ADDRESS OF WELCO"lIE. 13•ADDRESSES .I.ADDRESS OF WELCOME.BY PRESIDENT W. F. WARREN, D. D., LL. D.Mr. President and B"etlvren oj the <strong>Missionary</strong> Alliance:To me is assigned the pleasant duty of welcoming you to thisgoodly city and to the goodly fellowships which you have come hither toenjoy. Ther e are many in whose name I must speak; and that I maybegin with the least and proceed to the greater, you must allow me,first of all, to greet and welcome you in my own name as a brother inthe kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ. And that you may knowhow genuinely glad I am to look in your faces, and may know thenature of the right which I feel I have to give you a personal welcome,I seem compelled to allude to a fact, of which under othor circumstancesI should be slow to speak in any public manner.

And now, because I know of this, I delightin you who are learnIng to look unflinchingly toward the samesupreme test, and in the name of an elder brother, I take you to myheart and say: Welcome, blessed are ye that come in the name of theLord.Pardon this personai word. I have spok en it only in the hope thatit may give to each of the other words I may speak, a deeper significanceand a more genuine heartiness of meaning. And now, assuming a morerepresentative character, I proceed to welcome you in the name of theofficers and students of our Boston University School of Theology.It will be of interest to you to learn that this school may properlybe called It child of one notable missionary, and the grandchild of an-
