WESTERN DlVINt'S PLAN

At the Methodist mass meeting for
church extension held at Metropolitan
Church last night. where four bishops
were the speakers and a great audience
of clergy and Iaity heard their remarks.
Bishop John William Hamilton, of San
Francisco. predicted the future Amesi-
can would be composite type of all the
races OF the earth-especially of all the
races that now inhabit the United
States.
He eulogized his own conception. de-
ciaring the amalgamation of all the
races was Gods solution of the race
problem. whether Its prejudices and diff
ficulties were provoked by the presence
OF the black man IN the South or the
yellow man in the West. The audience
heard the prediction In complete silence.
though sullen resentment blazed on
many faces throughout the great audi
torium. Only a few persons, however,
actually left the church.
Conditions in Maryland
over in Maryland" declared Bishop
Hamilton. I'm a tone and with a manner
that gravitated between excitement and
disgust. some cheap politicians are try
ing to solve the race proSlem--so called
by thrusting its difficulties out of their
path They are trying to deprive men
OF their God-given rights.
Its Gods plan. What account does
he take OF the prejudices and follies
of foolish men? In time they viii be
wiped away and the American of the
future wiz have become the composite
type or all the. races Of the earth
Bishop Hamilton gave several Has
trations of the manner In which he said
he -
would be solved. He did not pay much
attention to the particulars of the little
trouble that exists in the South. but
discussed the Chinese problem in San
Francisco and on the Pacific Coast. He
said the two problems were essentially
the same. and declared the people of
San Francisco hecarna as frenZied when
they discussed the menace OF the
Chinese as did the people of other sec
tions when they consider the alleged
menace of the negro.
Daughter of Chinaman.
'.The other day IN my old home of
Boston. lady rose from her seat in
street car and spoke TO me- said
Bishop Hamilton. After a moment I
recognized In her the daughter OF a
Boston girl and Chinaman. both of
whom had been members of my con-
gregation, many years ago
a. This Is Lizzie Blank 1 said
No though ] was once, came the
answer. She handed me her card which
showed her TO he the wife or ono of the
most prominent of the youn ger Bos;cn
merchants She held up for my inspec-
ton beautiful child. from whose oyee
the almond shape had disappeared and
who carried in her skin just enough OF
the yellow tint 30 make her seem IN
ivory Venus"
Bishop Hamilton had other lllustra-
tions OF what he meant and .ssis ;!i..T1l
They were along similar lines. His
speech. somewhat out of gear with TIE
machinery Of the meeting. was the meet
ins's most sensational and interesting
feature. Everything @iise. indeed. Wis
dwarfed into an immediate insignjh-
canoe. HIS dazzling future prosper was
almost the sole topic CT discussion
aa,ong those who heard his remarks. SIS
they left the church for their homes.

odis; Union and Church Extension So
