He traced at some length the innu-
ence which the Christian church has
had upon this nations growth and his
tory. The foundations of Professionalism
We're laid by the Puritans, Moravians
and Huguenots, who fled from perse-
cution in Europe, he said, and these
people We're all fired with the mission
ary spirit.
Action along missionary lines was
first taken as individual churches, then
as presbyteries, then as synods. until
finally. in 1902, the general assembly
appointed COMMITTEE on home mis-
sions." which was organized into a
permanent board in 1916. The money
expended by the board since 1916 has

Is now the senior company of the First
regiment, c. r. A. 4. OF A.
This regiment will go into camp at
Lake Lodore on July IS, for eight days.
1t is the first genuine military organi-
zaton to be formed exclusively Of
Catholic Total Abstinence workers, and
the prospects are that its success will
be instrumental in the formation of
other similar regiments throughout the
United States.
How many persons seeing Captain
w. II. Burke, the sanitary officer, rid
ing by on his horse would say that he
is IS years old. Surely no one but
Sherlock Holmes would be able to de-
duce it from his appearance. AS
straight as the proverbial arrow; as
active as Il man of % years old. and
as healthy as horse, Captain Burke
is one of the youngest, If not the
youngest. old man in this city.
His hair and moustache are as black
as coal and he can give man about
as tough fight as he would wish for
If necessity demands. The captain is
one of the Oldest men on the police
force both in years on earth and in
years of service. He has been sani-
tary officer now for many years and he
has held the position with remarkable
success. 1t is no sinecure as many i'm
agine but Il position which not only
entails much work but which also re-
quires good judgment and lots of it.
The success in old Mexico of men
from the Iackawanna and Wyoming
valleys will probably attract to that
country many young miners who will
leave here because of the strike. NJ.
w. O'Boyle and John II. Foy, of Pitts
ton, and Edward F. Blewitt, of this city,
are examples of this success. These
men have constructed for the city of
Guadalajara Il sewage system that Is
said to be the most perfect in the
world Guadalajara is about the size
of Scranton. 1t never had sewer of
any kind until the contract was award
ed to O'Boyle & FOy. Under Mr.
Blewitt's supervision a complete sys-
TEN of trunk and lateral lines was
planned that will accommodate any
flood and give perfect satisfaction dur
ing a drought. Mining and other con-
cessions have also claimed the atten-
tion of these men, and it is likely that
upon these properties employment may
be found for many strikers.
