AS o nation said Dr. Parkhurst. we
occupy "a peculiar position. and in the
eyes Of the world at large. even as far
as the Orient, VIC stand as distinctly
Christian nation. We advertise our
Christianity, in fact by the conspicuous
efforts we are making to proselyte people
ut home and abroad TO the Christian
faith
I'VE are not braggarts, We know our
shortcomings. but with the single excep-
ton Of England there is no nation that
can do for the world in the way Of up
lifting what America can.
Our opportunity is enormous. The
heart Of this great people ought to be
thrilled by the sense of it. And we ought
to be conscientiously careful not to let
foreign respect be disproportionately
maintained either by evident tokens of
our national progress or by abundant re-
sources and brute strength materialized
in cannon balls and Dreadnaughts.
An event 10 be mentioned with extreme
sadness is the forthcoming jamestown
Exposition. Primarily, it is a military and
naval demonstration. It is advertised as
the greatest naval pageant the world has
ever seen. Is that what we have come
to in three centuries? It is advertised as
an enchanting picture OF war War is
hell.
1T is gratifying that the administration

defer action on the matter until specific
information has been received as TO Just
what Mayor Sehmitz has agreed to in
the way Of a compromise. At a meeting
of the executive committee last night the

Individual labor leaders are not so con-
servative and do not hesitate To express
their opinion Of the action Of Mayor
Schmitz and 70 accuse him Of betraying
the cause of union labor. One of the
most scathing denunciations of the mayor
comes from A HyceI. secretary Of the
Exclusion League. Before the executive
committee met last night he said:
If Mayor Schmitz has made any agree
ment by which japanese children are to
be allowed TO attend the same schools as
American children, il will be better for
him not to come back 10 san Francisco.
Such an agreement would be betraying
the trust that the people put in him. and

streets when he returns here
