Cuba we are at this moment leav-
ing for the second time, to work out
destiny which We now hope and be-

derly Independence and prosperity.
In the Philippines we are constantly
giving an increasing measure of self
government. OF course, in one sense
of the word self,government can never
be bestowed by outsiders upon any
people 1t must be achieved by them
selves. 1t means in this sense pri-
marily self-control, self-restraint, and

But we are constantly giving to
the people of the Philippines an in
creasing share in, an increasing op
portunity to learn, by practice, the diff
cult art of self-government If we
had abandoned them at the outset 10
| their own devices. if we had shirked
cur duty and sailed out of the islands
leaving them in bloody welter Of
confusion, the chief sufferers would
have been the Philippine people them
selves. We are leading them forward
steadily in the right direction. and
we are doing it because our people at
home desire that they shall be treated
right, and because our people in the
islands, in the civil government, in
the army, and among the missionary
representatives of the various creeds
work primarily for the advancement
of the people among whom they dwell

toric accuracy and impartiality wher

and attitude toward the Filipino peo
pie, in its combination of disinter

mon sense, marks a new and Ions
stride forward, in advance of all steps
that have hitherto been taken alona
the path of wise and proper treatment
of weaker by stronger races
The closing portion of the address
was devoted to an appeal for liberal
support of the missionary workers
particularly of the Methodist church
in Africa, the efforts of Bishop Hart
zell in this direction being warmly
praised.
