We regret to record the death of Mr. W. J.

Bryan at Dayton, Tennessee, last Sunday. Evidently he had, overtaxed his strength at the Scopes trial. Though not many educated persons can be found to admire the cause which Mr. Bryan made his own at Dayton we shall all recognize that he would have considered himself happy in the occasion of his death. He had won his case and he devoutly believed himself to be standing for the truth., If such a sudden death had come to any of his opponents at the trial Mr. Bryan might, with all sincerity, have believed that the judgment of God had fallen upon that man.
