VERY INTERESTING TALK
BYREV. DR. WILMINGTON CHOATE
 oFNEW FORK CI7Y,
On tho Unity of Christian Activity -- Vivid and Glowing Descriptions- Highly Encouraging Features in Home and Foreign Mission Work.

At the morning service in Plymouth Congregational church, yesterday
 morning, Rev. pr. Washington Choate
 of New York city spoke upon "The un- ity of Christian Activity" laying epe-
 cial emphasis upon the work past and
 present of the Home Missionary soci- ] ety. pr. Choate said in part that the
 unity of the missionary activity was in
 a very hopeful state to-day. There
 was a time when it seemed as if there
 was a forward movement in the foreign missions alone; but now, needing the
 call of the Master, we find a united for ward movement both at home and
 abroad that exemplifies the whole
 Christian missionary spirit of the
 church of Christ" This activity the
 speaker illustrated by the recent found 1 ing in New York city of an Armenian | Congregational church, which he said emphasized the connection and influ- | ence that existed between the foreign, and the home missions. The foreign
 missions have derived some of their 1 noblest workers from the home mis- sions, but the converse of this propo- sition is also true. The foreign and the home missions do not work distinct from one another, but are a unit in spreading the gospel of God. There is even hope for federation of all Chris-
 tian churches for this noble purpose. The winning of our own land for Christ reminds me of the many edifying his- toric pictures which illustrate the spirit of the home mission. The land i,o Of ho 1orY,i,,o fat 1t !,

 The prayer of Marcus Whitman upon that great western plateau of the Rocky Mosntains which seems to over- look the whole western country, the prayer of Marcus Whitman and his lit- tie band of followers there, a fervent prayer of conservation, is anther And there is another picture in my mind
 which has not yet been placed upon canvas; either because of it's too recent occurrence, or because no artist has as yet fully appreciated the true value of the scene enacted. When the Okla homa territory was last August opened to homesteaders there was wild scramble for the choicest lots, which of course were situated near those places which the commissioners had recently selected for the sites of the county court houses, and government build ings, During one of these scrambles for the favored lots we have the un- seemly spectacle of a saloonist, exem- plifying all those forces which tend to undermine Christian character, bidding against a missionary of our home so- ciety for the best site, and thank God we have in the erection of a Central Congregational church upon that very spot the first victory for God in Okla homa, and the first planting of a seed

that cannot but bear a rich harvest. never come into New England, espe- cially Connecticut, but I am not re- minded that it was here in a little study on the Connecticut river that the home missionary idea was born. I see in the glorious work that has been accom- plished here, the future of the works that are being undertaken in the great western field of our home missions" Dr. Choate illustrated by number of interesting anecdotes the heroic work that is being done by the home mis- sionary idea in the more thinly popu lated districts of the west He spoke of the heroism of Saunders and Sander son in founding a church at Cripple Creek. He pictured the conference held in Wyoming last September, and the heroic efforts being made there by little band of missionaries to save Wy oming's fertile valleys from the taint of Mormonism, a taint which has become too pronounced in New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. He likened these men and their little congregations to the picket posts thrown in advance of great, invincible extended line of battle front. To illustrate the necessity of their work he alluded to the circum- stance that in spite of the fact that the population of Wyoming during the last decade has increased proportionally faster than that of any other western state, nevertheless only per cent. of it's population belong to any evangeli- cal church. He spoke of the growth of the home mission idea in North Dakota, and of it's victory over the Louisiana lottery, and the liquor license idea in that no license state He declared that in Minnesota, out of 327 Congregational churches, only four had not been a re- suit of the labors of the Home Mission ary society: that out of $500 churches established during the last generation 4,60O were of Home Missionary plant ing.
 Dr. Choate was entertained during his stay in New Haven by the Rev. Dr.e McLane, pastor of Plymouth church.

MAETERLINCK ON JUSTICE.

No, it was not the inherent justice of things that punished Napoleon for his three great acts of injustice, or that will punish us, in manner less startling, perhaps, but not less painful. Nor was it an incorruptible, irresponsible justice, reaching to the vault of the sky" and forever steadfastly pursuing it's own immovable course Punishment befalls us for the reason that the entire moral being of man, his mind, and his char acter are incapable of living and acting except in justice. Leaving that, we leave our natural element; we are transplanted, as it were, to a planet of which we know nothing, where the ground slips from under our feet and all disconcerts us; for, while the humblest intellect feels itself at home in justice, and can readily foretell the conse- quences of every just act, the most pro- found and penetrating mind loses it's way hopeiessly in the injustice that it. self has created, and can form no con-

| Jack did not confess until yesterday af- | ternoon.
 Their confessions were full and com plete in every particular, and they will never be revealed.
 While ministering to them almost every hour after they were brought to jail here, they often would talk to me of how they were wrongly accused of crimes, They denied positively that they killed Grocer Kahney in Mount Washington, and Edward told me in the most emphatic terms that he did not shoot Detective Patrick Fitgger- aid.
 "The poor boys died like dogs, literal ly riddled with bullets, and some one should be held responsible for inhuman actions in shooting them when entirely
 helpless, unarmed and unable to make
 the slightest defense or resistance"
 Rev. Samuel Cronin Welt, of St.
 Marks Evangelical Lutheran church,
 in his sermon tonight spoke at length
 of the criminal history made in Butler county in the past few days. He criti
 cised severely the woman whom he held responsible for the whole affair He said:
 "The Biddles and Mrs. Soffel made a vain flight from justice, and retribution swiftly came upon them. The blind ness and infatuation of this woman in leaving her beloved husband and help less little children for gang of des- peradoes is the worst criminal act thus far in the history of the twentieth cen- tury"
 At 6 o'clock this evening the bodies of the Biddles were removed from the jail to one of the railways of the sheriff's dwelling. The doors were opened and the public admitted. Late tonight a long line of people is standing in front of the door, the wind blowing about their ears and the driving snow sting ing their faces like icicles, waiting their turn. Noticeable among the crowd is the number of women.
 Mrs SoffeFs condition tonight is not considered favorable by the attending physicians.
 Wearing the garh of nuns of the Ro- man Catholic church the Biddles and Mrs. Soffel had hoped to make their escape. It was Mrs. SoffeTs plan, and the arrangement was that as soon as the trio had reached a place of tempo rary safety they were to don the black robes and veils as travelling sisters of mercy They had planned to make for some remote mining place in Canada where they were to live together.
 Ed Riddle had told Mrs. Soffel that he intended to give up his former nega- rious trade and work in the mines with Jack. This plan was made known to pr. McCurdy Bricker at the Butler hos pital by Mrs. Soffel, and was confirmed by Jack Riddle on saturday
 Jack Riddle told Dr. Bricker before he died that they were at a loss for some plan to disguise themselves when they broke jail, This problem was un- to them for days At last Mrs l Soffel hit upon this means of escape. It was proposed to the condemned men only two weeks ago that was the only link in their chain of flight that had not been forgedtb the men Ed Bid dle told Mrs. Soi,el he had many friends | in Toledo O., al l in Michigan When l once among thsn they would secure ] some assurance&,of their future free l dom. Mrs. Softly and Ed Riddle plan- | ned their future IS husband and wife.
