M. C. A. Dr. Myers' theme also, was Popl lar, *being: "Unel Sam's Mark on the World."-.e said among other things: When I was asked to come her( and tell yop something of my recen. tour aroup the world it seemed ,a InipossibIty, there was so mueli tc be s C Where shall a man begin oi en . Well, we crossed this conti n t, which is in itself enough foi 0 tour for any man; we visited the 'alian Islands, touched at th lippines, saw China, Janan, th lay Islands, Burmiah. Inia. Coy Yon; then through the Red Sea, past Arabi, to Egypt, to Palestine for th second time, across the Mediter rahean, through Europe and Great Britain and finally home to America --God's own cotuntry! The one thing that we noticed everywhere in the world was that there has been a tremendous amoun.t of rogress and that the progress of civilization has been greater in the last ten years than in the hundred Years previous; and that the greatest element in this world-wide progress s the influence of American institu R an deas. The eyes of the le are turnel to the Amer R the world's purest and acy. The civilized th are interested in here, and they are t have the same we must know Ame'rican dem'oc pply them to our years Japan has ed the princinles cgovernment, and Cfiina ned and is demanding the n of democracy, and God ,vs what is going to take ere The Empress of China is she Is, for, *k 3ble woman, h Catharine leth of Eng. her policies - 'i blows to nent which -a past.

WVhen we were com- hi ing through the Mediterranean, we hi met one of those ignorant fellows onn our ship who "know it all" and are ti const antly displaying their ignorance- in and he said to me: "Have you see t that pic.ture back of you on the wall .an Well," he continued. "that is th es qi greatest and finest clubhouse in t a world!" His mother told him to ,iu. t tii keep still, but he went on .talkin . n about it, showing his ignorance, ti l? n his mother informed him that it w s le a picture of' the home of the Pres -- 0 dent of the United Sta.tes; then I h d D my turn and J said to thenm: "Yi s, tc t.hat's right! That's the biggest clh b- hi house in the world; that's the ho no T of the 'Big Stick.' " That "big stic k" d: has had a wholesome. influence o er os the entire civilized world! t My friends, the one great m rk G that Uncle Sam has put on this w Id d; and all around the planet is the p in- ti ciple of indiv).dual responsibi ity.

To tl the citizens of this country of ours, al Uncle Sam says: "You are ci izen-- ti kings; you have a crown, we r it; B you have a throne, climb up n it; c~ your ha,ve a scepter, wield it you q1 bave an individual respolbilL , use " It!"
