CONVENTION on Continued from First Pege.). silemt prayer and pray that exergy one ; might be made to know the jay of winning souls, and while the vast gathering was thus engaged the volep of Rew. De. Way- land Hoyt arose in a fervent appeal for the Same purpose. The inspiration of the mo- ment was shown. in the with which the multitude joined in singing “Throw Out the Life Line.” Haste, then, my brother, no. time for delay, But throw out the Life Line and save them today. Dr. Becktey announced that John W. Beckett, who had sung at Cleveland and Boston, was present, and would sing “Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me.” The large, fize- Tooking colored man who came forward was warmly welcomed, and sang in a hari~ |) tome voice of considerable power and with much expression. An Appeal for Missions, The unrolling of the missionary roll of honor was announced, and this pleasant duty fell to the share of Rev. Charles S. Lane of Mount Vernon, N. Y. The roll, which was merely unrolled figuratively, contained the names of the C. E. societies which had contributed to the home or for- eign missions of their own churches during the past year, and was 600 feet long. Mr. Lane made an impassioned speech in favor of missions and their support. He said the roll proved beyoné doubt that Christian Endeavor societies strengthened their mem- bers in their loyalty to their own. churches Instead of weakening. He pleaded for the systematic giving of aid to missions, and made a noticeably deep impression. The Hampton Octet again sang when Mr. Lane had finighed, rendering “Let the Heavenly Light Shine on Me” with excel- lent effect. The simple, homely words were given with such earnestness and such deli- cate meaning, that the entire congregation applauded enthusiastically until the sing- ers came again to the front. This time they sang “Roll, Jordan, Roll,” and the re- sponse was received with as many evi- dences of pleasure as the other had been. Dr. Beckley, in announcing that the night Program, which was to have been held in Tent Williston, would be held at the Metro- politan Church, said his attention had been called to the fact that there was not enough singing at this convention. “It is said the delegates do not sing on the streets or on the cars,” said Dr. Beck~ ley. “That has always been a great feat- ure at other conventions. Why don’t you sing on the streets, sing in the cars?” There was a hearty chorus: “We will,” in reply to this queation. Bishop Baldwin of Canada closed the meeting with an tmpassioned address upon the effects of Christian power. This power had been transmitted to us through the gospels by God, and its exercise was a duty we owed to Him beyond all else. TENP WASHINGTON. Am Additional Attraction tin the Ad- dress of President Whitman. It would not be expected that the En- deaverers would throng the tents early this merning, with the skies lowering and send- ing forth premonitory drippings. Those who started as early as & o'clock changed their minds before reaching the White Lot, and turned in somewhere for shelter when the rain came down in earnest. Many of them took refuge in the Armory head- quarters and passed away the time with a bit of interstate gossip. But the desire to seeure front seats at the great meetings was strong enough to draw many hundreds over into the mushy waste of grass on the ellipse and to lead them through the drip- ping entrances of the tents to the damp benches beyond. As yesterday morning, Tent Washington was the more desired of the two great inclosures. Tent Endeavor held forth special attractions while the rain was vigorous, from being nearer to the streets and the cars by about a hundred yards or so. Nashville in Evidence. By 9 o'clock there were only about 1,500 reople in Tent Washington, but the stream of in-comers was steadily growing larger. Those who had come early sat quietly and without displuying any of those signs of great enthusiasm that marked yesterday morning until at about ten minutes after 9 the Tennessee delegates, sitting near the frent, began to sing the “Nashville ‘Us ng. a mediey of “Dixte and “Yankee Motte "it breathed = good spirit of wel- President B.

There was a hearty round of hand-clapping, ami | the southerners began their other song, “Tennessee,” to the tune of “Amarica.” When there was quiet again some man in the crowd, inspired by a thought of the meisture of the past tew days, called out: “How's: the weather down there?” An en- thusiastic Nashville delegate shouted back: “Tt’s dryer than it is here.” Philadelphia Chipa In. Then ensved a remarkable rivalry. The Philadelphians, sitting in the north end of the tent, opened up with their song of in- vitation and welcome, ‘Come to Philadel- phia in 18¢8,"" sung to the tune of “John Brown's Body.” It was bright and catchy, and soon many others than the Quaker eity folks were sounding forth the strains of the famous old march. They put it through ail the verses about four times, and then the Nashville people, growing a bit jealous of the attention the Endeavor- ers from the city of brotherly love were at- tracting, started their medley aga without waiting for their rivals to cease: The two sangs did not harmonize very weil, but that mattered not, for there was a touch of C. E. politics in the effort, and the delegates wh were not rivals for the con- vention two years hence t the ef- forts of the two del keenly. For a few moments thera was a running fire of and chords, and then a fitting in very nicely with the rhythm of “The Red,, White and Biue,”” Formal Exercises Begin.

He said that it was a re- markable fact that of the country’s mil- lion and more of teachers fully three- fourths were women, and that most of these are deeply interested in Sunday school and Christian Endeavor movements. Miss Haus on the Junior Society. He introduced Miss Haus as a true rep- resentative of these women, and as fully ccmpetent to speak about “The Juntor C. E. Society.” Miss Haus said: What it is. The consecrated energy of the Christian Endeavorers, constantly em- ployed, in continually enjarging Christ's: encampment grounds with children exclu- sively, for Christ's exaltation and the chureh’s enrichment. This nineteenth century is one celebrat- ed for education, and commands excelfency im all departments, of Itfe, but careless about establishing alt things upon a Christ- ‘ke foundation of true excellence. A preacher of the Gospel said to some of the students at the bible Institute not long ago that the world was growing more hu- manitarian, but farther and farther away fram Christ; Icok at the present aims of our reformers and. see the truth of his statement. Educational and reform meas~ ures with Christ left out. Nated ministezs, so. called, are cutting to. Pleces the Bible, discarding some hooles, altering the teachings. of others, so ua to meet the opinions of the. world, and not the requirements of God. The consequence is that many af our young men and women. of today are reformers and well educaced. from the world’s standpoint, but not Chris- tlans or spiritually minded. The Senior C. E. must fight this cultured element of evil, and all Christless reform- ers, and in the Intermediate C. E. the youths must be taught to shun these evils and all other worldly allurements, and fol- low their older brothers and sisters to the cross of Christ, while to the Junior C. E. Rev. jis left the most important mission of all, n this, helping the little feet to become planted upon Christ for a foundation, that they nay learn to walk in the right direc- tion, and tenderly watched, guarded and guided, till they become: so firmly rooted and grounded in true Christ-like living that as they grow in years they muy pass. un- scathed through the confusion of tongues of this world and the many seemingly right, but cruelly false ways, and in Christ stand firm, against the world, the flesh and the devil. The child so planted and trained will never step out of the true Christian En- deavor path, for he will choose Christ early, follow Christ’s example, heed Christ's counsels exclusively, and live in Christ entirely, and thus compel esteem from saint and sinner, because he will carry effective warfare into the camp of the enemy. So the alm after all of every branch of C. E. work ts Christ's exaltation in character, life and nation. The membership of the Junior C.

Phe theme appeals to us in three phases. It is: 1. A method of revelation Man has never been left im ignorance of God. Successtve disclosures have been made of the divina character and will 4s men were able to receive it the divine pur- pose has been spelled out. Slowly, but } steadily, progress. has been made in the conception of truth. Instruments have been many, but their use has been one. Many forms have been followed, but the central idea has remained the same Moses looked to Jehovah as redeemer. The latest saint finds his faith satisfied by the same thought. Only in the fullness and clearness of the thought has there been change. The time came when the message could be delivered in completer form. “Ged, who at sundry times: and in divers manners spake in time past by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made tle worlds; who, veing the express image of His person and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had himself purged our sin, sat duwn on the right hand of the majesty on high; being so much better than the angels, as He hath obtained a more i excellent name than they.” Heb., 1:1-4 In this manifestation the tssue of all revela- tion was made clear. Then Emmanuel was. written in the beginning of the gospel in token that the fellowship which God had | offered and to which he called men was at last accomplished. Christ was but the culmination of revelation. In Him God made of Himself ¢ personal offering, 20 that men knew that He had accepted the lot of their life to the end that He might win them to His life and so abide with them forever. This is the theme of sacred writ from Genesis to the Gospels. fl. A principle of life. We have to consider: 1. The meeting point of the divine and the human life. The simplest outline of psychology will make this clear. Man ts partly physical and partly spiritual. The spiritual part is essentially the man. In the spiritual part wa find a fourfold function, intellect, sensi- bility, desire and volition. In this four-fold fenctton we have not four different things at work, but one thing working in four diferent ways. Intellect is the soul know- ing, sensibility is the soul feeling, desire is the soul craving, volition is the soul willing. The four functions are ciosely re- lated. Knowledge awakens responses in feeling of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Feeling passes into desire or aversion. On the basis of desire or aversion will is de- termined for attainment or avoidance. The step in the process of importance to us just now is that by which we pass from desire to will. Will never acts without de- sire in the form of motive. Motive is de- sire accepted as controlling. Unmotived volition is a contradiction of terms. Of course, the choice of motive is not without reason. It is no mere clamor of impulses, with ear given to the noisiest. It may be that the impulse weakest at the outset is found to have sanctions whtch authorize it to tdke precedence of all others. Once ac- cepted as controling, the desire or impulse becomes the motive, and will acts accord- tg to it. 3. A new impulse tmparted. by the touch ot God. One has only to regard man in his usual condition to see what is needed. His ltfe is dominated by wrong motives. The inherit- ‘ance into which man ia born is sinful, at Teast in tendency. Theology easity mistakes an inheritance of consequence for an in- herltance of penalty. But the simple, awful fact that faces every life ts that, whether as consequences or as penalty, tts tmpuises | are largely evi?. It ts beauttful to talk ahout developing the soul into the kingdom, but first we have to reckon with the stubborn fact that until the soul comes under the dominion of a new impulse it has no place in the kingdom, 3. The new impulse beeome regnant the source of new life. ‘We understand: now the importance of the law by which an impulse may become @ Rev. M. F. Trexel. principle. Choice may be so often repeated that a habit is fermed- On the basis of habit what we call second nature grows up. Second nature is simply the self that fs developed by choice, that has become Rabitual. Whether it is geed or evil de- pends upon the character of the choice. Under the touch of God a right impulse is imparted which is accepted as dominant, and which presently shapes the life, not without struggle. Impulse is not -xempt frem struggle regnant. Only at cost of continual struggle does it maingain mastery. Appetites and appetencies of an ungodly sort agsail it constantly. One has anly to read Romans to find the outline of the struggle in bis-awm life. FlesAiy impulses impel downward. Spiritual impulses impel. upward. God ar the devil—which shall the soul have? The man who makes his choice of God finds that the earthward impulses have lost dominion over him. With any Kind of faithfuimess the upward impulse grows in power. More. and more of life ts under thought every } and feeling is made subject te the. divine will, and the divine nature beeomes second nature. Henceforth the way of life lies slong the heights. From this It is easy to see how far the Rew life is from curtaflment, narrowness. Life is not limitation, ft is fulfiliment. Life is accomplishment of purpose. lization of self. Life ts healthful, harmo tous exercise of power. As long ago aa the great days of Greek thought men saw this, that the true good is the discharge of the functions of life healthfully and har-~ meniously. Christian revelation truer or better word: must not do. Of course, a man must not abuse his: power, or throw away opportuni- | ty, or forget God. Of course, if a man burns out his heart by passion his life will be a wreck. Of course, if a man vio- lates the laws of his betng ha wilt one day curse.to the hour ef his birth. A man may avoid aif these and still do and be rathing: What he needs is: to. know the secret of a new impuise that wild fill his life with mew affections and new purpose until he is. tri into the it in doubt, | for many thousands.

Dr. Fallows called the audience to aing “Scatter Sunshine” Be- fore the muste was begun Dr. Fallows said that as a curious coincidence he had just received a note saying: “Please announce to the delegates that the peaple of Wash- ington would like to hear the Christian En- deavorers ainging ‘Scatter Sunshine’ on our streets and in our cars, even though the skies may be ." This ratsed a hearty laugh, and, as if in promise to grant the petitien, the vast thremg sang the vVersea in magnificent style. Rev. Dr. Chapman's Address. Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman of Philadel- Dhia was the last speaker of the morning. His text was “Some Conditions of Success- ful Service.” He said: I bring a greeting to the representatives of the Christian Sndeavor Societies throughout the world, and salute you as young people redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ; called to a service which angels would like to do, and offered for qualification to make this work a con- spicuous success. And yet, with all the glorious outlook before us; with all our in- herfted qualities of greatness—if we have such an inheritance—no Christian Endeav- orer can ever be successful in the service of God until he has surrendered himgeif absolutely to God, for three things: 1 For the baptism with the Holy Ghost. This is every Christian's birthright, and if he did not receive it at his regeneration, God watts to bestow tt upon him when he will pay the price for it. The figure of bap- tism makes plain the way by which we may attain unto it. First, baptism is a definite thing. Ome may not know the time of his conversion, but he may know the time of his baptiam. And one may be @ Christian and not know the time of his conversion, but no maa can be a Christian with power until he has bad a definite ex- perience m the matter of surrendering to the Holy Ghost. Second. Baptism is a complete surrender- ing of one’s self to the administrator of the right, and thie all may know in the matter of one’s being baptized with the Holy Ghost, ard never until we have taken our souls and put them upon the altar before God may we expect to have God greatly use us. Third, baptism ts the death of self. This is the meaning of the figure. In the mark- ets of Jerusalem when meat is exposed for sale, the rabbi or his representatives exam- ines it carefully. and if he fimds thet all the life ts gone, he seals it with his seal. How like the work of the Holy Ghost this) is. We are told that we may be “sealed with ths spirit” But this will never come to us until the self-life is rendered dead and put beneath our feet. If these three steps are followed the blessing cannot but Bev. C. H. Mead. come. The manifestation of this blessing ean depend upon the individual, but if he has thus received the Holy Ghost he will witness first of all in his own home. In the early days is was said that the disciples wit- essed first at Jerusalem, then at Judea, ther in Samaria, then unto the uttermost parts of the earth. And God never calls a man to a higher position until he hes filled the lower one to overflowing. We never witness unto the uttermost parts of the earth until first of all we learn to show piety at home. 2 The second condition of successful ser- vice fs to be filled with the spirit. This ifustratton may be used inter~ ehangeably with that of the baptism, but the meaning is that after ome has surren- dered and been baptized with the Holy Ghost, he must by communton and fellow- ship with God keep himself all the time filled. But, in addtion to that, if one should consume spiritual power upor his own lusts, he would need to be filled again. Ef one should fail to glorify Christ, he must be refilled. If one should neglect to ebey Him he would lose his power and would need to come back again to the fountainhead, not for a baptism, but for an: infilling. 3. The third condition of sucessful _ser- vice is a special anointing of the Hoiy Ghost for every service we perform. This was what mads Pinney powerful; it is the secret of success fur every Christian worker, and no preacher ought to preach bis sermon, no singer ought to sing his hymn, no Sunday school teacher ought to teach his class, and no Christian Endeav- orer ought to do his work until first of all he be anointed with the spirit in waiting prayer for the special service he is to per- rm. Dr. Chapman caused his hearers to re- peat after him in the course of his remarks @ few verses of Scripture to emphasize his words. His talk aronsed great enthusiasm, and when, he closed his address he called upon his hearers to respond to the call for ® surrender to the Christian life, he asked everybody who felt the inspiration of the hour to rise. The vast audience stood upon their feet like a single person, and then Dr. Chapman prayed earnestly for a mo- ment. Had he not concluded his address in this manner there would doubtless have been a great demonstration in his honor, for his talk had evidently reached every heart in the tent. But he left the rostrum abruptly, and there was a perfect silence, that spoke more eloquently of his power than applause. This quiet was broken in a moment by an outburst of handclapping, as the familiar form of Mr. Sankey appeared. Me had been asked to close the services with @ song, and, assisted by M! Alice Kimball, he rendered “Saved by Grace,” prefacing it with a complimentary refer- ence to Miss Kimball's work three years ago, when he and Mr. Moody held their Rev. Asher Anderson. wonderful series of revival meetings at Convention: Hall. At the conclusion of the last verse Mr: Sankey prayed that the sen- timent of the song might become a reality .

Owing to the fall of Tent Williston, the big mecting, which was to have been held there this morning, took place at Central Hall. The attendance was not at all re- markable for size, but the crowd made up in enthusiasm whet tt lacked in numbers. It was evident that Endeavorers generally preferred to attend one of the larger meet- ings in the tents. President Clark was present at the Cen- tral Hall meeting, and conducted the exer- cises. A large section of the chorus was on hand, and the first half hour was devoted to a musical service, under the leadership of Mr. P. P. Bithorn of Chicago. It was not the least interesting part of the program, and under the direction of the magnetic teader, who is so popular with Christian Endeavorers everywhere, chorus and audi- ence sang their very best. A number of the ringing and catchy hymns, which form such a prominent feature in Christian Kn- deavor work, were rendered in a delightful manner. On the Small Attendance. When Dr. Clark edvanced to the stand to formally open the exercises he was greeted with euthusiastic applause, as he is every time he comes before en Endeavor audience. He expressed his deep regret that owing to @ misunderstanding no an- nouncements were made in the tents last evening of the proposed meeting at Cen- tral Hall, with the result that comparative- ly few knew of the change in the program. He said that he felt embarrassed at a ing speakers of such prominence to ad- dress such a small gathering, when they should have been talking to thousands. They had come long distances to attend this convention, and deserved a more gen- erous recéption, but the events which had led up to suck a condition of affairs were beyond human control, and he hoped that the audience would make up in quality what it might lack in quantity, The devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Adam Keoch of this city, and con- sisted of a scriptural reading and a number of brief prayers, the opening and closing by Mr. Keoch and the others one-minute pray- ers from volunteers in the audience. Rev. Dr. Dickinson’s Address. “The Latermediate Scciety of Christian Ecdeavor” was the subject of a schclarly peper by Rev. Chas. A. Dickinson, D.D., of Beston. In introducing the speaker Dr. Clark said that there were very few ques- ticrs of more importance to the Christian Endeavor movement than the preblem of the Intermediate Society, and that there is none better able to speak on this toptc than Dr. Dickinson, who was one of the earliest friends of the movement, and ts the pastor of one of the largest churches in Beston, in which there are three or four sceleties of Christian Endeavor, which have done a great deal toward solving the problem. Rev. Jol Neth Spenke. Dr. Dickinson’s address was followed by the singing of the hymn, “Marching Up- ward to Zion.” Dr. Clark then introduced Rev. John Neti of Toronto, Ont, to speak to the topie, “Every Talent for Christ.” Mr. Neil ts a charming speaker, and he had his audience under his sway before he had been speaking for five minutes. In commencing, he said that as for himself he was not so sorry as Dr. Clark seemed to be because the audience was not larger, for in Canada preachers are net accustomed to address such gatherings as he had seen at this convention. The crowd before him was all he cared for. Furthermore, he thought that those who had gone to the tents had a monopoly of the heat which he, fur one, was perfectly willing to dis- pense with. Then Mr. Neil went on to ex- pound his views on the subject asigned to him, saying, in part: The King’s Business. After the singing of a hymn by the choru: Rev. Cortland Myers of Brooklyn, N. Y., was introduced to speak upon the sub- ject, “The King’s Business.” “The message from the heavenly throne that I would bring you this morning,” he said, in commencing his talk, “is this, that the business of our King requires haste. I would draw these lines under this: First, because of the King Himself, bec “Twelve millions of men were sacrificed to make the nation of the Caesars. Millions were destroyed in Napoleon's raids over Europe. Thousands today would rise at a word from the czar, while other thousands are ready to do the bidding of the Emperor of Germany or the Queen of England. “Compare our King with such potentates as the czar and the kaiser, and tell me if such devotion is shown to earthly rulers, what should we not do for our heavenly King? What should we do? We should render Him implicit and immediate obedi- ence. What we need above all today is a theology of obedience. 1 tell you what it is, the Pope of Rome or the commander-in- chief of the Salvation Army ts given more devoted loyalty than is given to the Lord our master. . “In his noble poem of the Six Hundred, Tennyson has told us that it was: ““Thefrs not to reason why; Theirs but to do and die.” The Missionary Roll. Rev. J. W. Weddill of Philadelphia was then introduced to “‘unroll the missionary rell of honor.” It was actually present, end Mr. Waddill explained that upon it are enrolled the names of §,200 societies, that have given to missions during the pest year more than $150,000 and Sa0,00) to. other forms of Christian work. ‘Dr. Clark annourced that Tent Williston was being erected and would surely be in place for the junior rally tomorrow morn- rg, but 10t fn time for the meeting thts evening, which wif be held instead at Metropolitan M. E. Church. Mr. Bilhorn sang, with one of his own hymns, “ s the was dismisse¢ after which meeting wth the Christian Endeavor benediction, lendid effect, Peace,”
