Or. Chas. Thompson Traces Growth
OF Christianity In America.

An audience fair in numbers
greeted DIR. Charles l.. Thompson, sec
rotary OF the board of home missions
of the Presbyterian church, last night.
OF the Presbyterian church, last night
at the Presbyterian church. Those
present were richly repaid for their at
tendance.
DR.. Thompson briefly sketched The
progress Of Christian advancement in
the United States referring to its be-
ginning with San Augustine, Florida,
and our own Santa Fe, when this half
OF the continent was yet a wilder
ness. He pointed out the retirement
of the French and Spanish, the Latin
race, before the advancing Anglo-Sax-
on, the Puritan and the Cavalie.,
from New England and Virginia, until
a new and splendid civilization with
~broadened views and elevating ten
dency had come to possess the entire
country, and send the story Of tho
cross to all parts Of the world.
The doctor briefly recited the pro-
gress Of the missions and the excellent
work being done on the frontier, In the
territories and newly acquired posses
sions. He described the work of a
missionary in the cold regions OF the
north who to meet the needs Of his
field Travelled alone. hauling his own
food and provision on a sled $50
miles over SHOWS and mountains to
carry the Word to the miners on the
outposts Of civilization.
DIR. Thompson Is an earnest and elo.
quent speaker, a man OF great force
OF character and the head OF the home
mission work In this country.
He was followed by Rev. r. M.
Craig in charge OF Presbyterian mis-
sions In New Mexico and Arizona, who
gave a very interesting short talk
making especially prominent the lib
erality of the east In its contribution
to the home mission work.
