President Woodworth said. in mart.

President WoodWorth said, in part:
 The great missionary societies. we sometimes forget, are doing a. great national work to-day. They are play- ing very important part in the de- Yelopment of this nation Were we to leave out what has been done by vari- ous ones of the missionary societies the story of the west would be very differ ent from what it is now. Were we to leave out what that association has done in the southland the story of the south would be a very different one. These very missionary societies are among the most effective forces work ing for the development of higher ideals in the national life, and it seems to me that we as Congregationalists have a just right to be proud of what our association has done.
 The record of the HomA Missionary society in the west and southwest is a noble one, and the work it has been doing for the uplifting of the colored race in the south is one we can feel proud of We are a generous people. too, but we are sometimes apt to be more generous to things not our own, It was Methodist bishop who said that the Congregationalists had done more than any other denomination for the solution of the race problem and the uplifting of the colored race It is well for us to remember that.
 This association is our organiza tion for doing great national work for in- suring that these people shall be fitting people to be an integral pert of this land of ours. Especially is this true in the south, This association is organ ized Congregationalists solving the greatest problem of the country to-day.
 There are three great problems press ing for solution in this country to-day -the problem of the city, the problem of the immigrant and the problem of the negro. Of these the latter is of the gretest importance by far. The associ- alton has at work on this problem d strong force. There are in the south some sixty schools and 400 teachers, with 15,O00 pupils. The colored race is responding to this impulse nobly.
 There Ire two phases of this race problem-frst, it's inter-raeial aspect, and, second, the development of the colored people themselves. This is the greater problem of the two, The bet ter element of the white race in the south is coming to realize the value or the work being done by the association and is interesting itself in forwarding that work.
 l am bold enough to say that know the solution of the inter-racial prob lem, because I believe in God and in those great principles which were an-

nunciated by Jesus Christ our Lord and set forth by the apostle Paul in first Corinthians, 13;1. When@the black men and white men have learned to live up to these principles every racial difficult ty will have passed away
 President Woodwork then went on to speak of the increased economic value of the colored man to the nation resulting from the work of the associa- ton which is elevating him intellectu- ally socially, politically and morally, until to-day he is no longer simply 8 menial, a mere mechanical machine, but is an intelligent fellow-being.

REV. MIR. RROCTOR,S ADDRESS.
 The Rev. H. II. Proctor, vice crcsi-
 dent of the National Congregational
 council spoke at Plymouth church. His
 theme was grhe New Reconstruction.
 or the Third Day"
 In substance he said The race ques-
 ton in the south is ever shifting fn. its
 phases of the southern situation is the
 hnest endorsement ever made of the
 work of the American Missionary asso- ] citation. Itis all the more so because it
 IS unconscious and unintended.
 There have been three movements at
 reconstruction in the south The arst
 just after the war failed because it ] locked cooperation of the southern white men. Twenty years ago there
 was another attempt at reconstruction when Grady sung of the new south:
 that effort failed because it locked the
 cooperation of the black men. To-day
 there is another; it is reactionary movement from the recent atrocities
 that have been enacted in the south;
 good men are being shaken from their lethargy into positive constructive moral effort to readjust the relation be-
 tween the races. This movement will
 succeed; It originated with the southern white man himself and cnntemolates the full cooperation of the negro.
 In all other schemes projected by the southern white man for the solution of the question on southern soil there has
 been no place for the educated colored man; he has been puzzle; he has been regarded as d mischiefmaker; and some have said that he had better get out. But in this reconstructiv enovement the educated negro leader is a necessity. There can be no cooperation on the par tof the whites with the blacks ex- cept through the negro leaders.
 This is exactly the work that the American Missionary association mark ed out for itself from the beginning- to provide trained leaders for this peo- pie. Twenty out of the Twenty-Five members of the executive committee of the Colored Cooperative Civic league of Atlanta were trained in schools es- tablished in the south by northern be- neficence. The reconstructive move ments instituted in Atlanta are destin- ed to spread all over the south, and their success will be in proportion to the wise and well-trained colored lead CTS who will be called upon to cooper ate with the progressive white men who are coming to the fore in the new era that is dawning for the southland. The next ten years will be more important in the history of the colored race than the last thirty; the negro leaders will be on trial as never before; the work of the American Missionary association and similar schools will meet their su- preme test in the coming decade.
 The latest development of the south ern situation is a vindication of the work of the association and demand for increase effort in the future. Along the lines of the statesmanlike concep- tion of the association the problem is bina worked out, and in the moment of victory it cannot retreat from the of it's own wisdom. The call of the association for $250,000 should l be more than met, For the long expect ed victory is almost in sight!

have taken an identity of their own, like Hampton in Virginia and Atlantic In Georgia. But we still have our sev- en higher institutions, as we call them. wish they were higher than they are. out of l5,OO0 pupils in our schools we have only 150 who are taking college grade studies, that is all, in the schools that are under the American Mission ary association, including Fisk univer- sity and TalIadega college. But we have farms and shops, and iron-work- ing and wood working, and sewing and nurse-training and domestic science, and all those things that pertain to the development of life. In some way it is thought that these matters have been appropriated in certain schools outside the range of our work. We have new superintendent of educa- ton in the south who is an expert on the relation of industrial training to education, as well as professor in philosophy and psychology, when We called him to our work-a young man of thirty-four, a trained man in peda- gogy as well as in philosophy and psy- chology, who is going to develop the work along all these broad lines. We believe our schools are advancing more and more to meet the requirements of the occasion. But in order to do this we must have more money for their de- yelopment in these more extensive de- partments of study, and it is for this that We plead.
 There is this intrinsic association of missions and money. Money we must have, and it may be transmitted by the process of influence and use into the very highest powers and results through such agencies as we are attempting to support.

 When it comes to our work for our white brethren in the south, there, up in the mountains, we have done our 1 little work and gradually we are reach- ing down to help those who are poor

 But We must keep to the forefront as We have always had at the front, our work for the black man, These letters which I have repeated, "A M, A" have meant much for the black people of the south. There have been times when they have felt there that they 1 had no friends, and yet when they have

 These are all the words that I may speak tonight. The American Mission ary association went south as rapidly
 as the advancing armies of the north
 would permit. We had our crude
 schools for a good many years among those crude people. Soon after the war
 we organized our system of schools
 with regularity, seeking to put into each state leading institution and to place round it in different parts of the state other schools that might be help ful to the development of young people that should aspire to the more advanc- ed studies. We covered the south with network of schools in that way. Some Of them have gone from us and have formed associations of their own. They

SQUANDERED STOLEN CASH,
Girl EmbezzIer of Church Funds Con
fesses She Spent Money FooIishIy.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Feb. 25.-The

to Treasurer Helen Dixon, was dissi-
pated in extravaganza in expenditures
by herself. This was admitted by
Miss Dixon, when. for the first time
since her arrest, she talked freely
about her case at the home of friend
Although i'll and hardly able to speak
above a whisper, she admitted that the
money the church placed in her Gus
tody had slipped through her fingers
in some manner for her personal de-
sires and with little help from out
siders
Miss Dixon was asked when she first
commenced to spend the money turn
ed over to her by the Cleaners So
ciety. She replied that she did not
know the exact time, but she long ago
realized that she would be found out
some time and that she had worried
deeply about it.
She referred to her brother in the
course of the interview, and her
friends corroborated her story, stating
that he tramped the country and would
show up at unexpected times and ask
her for money
