Baptist World
Alliance Meets
Camden, N". J., June 21, 1911.
Editor The Citizen,
Honesdale, Pa.
Dear Sir:
Through the kindness of Tyler
11111 and Damascus friends who gave
me a graduating present of a trip to
Philadelphia, I am attending the ses
sions of tho Daptist World Alliance
In the Baptist Temple, Broad and
Berks streets, of which Dr. Russell
11. Conwell is pastor. On Monday
of last week the Northern Baptist
convention, a delegated body repre
senting the grunt North nnd West,
nil i ..ml continued until Sunday
milling. Uov. and Mrs. H. D. Minch
ni.u (laughters, Miriam and Alice,
i.'ii,f with Hie. Our principal. Harry
1 k, tame with us as far as New
' r i k from which place he went to
Minllctown. Conn., to attend the
on.niencement exercises of Wcsle
yiu! I'nivorslty. Mr. Pethick, con
tra:. to his original Intention, ex
pec i. to return to Damascus for all
ot l.er year.
We arrhed at Camden, N. J.,
about live o'clock where we parted
with the ladies of the party who
vent on to Bridgton that night. We
stopped at tile homo of Joseph Jar
ile nn Ither Avenue, an old friend
ot Mr. Mlnch's.
On Thursday and Friday we at
t' r.ded all the sessions of the con
vention. Thursday morning Dr.
Sa.e. superintendent of Education,
spoke on the "Dominant Purpose in
Cur Work for the Negroes." His
Heei li was followed by brief ad-die-i-ed
by President A. C. Osborne
and President L. G. Barrett. Thtirs
d.i afternoon came the election of
olP'trn and several missionaries
oke on the work being done for
o n- Spanish Speaking Neighbors.
A rntlve-horn Porto Rican and a
nut he-bom Cuban addressed the
inuli'iKO. in the evening there were
two line addresses, one on the "Con
s'"' ntion and Relnvigoration of Our
Country Churches" and tin- other on
the Conservation and Captaincy of
O .r Forces in the Great Cities" by
l)r. H. G. Beeman, Iowa, and Dr. C.
H Eaton, New i'ork.
Friday was chiefly devoted to the
missionaries. The general business
of tl.u Ai.-.ti-n an Baptist Foreign
Missionary society was attended to
in the morning, the afternoon being
cunrttimed by brief addresses by for
ngn missionaries of both sexes. An
interesting feiiture was a short ad
dress by a Burnese girl, who then
sans a song that her father had com
posed. One minister said that the
total outlay in mission work in Bur
i '.in was fully Instilled if it produced
1 it tills one girl. Friday evening,
. tor the addresses of the program,
i,', new appointees to foreign lands
tipre introduced, and each one told
1 u his attention had been drawn
t the foreign missionary work.
Having attended two days' full
n-ssions we were pretty tired and we
.-:.iyed home Saturday. In the niter
noon. Mr. Jarvis, Mr. Minch and my
M'!i' went to Fairmount Park to see
a Polo game.
On Sunday evening the Northern
H.iptist convention adjourned.
Monday afternoon the Baptist
World Alliance was called to order
by tho President, Dr. John Clifford,
of London, England, who led the
devotional exercises. Then followed
addresses of welcome and responses.
Dr. Russell H, Conwell presided.
Among the addresses of welcome
was a welcome to the city by Hon.
John E. Reyburn, Mayor of Phila
delphia. Great enthusiasm was
shown by the audience throughout
the session. Monday evening was
tke roll call of the Nations. One of
cacii delegation made a three-minute
speei h In reply.i which was followed
by a hymn by the whole delegation
in their own language.
Tuesday morning Dr. Clifford as
president made an address which the
audience cheered with deafening ap
plause. Handkerchiefs were waved
by nearly every member of the con
gregation and Dr. Clifford had to
rise to thank the audience. He
said with tears in his eyes that he
now saw the reason the Americans
did so many truly great things. His
wonderful address was followed by
two talks on tho "Suliiciency of the
Gospel: first, "For the Salvation of
tlie Individual," and secondly, "For
tne Salvation of Society."
Tuesday afternoon there was a
l. ass meeting in the interest of
oung People's Work. The business
i:.iiti!i'? of tho Baptist Young Peo
p.e's lTnion of America was held at
." o'clock In the Memorial Baptist
t lun ch, Broad and Master streets.
Tuesday evening the special chair
man was E. Y. .Mullen, Kentucky.
The addresses of tho evening were
mi "Vital Experience of God." J.
Moffatt of England, spoke on the
subject "No Authoritative Creed,"
ii nd A. T. Robertson, Kentucky,
spoke on the "Spiritual Interpreta
tion of tho Ordinances," which was
applauded heartily. Among other
things Mr. Robertson spoko of
Church Unification." He said that
the Baptists would meet any denom
ination half way in tho river Jor
dan. One of tho greatest actions of tho
Northern Baptist convention was tho
otlng in of tho denomination of
Free Will Baptists Into tho Baptist
i hurcli. The former denomination
consists of 87,000 communicants who
will now bo included in the Baptist
tliurch membership. 1
With all respect to The Citizen,
its readers, its lost Kick editor, and
Solid Ivory Spllvins, I close
Yours very truly,
ORVILLE A. WELSH.
The Citizen will publish
In each Issue of the week
one of the essays or declamations,
which formed part of the Com
mencement exercises of tho
Honesdale High school for the
benefit of those who were unable
to be present at the exercises.
The following oration was deliver
ed by Miss Doherty at the recent high
school commencement. Her subject
was "Heroines of American History."
"On the pages of ancient history,
there Is scarcely a line given to the
heroic deeds of women, in the an
nals of Greece, the wife of a philo
sopher has obtained a place, through ,
many trials, and Rome has slightly
lifted the veil from the mother of,
the Gracchi. Among the pagans. !
v. u.aen lived In tho lowest degrada
tion; the American Indian placed'
Lis burden on her shoulders and I
walked on with his quiver and his
tomahawk; beneath the burning i
skies of Africa she crouches before
her judges, waiting, yes, longing for ;
death; in India she plunged her f e- (
male infants into the Ganges that
they might escape her bitter lot.
Christianity has changed the
scene; the sway of brute fon e has
softened; she Is now honored and
respected; caring for the wounded
and dying; entering unrebuked tho
fields of science and literature, add
ing a new volume to the history of
the world. "Joan of Arc" and "the
dark-eyed maid of Saragoss.i" shall j
in the future be the chivalrie wan h .
words of France and Snain. but not !
less worthv of record are the names
nf nmnv American heroines, who bv I
their noble lives and deeds have won I
the hearts of their countrymen.
"We find a prophecy of what
American women were to be in the i
bravp Indian maiden, Pocahontas,
who threw herself upon the con
demned Smith, exclaiming: 1 am
daughter of the King, and I claim
the Indian right." Her request be-j
mg granted, annul returned to tne
little colony unharmed. Later when
the white men were thieatened with
famine she carried corn to them each
day. carefully guarding the germ or
a mighty nation.
"The germ struggled and grew;
others were planted beside it and in
a few years demanded the rights giv
en to other Englishmen. When they
declared themselves Independent
they needed a new flag. Again a
woman's wit was exemplified in
Petsy Ros who in her humble home
In Philadelphia designed that beauti
ful emblem of freedom which has
ever since floated over our land hon
ored by eery nation.
"Contemporary with the mother of
our flag were Mary and Martha
Washington, the mother and wife
ot our Wctorious first chief, the one
baring moulded the character of a I
noted hero, littlng him to bee ome tho I
father of a great republic, the other I
having accompanied him through all '
the trials and hardships of his late
lite, presiding with unsurpassable
dignity, as the matron of a nation.
During these same years Abigail
Adams, an Aspasia of the revolution,
was moulding the character of her
-on. training him to devote his life
lj ills country. Silently urging him
on she prayed for wisdom to guide
him to victory and one is led to ask
whether with such a mother, John
Quincy Adams could help becoming
. noble-minded man; whether lie
(ould help fitting himself to fill the
highest otiice in the gift of his coun
try. We are also indebted to Dolly
Madison, for our most precious docu
ment. When the British destroyed
the capital at Washington she broke
the glass case containing the declar
ation of Independence and fled from
the building.
In times of war American women
have ever been present on the battle
fields and in the prisons; have pene
trated the lines of the enemy on
dangerous missions, showing how
near to their hearts was the honor
of their country.
"During the Revolution, at the
time General Green retreated before
Lord Rawden from "Ninety-Six," he
was desirous of sending a message to
General Sumter then on the Santee,
to take a position in front of the
enemy who were retreating toward
Orangeburg, but no one seemed will
ing to undertake so hazardous a
journey, the scouts of the enemy be
ing stationed all around them. At
length Emily Gelger, oighteen years
of age, volunteered her services.
Tho delighted general communicated
the contents of the letter to her,
tearing she might lose it on the way.
While going through swampy woods
she was arrested by a band of Tories
and confined in a room of a nearby
house until a woman conld be
brought to search her person. When
lett alone she ate tho letter piece by
piece, so when the matron made the
search nothing was found and she
was allowed to continue her journey.
In a short time she readied the
American camp, delivered the verbal
message to General Sumter who
soon joined the main army at
Orangeburg.
When the British army held pos
session of Philadelphia, tho Adjutant
General obtained a room for private
conference In the homo of Lydia
Darrak, a member of tho Society of
Friends. One evening when tho
family had been ordered to retire
early she became suspicious and
listened at the keyhole, learning
that the British troops wore to march
out on a certain evening and attack
Washington's army then stationed
at Whlto Marsh. The next morning
she Informed her family that she
would go to Frankfort for flour. She
easily secured a pass through tho
British lines from General Howe and
leaving her order at tho mill hasten
ed toward the American lines.
Quickly delivering her message she
returned with tho flour and anxious
ly awaited tho result. The British
troops marched out as ordered but,
much to their surprise, found Wash
ington's cannon mounted and his
troops prepared to recolvo them.
Often were American women pres
ent on tho battlefield, carrying water
to tho soldiers, bearing tho wounded
from the Held, even taking their
places In the light. During the bat
tle of Monmouth a gunner named
Pitcher was killed and when call

The following from tho Scranton
Tribune-Republican will be of Inter
est to Mr. Searle's many friends in
Wayne county:
Things have so shaped themselves
in tho past two months, that It is
not certain now that E. ft. W.
Scarlo will leave tho office of Feder
al court clerk to mako placo for a
successor to bp named by Judgo C.
B. Witmer, Who took Judgo R. W.
Archbald's placo, when Judgo Arch
bald ascended to tho United States
Court of Commerce. County Con
troller E. A. Jones has been men
tioned for tho placo and tho under
standing has been that he would
supplant Clerk Searle some time In

It now deelops that Influences
are working to keep Clerk Searle in
the office. It is understood that
Judeo Arehbald, who appointed him
is doing his best to have him con
tinued. Judge Witmer, it is said
wished to hae the appointing of his
own clerk, but is not assorting him
self to this end, apparently satisfied
to let affairs drift until later in the
summer,
Controller Jones was practically
assured of the appointment when
changes were ma'do in Federal court
; lncldent t0 the resignation of Judge
i Arehbald and tho elevation of Mr
witmer to succeed him. The ap
nointment of a clerk would hav

wero announced. It was said, were it
not tnat tho Stat0 Republican lead
ers concluded to retain for a time
one old oineial acquainted with ofllce
routine. Judge Arehbald, it has
said, has been busy in an eftort to
have Clerk Searlo retained perman
ently.
Tho office has neen good for ?10,
000 to $!!", 000 a year, but it will
not bo so fat after January 1 next
It will then pay a lixed salary of ?3,,
C00 a year, hut good practically for
life. Under the fee system tho clerk
received the fees of three courts
virtually, as fees came from the of
fices In Willianisport, Harrisbnrg and
Scranton, throe cities In which tho
court sits.
