carpet weaver in a Roxbury, Mass., factory, Mrs. Sara Conboy has risen to be a director of the Federation bank of New York. SCHENCK FUNERAL SATURDAY Florence E. Schenck, 52, wife of Edward G. Schenck, died this morning at the family residence 119 Yale-ave, after a short illness. Decendent had lived there eight years, and is survived by her husband, one son and two daughters. Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday from McAulay parlors, Rev. C. R. Montague officiating: interment in Loma Vista. WOMAN FACTORY WORKER BECOMES BANK DIRECTOR COX SARCASTIC AS HE FIXES FINES It was a fine large Wednesday in the "speeders courl" at Santa Ann. Justice J. B. Cox played to a full house and the "receipts" were large. Nearly every customer left between $25 and $35 as a souvenir of an alleged violation of the motor vehicle act on the highways between July 4 and Sunday night. Speeding at 45 miles an hour on the packed Newport Beach Highway cutting in, obscured Illinois plates by the application of patented bumpers, failing to give signals, failing to have operator's licenses, etc., were included. In each instance the justice accompanied the levy with a scathing denunciation of "sheeks, cake-eaters, asphalt arabs, call them what you will. Regardless of the others they cut in on crowded highways, give no signals as dangerous crossings, speed by five or six cars at a time and suddenly cut in when a car grazes them from the other direction. "We look like Valentino himself on Sundays and come in here in overalls. Such striplings as these should never be allowed to drive a car." In the morning session there was only one man over 40 who appeared. He demanded a jury trial and his request was granted. Hard drives were in progress for each of these morning. Davis apparently has more natural strength than any of them—he led them by a wide margin on the only ballot taken this morning, following the retirement of McAdoo and Smith and the self-effacement of Ralston of Indiana. But there are many who meet that nomination of Senator Walsh, a Catholic, and the man who epitomizes one of the great issues which the Democrats will go to the country on in this campaign, the oil investigation, will do much to heal the wounds of religious discord caused by the vicious fight between klan and anti-klan elements here.

Text: John 8:33, at the White Temple Sunday morning, Rev. James Allen Geissinger, D.D. This is an exceedingly interesting text. These indomitable Jews say: We have never been in bondage to any man. And their voices are all but drowned out by the trampling of Roman legions through the Holy City. The truth is, they were always in bondage and yet always refusing to be bound. And this is the human situation as well as their situation. Wherever we find man we find him in bondage and yet always we find him dreaming of freedom; and refusing to be bound. The modern man enjoys many liberties unknown to primitive man and he also has a self-reliance to which primitive man was a stranger. History has been a steady emancipation of man. He escapes drudgeries by his inventions and increasingly lays his fonds on steel and steam. He may suffer bondage from ignorance and superstition but steadily he marches towards deliverance. He learns the truth and the truth makes him free. He is sure there is a way out. He believes that some Moses or Lincoln shall arise and give him the leading he needs to achieve liberty and he is largely right. Many forces have made for the emancipation of the race, but high among these, I think, chief, must be placed the Bible. And I know of no interesting approach to the Bible than to search in its pages the story of liberty. I know many will want to challenge this statement about the emancipating power of the Bible. But it is true that it has always been on the side of liberty and it tells the story of man's many rebellions. Rousseau opposed Christianity as altogether unworldly and indifferent to the present life. And in his day the church was calling to leave the world and live DEMOS. NOMINATE J. W. DAVIS OF W.VA. (Continuer from Page One) noise, yells and applause, chairman Walsh put the question. It was answered by a thunderous "aye" that made the bunting hung around the Garden quiver. The parade of state stan-tards followed almost immediately. West Virginia led off—J. W. Davis' home folks. They had voted blithely and confidently for Davis from the start, altho McAdoo had succeeded in raiding them for a delegate at critical times at the height of one of his drives. Louisiana followed. They, too, had been sticking to Davis since way back yonder when this convention started. Around and around the garden the paraders marched. As they passed the speaker's platform where Senator Walsh stood smiling down on them, many shouted. "and now for you for vice president." The nomination of Davis after the deadlock which continued eight hot and bitter days was greeted with a yell that must have penetrated to the Bronx or the old Battery, where John W. Davis has his office. McAdoo men and Smith men almost at sword's points and fist-cuffs for almost two weeks, got under the Davis banner and forgot it—at least temporarily. Everybody was happy for the first time in three weeks, or nearly everybody at least. Wm. Jennings Bryan wasn't particularly happy, but said he would "support the ticket of course." Mr. Davis had not been on his "white list" of candidates which he presented to the convention last week in an impassioned speech. In his articles, Bryan has been calling Mr. Davis "J. P. Morgan's lawyer." In the few ballots that preceded Davis' selection the Commoner had been busy on the floor trying to stem the tide. He might as well have tied to ston Niagara. TAKE EXCEPTION TO RESOLUTION The resolution passed hurriedly by the Kiwanis club yesterday on motion of Dave Jessourn, condemning Mobilization Day, Sept. 12, as a "war gesture" will be the subject of warm action by Anaheim Post of the American Legion next Tuesday evening and by the County Council of the Legion this month, leading Legionnaires declared today. The Legion members aren't condemning Kiwanis especially, because they believe most of the Kiwanians didn't understand what Mobilization Day signifies, and the resolution was passed without any remarks from any one besides Jesurun. The club was in a hurry to hear Congressman Phil D. Swing, and other business of the day was subordinated. It is the war department itself that is arranging for the observance next fall, and the object of the day is to get out late line where the general public can see them, all men of military experience, training or affiliation in the country. Orange-co is the seat of the 364th regiment of the 91st division and all or practically all of the regimental officers are residents of the county. The former state militia and the officers reserve corps also are strongly represented in Orange-co, which contains 100 reserve officers from second lieutenant up. M. W. Martenet, Jr., commander of Anahelm Past of the Legion, declared that the regular army comprised only 50,000 men present, while the second line of the defence, the national guard, consisted of volunteer amateurs who were now doing the work formerly done by the regulars. Legionnaires are as strong for peace as anybody, but the wave of pacifism and communism sweeping the country should be combated, Martenet added. Most of the Spanish War veterans belong to the officers' reserve corps—in Orange-co at least. among these, I think, chief, must be placed the Bible. And I know of no interesting approach to the Bible than to search in its pages the story of liberty. I know many will want to challenge this statement about the emancipating power of the Bible. But it is true that it has always been on the side of liberty and it tells the story of man's many rebellions. Rousseau opposed Christianity as altogether unworldly and indifferent to the present life. And in his day the church was calling men to leave the world and live lives of asceticism. But the Bible never does that nor does true Christianity. Voltaire opposed Christianity as being on the side of the established order. The church has generally been conservative but Christianity itself is never in the ordinary sense. It is not the established order for which the Bible stands but for the order that ought to be, the world to come. Not the world to come after death but the world that ought to come here and now. The Chambers of Commerce, Governor Sweet tells us, have one message: "Don't rock the boat, boys." Christianity says: "Launch out into the deep." A. D. White, formerly minister to Germany and later to Russia and first president of Cornell, tells in two massive volumes the sad struggle of the conflict of theology as such and science as such. It has always been between knowledge and ignorance. The scientists, as well as the priests, were against both Columbus and Galileo. And the Bible has always been the court of appeal of the forward looking men and women and the arsenal of percepts with which the Davids are to go forth to slay their giants. Wendall Phillips abused the church but fed upon the Book and it was the faith in the soundness of the moral order born of generations of Bible teaching that sustained all the high spirits in that hard warfare against chattel slavery. The Bible is the great aid of liberty lovers because it is the story of liberty. The history of it begins with the praying of slaves in the brick fields to be freed. What a story is that of the Exodus when Moses came thundering in the name of God: "Let my people go." Then there is the story running on from age to age as the Israelites struggle against the bondage of Canaan, Assyria, Babylon, Greece and Rome. The Hebrew had no conception of representative government. That comes from the Teuton and Saxons. But the Hebrew brought all men to the bar of one common judgment. And we have those wonderful stories of the struggle between Samuel and Saul, Nathan and David, Elijah and Ahab and always the book is on the side of the plain man and right and justice. It never qualifies before kings. Wm. Jennings Bryan wasn't particularly happy, but said he would "support the ticket of course." Mr. Davis had not been on his "white list" of candidates which he presented to the convention last week in an impassioned speech. In his articles, Bryan has been calling Mr. Davis "J.P. Morgan's lawyer." In the few tailots that preceded Davis' selection the Commoner had been busy on the floor trying to stem the tide. He might as well have tried to stop Niagara. The home-hungry delegates, inspired by the thought of agreement at last were Davis-bound and tide could not be headed off. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Smith's tactician and general manager, was happy. "Thank God," he said, "we got a good man at last and can go home happy." Ex-Gov. McCorkle of West Virginia was recognized after the parade and cheering had been in progress for 15 minutes. He was escorted to the plattform amid applause and said: "You have put your standard in worthy hands. "The days and nights here will be forgotten and we will go home and carry the banner of democracy where it should be carried freely, openly and so that all the people may see." "Brighter, glorious days are ahead for democracy under the brilliant leadership of John W. Davis." And both he and West Virginia thank this great convention for the honors they have conferred on us today." Then Josephus Daniels came forward. "We have had an impressive lesson taught us" he said, "in the matter of naming a great man for vice president nad I move you in order that wisdom may follow wisdom that this convention do now adjourn until 3:30 tonight so that everyone can properly consider what great and distinguished American — "dries of "Walsh, Walsh" interrupted him and he was unable to continue. It looked for a moment like the convention was going to name Tom Walsh by acclamation right then and there. Walsh, his face unsmilling and severe, pounded vainly with his gavel for quiet and order. He could not get it. Michael Igoe of Illinois, tried to place him in nomination but Walsh ruled him out of order. "I am sure," said Walsh, "it is the part of wisdom not to act on the impulse of the moment in this profoundly important question now before us. Deeply conscious of the honor you would pay me. I beg to tell you I have given careful consideration to the matter to which you refer and I am certain we should adjourn to reconvene declared that the regular army comprised only 50,000 men present, while the second line of the defence, the national guard, consisted of volunteer amateurs who were now doing work formerly done by the regulars. Legionnaires are as strong for peace as anybody, but the wave of pacifism and communism sweeping the country should be combated, Martenet added. Most of the Spanish War veterans belong to the officers' reserve corps—in Orange coat at least. BENCHLEY TALKS At the meeting of the Fullerton Rotary today, there were a number of Anaheim guests and other out-of-town visitors. The meeting was featured by a talk on hearing by E. K. Benchley off the Farmers and Merchants' Bank of Fullerton, and an address of business ethics by Walter Thornton, pastor of the First Christian church. C. C. Chapman gave a talk on the G. O. P. convention. He was also in New York at the opening of the Democratic convention. Anahelm guests were: Byron Drake, Oscar Heyling, James M. Hitchcock, Fred Houck, Ernest Beard, Lee Elicholtz and Harry Campbell. have had it in two seconds merely by keeping still. But during this hectic week of deadlock the chairman has told his friends he did not want it and would not have if he. He is practically assured of re-election to the senate from Montana this year and he likes the senate. It appeared at 4 p.m., however, that he would have a hard time ducking the honor. The delegates went away satisfied they were coming back tonight to name Walsh and he may be nominated against his will unless he can get the leaders together and stop it in the next four hours. "I think it would be unwise personally and for the party for me to accept the vice-presidential nomination," said Walsh. "I have a good chance to come to the senate again from Montana and I do not want to waste time as a mere preadling officer." Try a Classified Ad for results. BROWN STRIPED SERGE FASHIONS PRACTICAL SUIT BROWN STRIPED SERGE FASHIONS PRACTICAL SUIT The Hebrew had no conception of representative government. That comes from the Teuton and Saxons. But the Hebrew brought all men to the bar of one common judgment. And we have those wonderful stories of the struggle between Samuel and Saul, Nathan and David, Elijah and Ahab and always the book is on the side of the plain man and right and justice. It never qualls before kings and it has no fear of man in it just because it has the fear of the Lord in it. What a story is that found in the Book of Amos crying out against the oppression of the poor by the rich. In the New Testament we hear the same story of struggle for liberty. On the one side Barrabas strives against Rome; on the other the True King warns all that the real slavery is that of the soul to sin. And yet that inner emancipation always runs against every outward slavery. So we have the Bible ever urging that we must not heed any human power if it be against the law of right. This is the higher treason which is the highest loyalty. So we hear the Seer in Revelation crying aloud from the stone-pits of Patmos, "Better die than Lord Caesar. Better die than deny Christ." The effect of the Bible upon civilization has been real and lasting just because of the effect of this record of centuries long struggle. In the Middle Ages the struggle was between the kings and the church and the church appealed to the story of Samuel and Paul and won. And it was well for the church was the disciplining force over the wild horde of northern Europe and the kings were the pirates and free-booteers with little regard for the people or right. We know that the Bible was the bread of life to our Puritan forefathers. The Psalms were the music that sang in their souls. And America is today what it is because of the Bible born faith of those strong men and women. Lincoln lived in the Bible and he tells us that God wrote Deuteronomy for him. It is impossible to exaggerate the effect of the story of Moses upon our great American's career. Men and women, America is severe, pounded vainly with his gavel for quiet and order. He could not get it. Michael Igoe of Illinois, tried to place him in nomination but Walsh ruled him out of order. "I am sure," said Walsh, "it is the part of wisdom not to act on the impulse of the moment in this profoundly important question now before us. Deeply conscious of the honor you would pay me, I beg to tell you I have given careful consideration to the matter to which you refer and I am certain we should adjourn to reconvene again this evening." There were loud cries of dissent and "no, no" and "Walsh, Walsh" from the floor. Walsh began to get panicky. It looked like the home-hungry delegates were going to stampede right over the platform and name him anyway. A dozen men were clamoring for recognition from the chair, so that they could move to make his nomination by acclamation without the formality of a nominating speech without the formality of a roll call. Walsh said: "All in favor of adjourning until tonight say 'aye'." His voice didn't get ten feet away from the platform. Those that did hear it hollered right back in his face "no." "The ayes have it," said Walsh and turned his back on them. They laughed, cheered him and began to file out. Had Walsh wanted the vice-presidential nomination he could largely what it is because of the Bible. And what is our situation? We have let our children grow up without knowledge of the Book. Foreigners and unbelievers have prevented our giving the Book to our children. The little time we have on Sundays in our Sunday school period is not long enough time for the teaching of the Word. The Bible is fundamental to our civilization and should be passed on to the rising generation. Religious bigotry and prejudice must give way before this need. If the soul of America is to be great it must feed upon the word. It is easy to lose the gains of centuries and it behooves us to pass on our religious heritage for it is the soul of the Republic.
