then could not rest till be- had gone
bone 10 tell his family Of Christ. He
walked much of the way 10 the Pacific
coast in lis zeal. His efforts were
happily crowned by the conversion Of
his family.
The A. NJ. A. is working also with
our old friends. the Indians, who are
nov At the crossing OF the ways and
must bc transformed into good Ameri-
can citizens. Instead Of dying out, the
race Is slowly increasing now.
The lligblanders in the south, de-
scendants from the same stock as the
New Englanders, are hungry for an
education and need help. Lastly, our
greatest problem, the negroes OF the
south. DIR. Gunnison had with him
specimens OF the excellent work done
al one Of the negro colleges, in the
shape Of well made carpenters tools,
etc.
Dr. Teed then spoke Of our debt 10
the colleges, which send us our minis
tiers, our missionaries, and professional
men like that quiet. Christian. prayer
loving. Bible-loying lawyer, Charles
| Hughes" who has just been made
candidate for the goyernorship Of New
| York.
The west needs more colleges. Dr.
Teed said the best place 10 live IN was
New England, and the best place IN
New England was Massachusetts,, and
the best place in Massachusetts, was
Boston. But New England has twenty
five colleges TO one in a section Of the
west far larger. Put Fargo College at
Albany and the next nearest would be
at Portland, Me-, Trenton, n. j., and
Chicago. In the Dakotas there are
whole counties of foreigners who need
Christian education to make them good
American citizens. The speaker had
met one such in train when starting
east The man asked whether he were
going east. Upon receiving an Affirm
alive answer he inquired " As far east
az 81. paulf' DR., Teed said "Massa-
ehusetts, with all the impresslycness
due that digni6ed name, but the man
looked blank, so he specified Boston" y
with the smile the Bostonian always
puts on when he names his native city.
But the man had never heard Of Bos-
ton There are several more out
there who have never heard of Boston"
proceeded DR.. Teed, 'and some who
haven't even heard of the golf links at
Manchester ~ The foreigner, beng
in turn Intercepted, said he had come
from Russia. 30 you like America
better'n elected the hearty response,
"Surel It's free"
In concluding his remarks DIR. iced
said that his work took him all over
our magnificent western country, and
that il had brondened his mind and his
vision, but that he returns from his
trips almost heart broken that more is
not being done by the churches, for
work is necessary if we are 10 save the
republic. God takes his wealthy church
and puts il on the mountain top and
shows the opportunity. He makes
eyes Of the secretaries and the return
ing missionaries to see for the church
the great work and great opportunity.
