Excerpt from Mid-Winter Bible Conference Echoes: A Book of Sermons and Addresses Delivered in Forty-Five Eastern, Western and Southern Cities of the United StatesA great throng, rich and poor, statesman and laborer, crowded Poli's theater yesterday afternoon, to its utmost capacity at the initial meeting of the Mid-winter Bible Conference to hear two of the world's greatest disciples of peace preach the doctrine of! The Bible. Long before the doors were Open, a surging mass of humanity besieged the theater, some with tickets, others without, seeking admission. And when the doors finally were thrown open the seats filled rapidly, the standing capacity was taxed, and thousands then were turned away. Nev-er in the history of Washington's church world did a greater throng strive to hear the message of the Bible.There were but two speakers yesterday - the Rev. Dr. Cr. Campbell Morgan, of London, and Secretary of State, William Jennings Bryan. But the messages from afar and near which were brought by these eminent, men, both scholars, both statesmen, and both brilliant ora tors, were carried into thousands of Washington homes, there to be analyzed and pondered over. Dr. Morgan spoke first, brilliantly and impressively! He and Mr. Bryan were introduced by Vice President Marshall, who presided, and in that easy manner and soft English accent the distinguished Britisher spoke for nearly an hour. It seemed but half that time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
