Sabbath morning church service
by rradio. It is so realistic that
the listener invariably reaebes for

They tlo not ask Bryan to ad
dress the International Sunday-
school convention. The reason
given Is that he Is not a practical
Sunday school man. - He has one
of the largest Bible classes in
America snd yet the leaders do
not seem to consider him as prac
tical. Is he practical at any
thing? He was never considered
as a practical politician. As i
statesman he was distressingly im
practical. He mast be like one
of these Inventors of perpetual
