THE MAN WHO WINS
“The mart who ^ins is the man who
works—
The man who toils while the next
man shirks j
The man who stands in his deep dis
tress
* With his head held higjh in the deadly
press—
f Yes, he is the" man who wins. '
“The man who wins is the man who
knows
The value of pain and the worth of
woes—
Who a lesson learns from the man
who fails.
[ And a moral finds mournful
Yes, he is the mantyho wins.
“The rnan who wirfc is the man who
stays
In the unsought paths and the rocky
ways, - i
And, perhaps, who lingers, now and
then,
To help some failure to rise again.
Ah, he is the man who wins!”

organized in the First Presbyterian
church. Mr. Bryrin was asked to
teach the clas^and readily responded.
When it was announced that Mr.
I^ryan would conduct the class, peo
ple flocked to the church, which soon
was ing^equate for the large gather
ings. Permission was granted by the
city commissioners to conduct the
class in the Royal Palm park and each
season since from December 1 to May
this famous class every Sunday morn
ing is held.
It has been estimated at various
times that the average attendance of
this class was more thair 4,000 per
sons. As many as 8,000 persons have
filled the park to hear the great Com
moner.
The Rev. Willis O. Gannett; pastor
of the First Presbyterian .church,
stated tonight that Mr. Bryant influ
ence through this class was greater
th&n that of any minister in Miami.
“The audience consisted of a certain
element of people that had not been
accustomed to attend church.^ True,
it was said that the majority of^the
audience were members but the other
element was also attracted Op the
class,” Mr. Garrett said. P
That the accumulation of wealth by
these means became a problemTto Mr.
Bryan had been revealed at various
times. ‘ r ' -
The Rev. Mr. Garrett, who was in
timately acquainted with Mr. Bryan,
tells of a visit of the Commoner in
his study last year. Mr. Bryan spoke
confidentially- la Garrett in re
gard to his wealth, and it was evident
that he treated the subject as a
weighty problem.
According to Mr. Garrett, Mr.
Bryan explained that he came to
Miami to retiro, that! he bought what
waa then a piece of modest priced pro
perty and that he built himself a mod- enjoyed.
Miami Minister Tells of Great Influ
ence. Reached Thousands in '
Tourist Bible Class.
Miami, Fla., July 26.—William Jen
nings Bryan first became interested
in Florida affairs 25 ye^fs' ago when
he visited the state during the Demo
cratic state convention in which his
cousin, W. S. Jennings, was nominat
ed for governor of the state.
He toured the state with Mr. Jen
nings extensively and made a num
ber of public appearances during the
trip. He did not, however, go direct
ly in the interest of his cousin, and
his speeches contained no reference
to the political campaign. His pres
ence with Mr. Jennings on the trip,
hoover, had a psychological effect.
. During Mr. Jennings’ term as gov
ernor Mr. Bryan frequently visited
Tallahassee and spoke before the leg
islature. As a colonel in the Spanish^
American war he was stationed in
Jacksonville and his presence there
further cemented him to the state. r
Mr. Bryan made his first visit to
Miami about 15 years ago. Shortly
after his first visit, he bought what
was then a modest priced property
and built the Villa Serena, which be
came his winter home for many years
after.
Thousands of visitors have visited
the home. The place was always open
to the public, the gates were never
closed and it was the mecca of sight
seers. Mr. Bryan disposed of thi:
beautiful home last year and purchas
ed a more modest home, in Cocobnut
Grove, a suburb of Miami. ‘ '
'One of the distinctive features of
life in Miami is' the tourist Bible class
of the First Presbyterian church,
which is taught by Mr^ Bryan. This , .
class was firstjjegun In-1916 and .was, M 1 "’ Bryan might
est home.
The property increased in > value.
The question that confronted him was
whether he should continue to live in
his home or seek more humble quar
ters. Mr. Bryan did J dispose of the
Villa Serena and purchased a more
moderate hofee^in the suburbs of the
city, Mr. Garrett said.
“He had spoken to me various times
about retiring from pyblic work. He
wanted to write his memoirs, he said.
Mr. Bryan could not detach himself
from the people. Always a servant
of the masses, he came to the point
where he became their slave.
“I think it extremely unfortunate
that Mr. Bryan should pass from the
world before he wrote his memoirs.
He had a brilliant mind and a bril
liant memory, and the memoirs that
he would have written weuld have
been of priceless value to the present
and coming generations.
/ “I spoke to him a short time before
he lift for Dayton, Tenn. He real
ised the storm that would result at
the ensuing trial but said that he went
there to defend the Bible for the
people and to win souls for Christ.
.1 “Mr. Bryan was a ruling elder of
the First Presbyterian church. He
was elected to that office five years
ago. Suspending prevailing rules, the
congregation made him a ruling elder
for life, not merely to honor him but
because of his relationship to the
Presbyterian church and the cause for
religion throughout the country.”
J. L. Billingsly, Miami attorney,
was perhaps more intimately ac
quainted with Mr. Bryan than any
other Miamian. Their friendship ex
tended back many years.
Dr. Billingsley is critically ill at his
home. Relatives feared that the news
cause a setback. Mr. Billingsley nud
been ’intimately associated with Mr.
Bryan during his residence in Miami.
