s. ParkEs CRdman Of BROOKLYN. NJ.
T., VINO Addressed a small autiience
at the Chautauuua tent Thursday Hf-
ternnun. His subjert WAS "A Re-
created World" but as he portrayed
events and conditions we haven't 1t
yHt by any means. We have 1t To
get, by our own efforts. DIR. Cadman
puiuted out the giaring defects-snme
of them-in our own and other M
tiunE,a as well as the glorious things
that have bean ID our cnliecrive
credit. He is a keen critic Of man
and things. and his clarity of mind
and thought sfIDne IN his invecrive
against the preposternus demands of
labor. the Grass matariaIism which
has produced only second rate men in
all countries alike, our stupidity and
Hhurtsigttednes in education, our
fatuaus Qualification of our own na-
tiun. our race hatreds and political
hatreos; the incurabie and disastrous
political egoIism of our public men
In administration and Senate: and
the uncfristian dissensinns and futile
gestures Of the churches. He did
more than criticise- He painted the
way, rather. several tributary paths
leading to the main road which we
Of the English speaking race must
travel II we are TO assume and hula
world leadership. Those who were
not present at the Chautuauua tent
Thursday afternoon missed one of
the greates- addresses that has been
uttered in Augusta for many a day.
DR. Cadman prefacsd his address
with a plea for the Chautauuua as an
institution He gave the Chautauuua
I platform credit for being the start
ing place of many great and righte-
GUS movements, and characterized i
I as a free. open forum necessary for
the expression uf ideas which do
not, always find opportunity To reach
! the public tfruugh the commercial
press or the halls Of politically cun-
rrolled Iigislafures& There are now
60a0 Chautuaquas and DR. Cadmium
predicts IN 50 wears there will be
&c. 600
He said in part:
I'VE are now in the midst Of 4
great crisis. We are living in a FOOLS
paradise. The world is undune. and
we are guilty and woebegone before
Almighty God Unless we can show
more self-reverence, self-knpwledge
and sellf-cnutrui we sflofl lose the
primacy we now hold. and we shall
lose il ieservedlv. We have TO re-
create the world and / do NOT be
fieve we have the men To meet the
test Of the task
Dr. Cadman ran his eye over the
men AT the forefront of world affairs
and found them wanting. President
Wilson he characterized as incur

DR. Cadman. Llovd-Geurge he called
an ewelient speaker. but poor
statesman. whose position grows
more precariuus with each succesd-
ing election. The ex-kaiser ne class
ed as "a poor two-forEed human car
rot" There are no more great men
like the Pitts. Fox and Gladstone In
England. Lincoln in this country, or
even like Bismarck whose really
great ability was SO perverted 70
evil ends. The reason. according 70
DIR Cadman, is mararialism, the
conquest Of money, the lack OF his
torical and religious perspective, and
their resultant. woes.
Passing from men To events and af
fairs. he spoke of the million and a
half railroad men here who wish and
try to submit LIB millions of people
to their will Things are three times
