James, the President. THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. Goed That Has Resulted From Their Es- tablishment — Other Interesting Speeches Made by Ladies Interested in Different Branches of Mission Work in Various Sec- tions of the Country. ‘The afternoon session of theannual meeting of the woman's executive committee of the home missions of the Presbyterian Church, held in the Chureh of the Covenant, was opened promptly at 2 o'clock, the attendance being equally as large as it was during the morning, with the | singing of the hymn ‘Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord | God Almighty,” accompanied by ‘the reading | cf the responses from the Psalms, Mrs. James | reading the first lines. ‘The responses and thi | singing were joined in by every one present | without exception. The congregational sing- | ing. led by a choir. was one of the most pleas- | ant features of the exercises. Mrs. G. D. Norcross of Pennsylvania led | the assemblage in a thanking the Lord | for the blessings which Lave been poured forth for the ignorant, and beseeching that He place in the breasts and hearts of many the desire to go forth and Inbor in His name. TE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL ADDAESS. At the conclusion of the prayer, “Jesus, Gracious Savior, Bend,” was sung before Mrs. D. RK. James, the president of the committeo delivered her an- address. “The welcome which | was given this morning,” she said, ‘can | only be appreciated by those who have enjoyed the hospitality of the citizens. The synod of Washington was one of the first in the country, @ if all the branches were as prom cd Nberal in their subscriptions ax were Waeh ingtonians the teachers would not be obliged to wait for their salaries, This knowledge will increase our enjoyment of the hospitality of the ladies of Washington, whom to know is to love. Mrs. James related her visit to one of the schools, after a visit to which one could not help but thank God for the agency which made these schools possible. ‘The industrial board- ing schools were often on the outskirts of civilization, where the hfe was monotonous and dreary, and it would seem that the true test of patience was to be a faithful teacher for Years at one of these institutions. THE SUBLIME WORK BEING DONE. The sublime work which the organization was doing was worthy of the greatest efforts that could be given to it To devote a little time from society was not sufficie but members — should deny themselves whatever the Lord might demand of them to accomplish the work which has been mapped out for them, taking up their burden with a valiant heart.” Is it ible to unduly magnify our office? If to save the world we must first save America, to save Ainerica the women of our churches must press forward toa consecration hitherto un- realized of everything that prevents our seek- ing first the kingdom of God and His righteous- ness, AMERICA FOR CHRIST. The result of ihe victory, “America for Christ,” will be so sublime in its far-reaching “Then let us resolve,” she said, “this year to withhold from our Lord nothing that will hinder faithful service in this cause. Let us piedge Him supreme and joyful acceptance of any kind of work He may call us to undertake.” ‘The address closed as follows: “If we follow Him it matters not whether in the midst of thronging crowds or in lonely vigil, in the crowded city or in some desert place, the great highway or the quiet by-paths’ of life, seldom will it be with the great oi this world; but whether im honor or dishonor, in evil report or good report, how little will it signify to us if we but hear His voice saying ‘This is the way,’ and guided by the Holy Spirit, which God hath given to them who obey Him’ take up the service before us with valiaut hearts.” OTHER INTERESTING ADDRESSES. After the singing of » hymn, the words of which Mrs. James had composed, Mra. D. E. Fink, the editor of the Home Missions Monthly, spoke on the good accomplished by the magazine and the rapid increase of its circulation. She suggested that a secretary of literature be appointed in each branch of the organization. iss E. N. Wishard of Indiana spoke on “Our Young People.” “Tne problem.” she n, “of how the young people of our churches should help” in ‘the work of the church seems about solved in the organization of the Christian Endeavor, the swift development of which almost exceeded our comprehension. It isa patdonable pride that the Presbyterian .Chureh can say that it leads in this step. The organization lives for and in the local church, and outside of it there is nothing. “The work of the Christian Endeavor has so much allied itself with mission work that the word ‘mission’ had become the watchword of the society. Young peovle grasp with youthful enthusiasm the intentiong of the society and push them to successful completion. The movement is still in the formative period, but careful training is certain to bring about bene- ficial results. It will not be from a lack of ability, but want of proper development that the efforts of the young people of the Presby- terian Church are aot turned into beneficial channels.”” ‘The rendition of a soprano solo by Mrs. J. A. Yale of Illinois was one of the enjoyable por- tions of the afternoon's program. Mrs. L. A. Davis of Kansas drew a picture of log cabin in the back woods of North Car- olina, and the mode of living, and the lack of education of ite occupants. She also spoke of the influx of ignorant and immoral cizsses of immigrants coming to this country and taking up their abode in our large cities, and throwing out their evil intnences to be followed by our neglected children. Mrs. James then an- nced ‘An bour with our missionaries.” AX ELOQUENT COLORED wox. ‘Mrs, Davis was followed by Miss Lucy Laney, a young colored woman, who spoke with edu- cation and even eloquence... From Georgia and from the negroes of that state she brought a greeting for the great work which the Presbyterian Church bad accomplished.

Her story, she said.would not be a mournfal one, as that side of the question nad been the subject of writings for a long time past, She would | rather picture the brighter side and speak of | the progress of the colored people in Georgia during the past twenty-five years. The edu- cation of the colored people of her state was not a matter of sentiment, but one of concen- | tratedlabor. A.schooiwas established. It took no second invitation to bring the colored peo- | ple to the institution, for, as had been said this morning, the colored race is determined to have education. From that beginning we have 2,500 negro children educated in these mission ary schools and 1,400 students, Does this not pax? These scholars go out in other districts and teach what they have learned. The solu- tion of the problem Jay in the education of the negro race. ‘They aid themselves and | they are willing to learn. These | negroes help one another. It is very seldom that one sees a colored tramp. They had made mistakes, but what race, after two hun- dred and fifty years of serfdom and centuries of beathenism in Africa, could do better? With only twenty-five years of freedom in name. with every obstacle and prejudice confronting them, the only wonder was that the negro had not made greater mistakes. The speech of Miss Laney was the first one during the day's session which brought forth pplause. It was an address which left ite | undoubted impression. : EXPERIENCES IN UTAH. ‘Miss Quillen, one of the teachers of the mis- | | sions in Utah, told how, through rough and | dangerous experiences, the first pioneers had | reached the territory. Later crowds of emi- | grants had started there, lured by the promise | ofa land of milk and honey, but which they | found to bea barren desert. Many would have returned home, but without money, which the chureh held, they were stranded. ‘The Mormons were erving for the admission of their territory as a state of the Union, while the Christians were fearing this catastrophe, for the Mormons are the enemies of Christiat For they hope to establish u government of | | their own, and, while it har been circulated | that the Mormons no longer practice polygamy, | the truth is that this life has not been abro- ated in the least, and, with a 20,000 Mormon | jority. that class would control the state | ws. Miss Quillen has been absent from Utah | for several months, and, in order that the meet- | ing shouid have the latest news from that terri- | | tory, the read several letters from missionnries | there in answer to some which she had written, FROM FAN-OFF ALASKA. Mrs. J. C. De Vore, one of the teachers in the schools in Alaska, gave one of the brightest speeches of the afternoon. The map which was spread across the organ did not contain Alaska, and consequently Mrs. De Vore said that she considered herself not a man, but a woman without a country, and had brought with her a map of her country made by one of the boys in her school. This she opened on the pulpit. ‘The Alaskans always wear bright colors, for it is so gloomy there, The history of the’ natives had beeu an outrageousone under the Russians, for they had been cheated and robbed. The | Alaskans knew they were being cheated for no boy who could in one year's teaching draw a map such as the one she exposed could be | dumb and ignorant not to appreciate what was | being done with them. The result of th treatment was the massacre of the Russians ai Sitka and other settlements. In an eloquent manner Mrs. Do Vore told of the history of the race and their desire of iberty which God implanted in_ tke Alaskan’s Dreast. In closing she advocated the admission f Alaska into the Union. “For,” she said, “you admit every one else and those who are even worse thi . They are the most grateful people inthe word und are admirers of the Americen flag and_know that it protects them, Give me pienty of teachers and inten The closing address of the afternoon was made by Miss Florence Stephenson, one of the teachers of the school at Asheville, N.C. The work in her section was often hindered by the return to these people of the publications which | are entitled “The Poor Whites’ and the “Moan- | tain Whites. ‘The return of one of her reports to the committee under the bead “Poor Whites” had so incensed some of the people about the school that it was with difficulty that amicable relations were restored. Miss Stephen- son suggested that this class of Americans be designated as ‘mountain people.” Many of the publications about thisclass of persons ware thoroughly incorrect and stirred up the people and prejudiced them against the missionaries, An article recently published in the Baltimoro Sun was the subject of an attack from the speaker on account of its inaccuracies and mis- statements. Every year 500 children were turned away from the school because of the lack of accommodations. The benefits which this class was receiving from the missionaries has impressed her and filled ter with a desire todo more. At one time the speaker had attended a mass meeting which was Very interesting on account of the ernest- ness shown in the subject, although the gram- mar used on the occasion was not exactly of the best. Miss Stephenson told several experiences to illustrate the great need for day achools in that section of the country to save the young girls from going down the wrong path. The masses of the young of the state are uneducated, and even #0 much 0 thi | the necessity for their educatjon. | The afternoon session was closed with the singing of the Doxology. When the meeting adjourned most of those in the audience started tor the White House to | attend the reception given by the President and | Mrs. Cleveland to the delegates, 2 aR EDUCATING THE INDIANS. This Subject Discussed at Laat Night's Meet- ing of the Woman's Home Mission: Another large assemblage, the majority of | whom were ladies, gathered at the Church of | the Covenant last night to listen to addresses | on the subject of home mission, delivered by | those who are active workers in this good cause. The exercises were opened by the invocation of the divine blessing by Dr. Teunis S. Ham- lin, after which Mrs. Gardner sang a solo. At! | the conclusion of the musical selection Dr. | Hamlin introduced Dr. Roberts, the senior sec- retary of the home missions, who called tho meeting to order. ‘The Rev, Dr. George Alexander of Now York read from the sixty-first chapter of Asaiah’ be- tore offering a ferrent prayer. DR. M'APEE’S ADDRESS. Dr. Roberts said that it was not his purpose to make an address, as it would necessarily sasor of the office which he held. He was glad that they bad present some men who were fresh from the fields of labor who could speak from personal knowledge of the excellent benefits that the missions were able to dispense. In this manner he introduced the superintendent of schools, Dr. McAfee, who addressed the after- noon sessions of the executive committee, Speaking of the education of the Indian he said that he would not arraign the government.us he was too near the seat of it, but he wouid say that of all races they have had many trials and tribulations, and the position which should be | accorded him as a man was not his. When would the public learn to treat the Indian as a | human? ‘There was no longerany question as to | whether the Indian could be educated. ‘That | had been proven in the aftirmative. The educa- | tion should begin with the public and govern- | | | | ment to teach them to appreciate thy place which should be aliowed the Indian, When this | Was accomplished, the latter would show | themrelves capable of bemg true and Christia citizens. It was the sinful and inaccurate | statement that the mor an Indian was | the more heathenish be became that had fered most with the progress + nisl work. All that was needed to make atrue Christian was the teache themselves to their education. The who are now in the schools are to be the leaders | of their race. The success cf the government schools was iue to tho devoted service of those | self-sacrificing missionaries who first created in | the Indians a thirst for knowledge. He had | nothing but praise to offer for the government | | schools. ‘They were accomplishing a great and glorious work. ‘They taught evervthing but Christianity,and that daty devolves on tue mis- sionaries. REY. DR. KIRKWOOD. ‘The Rev. Dr. Kirkwood of Colorado Springs, a robust, fine-looking gentleman, was intro- duced to speak of his personal knowledge of we found the people of they were uncivilized | and totally ignorant of Christianity.” He re- lated several stories of natives of that section who im July would be ordained ministers through the agencies of the home missions, At the close of Dr. Kirkwood’s remarks the assemblage joined in singing a hymn.

DUNCAY. they did not see or feel | * tain districts of some of the southern states, in- eluding West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Aln- bama and ‘Tennessee, comprising a territorr a8 great as that of Pennsylvania and Ohio com- bined and’ consisting of 3,000,000 of people. ‘These people, though poor, were proud and in- dependent in their character and were not to be approached with invidious terms. He eug- gested us @ name for this class the Scotch-Irish mountaineers—not mountain whites, us this contrasted them with the negro. Never having had their natures curbed, feuds and family quarrels for most trivial causes were numerous and nearly depopulated the male portion of the class, Their characters, though degraded, were teachable, for they are neither infidels nor ag- nostics. ‘The hope for the redemption of this people lay in the mission schools, which reached fhe young and growing members of ‘these fam- ies, At some length the speaker related the con- ditions surrounding and the benefits accom- plished by the achool at Huntsville, Tenn. In closing his remarks he mado an earn to give this class of people a chance. REY. DB. SAVAGE. The other class among which the home mis- sion works is the negro, and what has been ac- complished there was related by the Rev. Dr. Savage, the colored principal of the Aldine Academy of South Carolina. ‘The progress among these people was on the same lines as those set down by the other speakers, except that he believed the negro bad made a much greater advance than the others, remarks were closely in accord with those of Miss Laney, who spoke in the afternoon. A. collection was taken up at the close of this address and after joining in singing “My Country, "Tis of Thee.” the meeting was adjourned. ; a SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK. A Popular Meeting Last Evening in the In- terests of This Important Cause. Drawn across the front of the pulpit platform of the New York Avenue Church last evening alarge map of the outline map of the United States, thickly dotted over with stars, As was subsequently explained by Dr. James A. Werden, the secretary of the Sunday school work of the board of publications, the stars represented centers where Sabbath schools had been established by the missionaries of the | boards. Dr. Werden is an interesting talker, as every one who is familiar with this phase of | M the work of the Presbyterian Church is aware. The graphic presentation of the wonderful work accomplished by the board as exhibited j on the map was supplemented by some facts and figures presented in Dr. Werden's graphic style. The audience. that filled the church had come together to hear about Sunday school work, and it was tho first of the popular meetings that will be held ig the evenings while the assembly is in session. The statistics presented showed that during the past four y been established by the board, and from these schools the organization of 238 churches had been traced. Dr. Worden apoke also of the difficulties in the way of the work and of the Rreat need of more money and more men to advanceit morerapidiy. ‘The need, he said, was great. The statistics show that there are in this country 22,000,000 of children of school age, and yet there are only 8,000,000 in Sunday schools of all denominations, More mimsters were needed to follow up the work of the board in establishing schools, A COLORED MINISTER'S TESTIMONY. Rey, Dr. Craven, tho secretary of the board, who had opened the meeting with reading the Scriptures and prayer, spoke briefly, and then Rev. Dr. Simons, the president of Biddle Uni- versity of North Carolina, gave his testimony ax to the importance of the Sunday school work in preparing the way for the organization of churehes in destitute localities. Dr. Simons is a colored man, but is evidently » man of cul- tivation, as well as of natural ability. His re- marks were brief, but were pointed, and evoked hearty applause, ' He illustrated the importance of getting a hold of the children by quoting a remark, which he said had been made by a Catholic priest, to the effect that if you pour water on a duck's back it will roll off, but if you pour iton the back of a gosling it will ‘sink in. The practical phasos of this work were described by Rev. Dr. Allen Ball of Winona, Minn... and Mr. Seltzler, the synodical mission aries of Minnesota, who have opportunities for seeing the work in actual operation. The last aker was Rev. Dr. Brooks of St. Louis, who spoke effectively of the great necessity for bringing good influences to bear on the rising generation. He emphasized tho danger arising from the spread of vicious literature and said that it must be counteracted. He paid # noble tribute to the power of the written page. A CHURCH FEDERATION. The Plan Reported to the General Assem- bly Yesterday. As stated in the assembly edition of Tar Sram yesterday, the committee on church unity reported on the subject of tho federation of churches and submitted the following as the plan between the several reformed churches holding the Presbyterian system: For the glory of God, and for the greater unity and advancement of the church of which the Lord Jesus Christ is the head, the following cles of constitution and federal union be- ween the reformed churches in the United States holding to the Presbyterian system are recommended for adoption: 1. Every denomination entering into this union shail retain its distinct individuality, as well as every power, jurisdiction and right, which is not by this constitution expressly dele~ gated to the body hereby constituted. 2. Fall faith and credit shall be given by all of these denominations to the acts, proceedings and records of the duly constituted authorities of the other denominations. 3, For the prosecution of work that can be better done in union than separately, an eccle- siastical assembly is hereby constituted, which shall be known by the name and style of the federal council of the Reformed churches in the United States of America holding to the | Presbyterian system. 4.

The federal counci! shall endeavor to pro- mote united work for the reclamation of the | Christless masses in the large cities, towns and old rural settlements of the country; co-opera- ‘on in home missionary work by the different denominations in tho new settlements and ameng the freedmen of tae south, in such » way as to remove denominational friction and prevent the multiplication of weak and antago- nistic organizations where unnecessary, and the prosecution of the foreign missionary ‘work by the different denominations on the same principle of comity,so that different denomina- tions shall cultivate particular fields. It shall also keep a watchful eye on current religions, moral and socinl movements, and take such action as may concentrate the influence of all the churches for the preservation of their religious inheritance and the maintenance of their fundamental principle. 6. ‘The federal council may advise and recom- mend in all matters pertaining to the general welfare of the Kingdom of Christ, but shali not exercixe authority, except such as is conferred upon it by this instrument, or such as may be conferred upon it by the federated bodies. It shall not interfere with the creed, worship or government of the denominations.

Members of the General Assembly Meet President and Mrs. Cleveland. One of the most delightful features in con- nection with the general assembly, and one that will long be remembered with the greatest pleasure by all the commissioners, was the re- ception tendered to the members of the as- sembly and their families by the President and Mrs. Cleveland yesterday afternoon from 4 to 6. ‘A general invitation had been extended to the assembly, and as it was understood that the Indies who were here with the commissioners would also be very welcome, the greatest inter- est was taken in the affuir. Directly after tho adjournment of the afternoon session the line of march was formed just outside of tho church and headed toward the White House. The members and their friends walked in doubie oclumn, and the line was so jong that at one time it’ reached almost from the Now York Avenue Church to the gate of the White House gxounds. First came the moderator and the @x-moderator of the assembly, with the other officers of the body, accompanied by the mem- bers of the local committee of arrangements, HANDSOME FLORAL DECORATIONS. Witbin the White House there was a pro- fasion of floral decorations and almost all of the apartments on theground floor were thrown open for the inspection of the guests of the | oceasion. ‘The President's father was himself a | Presbyterian minister, and thia fact gave a de- cided interest to the reception and was referred to by the moderator in his speech to the Presi- | dent and by Mr, Cleveland in his response. In the east room, where the assemblage was received, the furniture was arranged ina semi- circle about the doorway leading from the inner , through which the President and Mra. Cleveland entered, preceded by Col. John M. Wilson, U. 8. A..who made the introductions to eveland, after Dr. Willis Green Craig, the moderator, hud made the presentations to the President,’ Back of Mrs, Cleveland stood Mrs. John M. Wiinon, with the President's pas- tor, Rev. William Mer'e Smith, and wife of New York, why are at present the guests at the White House. The President and Mrs. Cleveland stood by the door that leads from the central corridor into the east room. ‘They each had a cordial | handshake for all that passed and frequently a few pleasant words to say as well, The east oom was filled beyond the point of comfort, ud a long line stood outside of the house while the first in line were being introduced and while the speech making was going on. moderator of the assembly, Dr. Willis Green Craig, was introduced to the President by Dr. Bartlett, and then, stepping back a few feet, made a formal address of some length on be- half of the assembly. He said: DR. CRAIG'S ADDRESS, Mr. President: We esteem it a very great kindness, sir, that you, a very busy man,should appoint atime when the members of this as- sembly might come and present to you their re- specta, We think of you very often, sir.

You know somewhat of the Presbyterian Church.

The thought is also in my mind that in the light of my official responsibilities and duties there is a propriety in to this home of the nation's chief execu- We profess to be still a Christian people. This means that no public officer of high or low degree should be anmindful of the re- straints of religious sentiment. It means that the religious teachings of our people should lend them to exact from those who make and execute their laws a recognition of these re- straints. It means that a religious sense, ap- proved by the people, should underlie the dis- charge of every official duty. It means that those who assume to be religious teachers are related in responsibility to those who hold pub- lic stations. You will, therefore, I trust, permit me to say that thongh you do well when you insist upon the conscientious discharge of every official daty, and though vou never should shrink from exposing offi ings, the contribu- tion you owe for the accomplishment of good government will not be fully made unless you teach the people, by precept and by example, that they will find their welfare and their safety in enforcing upon their public servants the ob- servance of the mandates of Christianity and morality.

It wasimpousible to determine this accurately, as,no printed lists were fur- nished and the commissioners will not be abie to see the names until Taz Stan comes cut this afternoon. However, as far as the three leading committees are concerned their mem- bership is pretty well known, A Stan reporter in talking this afternoon with a mem- ber of the assembly who is in sympathy with what is known as the party found that the composition of the committees gen- erally speaking are regarded as strongly con- servative. Of course the chairmanships of the two leading committees, that on bills and overtures and the judicial committee, are as- signed by custom to the retiring moderator and the defeated candidate for mod- This was followed by moderator, Rev, Dr. Craig. It is also said that the committee on theo- logical seminaries is a very “blue” one, as the term goes. On the judicial committee there is only one member, it is thought, who ie an out- and-out Briggs man. Tt may be said thut judging from the know!- edge of thecommittees which was obtained from hearing the names read that the or liberal party do not consider — that they have given an adequate representation, It is not claimed that the lib- eral party equals in number the conservative party, but at the same time the former holds that they have not been given a proportionate representation. in the general interchange of views that is constantly going on, especially in regard to the case of Dr. Briggs, it is eaid that the conserva- tives feel their strength,and there are indications that they are contemplating taking decisive action in the Briggs case. The ids of Dr, Briggs are ‘aware of this feeling, and while they — rec ite extat- ence as well as the fact that numerically they may be outnumbered, vet they know that there are members of Tocognized conservative vie ions have weight in the assom| something to say when the case comes up. ———_— A College Banquet.
