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

.ittion In Involved, this Is true. The new
.-ttlements must bo helped to plant the
institutions.

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.

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

that It ia the cheapest home mission fluid
In which our energies may be expended.

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.

Suit Against Atlantic Rruniag
Company.
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. "Ttl.
Hans Prestwood. residents of the Con
tinental.
Mr. Joyce hud been principal o. the
Continental school for several years.
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.

The greatest part of the evidence of
fered yesterday tended to show that
the people of the Continental did not
want Mr. Joyce to teach their children
and wanted to get rid of him. There
are a few witnesses yet to be heard on
the plaintiffs side. When the testi
mony of the defendants Is heard there
are promised some Interesting; reasons
for the opposition to Mr. Joyce.
Three verdicts were rendered. In the
ease of the I'clversal Fashion company,
of New York, against John H. Ladwlg,
of the Four-Cent store, the jury found
for the plaintiff in the sum of JiS7.33
with interest from Nov. 23. 1893. In the
case of Thomas It Edwards against the
city of Scranton a verdict for the plaln
tln In the sum of S329 was given; and
In the case of J. O. Wolf again: t Jo
seph H. Seward and John Hardwick
a verdict for the defendants was found.
In No, 3 before Judge Edwards the
trespass suit of Jamea Uavlgan, of Pine
Brook, against the Atlantic Refining
company is on trial. The plaintiff is
represented by I. H. Burns, M. J. Dona
hoe and Hon. John P. Kellcy. The de
fendant is represented by Hon. W. W.
Watson. Mr. Gavigan lives on Penn
avenue and alleges that by reason of a
smell coming from the defendant's oil
tanks and storage depot, and the oil
soaking through the ground therefrom,
he has been Injured to the extent of
$2,000. Witnesses were called to testify
to the smell. The case will be closed
today.
