HOME MISSIONS CENTENNIAL Celebration Being Held in Connection with Presbyterian General Assembly. BOARD OF EDUCATION MAKES A REPORT Cumberland Presbyterlaas Reeame Bneln Seeeloa eit prlaa-flld, Mo., and Decide to Abeadon Orphans' Home. NEW YORK, May 19. At the business session today of (he Presbyterian general assembly Rev. Dr. Van Dyke, the moder ator, preetded. '. Today marked the beginning of the cen tennial celebration ot - the Presbyterian home mlsstona, which Is Being beld 1n con nection with the general assembly. Rev. Dr, Samuel A. Martin, president of Wilson college, Chaosbersburg, Pa., chairman of the atandlng committee on Freedmen'a mis sions, presented the thlrty-aeveath annual report ot the board of missions for Freed men, i- The report says the year Just closed has been one of activity and suooeee; the growth' of the work ha been normal and healthy. More money waa received during the year than for any similar period in the last eight' years, Attention Is directed to the. good work done by the schools. Nearly 11,000 pupils hive"" come under Pres byterian Instruction, The number of min isters on the field has Increased from 201 to 109 and the number of churches ' and missions from Hi to 363,'' The treasurer's report shows cash en hand March SI, 1301, 11.869. Receipts from all sourcea during the year ended March 91, 1902, were $185,804. After all expenditures, Including salarlea, printing, interest and In vestments, were deducted there remained a balance of 11,057, The report does not Include In any way the $88,1(4 contributed by churohes and schools for self-support. A detailed report by synods accompanied the statement of the board. Report of Board foe Freedmea, . , - i - Rev, Dr, E, P, Cowan, Secretary and treasurer of the Board for Freedmen, next took the platform,. . He sail that the Presbyterian church would have to bestir Itself and do its share among the Freed mea if the day waa to be ushered In when the Freedmen could take their stand, not only as political, but spiritual equal ot the hltea. Rev. John MacGoalglS -of St. Augustine, Fla., also made an appeal for the Freed men'a' missions. He eommeneed by saying that the negro was not religious by nature. He was only- emotional ' and superatltlousi Tba average colored preacher In the south, he said, was ignorant, , v They play upon the emotions ' of their people on Sundays,'' he said, "by preaching shout a paradloe ot laxlness ka reward for the good, and a bell for the wicked. On week days they set examples which will lead those that follow then to eternal per dition." . ' ' , .. . -. Mr.- MaeGonlgle offered, an amendment to the report of the standing committee reo- ommendlng that the contributions of the j church to the Freedmen's work be Increased 60 per cent during the coming year. The report ot the Freedmen's .board, with Rev, . Mr, MacGonlgle's comment, wss ac cepted and adopted. . Rev,-Dr. A. McKluley of Bteubenvlll, O., presented the report ot the board of educa tion. . . ' Good Financial Showing-: ' '". The board announces. 'that y It 'has met all the financial engagements of the year without lncurlng any., debt, but, .haa .a somewhat diminished balance In the hands of tho treasurer. The receipts from the churches. Sabbath . , schools. . and', young peoples' societies amounted to $44,170 as compared with $43,940 last year. Only the fact that tho number of candidates en rolled for the year was abnormally amall made It possible to eerrj ' out the purpose to make a better provision for them than In recent, years, $100 -being given to stu dents In the' collegiate and seminary courses snd $90 to studsnts In the prepara tory course. This la tba highest rata paid since 1894. The number ot .-candidates under, the care ot the board during lb year was 72. The Income waa cars'e'jr sufficient to provide for them and the refoyt-potnts out that u there Should be. sn Increase of say 100. next year there would 'be mxtttle anxiety iwith regard to the $10,000 vfcfc&i'would be' beaded for the emergency. ' ' ' No Addition to. Reserve Fond. There were received by legaclea during the year $2,479. The amount paid to- candidates this year Is $65,889, as compared, with $49,333 last year. Under the circumstances It baa not been possible to make any additions to the reserve fund, The . number ' of new recommendations acted favorably upon Is 140, aa compared with 127 accepted last year. The number of renewed recommendations for this year la 432, as compared with 47S during the pre vious year. The decrease' in the number ot candidates continues, although apparently at a less rapid rate. The board believes the publication ot views that the church bas too many ministers already, fortified by statis tic. tending to show that there are a large number of capable ministers upon the roll beyond existing ' opportunities for service, have made considerable Impression, and they must be reckoned with as among the causes which discourage-young men from devoting their Uvea to work in the sacred office. We have aiven much consideration to this subject. Not a few appear to be of the opinion that we cannot expect young men to offer their services until the un pleasant features attending service In the ministry are removed or ameliorated. We believe there Is room for great Improve ment In the church's management of Its affairs and trust that with persevering seal It will continue to seek to remove all de fects from lta ayatem, but the ways of the faithful minister can never be made free from many trials and difficulties and we have little confidence in the auDnoaed divine call of any man who does not feel prepared to race tnera. Urged Upon Assembly. The following messures sre urged upon the attention ot the general assembly: A. Pravtrf ul effort to Dromote a eeneraJ revival of religion. tf. The enlistment of ministerial influ ence. C. Praver in the closet, nrever In the family and prayer In social meetings, in addUlon to the more formal prayers In the great congregation.

One wss a Bohemias, seventy- seven were colored men, twenty-nine were Germans and four were Spaniards. There bss been a very decided falling off In the number of Spanish-speaking stu dents and that just at the time when the need of suitable ministers to labor la Porto Rico and Cuba, as well as In New Mexico, Is particularly urgent. The reply to the overture from the pr by terry of Cairo- concerning th course of study necessary to prepare candldatea for the ministry Is set forth at considerable length la a supplemental report. Ap psnded to the board's conclusions upon th subjects contained In th overture Is a schema of studies for a four-years' course taken with slight '"variation from th cats Ugu of, a college which haa a required course Jor. the- freak maa and aophomor years and recommended elect Ives for the junior and aonior year, chosen aa specially adapted to give the best preparation for th semlnsry.

WASHINGTON. May 19.

Hs Insisted that the Philippine Insurrection, ss a military proposition, wss a thing of ths past snd de clared that In ae circumstances should ths United States relinquish the Philippines, The cbslr laid before Use aeaats tie letter ot the French government transmitted through Ambassador Cambon to th secre tary of state, expressing the thanks ef that government for the sympathy evinced by ths president and the congress and the. nation of the United States towsrd the sufferers from the catastrophe in Martinique.

No Repabllean Want to (salt, Mr. Dolllver declared that no republican. en party grounds, would ask for a cessation of hostilities, In ths Philippines, for every man must know that-no political advantage could be gained by an attack upon the army of the United States. The charge had been made, he aald, that the government had entered upon a wicked conspiracy against 10,000,000 people. He has listened - to the malicious tirade through which an attempt had been made to Impeach the motives ef this govern ment.
