THE EXAMPLES CITED “It is pl€asant,” said a prominent minis- ter of this city today to a Star reporter, “to turn aside from reading of the charges of corruption, so freely bandied among politicians of every party, and learr, from The Star, 2s published last evening, that young people of every denomination are getting ready to come to the front in every movement that looks te the welfare of our nation.” The subject referred to has been com- mented upon with equal freedom by others, and the progress of the “work of the young” in denominations not represented in the former article in The Star has been outlined by leading churchmen. An Example Cited Rev. E. B. Bagby of the Ninth Street Chrisiian Church said: “The history of my church, the Ninth Street Christian, is an illustration of what the young people cam do. Some of the younger members of the Vermont Avenue Church made a good start New Year day of 1888 by organizing a Sunday school in Odd Fellows’ Hall, in Southeast Washing- ton. Some time later a Christian Endeavor Society was formed, with about a dozen members. The good work of these two or- ganizations led to the establishment of the church in 1801. Its success has peen phe- nomenal, represented by more than five hundred conversions and nearly 300 addi- tions by letter, and $25,000 raised for all Purposes. “Two-thirds of our members are young people. We have had in six years a total enrollment of 1,300 in the Sunday school, N and of these at least 300 have united with C" the church. The Sunday school has been thus far the largest contributor to the church building fund. “Of course, in planning our new house of worship we took into consideration the needs of our young folks.

Dr. Eliiott, Ghuréh of the Ascen- sien, said: ve 5 “I understand The Stan to ask: Do the young people share in the greater interest and activity In-religious matters, which distinguish the present generation in this country? *: “That the present generation ts so dis- Unguished 1s the testimony of two very competent witupsses, Mit Carroll D. Wright and Mr. James Boyce. In ‘the re- ligious forces of the United States,’ Mr. Wright says the proportion of communi. cants to population is now about three times greater than in 1800, and that from 1830 to 1890, while the increase of popula- tion was about 25 per cent, the increase of communicans was 42 per cent. In ‘the American commonwealth,’ Mr. Boyce says, ‘we have seen‘ Christianity planting its hcuses of worship all over the country, and raising enormous revenues from {ts ad- herents. In many important respects, the influence of Ohristianity seems to be greater and more widespread in the United States than in any part of western con- tinental Europe, and I think greater than in England. The comtry which most re- sembles America, in this respect is Scot- jand.” “Now, the young people seem to have tneir full share in this activity and in- terest. They have indeed more than their Proportionate share now, because they had for several centuries too little share. En- deavor Society, Epworth League, Christian Union, Young Men’s Christian Association, Brotherhood of St. Andrew, and of Philip and Andrew, Daughters of the King, King’s Daughters—these and other names stand for hosts.enlisted for service and Frayer of young people, and many of these Were new names about the beginning of the present decade. “In the communion to which I belong the rapid growth of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and of the Daughters of the King attests strikingly the religious growth of the young, for in each case the order is spiritual in its aim and methods. In the recent echo meeting of the brother- hood convention at Buffalo, held in the Epiphany, Dr. McKim strikingly empha- sized the fact that the crowded convention was not one of business or debate, but a continuous instruction, lasting for days in the religious life, and the vonvention of the Daughters of the King, to be held in the Epiphany next week, is expected to move on the same high plane. “The change for the better in young men during my lifetime is more than a reforma- tion—it is a revolution.” Not New Among Catholics. Rev. Dr. Stafford, spiritual director of Carroll Institute, said: “This movement for the young is by no means new among the Catholics. “There have always been in the church a large number of societies, religious or- ganizations, plous confraternaties, social and literary guilds for the young people.

Successful Entertainment at Calvary Baptist Church. Judging from the attendance, the fund of the Vaughn Class Club that is main- tained by that popular organization of Calvary Baptist Sunday school for the purpose of assisting needy young men, both spiritually and materially, was swelled to a gratifying degree through the medium of a concert given last evening in the beau- tiful assembly room of the Sunday school house Every seat provided on the main floor and in the galleries was occupied, while quite a number stood throughout the evening. The audience was seated by a corps of young men in full dress, and wear- ing the colors of the class. The platform looked very attractive, being lined with Falms and other potted plants. The popular Madrids contributed the opening numbér of the program, a medley of popular airs, and responded to an en- A solo, by the WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET, Little Change in Prices—Butter Searce Quotations in the local wholesale produce market today show that the market has undergone little change since this day a Week ago.

The latter is an absolute necessity, as it is our wish to use in our worship the union hymnal in Baltimore, an eminent Hebrew scholar, and to do which, successfully, will require the services of more trained vocalists than we now have.” - The Outlook Hopefal. Vice Chancellor Beiler of the American University expressed the opinion to a Star reporter that the outlook for the improve- ment of the condition of the masses in the United States through the agency of the young people who are engaged in church work was as hopeful as coul@ be wished for, and continuing, sald: “There has been a wonderful movement among the young people of the Methodist Episcopal Church during recent years. “Up to about six years ago, there had been for a long time five different organiza- tions for young people within the denomi- nation, in addition to a course of study for which they had been organized to some extent by Bishop John H. Vincent. “In 1891 these five societies were con- solidated into one organization, known as the Epworth League. There had also been in the M. BE. Church some Christian Endeavor societies, but most of these have since become chapters of the Epworth League. “This organization has grown so rapidly that it now numbers 1,500,000 members in the M. E. Church alone; the M. E. Church South has also an Epworth League, with a membership of about half a million, and the Epworth Leagues in the M. E. Church in Canada number nearly as many mem- bers as do those of the M. E. Church Scuth. “These three bodies meet in great bien- nial gatherings at some place within the territory of the three churches. Each of these organizations has its general officers, with headquarters, a board of control and general secretary with assistants. Each of them also publishes a paper, devoted to the interests of the work of the young le. coors Its Course of Study. “The Epworth League has also a course of study, under the direction of the gen- eral secretary, Rev. E. A. Schell, and sold last year nearly 100,000 sets of books cov- ering the course of study. The course comprises history, Hterature, biography, the doctrine and -polity of the M. E. Church and practical methods of church work. “The enthusiasm of these young Chris- tians is felt throughout the entire denomi- nation. They have given new life to so- cial mectings; to a large extent have man- aged the social life and affairs of the church; have been of great service in Sun- day school work, and have been very effi- cient in the revival services held annually in the different. churches of the denori- nation. “Recently the Epworth Leaguers have been taking hold of practical lines of work, especially the missionary, the educational and hospital work of the denomination. ‘The largest chapter of the league is at Ann Arbor, Mich., where from among the stu- dents of the university there are 800 mem- bers. “Leagues in different parts of the coun- fry are reising funds for educational in- stitutions, and some have already con- tributed toward the American University in this city. As an outgrowth of the rela- tion of the Epworth League to educational work there is to be held at Pittsburg, Pa., during Thanksgiving week a congress of those young people of the M. E. Church who are engaged in the educational work as specialists. “Those who will compose the congress propose fo discuss the relations of the church to special and original investiga- tion of all recent movements in the world of higher education, and to inform them- selves as to what can be done to put Methodism thoroughly at the front in all these lines of work. Anticipated Results. “All this will certainly result in a better membership. in the Methodist Episcopal Church in. the next generation. They will be better trained intellectually and be more thoroughly alive spiritually. They will not only be able to do more and better work, but they will be larger minded and broader minded in their views and sym- pathies. “This will make the church stronger and more aggressive; it will hasten the triumph of the gospel and the final conquest of the world.” UNIVERSITY NOTES Columbian University. The foot ball team, with Manager Nicol, left Wednesday night for a series of three games, one at Hampton, with Hampton A. C.; at Richmond, with the Richmond AC., and at Newport News, with William and Mary College. One game, that with Hamp- ton A. C., was lost by the score of 4-0, but the Columbians maintain that the decision of the referee, in allowing the one touch- down of the Hamptons, was radically wrong, according to the rules of the game. The Enosinian Society met last evening to discuss the question, “‘Resolved, That the war of 1812 was justifiable.” Messrs. Stuart and Altschue were on the affirma- tive side and Messrs. Beatty and Everett on the negative. The Bee was edited by Messrs. Beatty and Cutter, and the News by Mr. Everett and Miss Ross. Mr. Beatty was the critic of the evening.

All Who Apply Before Jan. 1, 1898, for the Treat- ment That Has Become a Blessing to Our Time, May Be Treated at $3 Per Month Until Cured. The attendance at the offices of Doctors McCoy And Cowden. in October doubled even that of Sep- tember, and at the close of the month came again the inevitable culmination and crisis; a flood tide and flood pressure of belated importanutes that brought a second emergency, when “Something must be done.” Pleas tor another month's extension came from everywhere, “n letters from patients living in the elty who could not reach the offices, in letters from People throughout the country desiring to be treat- ed by correspondence, in personal visitation of friends who wanted to bring other friends or rela- tives. chane oe tne hg DEEEsUre Of work Incident to the the $3 period that during Saturday and Sunday, the 30th and 3ist, not so much as time for preparing or publicly announcing the extension could be spared. It was an unprecedented occnr- rence ir this practice. It was the first time in its history that it was absolutely impossible to pre- Pare or make thu usual announcements in the pub- Mc prints. in response t. pe-sonal requests to extend the tate Doctor McCoy said: “I wii do better than your request. You ask for one month, and I will give two. 1 will extend the $3 rate until the end of the year. It cuanot be snid then that there is not abundant time.” Astonished himself by the situation, he felt that @ second extension of ove month wouh seem like @ purely business matter. He could not make the concession grudgingly, sparingly or penuriously. He could not deai out benevolence as we deal out to- bacco or calico, by peuny weight or inch measure, 0 he has given the benefit of the rate for two full months, which 6 time enough to answer every ap- peal and request that has bech made, Such, then, is the logic of the whole movement for extending the benefits of the McCoy system te those uaable to pay regular fees. Such is the logic, also, of the final and lengthy extension; the text and substance of which is given above.

That the scope of Doctor McCoy's system of medicine is as broad as the field of Medical Scl- ence itself, and not cramped within the narrow limits of any single specialty, has been demon- straied repeatedir, but never so clearly as in the case of Mr. Davis and his mother, whose state- ments are presented together here. Charles Davis, Little Falls Road, D. C.: “The stomach trouble of which Doctors McCoy and Cowden have cured me began about two years ago, and tn a short time I became a physical wreck. My stomach distressed me all the time, and nothing that I ate did me any good. I got very weak and run down, had no strength and vo appe- tite. I Lost Flesh, Too, and Became Unfit fer Work. “I tried a rumber of remedies that were sug- gested by friends, and consulted one doctor; but nothing did me any good. “On several occasions I had terrible cramps that began in my stomach and from there extended all over my body. The last one I bad was accom- panied by vomiting, and was unusually severe, lasting over ten hours. It came on during the night, and it was late the next day before I got any relicf. “It I attempted to eat ordinary foods I would ff Doctor McCoy’s lec- tures upon the condition of impaired hearing relates sole- ly tv head noises (condition known by the dpctors as Tin- mitus Aurlum).

I Realiy Think Their Treatment Saved My Life. “I have told people 80, and those who know the condition I was in agree with me. “I was discharged cured in November a year ago, and have had no return of any of my symptoms. My stomach does not trouble me in the least; my appetite 1s good, feel as strong and well as not and T ever did in my life.” THE MOTHER CURED OF ASTHMA, Mrs. Eliza A. Davis, Little Falls Road, D.
