WHY 00 N'T YOU KEEP QUIET, UR
BRYAN 1
By J. V. Williams, of New York.
"Why don't you keep quiet, Mr. Bryan?"
As the Philadelphia papers suggest.
McKinley's got the white house; ;
, Hanna's got all the rest. ' '
They're running this country to sui
themselves,. ' : ,
. They are playing a high-handed game,
Singing their own praises from day to
day . ;
- And want others to do the same.
"Why don't you keep quiet, Mr. Bryan?'
You know tbey said you were dead;
But now they are terribly frightened,
V And it is all about what you have said.
They are thinking again of "the dear
people" ' ;
And planning their votes to get, ,
But after tbe election is over
They'll desert them again, you bet.
V Why don't you keep quiet. Mr. Bryan?"
And let them form more trusts."
"It's all for the good of the country"
They will tell that old lie or bust.
They beliove in an "honest dollar,"
That is what we are told.
From Maine to Manila the cry goes up.
They all say it alond "more gold."
Why don's you keep quiet, Mr. Bryan?'
Protection you must not touch.
Let them tax the poor laboring man - .
To protect combines and such. ' ' -
Wall street is all against you, ' : .
Millionaires are not on your side;
Free silver or no free silver ,
They'd have you forever hide.
"Why don't you keep quiet, Mr. Bryan?V
And let our country expand. ,
We are wiping out the Fiiipino; . .
Will you not be a man, - " : -
And shout "Rah tor 'Kinley," 4 T
While our boys are standing shot
Taking more and more territoryV ;
To add to what we've got. . '
,-. .. '.i . .-.,.- ........
No, don't "keep quiet," dear William;
The people won't stand it long. ,
We're coming in nineteen hundred
With many hundred thousand strong.
From east to west, from north to south,
I hear the battle-cry,
Tbe working people are shouting
We'll elect William Bryan or diet

"Missionary Literature" was discussed
by Dr. J. T. Bagwell. He; read a very
able and interesting paper, and was fol
lowed by Dr. Swindell in a short, earnest
talk as to the best methods for clrculat
ing missionary literature. (
"The layman's obligation; to the mis
sionary work" was discussed by Dr. J.
F. Miller, of Goldsboro. This was one of
the very best addresses t,ha has been
delivered before tbe Institute, and that is
saying much. It was full of thoughtful
advice to the laymen, and j admonished
fhera to hold up the bapda of tbe preach
ers, without wblcj their work must be
very incomplete. ' . Mk
Rev. A. D. Betts and Rev J. W. Will
iams followed In earnest, zealous talks.
This completed the program- tor the
evening, but Rev. R. B. John by request
talked about "How to take collections."
Revs. T. H. Sottoa and D. H.Tuttlegave
their experience iu taking collections.
The plan of Mr. Tattle, the dividing of
his congregation into twelve tribes, over
each of which was a leader la a very
unique on. ; '
The Institute adjourned at 5 o'clock
, THURSDAY EVENING, 8:80 P. M.
The exercises this evening were con
ducted under thciauspices of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary society, of Klnston.
It is usually conceded that what the la
dies do they do well. Tbe $ xerclses this
evening were another illustration of this
fact ' Probably It would Tiot be- saying
tod much to say they wpre tbe most in
teresting and profitable of all that have
yet been held. .Those who heard the ad
dress of Dr. Swindell Wednesday night
and the addresses yesterday will realize
that this is saying a great deal.
The exercises wer opwi-d with a vol
untary by the choir, and prayer by Rev.
A. D. Betts. i '
Mrs. windell being absent, a paper
prepared by her, giving the history of tbe
Ladies' Missionary society in Kinston,
was read by Dr. Swindell.
Before reading tbe paper Dr. Swindell
gave a brief history of the society in the
State, which Bbowed that tbe 'society in
Kinston is one of the oldest in the State.
The paper wan full of in teresr and showed
how faithful the ladies have been in keep-
ng alive, all these; yearv the Kinston
auxiliary; and they all must have ex
perienced a feeling of pridn and satisfac
tion, as their names were called and it
was een who bad been the active work
ers during these years. , Some have gone
up to receive their reward, others have
gone away, but the greater part are still
here carrying on the work. May they re
ceive new inspiration and be encouraged
by tbe past to do greater things in the
uture.
Mrs. W. B. Lee, from Brazil, talked of
the work in Brazil." She and her husband
have been in that field for about three
years and fchf knows from experience tbe
difficulties of the work.
Brazil is under the influence of the Ro
man Catholic church, . which she says is
the church of tbe devil and reeking with
vice and corruption. They have no Sab
bath or bible and profane the name of
God at tbe end of almost every sentence;
even the priests are profane. They are
ull of superstition and idolatry. A
great many of the people have lost faith
a the religion of the church and curse
the priests but practice its ordinances be
cause it is custom and they have not the
manhood to oppose aod resist. The Vir-
ai3drcr-:d in a tl'.k rjown and this
gown covers a multit'Jue of tha dolor's

!y rc h.-;'. It was a very iatcrcstir
&zl instructive talk. - - I
Dr. Swindell, ia well cbosca lars:;?, I
introduced Mrs. Kendall, from Georgia
who Is the assistat organizer for borne
and domestic missions for Georgia, North
Carolina and Tennessee. She Is a fluent
speaker and full of love and zeal for her
work. She captivated her audience In
the very beginning of ber address. She
said that the domestic and foreign mis
sions are bo interwoven that tbey are de
pendent the one on the other, that there
could be no success of the one without
the other. . V '
It is impossible for me to give a just
sjnopeis of ber address. To have been ap
preciated it should have been heard. It
stirred tbe audience, and on all sides
could be heard: "A magnificent, address,1
She ia intensely interested and in earnest
in her work, and must create enthusiasm.
It was much regretted ' that the ' late
