New Yorx, July 8, 1892. Those who came over to New York on the Christian Endeavor special, which left Washington early Thursday morn- ing, had good reason to congratulate them- selves that they took this particular train. From the time the train pulled out of the sta- tion at Washington until {t landed the party at Jersey City the trip was a succession of pleas- ant experiences which the Christian Endeavor delegates will Jong remember. The arrange- munication was kept up throughout the train. A handshaking party of about twenty, headed by Mr. Foster, president of the union, went from car to car and gavea friendly grasp of the hand to all as they pessed through. Another party went through the train car to sing a verse of some jar C. E. hymn. At Philadelphia, during the there for change of crew a prayer and ‘was held in the rear car of the train. ‘The following committees were appointed by the president of the union to look ‘the in- terests of the party during the convention: Prayer meeting committee—W. H. Lewis, | chairman; W. H. H. Smith, A. D. Spangler, | Miss Ella Chase, Miss Mary Emmart. Social committee—W. R. Beisel, chairman; Harry 8. Ayer, Miss L. G. Jarboe, Norman T. rt, B. Robison, J. A.

Boarding the elevated railroad they were quickly carried to the Hotel Ven- », the, District headquarters. On their arrival the registration of delegates took place and the admitting the wearer to the convention hall were distributed. By the time this was concluded it wae 2:30, which was the time set for the opening of the great con- vention. od DISTRICT DELEGATES SHUT OUT. No one as yet had been to dinner, but in spite of this fact nearly all of the delegates made their way as quick«y as possible to Madi- son Square Garden only to find that every seat wos taken and all the standing room was filled, d that they would be unable to get into the hail. Quite a number, however, gained admit- later, but asa delegation from the Dis- ndeavorers were not present at the open- ing session. In the evening, however, the en- tire party was in attendance. The delegation is comfortably situated, and there is every prospect of a pleasant and profit- able stay in the great metropolis, The following bave jo ined the party since its arrival; Miss G. B. Johnson, Rev. Geo. C. Woodruff. Rev. G. W. Moore and Rev. Mr. Tol- liver. WHAT A STUPRXDOUS GATHERING IT 18, As Chairman McEwen of the committe of "92 | said, in his opening remarke at the Thureday evening session of the convention, ‘It was hard work to get the newspaper men, the hotel kee ers and the people of New York to realize what a stupendous gathering this eleventh annual Christian Endeavor convention was to be.”” Now the fullest realization of its immense | proportions has come upon them and the sud- | denness of this realization has only served to i increase its effect. The factof the matter is that New York is surprised and don't know just what to think of the whole matter. That thousands upon thousands of Christian people should come together from all parts of | the United States and Canada and from foreign lands as well, with one word on their lips and one thought and purpose in their lives, to work for Christ and the church, is a fact which makes | even the busy, bustling New Yorker «top and wonder what it all means. All day today in the vieinity of the Madison Square Garden und throughout the hotel district the streets have deen filled with young people wearing the Endeavor Society. . The . The badge offthe Christian number of those in daily attendance on the meetings is far ia excess of the highest estimate of the committee. Several hundred delegates have returned to their homes, being unable to secure quarters.

It is not to be supposed for one instant that this immense throng can be seated in the convention hall.
