Continent.

New York, Dec. lS.-With a smiling
reference to the attack of the Method
ist church in Africa" President Taft
addressed an immense gathering at
Carnegie hall tonight at the diamond
jubilee of the Methodist Episcopal
church, called to celebrate the compile
tion OF a campaign started last jan
,Elry. whereby SS00,1G7 has been raised
TO further mission work In Africa.
OF this sum $72,49S has been received

The Rev. J. t. Hartzell. bishop of
Africa. through whose efforts the
money was raised, was the only other

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
The president said IN part:
1t Is not. perhaps, appropriate to
date Il religious movement from war.
but it does seem to me eS IL our pco-
pie acquired q world feeling from the
time we undertook the responsibilities
OF freeing Cuba and saying what should
be done by our neighbors with refer
ence to Internal government when that
internal government seemed to us to
pass the bounds OF what we thought
to be civilization.
I'VE began our wnr expecting to fin

Philippines, ard We are there still. but
our horizon was w1dened much beyond
these gems of the Pacific ocean by rea-
son OF the responsibilities which We
have been obliged to assume with ref
crcnce to the entire world. We arc

tremendous wealth, and, unless we use
that for the benefit of our international

we ought to feel as members of the in

TO regard that as narrow-minded as a
man who does not like music, who does
not understand the things that God has
provided for the evolution OF the human
race.
missionaries in China, missionaries
in Africa, are the forerunners of our
civilization, and without them we
should have no hope of conquering the
love and the admiration an9 he respect
OF the millions of people that we hope
TO bring under the influences of Chris

poses into those distant lands, am
sorry TO say, are quicker to catch the

THE United States has not any ter

I'VE have enough. Some people think
we have got a great deal more shan

James ]. Sheehy thus recounts a
shopping experience Of his wife:
"She was looking for some favors
to decorate q table for St Patricks
day. She visited n number of shops
and was shown Teddy bears tied up
in green ribbons. monkey-faced trim
kets. and last, but not least, lot OF
green pigs.
"She asked the clerk what signtfi-
canoe they attached to these articles.
"One said: We always associate
these things with st. Patrick's day,
don't your My wife was very indig-
nant naturally and when she told me-
about 1t / was indignant, too. I see
no reason why the Irish should be rep
resented symbolically by pig OF a
