At the Grand avenue Baptist church
yesterday morning Rev. DR.. Sage in an
interesting address gave an account of
the anniversaries Of the national Bap-
tist societies, which conventions are
now being held in Rochester, N. Y. DR..
Sage and DIR. Poteat of this city at
tended the anniversaries the past week.
In his address he said:
"All of the northern states from
Maine to California were represented
at Rochester and the southern tier as
far south as South Carolina, Several
| foreign countries were also represented.
There was a feeAing of sadness over
| spreading the great meetings at the
start because of the debt of $4,000 rest
| ing upon the missionary society, but
| before the close of the week the sadness
gave place to joy, when it was learned
| that a lady in California had just given
| 100000 for the, mission work, thus
| sweeping away the debt and affording
needed contributions for the work of
the coming year"
! He then referred to the work of the
student associations in one thousand of
the higher institutions of learning in
| the country and to the twelve young
men and three young ladies who were
to go forth from these societies as mis-
sionaries in a few weeks. Most of them
were present at Rochester, and they
made brief addresses. He referred to
| the address Of native woman from
India who had with her six child wild
ows. In the church which she had been
| instrumental in establishing in India
there were 275 child widows and in the
country at large there were 100000 of
| this unfortunate class. He spoke of
the wonderful work that DR.. Bunker
is doing in Burmah. He said in Bur-
nah there were numerous dialects
which interfered with the mission work.
In the one district where DR.. Bunker is
at work nineteen different dialects are
spoken.
| He referred to the work in the home
field among the Kiowa Indians and
their great aversion to the influence of
missions. A start has at last been
made and the chief of the tribe has
been converted and was present at the
| convention and spoke.
He referred to the spirit of patriotism
which thoroughly pervaded the meet
ings. The big church where the ami
versaries were held was decorated with
| American flags and the English Jack.
A greeting from the people of South
| Carolina was responded to by dele
| gate from Boston and there were greet
ings from Toronto, Canada, and from
Great Britain, and reply was sent
back to be presented at the Baptist
gathering in Great Britain. He said
that if the Philippine Islands were to
be retained by the United States it
meant that 100000 Of people will be
thrown upon the American people for
such missionary aid as this country
has never been called on to give be-
| fore.
DR. Sage spoke of the dedication of a
new chapel car-No. (Which bore the
| inscription, Messenger of Peace" He
said that among the speakers for Sun
| day evening was Rev. Wallace H. But
rick, formerly pastor of the First Bap-
| fist church, this city.
