Missions, Home and Foreign.

The appearance Of the president of
the United States as chairman of a
meeting called last week to urge the
advancement of the cause of home mis-
sions is unusual That President
Cleveland, who more than most of his
predecessors avoids appearing in pub
lie except in discharge of his official
duties, should have acted in such ca
pacity argues that the issue presented
was one which had for him some spec
lal and peculiar interest. Indeed that
was shown by the address with which
lie opened the meeting. 1t happened
that the assemblage was denomination
al called by the Presbyterians of New
York The issue, however, transcend
ed denOminatiOnal bounds. 1t was,
broadly speaking, the comparative
value, merit and prOpriety of home and
foreign missions. 1t was to DE expect
ed upon such a question Grover Cleve-
land would take an emphatic stand in
favor of what might be called national
ism. The president, who has more
than once shown in his diplomatic pa
pers conviction that the highest duty
of the citizen of the United States is to
his own country, who has more than
once interviewed to prevent shrewd
schemers from diverting the energies Of
our own people from their proper task
of promoting and defending prosperity
at home into mad schemes of colonial
ton abroad, or of intervention in the
affairs of distant governments, could
hardly be expected to do other than
ascribe the prime Importance to mis-
sionary work among our own heather
who unhappily are many and do not
altogether live in " the Sums"
That curious phase of mentality
which leads its possessOr to send, like
Mrs. Jellaby, red flannel shirts to the
naked little blacks Of BoOriOboOla Cha,
while children at home go shiYering in
rags, is not unknown today, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Chicago has had a
recent illustration in bequest which
has sent the Rev. DR.. BarroWs to preach
the gospel of Christ in India, while the
gospel of clean living, temperance and
thrift goes untaught in pOpulous Sec
tions of that very city. Against action
of this sort the president set his face.
Rightly he urged that home folk be
considered first and the regeneration of
peoples of far distant lands be left for
later considerations.
OF late there has been notable ten
dency among many American law
makers toward attempts to reform
abuses everywhere except in the Unit
ed States. They would send war-ships
to the aid of the Armenians, but do not
attempt to suppress lynching at home
They are eager to put stop to injus-
tice abroad, but shrink from effort to
check the aggressiOns of mOnOpOlists in
the United States. They can get vast
" more excited over the wrongs O
some foreign country than over the
rights of home taxpayers. Whatever
work is nearest to their hand they put
aside to undertake some other task.
To such the principles laid down il
President Cleveland's speech before the
Presbyterian home missionary meeting
may be commended. In them is {
guide for politicians as for parsons. Ii
things material as in things spiritual
reform, like charity, should begin a
home.
