place of Rev Dr Kynett of Phila delphia who should have spoken on Home Missions -and Church Exten sion but was not able to reach us Bishop Warren then delivered a power ful address His general theme was Home Missions but he discussed it in a manner very unusual and unusually striking Showing how all parts of the earth are bond together and how each part depends on others he describ ed in rraDhic language and impressive the American pictures the United States can nation as a great missionary agency It is a Government of and by and Fronch Revolution for the people The tion never could have unseated the old Bourbon incubus but for the example of the Revolution in America Some tell us there were excesses in the French movement So there were twenty eight hundred people lost their lives on tho guillotine But one hun dred thousand Huguenots were slaugh tered under Louis XIV The very ex cesses of the Revolutionists were less sanguinary than was the so called es tablished order There are fourteen inventions that as the world now is must go where ever man shall be Among them are the telegraph the telephone the sewing machine tho writing machine all of them products of American genius But that genius would have had but a nar row field for its activity but for educa tion which has lifted American labor higher then elsewhere Our to a plan laborers do far more then the laborers of other lands and of course he earns more His success is an evangel to the laborers less favored But aside from any influence this has on tho secular life of the other people is its suggestion What is the secret of of the question And sooner or Americas greatness later comes the answer America is the land where the church is free CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUB itlc00E Matters of Municipal Moment Regular
