Rev. DR.. G. j. Ryder of New York
deeply interested the congregation at
the Centre church last Sunday morn
ing. In beginning his address he said
the appeals of the peasantry of Europe
touched our sympathies, but that few peo-
pie realized the distressing condition of
large numbers of people of our own
country. All told the American Mis-
sionary association is trying TO reach
100000 people-enough to fill so large
cities-including Alaskans, Indians, ne
groes and the whites of the mountain dis
tricts of eight southern states. He en-
phasized the fact that the mountain whites
were Anglo Saxons-our own people. He
elOquently pictured their bitter poverty,
their large families, their desire for educa-
ton and moral advancement through
schools and churches, and their sensitive
ness in regard to receiving missionary aid.
He referred TO their loyalty during the
war, of how 140, 900 of them helped put
down the rebellion without a draft being
required among them. He also spoke
briefly of the Indians, of their sincerity
and their enthusiasm regarding Christian
ity when they once understood it. In the
evening Mr.. Ryder intended to speak upon
"Christian truths in slave SONGS" but as
the service was shortened to allow people
to 90 to the the town hall he did little more
than to give introductiOns and explanations
to the religious songs of plantation origin
which were sung by the choir, and to the
reading by Miss Noyes. Even in this form,
however, the service was very effective.
