D., of Nantl coke, Gave- n Most Eloquent Ad dress Before a Large Audience. The American Flag in tho Islands of tho Pacific Stands for Liberty nnd Justice to All Lawn Social to Bo Given Tonight on Elm Street. Complaints About Noisy Boys. The first lecture of the People's Lec ture Course, under the auspices of tho Brotherhood of St. Paul, was given last evening In tho auditorium of tho Cedar Avenue Methodist chprch by Rev. J. Brndshaw, Ph. D., of Nantl coke, on "American Patriotism." Tho Rev. Mr. Bradshaw has a pleasing ad dress and spoke on this subject In n very novel manner. Among other things ho said: "Tho word patriotism is derived from 'pater, meaning father. Hence patri otism, 'Love of Fatherland.' What Is It that produces ore makes patriotism? What Is it that combines persons, heart and lives and produces noble emotions? Mnny things tend or com bine to do this. The country Itself, the protection offered, the right and power to govern and the Interest in tho home. "Patriotism differs widely. It differs as to the character of tho nation. What produced Spartan character ' but Spartan patriotism? What produces tho sturdy character ot the Norseman but patriotism? Rugged rocks, wild elements, dashing seas formed their rude, yet solid, character, which uas tho basis of their patriot ism. "Patriotism must bo stronger than granite, more enduring than tho rocks themselves, for when patriotism Is on tho wane, public spirit droops and pun He enterprise falls. It must also be tho twin sister ot religion, a life not of dress parades, of Fourth of July cele bration, but a deeper power manifest ed In times of national peril, whether from outside aggression or internal revolution. It is of divine origin, for it emanates from that which Is holy and all powerful." Tho speaker then described minutely patriotism in France, Germany and England, and also paid :i beautiful tribute to the wives and mothers of tho United States, "under whose careful and prayerful guidance patriotism Is reared, nurtured and blessed." He also eulogize'd Helen Gould and other wo men, whoso patriotism acts, lives aim Is generously felt under all adverse conditions. In Ills closing remarks ho touched upon the immigration ques tion and Ills peroration was magnifi cent. "The north, the south, the east and west," said he, "are now Imbued with the same lovo of country that char acterized the stubborn resistance bj our fatherr tn an attempt to destroy the union. The Hag of the south pro tects and cares for the interests that It guards In tho north. The Hag of the north shelters and offers protection to tho interests of the west. Westward it goes ever on. Wo see it unfurling on the Pacific ocean; its folds are Happed by tho gentle breezes of the Oceanic, and wherever it goes it stays, with light, liberty and justice lo all. Very Noisy Boys. Complaint lias again been entered by the residents of this section against the actions of a gang of boys who nightly congregate at the corner of Cherry street and Cedar avenue, and who not only disturb the residents of that sec tion, but persist In making such a racket that services in the Cedar Ave nue .Methodist chur li are Interrupted, It being practically Impossible to con tinue them. It was this way last even ing during the lecture by Rev. Brad shaw, the din and noise outsldo being of such volume that the boys had to be chased away In order to go ahead with the lecture. The racket has not only been put up with during the week, but Sunday evenings it is said to bo even worse, foot ball and other games being the source of annoyance. It would be well to have this matter brought to tho at tention of the mayor, that tho nuis ance might be abated. Lawn Social Tonight. Tho Young People's society of tho Cedar Avenue Christ Lutheran church will hold a lawn social this evening on tho spacious lawn of William Bleachert, 034 Elm street.
