TUB r RESIDENTS ADDRESS.
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.

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.
