INTEREST MANIFESTED GREAT Topics Intelligently Treated by Earnest Leaders. GENERALLY WELL ATTENDED The last day of the Christian Endeavor convention, which has been so successful in its operations, and which, it is believed, will be productive of excellent results, not only to the members of the organization, but to the varfous communities in which they reside, commenced with the sunrise prayer meetings. These were generally well attended, and the interest, in many cases, was more marked than on previous oc- casions. These early morning gatherings are a preparation for the more solid work of the day, and their informelity adds to the interest of those in attendance and in- duces a general participation in the serv- ices. This morning being the last of the sun- rise prayer meetings at the Gunton Tem- ple Church, as well as elsewhere, the lead- er, Rev. Harry Omar Scott of Hastings, Neb., was greeted by almost every dele- gate here from Minnesota, Oregon and Washington, by numbers of other delega- tions and many of the members of the church. At the close he said a few parting words, and then asked a prayer on the labors of the convention. Yesterday being Sunday, the audience at the meeting at this church was somewhat larger than usual. The leader was Mr. F. C. Warman, the president of the society of the church. He opened the meeting with a short service of song, and afterward closed it with a few words of advice. Mr. Chas.N. Hunt of Minneapolis has done many an act of mission work on the quiet tn his native city, and this morning he got in a few more strokes for the Master at the early morning prayer meeting at the First Baptist Church. The attendance was larger than usual, nearly filling the lecture room. Those who attended the early morning prayer meeting at this church yesterday morning will probably hereafter read their Bibles daily, for the subject “I Will Make It the Rule of My Life to Pray and Read the Bible Every Day” was treated in an inspiring manner. The leader was Mr. E. H. Jackson of this city. “Just so far as I know how, throughout my whole life, I will endeavor to lead a Christian life” 1s a pledge hard to con- scientiously keep to a majority of persons, but many of those who were present this morning at the service of song and prayer at Fifteenth Street Methodist Church,which was led by Mr. W. H. Phillips of Lynn, Mass., will undoubtedly live up to it. At this church yesterday the president of the Epworth League of that church, F. J. Metcalf, gave some excellent advice in his opening words, saying that a close study of the Bible alone ought to be, and is.many times, sufficient to convert one to Chris- tianity. Major Charles Bird of Fort Myer, who has been an untiring worker in the open-air services at the fort, led the sunrise prayer meeting at the Church of the Covenant to- day. The sunrise meeting at this church yes- terday morning was led by Mr. N. E. Web- ster, jr., president of the local society. At tho Memorial Lutheran Church at Thomas Circle this morning early the meet- ing was led by Rev. O. C. Clark of Mis- soula, Mont. Charles E. Paul, president of the En- deavor Society of this church, led the early meeting yesterday. The early prayer meeting at the Vermont Avenue Christian Church this morning was cecnducted by C. Z. Merritt of Oakland, Cal. At this church yesterday the leader of the early prayer meeting was the president of the society In the church, Miss Mary M. Folks. At the E Street Baptist Church the last of the early morning prayer meetings was led by Rev. George P. Goll, who having given the best years of his life to the work on the west coast of Africa, is so well fit- ted to talk on the subject “Consecration.” The large audience Joined heartily in mak- ing the meeting one of spiritual power. Mr. E. T. Fenwick led the early morning prayer meeting at this church Sunday. The attendance was somewhat larger than at the former gatherings of the same char- acter, and those present, by joining heartily in song and entering into the meeting with an enthusiastic spirit, made it one of the best held. ‘The delegates who belong at the Gurley Memorial Church have been very faithful in attending the early morning prayer meetings, and they turned out in large numbers this morning. Mr. Robert Caskey, the president of the Christian Endeavor State Union of Utah, led the meeting, and made It a very helpful one to all. iss Nannie C. Withers, president of t Christian Endeavor Society of this era led the meeting yesterday, and a large number profited by the interchange of ideas on the topic. The attendence of Marylanders on the early praise service at the Metropolitan M. E. Church yesterday and this morning was rot as large as usual, owing to the fact that many of the delegates from that state returned to their homes on Saturday night. Yesterday Mr. Edwin La Fetra of this city conducted the service, and today Mr. E. A Gilman of Boston presided at the mecting. New Jersey delegates attended the see. vice at the First Presbyterian Church in goodly numbers yesterday and today. The early morning service yesterday was un- der the charge of Miss Francis H. Tolman, and this morning was presided over by Mrs. S. J.

It was the final meeting of the week, and the delegates turned out in force. “I will make it the rule of my life to and read the Bible every day," was inv. coubtedly the sentiment of every member of the large congregation that attended the early morning prayer meeting yester- day at this church. Mr. D. P. vase r. D. P. Wolhaupter, 1st so far us I know how, throughou my whole life, I will endeavor to lead a Christian life,” appeared to be the senti. ment of all who attended the early meeting this morning at St. Paul's English Luth eran Church. Mr. R. W. Shaw of Houlton, Me., was the leader of the service. : Mr. Charles Phillips was the leader of the early morning prayer meeting yesterday at this church. The attendance was the largest since the opening of the convention, At Calvary Baptist, Assembly's Presby. terian and Central Presbyterian there weve good attendarces and much interest. The exercises, fervent in their nature, were cal- culated to do much good in the cause for which they were held. ie early morning prayer meeting toda: at the Church of the Reformation, was conducted by Miss Anna F. Webb of San Sebastian, Spain. There was a large attendance. Yesterdey the attendance was also large, the services being conducted by Miss Christine A. Poggersee.

Many sentence prayers were uttered, in- termingled with songs of praise at each meeting. All were conducted by competent leaders, Mr. Frank B. Gilmore of this city and Judge Ellis of Louisville, Ky., being in charge of the last two morning services. Rev. W. P. Bentley of Shanghai, China, was to be the leader this morning, but in his absence Judge Ellis led. The prayer services held at the Kendall Baptist Chureh, near 9th and B streets southwest, have all been of an interesting character, and the attendance was general- ly about fifty or more. Prayers, songs and testimonies have marked all of the ser- .¥ices, the last of which were conducted by Mr. John Bolen of this city and Miss Lottie E. Wiggins of Toronto, Ont.

Mcss scored a legal vic- tory in the Police Court Saturday, ard the Many drunks who have been fined and sent tc the work house for lying on the sidewalk now know that they were im- Prisoned when there was no law for the court's action. The lawyer entered a de- murrer in the case of William Carroll, who had teen arrested on a charge of obstruct- ing the sidewalk with his person. This, the lawyer held, was an offense against no law. ‘The law, he said, applied to things and net to person: Judge Kimball said that the point had pever been raised before, but he read the law and listened to the argument of coun- sel, and then decided that his position was well taken. He therefore sustained the de- murrer and ordered the discharge of the defendant. This action of the court leaves the drunken citizens as also the sober ores free to occupy the sidewalks for lodg- ing purposes. —_-—__ His Beques: The will of the late Naval Constructor Theodore D.

In response to the request of a committee from the Street Railway Assembly, the sum of $10, as already stated in The Star, was ‘lonated for the relief of the discharged employes from the Metropolitan railroad.

A clause is added imposing a penalty of $15 per day for each day the building remains uncompleted after the Mime limit is passed. Several well-known bidders at the lest moment decided not to submit proposals. After the bids had been opened they ex- hibited their figures. Several were con- siderably higher than the highest received. — AG. A. R. Campfire. John A. Rawlings Post, No. 1, G. A.
