ENDEAVORERS IN SES SION. ‘The Convention of the District of Columbia Christian Endeavor Societies at the Con: gregational Church Today—Interesting Proceedings. Most people know the meaning of the word It suggests iife and action and hustle and general get-thereness. For this | reason the word has been appropriately | selected by such organization as the Christian Endeavor Union of this city. The opening session of the first convention of | that body was held this mcrning in the First Congregatioual Church, and an audience was assembled there of a character that was worthy | of the 4,500 members of the Christian Endeavor societies in this city. All the Christian £n- deavorers, however, were not present at the opening session, and if they hed been the church, large as it is, would have been entirely inadequate to accommodate the throng. But during the sessions today and tomorrow and on Sunday the entire membership will put in an appearance and help to keep the Eu- deavor ball a-rolling at the rapid rate which was set at the opening session this morning. There was fine audience present when the convention was called to order at 10:30 this morniug. Not many gray hairs, but still a few; not many old and wrinkled faces, but one here ‘and there. he great ma- jority of thove present were young and full of and, it might be said, the great majority women, but only the same percentage in this latter particular as may be noticed in any re- ligious assemblage. Young men at the door to greet you, young men distributing singin books and acting as ushers, young men on the platform; in fact, young men to the front. ey were seconded by the young women, andas the fence was one mainly of young people, the exercises were permeated with spirit of youth as far as that is synonymona with prompt, earnest action. There were no long speeches and therefore no dull ones. THEY KNOW HOW TO Everybody was supposed to bring “G. HL, No. 6,” and those that did not were supplied | with acopy when they entered the church. The conse e was that everybody sang and | the war they carried the volume of song along | on the waves of melody showed that the En- | deavorersare upin siz.ging. Most of the members wore the bine badge of the society and at the | jtop of the p m was their motto, “For ristand the Church.” The committee in ebarge of the arrangements for the convention ad given a t ‘4 of ornamentation to the plat- yf pubpegremengnestism est ity | pla They were wel! out of the way, how- | ever, and with the decks cleared for action the first convention of the organization made a| most auspicious start. ‘THE CONVENTION OPENED. ention was opened with devotional exercises, conducted by the president of the | union, Mr. Percy 8. Foster. ‘The singing was | led by the organ, which was played by Miss | Alice Kimball and the precentor, Mr. J. A. | Kose. As the volume of sound arose and filled | the great auditorium it was not difficult to de- The | ena then a period of silent prayer followed. | Finally the solemn silence was broken by a | voice here and there throughout the audience | as earnest petitions were offered for God's bless- ing and presence. After singing again the de- votional exercises were brought to a close. It was explained that Rev. Dr. Newman, the tor of the First Congregational Church, bad in- | tended to be present and deliver a few words of | welcome. But he was prevented by sickness, land hia assistant, Rev. Mr. Fishburn, was also | unable to attend the session owing to a pastoral engagement. The president, therefore, called upon Rev. C. H. Sewall, the pastor of the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church, the child, as it was stated, of the First Church. ‘REY. MR. SEWALL'S WELCOME. “Three times and out,” remarked Mr. Sewall, as he stepped to the front, was the rule when he wasa boy,and in this case he seemed to be in the third place. However, he said that he was | to attend an endeavor meeting in any capacity | He was a member of the society and he believetl | that every pastor should be @ member and have @ society in bis church. In the course of some earnest remarks in regard to the work carried on by the society and the [importance of earnest, energetic work he | told several amusing stories, which the En-| deavorers enjoyed very much, and the laughter | | that ran through the ‘audience was of that free jand unrestrained character which indicates that there is nothing incompatible with a jolly lang and a profession of religion. ! THE PARROT AS A DETECTIVE. One of Mr. Sewa’s stories was about a par- | rot, a wonderful one, he was careful to add, and from that fact necessarily a resident of | Chicago. Itseems that the slumbers of the | | bird were disturbed one night by the movements | of burglars who had entered the house. The | parrot felt that something was going on that he | could not quite manage, and so, imitating what | he had often seen his mistress do, he touched | |with his claw an electric button and | |the servants responded to the call, | jsurprised and captured the burglars. | {So without wishing the application to. be | carried too far the speaker expressed the | hope that he might touch a button in the dark | | and let some of the servants of God know of the | | need of active work in the cause of Christ. He | then of the stimulus to Christian workers that came from such an organization and com- mended ite work. MK. FISHBACK'S WARM WORDS. On the part of the society of the church | | earnest. hearty words of welcome were uttered by the president, Mr. Fred L. Fishback, who sasared the visitors that they were welcome to | the church, and the hope was expressed that | taey would feel entirely at home. An appro- | priate response to the address of welcome was Uclivered by Rev. E. Ik Bagby, pastor of the | Ninth Street Christian Church,’ who, like Rev. | Mr. Sewall, is '@ member of the organization, He also is like Mr. Sewall and other members of the convention in being young. His address was sprinkled with illustrations and bright sayings, which his audience enjoyed very much. After expressing in behalf of the union appreciation for the words of welcome to the church, Mr. Bagby «poke of the movement represented by the endeavor society ax being in the line of co- operation of pastors and people to advance the | cause of Christ. His speech was characterized by the hopeful spirit of the young,and as he re- viewed the field opento Christian endeavor he grew eloquent as he spoke of the oppor. tunities that were presented. The world, he taid, was growing better instead of worse ‘and the epread of the gospel of Christ was meeting with many triumphs. THE EXTRA STAR HEARD. | During the address the cries of the boys call- | ing the extra Stam in the street were heard in the church. The audience, however, remained quiet, but several of the extras were procured and the news of Blaine’s death was communi- cated to President Foster. When the speaker | | had finished Mr. Fostor conveyed the sad in- | telligence to the xudience andsuggested that the | members o the aitficted family be remembered | in the prayers of those who took part in the | subsequent proceedings. | ‘The program was resumed and a solo was ex- cellently rendered by Mr. W. A. Wells, Then followed characteristic endeavor feature, | nameiy, © discussion in which speeches were limited to a minute or two. BRIEF FIVE-MINUTE TALKS. ‘There is lots of go about a discussion of this character and people thst can’t talk to the point are not in it at ail. The topic talked about was | re C. E. methods adaptable to the regular | church services?” ‘This was explained by Presi- dent Foster tohave reference to the weekly prayer meetings, and he was of the opinion | that more life could be injected into | these services if the “sisters” could |be heard from. Then he gave way and | the discussion went on, men and women jum) ing up in all parts of the room. Some thought that prayers and remarks were too long. others thought that they ought to be more epontane- dhe efcacy of short talks, aad all the epsskers jeacy of short talks, a speakers agreed that the young people ought to have a part in these services. was a general opinion Christian Endeavor methods would improve the average church crowd at this convention correct him if he politician who answered a like question by terest. movement in the District of Columbii in keeping with its growth in ail parts of the understood. Prior to the fort 2o’clock. A prayer and praise service was conducted by Miss Ella C. Lyman. At the close the report of the secretary, Miss Ella M. Chase, was presented and the interesting re- sume of facts contained in itare substantially given in the sketch of the organizatign which sppears in another column, President Foater was down for the annual ad- dress and he performed that duty with bis cus- tomary attention to the fact that itis not always the function of a public speaker to put an au- dience to sleep. He said that we are living in a new era. Spir- ituality and Christian effort on the part of the young men and young women of our time are taking the place of thoughtlessness, worldliness and frivolity. Our union was organized No- vember 15, 1889, with some twenty-two « ties ori the roll. From year to year, inspired by @ desire to know how and to perform the work of our one Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, we have continued to grow both in numbers and in influence. The organiza- | tion has done as much as much as any other one Institution to break down the fence which at many points is both high and thick between the various denominations, causing them, how- ever, to none the less be loyal and devoted to her own individual denomination, but to see and to magnify those things which we hold in common in our Savior. In the language of another: “If one is your master, even Christ, then all ye are brethren.” In the first report of the first mass meeting of our union one of the pastors stated that he had been born three times—once in 183%, second time in 1850, when he received the new birth in Christ, and the third time when he formed a Christian Endeavor Society. Said he: ‘I date my present youth from my inet birth. Tt hae nm the happiest period fe siy pastorate. If We do not all feel we can join the Society of Christian Endeavor we can at least join the army of Christians who endeavor. In all of our work we have attempted to emphasize tho true €. E. principles—(1) personal devotion to our Divine Lord and Master; (2) covenant oblign- tions; (2) individual service: (4) denominational loyalty; (5) interdenominational fellowship, or, to express it in another way: Y.—Youth; P.— ration; Service; C.—Consecration; ¥.—Enthusiasm. WORK AMONG THE YOUNG. Our efforts are for broad work of enthusing and inspiring young Christians to definite service. As Wooley sa: ‘A Christion is a citizen of the parish of everywhere, neighbor to everybody, stranger to nobody, brother of | anybody. You are the light of the world—not of the first ward.” Of course some of our efforts are necessarily feeble because we nre a training school; we sometimes find ourselves in the predicament of the preacher who, on being unexpectedly called upon to address ‘a gathering, made this play upon the letters C. constantly exeited and | confoundedly embarrassed.

ITs RAPID GRowr! The rapid growth of the Christian Endeavor is only country where its principles and motivi ion of Ch Endeavor societies voung people's societies were found in most of the city churches, which facilitated the growth of the Christian Endeavor. Tho Srst society to organize in the District of Columbia was that of Lincoln Memorial Cou- gregational Church, November 9, 1885, No other societies were formed until 1887, when Unity Presbyterian, Metropolitan, Bap tist, Western Presbyterian, Fifth Congrega- tional, Covenant Presbyterian and First Pres- byterian organized. During 1888 twelve more were organized: E Street Baptist, Metropolitan Presbyterian, North Presbyterian, Luther Memorial, Central Presbyterian,’ Central | Methodist Protestant, Kendall Baptist, Gurley | Memorial Presbyterian, Mount Pleasant Con- gregational, Ryland “Methodist Episcopal, Congress Street Methodist Protestant and Eastern Presbyterian, in the order named. | During 1889, when ‘the District Union was formed, five mote societies were organized, as follows: First. Congregational, Tabernacle Congregational, Plymouth Congregational, Wesley Methodist Episcopal and” Union Methodist Episcopal. “In the summer of | S59 the ‘Kendall Y. P. 8. C. E, planned and | carried ont a moonlight excursion for the Christrian Endeavorera of the District and a | committee was here appointed to consider the matter of a District union and to report in the near future with place of organization, But in October of the same year the Y. P. S.C. E. of | the Church of the Covenant, not knowing of the steps already taken, issued a call for a mect- ing at theit church to consider the organiza. tion of a District nnion. Speeches were ma by several city pastors, and the committee ap jointed on the excursion repotted as to what ad been done. It was considered advisable to | journ toa future meeting to hear and act upon a full report of this committee. ‘The next meeting was held in the First Congrega- ional Church November 15, 1899, and ths or- ganization of the Districtiof Columbia Chris- tian Endeavor Union was perfected, all of the above named twenty-three societies’ joining in the organization. THE Finst oFricens. ‘The officers elected were as follows: Prosi-- dent, Mr. W. H. H. Smith; vice presidents, Rey. C. H. Butler and Miss Marjorie Warner; secretary. Mr. E. M. Hail, and treasurer, Mr. E. 'T. Fenwick. Since the organization a largo number of mass meetings have been held in tho various city churches. Thirty-two senior aud nineteen junior societies Lave been organized, making a total of ty-four societies con- nected with the union, fifty-five of which are seniors and nineteen of which are juniors. Of these the Presbyterians lead with twenty-five, then follow the Baptists with fourteen, the Congregationalists with ten, the A. M. E. with six, Christian with five, the Methodist Protestants and Methodist Episcopalians with four each and the Lutherans with three, while Takoma Park has two and the army, navy and marine corps one union society. The total membership at the present time is about 4,500. From November 1, 1891, to November 1, 1892, 130 associate members were brought to’ make the good confession and 190 outside of C. E. societies were brought to Christ through the agency of Christian Endeavor. On November 17, 1892, junior union was formed auxiliary to the D. C.°C. E. Union, with Mr. T. J. Glover as president, with 17 societies and 580 members. ‘The officers of the union areas followa: Perey 8. Foster, president, First Baptist Church; John B, Sleman, jr... first vice president, Mt.

If Charles Schneider, burglar, ba‘l lived con- temporaneously with Sir Wilfred ot ivanhoe he would doubtless have been as courteous @ | knight as ever robbed a wayfarer under shadow of his own castle walls. Schneider was bound over for examination before the grand jury in £800 bonds after a preliminary hearing in the Lake View police court yesterday morning for burglary of © remarkable kind. Monday afternoon Schneider entered Mrs. E. Handrey’s chamber at No. 1203 Wrightwood avenue, and was busily engaged in pillaging the dressing case when the housekeeper appeared. “Who are you, sir, and what right have you to be here?” ‘asked Mra, Handrey, with a ood deal of composure, yet looking anxiously t the jewel case. The robber was nonplussed for a moment, but soon recovered his senses and seized Mrs. Handrey’s arm, saying as he did so ina tone of great suavity: i “Why, my dear madame, I regret your inter- ference.’ If you make an’ outery I shall be compelled to choke yon into silence. Indeed, I may be obliged to kill you. Pray, be calm and make no disturbance.” “What do you want, sir?” repeated Mrs, Handrey. “All ‘the jewels there are in the house, madame, and all the money, if you have any.” Mrs, Handrey cast her eyes over the articles Schneider had already laid aside for his portion and said: “You have found all there is, but I should like to make one reqaest of you, please.” ‘o be sure, madame,” replied the burglar with a bow. “What is 2 “Please leave a few bits of jewelry, for every article there but one was given to me by my mother, who is dead. “Allow me,” and the burglar, with a flourish, handed to her all the jewels he had taken. ‘i will respect madame’s wish in the matter. I had a mother myself. You may retain your souvenirs. Good-day, madame.” ‘Mrs, Handrey wax not to be outdone in gal- lantry. Hastily selecting a small scarf pin she said: “Please accept this for your kind- aaa” “Tean't do it,” said the man; whereupon he made a low bow and an exit. Emerging into the alley he walked away, as if expecting no farther annovance. But’ Mrs, Handrey soon recovered and gave the alarm. A man named Bethke caught and held Schneider until officers tock him in custody and placed him in a cell at the Shefiield avenue station, °- T IN EGGS. NUTRIMEN Their Value as a Food and Their Use in Certain Diseases, From the Germantown Telegraph. Six large eggs will weigh about a pound. Asn flesh producer one pound of eggs is equal to one pound of beef. About one-third of the weight of an egg is solid nutriment, which is more than can be said of meat. There are no bones and tough pieces that have to be laid aside. Practically an egg is animal food and yet there is none of the disagreeable work of the butcher necessary to obtain it. Eggs at average prices are among the cheapest and most nutritious articles of diet. Like milk, an egg is complete food in itself, containing everything necessary for the development of a perfect animal. It is also easily digested, if not damaged in cooking. Indeed, there is ‘no more concentrated and nourishing food than eggs. ‘The albumen, oil and saline matter are, as in milk, in the right proportion for sustaining animal life. ‘The valuable or important salts are contained in the yolk, and hence this por tion of the egg is most usefal in some forms of disease. A weakly person, in whom nerve force is deficient and the blood impoverished, may take the yolk of egg with advantage. The iron and phosphoric compounds are in a condition to be easily assimilated, and although bomeo- thic in quantity, nevertheless exert a marked influence on the system. ‘The yolks of eggs, containing, as they do, less albumen, are not so injuriously affected by heat as the whites, and a hard-boiled yolk may be usually eaten ‘by valids without inconvenienc co ‘The Penalty of Heedlessness.

Thearmy stood in the presence of death, silent with horror. ‘The condemned man, pale but resolute, had taken his place beside the cofin which was to hold his mortal clay, facing the firing squad.

From the Bostou Giobe. A story of one of the rural members is being told about the state house. It was after Wed- nesday’s session, when the member referred to approached the speaker with diftidenee and more or jess timidity. Speaker Barrett was busy talking to friends, and as he was about to go to his room a voice said to him in tremulous tones: ‘Mr. Speaker, I'd like to go home.” Turning around Mr. Barrett saw before him his rural friend, and, with his characteristic smile, said: Vell, Mr. Blank, if I were you I'd go.” The new member had evidently been reading rule 17 of the house, which sayg that no mem- ber shall absent himself without leave unléss there be a quorum without his presence. A Morazns Story. “When my boy was2ig years of age a fall brought on hip disease, which gradually grew worse until, when he was, he could not walk and we had him treated 9 months at the Children’s Hospital in Bos- ton. But when became home he was worse and the doctors said NOTHING COULD BE DONE. I began giving him HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA And he improved atonce.

From the Boston Herald. Sir Edward W. Watkin, a railroad »president and r of England, has found that the financial features of the Eiffel tower—that is, ‘the amount of income derived therefrom— justifies the ‘construction of a similar edifice in London, and bas made the contracts for a steel_tower to be erected in one of the parks of London, this to have a height, including the base, of over 1,300 fect. ‘The tower part proper will be over 150 feet higher than the Eiffel tower, and the construction will vary ina num- ber of respects from that notable structure. Asan income-earning investment the Eiffel tower has proved a wonderful success. Every stranger who has during the last two or three years visited Paris has considered hia stay in- complete if he bas not ascended to the top of that monument, and the view afforded from that clevation’ has certainly justified the trouble and expense. There is little doubt, in ite of the more cloudy and foggy atmos- phere of London, that a high tower there will command a large patronage, and it is not im- probable that structures of a similar kind in | sevornl of our great American cities would pay largely on the cost of building them.
