OF HIS DUTCH BLOOD
"World Movement" Discussed
and Reminds Them That
Great Men Spring from the
Poor People.
' Berlin. May 12. Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt delivered tbe following lec
ture on "The World Movement" at
tbe University of Berlin:
I very highly appreciate the chance
to address tbe University of Berlin in
tbe year that. closes its first centenary
. of existence. It U difficult for you in
tbe old world fully to appreciate the
feelings of a man who comes from a
nation still in tbe making to a country
with an Immemorial historic past, and
especially is this tbe case when that
country, with Its ancient past behind
it, yet looks with proud confidence
Into tbe future and In tbe present
.snows all tbe abounding vigor of lusty
youth. '
, Buch is tbe case with Germany.
More than thousand years have
passed since tbe Roman empire of the
west became In fact a German empire.
TO .tnia ancient land, witb Its glori
ous past and splendid present, to this
land of many memories and of eager
hopes, I come from a young nation
which is by blood akin to and yet dif
ferent from each of tbe great nations
of middle and western Europe, which
has Inherited or acquired much from
each, but is changing and developing
very inheritance and acquisition into
something new and strange.
"I Come From the Dutch."
The German strain in our blood Is
large, for almost from tbe beginning
there has been a large German element
among the successive waves of new
comers whose children's children have
been and. are being fused into the
American nation, and I myself trace
my origin to that branch of tbe Low
Dutch stock which raised Holland out
of tbe North sea.
Moreover. . we have taken from you
not only much of tbe blood that runs
through our veins, but much of the
thought that shapes our minds. For
generations American scholars have
flocked to your universities, and, thanks
to if he wise foresight of his imperial
majesty, tbe present emperor, the In
timate and friendly connection be
tween the two countries is now in
every way closer than it bos ever been
before. .;'
Germany is pre-eminently a country
la which the world movement of to
day in all of Its multitudinous aspects
Is plainly visible. Tbe life of this unl
versity covers tbe period during which
that movement baa spread until it is
felt throughout every continent, while
Its ; velocity has been constantly .. ac
celerating, so that tbe face of the
world bas changed and Is now cbang
lng as never before.
Civilisation's Records.
.The first civilizations which left be-
"hind them clear records rose in that
hoary historic past which geological
ly Is part of tbe Immediate. present
and which Is but a span's length from
the present, even when compared only
with tbe length of time that man bas
lived on this planet These flrt civ
luxations were those which rose in
Mesopotamia and the Nile valley some
six or eight thousand years ago.
' As far as we can see. they were well
nigh iudependent centers of cultural
development, and our knowledge is not
sucn at present as to enable us to
connect either with the early cultural
movements in southwestern Europe on
tbe one hand or In India on the other
or witb that Chinese civilisation which
has been so profoundly affected by In
dian Influences.
Tbe spread of tbe European peoples
since the days of Ferdinand tbe Cath
ollc and Ivan the Terrible has been
across every sea and over every contl
nent. In places tbe conquests -have
been ethnic that Is. there has been a
new wandering of tbe peoples, and
new commonwealths have sprung up
la which tbe people are entirely or
mainly or European blood.
This is what happened lo the tern
perate and subtropical regions of the
western hemisphere. In Australia, in
nnrtkini of nnHhm A.t. ..n.
era Africa. In other places the con
quest has been purely - political, the
Europeans representing for the most
part merely a small caste of soldiers
and administrators, as in most of trop
ical Asia and Africa and in much of
tropical America. Finally here and
there instances occur where there has
been no conquest at all, but where an
alien people are profoundly and radi
cally changed by the mere impact of
western civilisation.
Japan's Wonderful Growth.
The most extraordinary instance of
this, of course. Is Japan, for Japan's
growth and change during the last
half century have been to manr ways
the most striking phenomenon' of all
history. Intensely proud of her past
history. Intensely loyal to certain of
her past traditions, she has yet with a
single effort wrenched herself free
from all hampering ancient ties and
with bound has taken her place
among the leading civilized nations of
mankind.

wealth of New Zealand Is doing.
When a great German scientist is
warring against the most dreaded en
emies of mankind, creatures of infin
itesimal size which the microscope re
veals in his blood, he may spend his
holidays of study la central Africa or
In eastern Aula, and , he must know
what Is accomplished ; In the labora
tories of Tokyo, just as he must know
the details of that practical application
of science which bns changed tlie Isth
mus of Panama from a death trap Into
what Is almost a health resort
Mankind Knit Together.
From a new discovery In science to
a new method of combating or apply
ing socialism, there Is no movement
of note which can take place In any
part of the globe without powerfully
affecting masses of ieople in Europe,
America and Australia, ' in Asia and
Africa. For weal or for woe, the peo
ples of mankind are knit together far
closer than ever before.
A. hundred years ago, when this uni
versity was founded, the methods of
transportation did not differ In the es
sentials from ; what they had been
among the highly civilized nations of
antiquity. Travelers and merchandise
went by land In wheeled vehicles or
on beasts of burden, and by sea in
boats propelled by sails or by oars,
and news was conveyed as it always
had been conveyed.
What Improvements there had been
bad been in . degree only and not In
kind, and In some respects there had
been retrogression rather than advance.
There were many parts of Europe
where the roads were certainly worse
than the old Roman post roads, and the
Mediterranean sea, for instance, was
by no means as well policed as in the
days of Trajan. , , : .'
Now steam and electricity have
worked a complete revolution, and the
resulting immensely increased ease of
communication , has in its turn com
pletely changed all the physical ques
tions of human . life. ;
Moreover, the invention and use of
machinery run by steam or electricity
have worked a revolution in Industry
Is great as tbe revolution in transpor
tation, so. that here again the differ
ence between ancient and modern eivi-
lization is one not merely of degree.
but of kind. ; , ;
In many vital respects the huge
modern city differs more from all pre
ceding cities than any of these dif
fered one from the other, and the
giant factory town Is of and by itseli
one of the most formidable problems
of modern life.
Steam and electricity have given the
race ; dominion over land and watei
such as it never had before, and nor.
the conquest of the air is directly lai
pending. As boohs preserve though!
through time, so the telegraph and,
telephone transmit It through the space
they annihilate, nnd therefore niinfi:
are swayed one by another without
regard to the limitations of space and
time which formerly forced each com
munity to work in comparative isola
tion. ' " .
'.It is the same with the body as witb
the brain. The machinery of the fac
tory and the farm enormously multi
piles bodily skill and vigor. Countless
trained Intelligences are at work to
teach us how to avoid or counteract
the effects of waste.
Irenlets Age Is Coming.
The enormous and constantly In
creasing output of coal and iron neces
sarily means the approach of the day
when our children's children or their
children's children shall dwell in an
ironless age and, later on. In an age
without coal and will have to try to
invent or develop new sources for the
production of heat and use of energy.
But as regards many another natural
resource scientific civilization teaches
us how to preserve it through use.
The best use of field and forest will
leave them decade by decade, century
by century, more fruitful, and we have
barely begun to use the Indestructible
power that comes from harnessed wa
ter. ' . .
The conquests of surgery, of medi
cine, tbe conquests in the entire field
of hygiene and sanitation, have been
literally marvelous. The advances in
the past century or two have been
over more ground, than was covered
during tbe entire previous history of
the human race.
In this movement there are signs of
mncb that bodes III. The machinery
is so highly geared, the tension and
strain are so great, the effort and the
output have alike so Increased, that
there Is cause to dread the ruin that
would coje from any great accident,
from any breakdown, and also the ruin
that may come from the mere wearing
out of the machine itself.
One of the prime dangers of civiliza
tion has always been its tendency to
and contentment

Now. I will not assert that in mod -
ern civUIzfd society these tendencies
have been wholly overcome, but there
has been a much more successful ef-
fort, to ..Overcome them than was tuet
ease In the early civilizations.
Wealthy men still exercise a large
and sometimes au hnproiter influence
In politics.' but It is apt ; to be an In
direct Influence, and in the advanced
states the mere suspicion that the
wealth of public men is obtained or
added to as an incident of their public
careers will, bar-them from public life.
Speaking generally, wealth may very i
greatly Influence modern political life,
but it is not acquired In political life.
The colonial administrators. German
or American, French or English, of
this generation lead careers which, as
compared with the careers of other
men of like ability, show, too little
rather than too much regard for money
making, and literally a world scandal
would be caused by conduct which a
Roman proconsul would have regard
ed as moderate and which would not
have been especially uncommon even
In the administration of England a
century and a half ago.
Great Men Come From the Poor.
On the whole, the great statesmen
of the last few generations have been
either men of moderate means or. If
men of wealth, men whose wealth was
diminished rather than increased by
their public services.
What Is the lesson .to Us. today? Are
we to go tbe way of the older civiliza
tions? The immense increase in the
area of civilized activity today, so that
it is nearly ' cotermiuous with the
world's surface; the immense increase
in the multitudinous variety of its ac
tivities; the immense Increase in the
velocity of , tbe world movement are
all these to mean merely that the
crash will be all the more complete
and terrible when it comes?
Personal ly I do not believe that our
civilization will fall. I think that on
the whole we have grown better and
not worse. I think that on the whole
the future holds more for us than even
the great past has held. , But as
suredly the dreams of golden glory in
the future will not come true unless,
high of heart and strong of band, by
our own mighty deeds we make them
come true.
We cannot afford to develop any one
set of qualities, any one set of activi
ties, at the cost of seeing others equal
ly necessary atrophied. Neither the
military efficiency of the Mougol. the
extraordinary business ability, of the
Phoenician nor the subtle and polished
Intellect of the Greek availed to avert
destruction. (
What Wo Need.
We. the men of today and of the fu
ture, need many qualities If we are to
do our work well. We need, first of
all and most Important of all, the
qualities which stand at the base of
Individual, of family life, the funda
mental and essential qualities tbe
homely, everyday, all important vir
tues.:.. -' . - -
If the average man will not work, if
be bas not in him tbe will and power
to be a good husband and father. If
the average woman is not a good
housewife, a good mother of many
healthy children, then the state wlil
topple, will go down, no matter what
may be its brilliance of artistic de
velopment or material achievement.
Unjust war is to be abhorred, but
woe to the nation that does not make
ready to hold its own in time of need
against ail who would barm it. and
woe thrice over to the nation in which
the average man loses the fighting
edge, loses the power to serve as a
soldier If the day of need should arise
The Dream of Civilization.
It is no impossible dream to buil!
up a civilization in which morality
ethical development and a true feeling
of brotherhood shall all alike be di
vorced from false sentimentality and
from the rancorous and evil passions
which, curiously enough, so often sic
company professions of sentimental at
tachment to the rights of . man. in
which a high material development Su
the things of the body shall be achieved
without subordination of the things
of the soul, in which there shall be a
genuine desire for peace and Justice
without loss of those virile qualities
without which no love of peace or
Justice shall avail any race, in which
the fullest development of, scientific
research, the great distinguishing fea
ture of our present civilization, shall
yet not imply a belief that iutellect
can ever take the place of character,
for from the standpoint of the nation
as of the Individual it Is character that
is the one vital possession.
1 Finally, this world movement of
civilization, this movement which Is
now felt throbbing in every corner of
the globe, should bind the iiatioux ot
the world together vhlle yet leaving

No matter how many setbacks come,
keep repeating to yourself optimistic

the most forceful Instruments of sug

utilize the law of repetition to draw
from your surroundings beneficial sug
gestions that will powerfully re-enforce
your autosuggestions. Vou can
do so because every detail In your en

OUT OF THE CITY ATTENDED
THE FUNERAL BODY LAY IN
STATE TWO HOURS.
-This afternoon the body of Earl-i
ham's "Grand Old Man." the Rev. Al
len Jay, was laid at rest in Earlham
cemetery. The funeral was one of the:
largest ever , held in this city, many j
Friends from various parts of the'
country attending. The body lay In
state from jiooa until 2 o'clock at tlie
East Main Street Friends church. At
2 o'clock funeral services were con
ducted ; by President R, L. Kelly of
Earlham college and Prof. Elbert Rus
sell, The following acted as pallbear
ers; E. G. Hill, Prof. Charles. John
Johnson, Fred Charles, Leander Wood
ard and Prof. Woodard. .
The Ministerial association, of
which the Rev. Jay was an active
member, today adopted the following
resolutions:
The Ministerial association of Rich
mond bears today an unusual loss. Al
len Jay. its oldest and one of its most
honored members has been called
home. In sorrow and submission we
bow to the will of Our Ffither and his.
A prince and a great man has fal
len. Allen Jay walked with God and
became mighty because he prepared
hia i ways before the Lord. More than
of most men it can be said of him.
He went about continually doing good.
He walked by the Inner Light and
was highly favored of God. Hi s name
belongs in the list of, the heroes of
faith' and is written in the Lamb's
book of Life. "
He knew whom he believed." Intel
lectually he . was hospitable to every
new thought but he tried them ail by
the test of the truth as it is in Jesus.
He was not ashamed of the Gospel of
Christ, for in his conviction it alone
was the uower of God unto salvation.
He believed the great need of man to
be regeneration and that reformation
of life is related to regeneration as
the fruit to the tree. A devoted lover
and most efficient servant of his own
church, his broad and intelligent sym
pathy made him the true and helpful
friend of all churches.
It was truely fitting that bis last
days should have been spent at a
great Missionary conference for the
evangelization of the world.
? He was wise in counsel ' with the
wisdom that : is from above, pure,
peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreat
ed, full of mercy and good fruits with
out partiality, and without hypocrisy.
His heart seemed ever open to the
touch of God and his spirit ever listen-
Specially Wen To Se M
Lee IBo . FJimsnDsiQiimm,
tog to tbe still small voice. His aim
plicity and humility were beautiful to
see. Almost ? fourscore, we never
thought of him as old for his was tbe
eternal youth of the spirit.
Our deep sympathy goes out to the
Society of Friends In all lands, to Earl
bam college which has lost a noble
friend and spiritual father and espec
ially to bis loved ones at home so sore
ly bereaved. By tbe love of our own
hearts for him we measure the sorrow
of theirs, and pray for them the com
fort wherewith we ourselves are com
forted of God. i
He has fought a good fight, be bas
finished his course he bas kept the
faith, henceforth he wears the crown
of righteousness. -', :- .v . : .V:':,,,"; --V'p
Resolved. That this expression of
regard tor our beloved brother be sent
to his family and to the Press ot this
city.
Those who attended the funeral
from other cities were M. M, White,
of Cincinnati; Levi Mills, Blooming

A PURE MIND.
It is an argument of a candid,
ingenuous mind to delight . in the
good name and commendations of
others, to pass by their defects and
take notice of their virtues and to
speak or hear willingly of the latter,
for in this, indeed, you may be tit
tle less guilty than the evil zpeaker
in taking pleasure in evil, though
you speak it not. Leighlon.
