It is your business to make democracy safe for the world. The lesson of the last four years is, reform your interna- tionalism or die, said Dr. $. Parkes Cad man of Brooklyn, recognized as. one of the ablest pulpit orators in the English speaking world, in an intensely interesting and highly instructive lecture before a large audience at the Community House on Church street, Monday evening.
 pr. Cadman's lecture followed the reg nlar supper and business meeting of the Brotherhood of the United Congregat tion- al church under whose auspices the en1in- ent orator appeared in Norwich. pr. Cadman has been pastor of the Central CongreEa tional church in Brooklyn for score of years. Ten years of his youth were spent swinging a pick in an Eng fish coal mine. He then prepared for the ministry and came to this country. He started his life's work in a tiny country parish. but quickly earned a national rep utatien as a pulpit orator. His Brook lyn parish is one of the most important Protestant congregations in the country today.
 The lecture was given in the large as sembly room of the Community House before a representative gathering of men and women of Norwich. The room was attractively decorated with the Stars and Stripes.
 Dr. Cadnaan was introduced by Rev. Alexander H. Abbott pastor of the United Congregational church.
 After \eemmsntine favorablv on the | union of, the old Second Congrega tional l church and Broadway Congregational | churches which has resulted in the or ganization of the United Congregational church, and speaking highly of the con- nnnity house plan inaugurated by the l United Congregational church, Dr. Cad | man briefly outlined his recent visit to
 Europe before launching into his lecture l Dr. Cadman said he has just returned
 from Europe where he took part in the 1 Pilgrim ter-centenary.
 He spoke on the very dock from whicf
 the Mayfiower sailed three hundred
 years ago to the hour and the minute. H,
 said it was his privilege to enjoy tho
 hospitality of the lord mayor in Plymouth
 After the celebratie at Plymouth h.
 went on to Devon. He spoke to 10 ,0oI
 people in London and also spoke at tn,
 Manchester meeting at which the Bisho-
 of Manchester was presented. Dr. Cad
 man said he spoke on an average 0
 twice day for six weeks.
 i One thing that impressed him whil | he was in England, he said, was the si
 fence of the English on the part they play l ed, however. in their praise of the par : played by the Americans. The Englis : have nothing but the kindliest feeling fo this country, said Dr. Cadman Il Touching briefly on the League of ms tiens which Dr. Cadman took occasio : to style that somewhat obscure instrr nent" he said the English are conter
 to let us take our own views in regard ,
 reservations He went on to say that [ does not believe that we can have ar | other war like that which broke out
 1914 and maintain the primacy of u i, ] white race.
 I Herbert Hoover declares that fifty mi
 Hons were killed by the war. said D , Cadman. For every soldier killed in ba
 1 tie you can add six or seven civilians ar . -combatants killed by the war The! ] fifty millions represent a potential ra, l | of S6o,oeo,e0o fifty years from now. IT g white race canIfot continue this whoiesa : 1 suicide and maintain their primacy. Ui
 less the American people play the gan 7 as they ought, down they will go
 The losses cf the war have been terr
 ble. If you could parade fifty millic
 dead through this city it would take tv and a half years for them to pass. It ] high time for us to gird our loins and r 2 l light OFT lamps
 Dr. Cadman went on to speak of e, isting conditions in Europe today. Lea, , ership is what is needed. If there WE ever a time when Germany needs a Bi
 nnarck, it is now, he said Russia is he :. in the grasp of a radical Jew educa te in the east side of New York as finishing touch.
