First President.

Improbable as 1t may seem to some OF
you count 1t not impossible that Theo-
dore Roosevelt some day will be president
OF congress of the world" said Rev. DIR.
Hiram W. Thomas of Chicago in sermon
delivered at the Church OF Our Father, Uni

believed this possible mot because, of
Roosevelts great abilities, not primarily be-
cause of his energy or courage, but be-
cause of his God-consciousness.
DR.. Thomas traced the gradual develop
ment of the nations to a state where they
are brought face to face and forced to real
lie the general brotherhood of mankind.
LAS never before. the nations of the earth
stand face to face he said. The essential
unity of the different races is being ad-
mitted. The life and needs of mankind are
seriousness. More and more we are coming
to realize the universal brotherhood of man.
And with a world consciousness Is felt the
need of a world organization as condi-
ton and means to the great end of world
peace
THE Hague court of arbitration is A
great fact. The next step will be world
congress, with representatives from all
! countries. with legislative, executive and
judicial powers In time will come su-
preme court and world president. Inc
form of our government may be the model,
and with his executive ability and con-
science toward God, Theodore Roosevelt
may yet be the world president.
with world consciousness is arising a
world will When that will finds effective
expression through a world congress and
