Atithe closing session last night
the outstanding number was an
address by Mrs. Dan Brummitt, OF
Chicago. Her subject was "Pat-
rotism Plus" and carried a mess
age ofsappeal to every true Amerl-
can. In this address Mrs. Brum-
mttt gave emphasis to the great
motive Of sclf-sacriace, added to
world by Christ,
Jesus heart was not broken BY
AtheE GROSS on which He died." she
declared, "but by the crosses
borne by a.sinful world. We read
otoday In the press and in the
magazines of things that make US
knowth the world needs more Of this
aelf=sacrihce."
Mrs. Brummitt told Of a visit to
Europe and how in all parts of
the Continent wars d~esolation was
Apparent And to 1t all, she said.
theteswas no answer. 1t was then.
she said, that she began 10 truly
realize the meaning OF Edith
Gayill's statement that Patriot
ism tsnot enough"
REFERRING to conditions in this
\ country, Mrs. Brummitt said that
into the northern cities has come
a great, ignorant hoarde whose
nteracy is 1 in 10, and she de-
sclared that the Woman's Home
missionary Society has just begun
10 act on the responsibility en-
gendered by these immigrants.
II was stated that in West Wiz
gi1ia $40 is spent for the educa-
ton OF THE white race, per caplto,
and 50 for the black. In the
World war, she said, $4,000 600
black skinned men went out with
my boy and your boy, and fought
Tor the same things they fought
for. And now they stand and ask
that their children have an oppor'
ttinity to learn Of those things for
which their fathers fought"
""The Woman's Home Mission
aty Society has heard the cry Of.
children in Belgium, France, Ger
many, China and Russia" she de-
clared, land now I ask you to
listen to one more cry-that OF the
children under my own Stars and
Stripcs-the children who have a
right to ask for help, because we
have thrown our banner over
them"
While discussing the nature of
the people flooding u country
from Europe, Mrs. Brummitt mem
toned a remark made by a Boil
shevist. Don't bother with the
old men, he said. NOR the middle
aged men, or Americans; get after
The immigrants, and organize
them" She made 1t plain that it
IS the duty OF Americans as we'll
5 as the Missionary Society to AM
ericanize these people, to teach
them the ideals of America.
Throughout her talk Mrs. Brum-
mutt referred to the teachings Of
Jesus and once referred to a Ger
tain Chinese ambassador who re-
turned to his home and said that
e was not considered the proper
thing in America to mention
Christ in polite society.
Sha continually stressed the
Importance of Americanizatlon,
education, and Outstanding TO
those with foreign blood, and
scored heavily the modern divorce
DYsystem and ace antagonism.
cit is high time the Woman's
Home Missionary Society began to
think of Limitation Of immigra-
ton, she said, "but isn't it about
time we began to set some other
! form Of limitation besides a mere
numerical one?" She then men
toned several cases which have
come to her attention in the i'm
i migration ports. showing that
America has been a sort Of dump
ing ground for Europe.
Mrs. Brummitt charged the
members OF the Society to so out
better mothers. better wives, and
better housekeepors. "Be better
national housekecpers. too" she
added.
She begged the men to add to
their lives, love; and to love, add
Brotherhood; and to brotherhood,
add the things for the cross
stands. She charged the members
OF the society to prove equal TO
the belief in Europe that this coun
try stands by the teachings Of
Christ, and asked that the society
do its part toward making this
Gods country.
