The Unitizing of the World

The Rev. John H. Barrows, the newly-elected president of Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, received a large company in the Plymouth Congregational Church, Toledo, Ohio, recently and delivered an address on "Greater America."

Dr. Barrows was president of the World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago, and since then has travelled and lectured in eastern countries.A correction was made in the April 20, 1899 Sentinel: "In the Sentinel of March 30, in the article entitled 'The Unitizing of the World,' Rev. John H. Barrows, D.D., was referred to as president of the World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago. This was an error. We all remember distinctly that the Hon. C. C. Bonney, whose eloquent address on that occasion we have all read, we the president of the Religious Parliament. Dr. Barrows was chairman of the general committee on Religious Congresses" In the course of his remarks this evening he said:

"I believe that Manila and Santiago are names that will rank in history with almost any of the greater battles of the past. Ours was a war for humanity, which the greater statesmen for fifty years felt was inevitable. In our complacent prosperity we give little heed—that, most of us—to the hapless condition of the oppressed at our very doors.
