Given Impetus to immigration.

many instances are fully as desirable
as in the first cabin.
The storage varies greatly. II the
ship is going to Europe the passengers
are much cleaner and better off han
they are when coming from the Old
World. Their quarters have vastly m
proved of late years, and also their
tratment.
1t may seem incredible. but it does
seem to be a fact hat the tour OF
Theodore Roosevelt has accelerated I'M
migration immensely. All owe Europe
the peasants have become enthusiastic
over Roosevelt and his country, and
they are hocking to the various ports
in numbers so great that the steam
ship companies are put to their wits
end to accommodate them.
immigration from the British Isles
is not as heavy as 1t used to be, as
thousands are going into Australia,
New Zealand. Canada and other
British possessions. But the United
States is getting its share
And we should be glad the millions
are coming to our shores, for science
has shown that the greater the mix
ture of bloods the stronger the re-
sultant human stock. America is the
leading nation of the earth because all
nations have poured and are pouring
their blood into its veins and arteries.
Newark is a cosmopolitan city.
Nearly every race on earth is repre-
scented in our population. and that is

people, but there are others Just as fine.
ireland has some of the loveliest char
acters In 1t 1 ever met. Scotland has
brought me face to face with some de-
lightful men and women. The folks of
Wales are a kindly people. English
men there are who can speak as well of
America as their own isle. In Ger
many I have met gentlemen and
gentlewomen everywhere. In France
1t is politeness wherever one turns. So
that the milk of human kindness Is
rather increased in ones breast by
those he meets and the things he sees.

There seems to be the greatest pos
sible rejoicing over the discovery that
the great requirement is character, and
the n duty of mar is to love and help
his fellow men, without regard to sect,
color or condition. If America can
solve the problem of religious tolera-
ton and can bring all denominations
and religions together on a working
basis of mutual respect and goodwill,
it will render the human race the
greatest service known in history. And
I have no doubt that this mixing of
religions on %shipboard and the broad
sentiments awakened is doing more
than is realized to do away with re-
ligious prejudice and hasten the day of
interchristian Fellowship and coopera-
ton.
The sea sobers people. It is vast, 1t
is powerful. it is often awful. 1t makes
them think how life hangs by a thread,
how suddenly we are here and how
suddenly we are gone. 1t inclines us
nightly to do our little deeds of kind
ness as we go along. putting nothing
off until the morrow, for who knows
what the next day will bring?
$50 many gods, SO many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind
