"sUN SHINE" /"

This is tile subject Of the lecture to be
given by DR.. A. A. Willis on Thursday
evening, September 22d. in the Opera
| House, fnr the benefit of st. Anne's Par.
ish, tile purpose being TO repair and put
| in condition OH 81. Annr's Church prinf
to cele',ra'i Z in Jlfe next the Two
hundredilI anni,erear. ol ills ahc.el.t
edifice.
DR.. Willis is a speaker OF renown, and
the subject chosen for this occasion is
one OF his best. Critics from all parts
Of the country pronounce this lecture
superb Read the following:
DR.. A. A. Willis delivered his lecture
on Sunshine last night at Greene $
Opera House. 1t was next to the last
number on the Y. Nj. G. A. entertain
ment course, and crowded house was
out to hear Dr. Willis DIR. Willis il
the desciple of sunshine and his eighty
two years but serve to lay emphasis upon
what lie breaches in his lecture-the
value OF cheerful living. The talk last
night was the most popular one in the
course and was one OF the most enter
tanning and instructive lectures heard
here. nipples of merriment swept over
the house at the will of the lecturer; and
his preaching, for much of it was good,
straightforward preaching, was always in
kindly and humorous manner that won
the hearts Of the listeners. The lecture
was valuable illustration Of the fact
that lnmor is needed in any public ad
dress to keep the minds of the hearers
clear and receptive the assertion might
be ventured that not one person in the
audience missed one of the points made
BY DIR. Willis and the reason was that
the minds of the people were kept keen
by the kindly and incisive humor OF the
speaker. DR.. Willis gave few rules
for happy life. 1t is impossible in any
sort Of review to give any impression
of the charm and force of the lecture,
but few of the main thoughts can be
stated. The first rule given for happy
life was to count your blessings. DIR.
Willis made the statement that more
young people were driven away from the
Christian religion by the dismal humor
OF many people than by all the infidels
in the world. DIR. Willis touched the
hearts OF his hearers and it is,from such
discourses that results spring. The seeds
OF humor that he sowed will germinate
through the seriousness of heart and
purpose that was in them and will bear
fruit in making the lives of his hearers
happier.-Ceddr Rapids, Iowa.

repel any wrong and in exceptional
cases to take action which in more
advanced stage Of international rela-
lions would come under the head of the

Arbitration Treaties.
We are in every way endeavoring to
help on, with cordial good will, every
movement which will tend to bring us
into more friendly relations with the
rest of mankind. In pursuance of this
policy 1 shall shortly lay before the
senate treaties OF arbitration with all
powers which are willing to enter into
these treaties with us. It is not pos
sible at this period Of the works de-
velopment to agree to arbitrate all mat
tiers, but there are many matters of
possible difference between us and 9th
er nations which can be thus arbitrat-
ed. Furthermore, at the request of the
nterparliamentary union, an eminent
body composed Of practical statesmen
from all countries, have asked the
powers to join with this government
in a second Hague conference, at which
it is hoped that the work already SO
happily begun at The Hague may be
| carried some steps further toward COM
pletion. This carries out the desire ex-
pressed by the first Hague conference
itself.

.Riqhts Of American Citizens Abroad.
Even where it is not possible to Sc
cure in other nations the observance
of the principles which we accept as
automatic it is necessary for us firm
Nv to insist upon the rights Of our own
citizens without regard to their creed
.or race, without regard to whether
they were born here or born abroad. It
has proved very difficult to secure from
Russia the right for our Jewish fellow
citizens to receive passports and travel
through Russian territory. Such con-
duct is not only unjust and irritating
toward us, but it is difficult to see it's
wisdom from Russia's standpoint. No
conceivable good is accomplished by 1t.
If an American Jew or an American
Christian misbehaves himself in Rus
STA he can at once be driven out, but
the ordinary American Jew, like the
ordinary American Christian, would
behave just about as he behaves here
that is, behave as any good citizen
ought to behave-and where this is the
case it is a wrong against which we are
-. 1
entitled to protest to refuse him his
passport without regard to his conduct
and character merely on racial and re-
ligious grounds. In Turkey our diff
fcuties arise less from the way in
which our citizens are sometimes treat
ed than from the Indignation inevitably
excited In seeing such fearful misrule
as has been witnessed both in Armenia
and Macedonia.
The Navy.
The strong arm Of the government in
enforcing respect for it's just rights in
international matters Is the navy Of
the United States. i most earnestly
recommend that there be no halt in the
work Of upbuilding the American navy.
There Is no more patriotic duty before

Of aliens coming to the attention Of the
executive branches Of the government
have increased to an alarming de-
gree. Extensive sales Of forged certifi-
Gates Of naturalization have been dis.
covered, as well as many cases Of nat
uralization secured by perjury and
fraud, and in addition, instances have
accumulated showing that many courts
issue certificates Of naturalization care
lessly and upon insufficient evidence.
Under the constitution it is in the
power Of the congress Ito establish
uniform rule Of Naturalization and
numerous laws have from time to time
been enacted for that purpose, which
have been supplemented in few states
by state laws having special applica
ton. The federal statutes permit nat
ural1zat1on by any court of record in
the United States having common law
jurisdiction and seal and clerk, ex-
cept the police court Of the District of
Columbia, and nearly all these courts
exercise this important function. 1t
results that where so many courts of
such varying grades have jurisdiction
there is lack Of uniformity in the rules
applied in comforting naturalization.
Some courts are strict and others lax.
An alien who may secure naturaliza-
ton in one place might be denied it in
another, and the intent Of the constitu-
tional provision is, in fact, defeated.
Furthermore, the certificates of nat
uralization issued by the courts differ
widely in wording and appearance and
when they are brought into use in for
eign countries are frequently subject
to suspicion.
