. L Bryce’s Love for Washington |Suburban Heights. ~ Is Told in Memorial Service Secretary of State Hughes, John W. Davis, former ambassador to Greal Britain, and a gathering of dis- 4tinguished persons paid tribute to the memory -of the late Lord James Bryce of England, at commemorativc services held yesterday afternoon at the Church of the Covenant, under the auspices of the English Speaking Unlon. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Davis were the principal speakers and were introduced by Frederic A. Delano. president of the Washington branch of the union. Secretary Hughes' address follows: “It’is not for me to attempt a for- mal tribute, with even a Suggestion of adequa but rather briefly to speak the words which affection, ad- miration and esteem, as well as a i deep sense of personal and national obligation, will not permit me to withhold. ' It is fitting that we, who .have felt the charm of his personal- ““ity, should bring the grateful testi monials of friendship. But thi meeting has a far deeper significance, for we are cxpressing our indebted- ness to one who, of all those not of our citizenship, was the best friend of the American people. and not only hat, but the most sympathetic and fntelligent interpreter of democracy itself. “A Perfect Life" “At this time, in the midst of tur- moil_and forcboding, we pause o contemplate the rare beauty of what, %o faras human limitations permit. may be regarded as a perfect 1if Whether we consider its physical, “ tellectual or spiritual quality, we could find hardly the slightest flaw.

His intellec- tual power was not enlisted in un- worthy causes or devoted to any ig- roble use. With him knowledge was not simply power, but power with consclous ~ responsibility—power to comprehend, to inform, to improve. to inspire—the instrument of an abiding faith, of an Inextinguishable ardor to help humanity to realize its hope. James Bryce was richly endowed, but ke gave as he was blessed, and his ten talents were all employed for his fellow men. Active in Many Flel “We are fascinated by the wide range of his activities. As Lord Bal- four put it, he was scholar, traveler, historfan, politician and diplomat; in all these spheres he was a master, and each sphere affected the others. As a scholar he was exact, with a passion for accurate knowledge. He had an insatiable ntellectual curi- osity, which controled him quite as completely at elghty as at twenty. The swift current of his interest never slackened. His Jove of nature was manifested in the most thorough study of her various forms, and wher- ever he was he sought the most inti- mate knowledge of his environment. He lived among us in his later years, but you can count upon your fingers those who have ever known Washing- ton and the neighboring hills so well. He had a loving intimacy with ali the winding footpaths of our park. He knew our birds, our trees, our flowers, and he had the same interest and facility in every part of the globe to which his wide travels led him. He was a historian and dealt with hosts of dry facts, but you will search literature in vain to find a more ex- dquisite description than he has given of the marvelous natural setting of Rio de Janeiro. “His intellectual ardor was not vasted in vain accumulations, in the re excitement of endeavor with- out a sense of values. The chief in- terest of his life, transcending all clse, which dominated all his ef- forts and gave point to every activity, was his interest in the development of human institutions. He was a historian not because he was satis- fied simply to discover, to arrange, to tabulate, to chronicle, but because he was profoundly engrossed in man's progress, man’'s social experiments, political endeavors, in the onward march of Demos. “It was for this reason that he de- voted himself to the most thorough. critical study of our institutions and that he was best cualified to make report of our virtues, our faults, our Successes, our failures, our aspira- tions and ideals. ‘I count him a great man,’ said Emerson, ‘who in- habits a higher sphere of thought into which other men rise with labor and difficulty. He has but to open Lis eves to see things in a true light and in large relations.’ Interpreter of Democracy. “James Bryce had the experience and learning which gave perspec- tive. He had the keen insight which penetrated to the springs of our ional life. He never tired of the st_endeavor to comprehend. He critical. but not censorious, and his admonition never savored of hos- tility or cynicism. He was always sympathetic and thus did not fail of me our men- if today any large propor- tion of the students in ous schools know the actual working of our in. stitutions they are indebted more to James Bryce than any one who has lived among us. “But his interest in the American commonwealth was only a phase of his broad interest in the resistless | cratic impulse. ~ He passed to the | severe task of the comparative study i of @emocratic institutions, giving us the fruit of his long-continued and unremitting industry, of his wisdom jand calm reflection in his “Modern { Democracy.” He blinked nothing which was discouraging. He did not minimize difficulties, but he recorded with fidelity. He was the best in- terpreter of democracy because of his qualities of heart as well as of intellect, and because with seeing ieye he kept the faith. He gave us the comprehension of a noble mind. “It is this sort of effort which gives promise of better international under- standing. It is not in complimentary speeches, in amiable professions or in the superficialities of polite intercourse that we find_the assurance of mutual helpfulness. Tt is rather to be found in the dissipation of prejudices. in the penetration to the heart of difficulties, in the desire to know the actual con ditions of human lives, in the apprecia- tion of the struggle of the human spirit in_differing_enyironments toward the common goal, in the deep sympathy with every human effort at improvement and in the recognition of the equipment | and opportunity which we enjoy as the result of the labors of our forerunners {of every race and clime. “We were so long resentful of being misunderstood that in the midst of recognized achievement we are not suffi- ciently mindful of the duty and privi- | lege_of understanding others. Let us climb to the hilltops with the friend of democracy; let us have keen vision with |'a broad horizon: let us be insatlable in the desire to know, in order that we may work together: let us be passionate | Why? | Why do you hesitate about buy- || ingausedcar?
