NEW PASTOR HEARD BY LARGE NUMBER ? Itev. , George Stanley Frazier Speaks of "Double View Of Prosperity" ' Large congregations gathered" at the ' .Fifth " Avenue Methodist church yes , terday, where Rev. Geqrge Stanley iFrazer; recently appointed pastor, '. preached at both the morning and ; evening service. At the morning serv ice Mr. Frazer preached on the sub ; . ., Ject, "A Double View of Prosperity," ; the minister pointing out .the real ,u meaning in a prosperous new year. He , ' dealt with the laws of spiritual Drooor- lit.-; -'tion in which he showed that real pros-iOii-V;;Peflty ' is to be measured and condi- it f i4 tloned upon soul prosperity, or there can be no real prosperity of any sort. B;i- Xie snowea mat oy as much as indi- viauais and nations observe the higher "' laws of righteousness, do they become ; ,the possessors and inheritors of that v; wealth that moth and rust cannot cor rupt. He pointed to success in busi ; ness and good health as the primary, ; elements in temporal prosperity, show ing: that Christianity is in entire .'sympathy with every form of legiti . mate business, that no man can di- vorce his business from his religion, but that a man's business is his op portunity to show the stuff of which we are made and crown us with im perial-self-mastery. He ajso dwelt on the contribution to the world's work made by those who walk and work amid the fiery furnaces of pain and suffering, illustrating the theme' by the lives of Bernard of Claivaux. Richard Baxter, Athanasius, Shaftesbury, and others. .In concluding his appeal for a greater prosperity of soul, Mr Fra- zer urged his hearers that , as the days come and go, and whether it be their IMMIGRATION TIDE ALTERS COMPLEXION Y Darker Hue Than Formerly Pre vailed Now Noted By , Federal Observers til- mi 111- -'A . ; ii-' WASHINGTON. Jan. 2. African ne groes made up about seven times as large a part of the stream of immi grants that flowed into America dur ing the fiscal year of 1919 as they did in 1913. Mexicans tired of revolution swelled the proportion of their race in the stream to about 18 times what it was before the war. These striking facts, it 'should be remembered," are based on proportional figures. The total immigration in 1913 was over 1,000,000, while iii the fiscal year of 1919 it was only about 140,000. In other words, we were then receiv ing nearly' eight times as many immi grants as we did during 1919. But it is the proportional change of the vari ous races that is significant. Many scientists reerard the question of rarie as the one of paramount im portance in the effect that Immigration has on the future of the country. Poli ticians, on the other hand, uniformly dodge the race issue because of its delicacy. Only on the Pacific coast, where Japanese immigration has be come a burning issue, is any attempt made to face the racial factor. It is interesting to note that nearly as many Japanese entered the United States in, 1919 as in 1913, which means that they were about nine times as large a per centage of the total immigration last year as there were before the war. Certainly racial snobbishness is not to be tolerated. The theory of the essential superiority of the blonde races over the dark ones, for example, has been vigorously upheld by some an- lot'to walk lonely Gethsemanes of trial I tropologists; but it has now fallen into or tread Alpine summits of joy, to trust themselves to the leadership of Christ . and to realize that all men are neither ith,e creatures of a day or a year, but rather do they belong to that God in whose keeping the eternities rest, and " who shall -lift' his children above the years into the timeless glory 6f the unchanging God. ii ' o oujcwt. . at. cue evening I-!! limit" w9 9 i "Pnet nt tKo Prnlnt-o ' j in which he linked the scene where ffri'V David longed for the drink of water ;. from the old well by the gate of Beth im lehem. and the scene where Mary broke f ff the alabaster box "of ointment at the jjT feet of Christ. The sermon dealt with Ml those unpurchaseable and imperishable things which give to life its enduring I If 'values-. The minister spoke of the price i 'of truth, the blessings which are ours P liberty, i law, domestic love, art, uU science, religion the great ideals of our republic, the high truths of faith, the books we read, the pictures that look down from the walls, of the .cost in suffering and pain of the small est things. He pointed to the betrayal of Judas as "the- roar of the market sweeping into the sanctuary of worshipping love," of the protest of Judas at the waste of the ointment as the "voice of the cynic, one who knows the price of everything and the value of nothine." He showed how the best things in life'' are Beyond the powers of numbers to 1 compute,- that no man could buv a f. poem, that true poetry is the unpur- chaseable gift of God to his soul. He said that men can not buy a home. J - They .may purchase a lot and build a I house, but the things that humanize a house and make it a home cannot be bought and paid for.

It is generally recognized that the dark Mediterranean people, for example, have certain racial traits which the blonde Nordic strain lacks. Likewise, the usefulness of any given man to his adopted country does not depend primarily on his race. A negro may become a valuable citizen and a Swede may be a rosue. But it cannot be 'denied that a thousand extra Swede are' to be preferred to a thousand extra negroes. It is. hard to contemplate with equanimity a deluge of negroes, Mexicans and Japanese; yet that is what we have been receiving during the year 1919. Grrat Chang- The whole make-up of the immigra tion stream has been radically altered. As is generally well known, American immigration was made up for many years of .Englishmen, Welshmen, Irish men, Germans and Scandinavians. These inmigrants made up the America which was until 1890. Then the South Italians and the East Europeans began pouring in, while the influx of North and West European races fell off. Nov allHs changed. With the growth of Japanese, negro and Mexican immi gration as new factors, the East and South European immigration has great ly declined. The proportion of South Italians, for example, was only about a tenth in 1919 wJiat it was In 1913, and the proportion of Hebrew, Magyar, Russian. Slovak, Rumanian, Syrian and Turkish immigrants has also de clined enormously. At the same time, the proportion of Englishmen, Scotch men and Frenchmen who came to this country in 1919 each increased to about four times what it was in 1913. This is the encouraging feature of the immigration outlook that French men and Englishmen are seeking the home of their late allies in ever-in-. creasing numbers. Of course, the character of post war immigration is still in the making. The influx of aliens is much greater today than.it was In 1919, threatening to reach pre-war proportions. Also it is different to some extent in char acter. Thus the recent Polish vie bade is said to have sent a horde of Poles in this direction, while in 1919 com paratively few of them arrived. But the important fact is that the character of immigration has radically altered. The old immigration problem has be come a new one. Intelligent legislation on the subject should be based on a complete new survey of the facts. It is obvious of course that nothing lis more important to this country than the way in which immigration Is, being regulated. The whole eastern half of the United States is .simply a complex mass of the humanity ;whlch , we have chosen tor' import from abroad. We have a . republic, which is . based upon the assumption that u the 'individual voter has Intelligence and good judg ment. The character of Immigration is therefore everything. If we admit hordes of aliens who have not the in telligence to grasp the idea iof Democ racy, and if we neglect to teach them even the language of their new country, we can scarcely hope for that kitel-f ligent body of public opinion which is the only hope of sufccess for a demo cratic government. Undoubtedly during? the first 12 or 13 years of this century we did admit a horde of aliens who were of a low type, both racially and culturally, and we did allow them to collect in great masses of undiluted foreignness, speak ing foreign languages, reading foreign papers, following foreign customs. The war checked this inflow of In digestible humanity. Now it ' has started again. What are we going to do about it? r ' r- The trouble . Is that our immigration legislation, like that on so many other subjects, is based, not on scientific study of the facts, but on a compromise between various conflicting interests. Perhaps the intelligent way to solve the prol$em would be to appoint a com mission of the highest scientific char acter to study the question and frame legislation. We had an elaborate. con gressional investigation of the subject once, and it reached the astonishing conclusion that it did not matter much What type of man Was admitted, be cause as soon as he began to breathe the free and puissant "air of America, he became an American, even the shape of his head changing! Legislation based on such conclusions as that will not help much. Neither do the conclusions have much to do with the legislation. Labor wants im migration restricted, because immigra tion means cheap competition for labor. The eastern manufacturing interests want immigration unrestricted, for the same reason. The far west wants im migration restricted in any way that will keep the orientals out, and the west in general is in favor of keeping America for Americans.
