Delivers Strong Address Be fort the Meeting of the American liUsion ary AssociaticnAjnerica'i Duty to Rzise to a Higher State of Chris tianity Net Only the Negro, But the Hordes of Foreigners Who Be come American Citiiens Each Year. Cleveland, O., Special. The rais ing to a higher state in the Christian world not .inly the negro race but the hordes of foreigners who become Ameiican citzens taHi y-ar formed the principal topic of discussion be fore the American Missionary Asso ciation at the serious of the trien nial council of the Congregational church. Notable addrees were delivered by .Justice Da id .?. Brewer, on hie importance of the American mission ary work to the nation: by Bishop C. B. (lalloway. of Mississippi, on the Christian education of the negro and by former Covert. or W. J. Northern, of (Jcorgia, who told of the work of the Chri-tian League of (Jeorgia, an organization in that State which is composed of members of both races and has done much to lessen crime. Justice Brewer's Address. Justice Brewer spoke in part, as follows : ''The uplift through Christian edu cation is the principal work of tin American Missionary Association. True, they are not the only objects of its interest and care. All the des pised races in our borders are includ ed. I have myself done a little prcaehing from the bench of the Su preme Court on the duty of Christian America to the heathen Chinese. What I said made but slight impres sion on the courts, but it will yet be heard and heeded by the great body of American Christians. But t lie numbers of the colored people so sur pass those of all the others and theii relations to the nation are so pecu liar that not unnaturally we look earnestly upon the work w tke asso ciation among the colored people. And their vast numbers attest the value oi this work to the nation. Surely any thing which is uplifting one-ninth of our population must be of profound interest to all. Firm Believers in Social Order. "Many of the vast multitudes pouring into this republic are racially blooded and selfish. Not a few come tainted with the spirit of anarchy and are willing to destroy all social order in the hope of personal gain out of the wreck. These immigrants become citizens as we are citizens and as is this colored and enfranchis ed race. And while the colored broth ers may be too fond of the chicken coop and the watermelon patch, they are firm believers in social order. You will find no Johann Most, Emma Goldman, Czolgosz, or Guiteau among them. In the struggle which may be expected to come between or der and anarchy, may it not be that these people, grateful to the nation for their liberty and to the good peo ple of the land for their uplift in knowledge, purity and social standing, prove themselves a mighty force, up holding law, order and the supremacy of the nation? Stranger things have happened than that these people, crushed and wronged for generations, should become at last strong defend ers of the nation and the community at whose hands they have hitherto re ceived justice. "They are here as citizens. What ever temporary restrictions may be placed upon their approach to the ballot box the time wall come when all barriers will be broken down and they will enjoy everywhere the full rights of citizenship. "One of our first tasks is that of multiplying skilled workers. It is one thing to pick cotton or hoe pota toes and something more valuable to make a watch or run an engine. The skilled laborer is worth more to the nation than the unskilled, and the industrial training at Hampton, Tus kegee and elsewhere is creating a higher, class of laborers in the midil of this people."

If Mr. Thomas wants to tight the calling r if of the stiike let him do so. I am k'oing to that meeting with bra:?.; knuckles. Generally labor leaders ad vise each other to disregard the suf ferings of their men when a strike is cm, but I will not do that to the very last ditch. We might hold out a. couple of weeks longer on nothing by encouraging talk but the re suit would be that the men of the weak er eharacttYs would be slowly retain ing to work Wii.ie the stronger men would hold out and suffer t!ie rmsi just because they were the mo.-t staunch. There would not be any union left." "What if the locals decline to call it off?" he was asked. " Well there will be nothing to do but to kep up the fight as long as they .an, but it will be up to them to provide funds. The strike was ii regular from the beginning." "Then the strike is hopeless and it might as well be abandoned?" "That is it," replied Mr. Small.
