DESCRIBED IN AN ABLE PAPER It Was Bead Before the Members of tke Ladies Hume Missionary Society of tke Tint! Presbyteriaa l'karckUoud Work Tkal Is Being Oeac tor Cod and Society i This Valley. At a recent meeting of the Ladles' Home Mislsonary aoclety of the First Preshvtertan church the paper printed below, written by a friend of the aoclety, was read by Mr. II. V. Logan. The ao clety, of which Mrs. James Archbald is president. Is a most progressive one ana Is ckilne- a great work along the lines for which It was organised. The title of the nntier abovo referred to IB V oreign Missions at Home" ana it treats mo subject In this exhaustive manner: Foreign missions at home. The field of missions is the world. The church Is In the habit of making a distinction between (ho homn ami fa If I 111 fli'ltl which Is en- tlrely consistent with the unity of the Gos. pel work. The Lord Himself made a dis tinction In the charge which he gives to nrcfh the Un.nel flmonff all nations, but he bi irlns at Jerusalem. The reasons for b?3fiin!ng at Jerusalem are Just as Im Dressive today as in the day of Pent cost. Indeed, they are founded In the na ture of the Uotpel Itself. It cannot De preached unto all nations except by the missions begun at home and an ine vir tues of patriotism are Involved In the obligations of a revealed Gospel. "He that caret h not for his own Is worse than Rn Ihtiilel." Therefore the distinction be tween home and foreign missions, while it is fejfcueciully necessary for convenience and clour understanding has a reason which la wranned un In the Gosnel Itself, There can be no war between the two. The nei;lect of the foreign iield cannot be atoned ror by the cultivation or mo home. Nor can successful foreign mis sions ever diminish the demand of the home Held. Tho urovldence of God In different gen erations has wltied out all uosslble dis tinctions by so overlapping me two neias that we cannot touch the one without reaching the other. BROUGHT TO Of It DOOR3. Ths.k is esDeclallv the caaa In the home field, while Hunt at our doors It is II lie J with almost all the peoples that are to be found in the foreign field. And we have lived to see actual foreign mission and the demand for foreign missionary work at home and w'.thln sight of our own uour. We have now 10 so neither to Europe, Asia or Africa to plant our missions, for the Lord has brouuht all the races Into our own lund and ideniined tnem wun us. we have been accustomed to have the home field pressed upon us as a line of the progress of the nation across the con tlnent. The field of home missions, we have beii taught, is ever sweeping west ward with the tide or emigration, jioine iiilsbions and the west have been syn vs. and so far as the native-born Domi .ittion In Involved, this Is true.

It Is well to look them In the face ami nature into the character of their rami lies when In the name of how missions we are caned upon to send the Gospel Hit, 'hp darkness of I tail and to moiuitti." uotnes of tre southern Aiiuulaidimn chain. Here a-i-e sun.e of the fans derived from 1 lie Koverimieiit census and reports of our uupiiicss enterprises in these valleys: In thete two counties we have 2"0 col i.i-rus wmcn employ from Jo.tw to SU.'U men as hand-workers. And to these th workers ill our shons and factories In on :-i hemes of transpoi'tatlon and public Im provemeni wc will linn quite u majont of our population that are not only for elgn-born, but shut oif from us by a for enn tongue. The increase of these for- elftn-longne population in tho last ten years mis been at the rate of 50 ncr cent There are more than 12U,0W of these for olaners In these counties today. Six years ago mere wore iu,uuw more lorelsn moth era than native mothers In these counties and the Increase of this Immigration has been much greater than any other. These are emigrants rrom eastern and south ern hltirope. There Is an Immense variety both or race and language; there are Miavomcs, or whom there are 90,000 In Ktissia ami Aur.tnu. There are llohe mians, Poles, Lithuanians, Slavans, Hun garlans or Magyars and Italians. Wlthou exception tney are poor and compelle to be hand-workers. A large body c them call themselves Greek Catholics, A lante number of them are reforme either Lutherans or Calvlnlsts; a large number of these are of German tongue. There are fully 80,000 of these people, all mingled together, who, within the last few years, have shown a decided disnos I tlon to build themselves homes and de- termlne the character or our communi ties. What religious teachers they have are eimer entirely incompetent or tne teaon era of a false Gospel. Such Is the field. Increasing In Its pro portions with the Increase of our mm. cessful Industries and the building of our cities. Until within six or seven years no Protestant effort was made to reach these people with Gospel teaching.-Our First church had the honor of begin. ng mat wur in esiaonsmng tne Italian missions, which has been most success ful from the start, nnd the old pastor of this church brought the claims of the mis sion to the presbytery and with the aid of some of the elders of the church suc ceeded In securing an organisation of mlsslonery movement reaching toward all these races. And when he resigned his pastorate by unanimous vote of the n. bytery he was appointed to superintend and advocate the mission; and since Nov ember, 1893, has given his whole time to It. TEACHING THEM THE LANGUAGE. It was found Impossible to secure relia ble workers In the tongues of all these peoples, and the only practical work was to attempt to teach them our Gospel In English, securing only such number of ministers as might form a connecting link between our American church and thse neglected masses, and to organize free kindergartens and Sunday schools for the little ones who could be readily taught In tongue; with these, night schools for older children and adults willing to learn the English. The mission, run upon theso lines, has been a growing sue. cess for three years. A complex duty has fallen upon this presbyterial committee, which is Inces sant, requiring great watchfulness and Stock. Hsve Been Waiting Two Bicycle Shoes. ...

We have now in three schools about lav children from to 1 years of age. These lead the teach. ers to their homes, and these are being transformed with growing; interest, es pecially In the last year. missions are oeifun in varoondaie reacn !m dowu through Mayville. and Archbald. also in i'eckviile as a center reaching the breakers and pleaching stations as far down as Dickson City. Thru in Scrao ton, includiiia lunniore, as far south as O.ii K011;; at i'Uiston, reaching out on both sides ot the river, and then at Wilkes-uarre. under the care of the First church. These missions so far have only touche-i the field, and every one of them has met with unexpected success. God has rec ognised the work by giving vonverta to every missionary. All the missionaries employed have been paid monthly and two-thirds of the money for their support has been aecured by per sonal solicitation. COST OF THE MI8SION8. The cost of the mission as It Is run today 1 about S3.0U) a year, which assures us that It ia the cheapest home mission fluid In which our energies may be expended. rne committee report that they Have found more than i'uo Magyars who are members of the Presbyterian church ot Unnvjirp Anil nnlv una, minlato! hm lift) n found In the last year who can speak their tongue. These people are entirely with out any religious privileges and are anx ious to have them. Twenty-six or them have united with Peckville Slavonic church, because It Is Presbyterian while they cannot understand a word ot tho ser vice. This is the present vein of the field as shown to us by our pastors and eiders. The needs of It cannot be ineaeuivd and the power of our churches to reach It is greater than for any other field known In our country. We nave hundreds of the churches' daughters that are capable of teaching the kindergarten and with mis sionary spirit enough to lead them to the homes or these poor in uod s vineyard where souls are to be saved and Christian citlsens are -to be educated. In all the schools established the chil dren have been so poor that we have had to proviae inem witn clothing to enable them to attend school. Roys and girls In the winter have gone barefooted to schools in the snow, while the cast-off garments of our Christian households weary us with the question, "What shall we do with them?" olunteer Sunday school teachers and night school teachers can find work for the Lord in reach of all our street cars. All that Is needed la that our churches and working Christians shall Interest themselves In the field that God has uut directly within their reach. And wm hmilrt be impressed with the solemn fact that this Is a part of the home field which can only be reached by our people, and It Is a foreign field that no foreign board would think of entering: If we do not evangelize these masses who will? We cannot expect either the churches abroad or tne missionary workers of our own country to enter this field except by our mviiauun anu supuon. tnis is the work which appeals to the Women s Home Missionary societies of this valley with the full force of the Gos pel call. The evidence that Jesus is with us In our missionary work will be found now, as always, In the fact that "tne poor nave tne uoapcl preached to them. PERMITS DURING MAY.

Professor Martin Joyce's trespass suit for damages on account of his dis missal by the Lackawanna township school board from the piinclpalshtp of No. school at the Continental. Is on trial in the main court room before Judge Archbald. Mr. Joyce was cast adrift In January. 1894, and In May of the same year he brought suit for $5,000 damages on th charge of conspiracy and malicious prosecution. There are fourteen defendant's In the case and are as follows: William Mor gan and G eorge L. Timlin, who were then on the board, and John Davis, Richard Lanyan, Edmund Carter, James Stephens, David Lloyd, Jr., David Lloyd, sr., Silas Plnnook, Mrs. Rose Plnnock, El!?n Bacorn, Margaret Baeorri, Lizzie Slprle, and V.

When the school board of Lackawarna township met In the summer of 189."- to hire teachers for the ensuing term opposition came from some of the resi dents of the Continental to the re-engagement of Professor Joyce. Wil liam Morgan, as director from that district, lodged the complaints before the board, and for a few months there were lively times at the meetings. AN INVESTIGATION HELD. At last In November a committee consisting of Mr. Morgan, Mr. Timlin and Evan J. Evans, was appointed to visit the school and hear the charges against he principal Big and little, young and old, turned out to hear the inquisition. Charges were preferred against Mr. Joyce nnd the board in January. 1894, decided to dispense with his services. He refused to p;lve up th key to Miss Kate Burke, who was appointed his successor, and held the fort for several days. No pupils came except a few, and after repeated demands for the key, the board caused a warrant for de tainer to be sworn out for him before Alderman Morgan, then of the Fif teenth ward. Constable Timothy Jones and Officer Davis, of Taylor, on Jan. 2fi arrested Mr. Joyce and after that Miss Burke took charge of the school. The hoard did not prosecute the warrant further, because the de sired result had been accomplished, namely, gcttlrg him out of the school. . Attorney W. 8.
