It la a pleasure on behalf of, the United (Kate to bid you welcome on tha hundredth anniversary of the be ginning of organised home missionary work by the Presbyterian church. In one sense, of course, al fervent and earnest church work If a part of borne miMlonay work. Every earnest and ataloua believer, every man or wom an 1 a doer of the work, not a hear er only, la a lifelong missionary in hla or her field of labor a missionary by precept and by what 1 a thousandfold more than precept, by practice. Ev ery such believer exerla Influence on those within reach; somewhat by word and Infinitely more througn the cease less yet wellnlgh unseen pressure .all the stronger when its exercise ia un conscious, of example .of broad, loving nelghborllnes. Hut tonight we celebrate 100 year uf missionary work, done not Incident ally but with net purpose; 100 years of earnest effort to spread abroad , the gospel to lay deep the moral founda tion upon which true national great nemi muit ret. The century that baa cIihmkI ha seen the conquest of thla continent by our people. To conquer a continent la rough work. All the real ly great work ia rough In the doing, though it may aeem smooth enough to thitse who look bark upon It or who guxe uiwn K from afar. Thoroughness ia an unavoidable part of the doing, of the deed. We need dlfjiay but scant patience with thone who, Kitting at cane In thvlr own homex, delight to ex ercise a queluloua and censorious part of Judgment upon their brethren, who. whatever their ahortcomlngs, are do ing strong men's work aa they bring the light of civilisation Into the world's dark plaoea. The criticism of those who live softly, remote from the strife la or little value; but It would be dif ficult to overestlmme the value of the missionary work of those who go out to share the hardship and while shar ing It, to wags war against the myriad forms of brutality. It la such; mis sionary work which prevents he pto neera from sinking pertously near the level of the savagery against which they contend. Without It the conquest of this continent would have had little but an animal side. - Without It the pioneers fierce and rude virtues and sombre faults would have been left unlit by the flame of pure and loving aspiration. Without It the life of this country would have been a life of In conceivable hard and barren material ism. Because of It, deep beneath and through the. national character thert runs that powej of firm adherence to a lofity Ideal upon which the safety of the nation will ultimately depend. Honor, thrice honor, to those who for three generations, during the period of this peoples great expansion, have seen that the force of the living truth expanded as the nation expanded. They bore the burden and the heat of the day, they tolled obscurely and 'died un known, that we might com Into a glorious heritage, Iyt us prove the sincerity of our homage to their faith and their work by the way In wMch we manfully carry toword completion what undr them was so well begun.

WOMEN FOUGHT LIKE DEMONS Had There, Iteen C'oneert of Action the Whole Number Would Have Karaped. NEW YORK, May 20. A (Ire at the New Jersey state hospital for the In sane at Morris Plains has caused wild excitement among the KM patients. The guards were able to restrain them only by the most vigorous efforts. When the Are was first discovered In the laundry the patients were hastily brought together In the yard and sur rounded by a cordon of guards and attendants, who held them back when they made a dash for freedom. , Aa soon as the flames were discov ered most of the guards and attend ants were sent to the various wards to get the patients out None of the violently Insane or criminals was in the threatened building, but the alarm of fire caused even those whose mnds were but slightly unbalanced to be come frantic with terror. Nearly all the patients were In the dormitories, which made the task of betting them out of the building much easier, as they could be marxhalled as at the regular drill. In some of the wards furtherest from the lire a few of the patients who coutd be trusted, were left.' "Thr vtherw -were marched from the building. ' Although they were greatly frightened, a few soothing words from the guards pacified them, and there was tittle trouble until all were assembled In the yard. There they again became panic stricken and many tried to break through the thin line of guards. The women seemed more frightened .than the men and sev eral times they led the dashes for freedom. Had there been any concert ed movement the whole 2500 would have escaped. Groups of SO or 30 would make a sudden run toward the guards and the latter would have hard work getting them back In the crowd with the others. This would work the oth ers up to a frenxy, and another group would charge toward another part of the line, only to be driven back. Men and women used their fists free ly and several of the guards were badly bruised by the struggling mob. As tar as could be learned, however, none ewaped. When the flames were extinguished the patients were led back to their dormitories, but for hours they could not be Quieted. The financial loss was small. in which he said Filipinos should be taught to respect the United States. CHAPLAIN INJURED.
