N e SRR R JBa T TR BCENE AT THE SECOND DAY OF THE MISSIONARY CONVENTION WHICH IS BEING HELD AT THE ALHAMBRA THEATER, AND TWO OF THE EMINENT DIVINES WHO TOOK PART IN THE PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE ASSEMBLAGE OF | | MEMBERS OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. . * — — “This has been the most wonderful | week day religious meeting I have | seen In this city for seventeen years,” was the triumphant remark yesterday | by the Rev. W. W. Case, D. D., as the afternoon meeting of the great mis- sionary convention of the Methodist | Episcopal Church dissolved until the | evening. The Alhambra Theater, where the convention is being held, was crowded. The morning session began with the singing of the hymn *“Thou Almighty Word,” and the Rev. J. N. West, D. D., president of Reid Chris- tian College, Lucknow, India, read a scriptural passage and Dr. George Heber Jones of Korea said the prayer. After 2000 voices had finished sing- ing the great hymn, “Oh, for a Thou- sand Tongues to Sing,” Dr. W. F. Old- ham, assistant secretary of the Mis | sionary Society, CH¥ago, delivered an | address, the subject being “No. Other | Name,” and in which the speaker told |of an incident in the last convention ‘whlch was held in the East, when a Japanese speaking from the platform | began by uttering the significant words, | “Japan for Christ, Christ for Japan.” Dr. Oldham said he must enlarge upon | the declaration by saying, “The world | for Christ and Christ for the world.” i HEAR LEARNED ADDRESSES. | “The Missionary Soclety and Its | Work” was treated by Dr. A. B. Leon- | ard. Bishop John W. Hamilton stirred | his audience with graphic narratives of | facts of missionary labor. His sub- ject was “The Frontier,” but, said the ‘Bllhop, “great souls have no frontier |and the gospel has outgrown geog- raphy. | “Mrs. M. E. Roberts of Lincoln, Neb., | spoke on “Preparation for Missionary ‘Work,” and was followed by Mrs. Mary | Leonara Woodruft, delegate from Ohio, who delivered an address on ‘Porto Rico” end the labors of the missionary in that part. Mrs. Mary Gumiskey Bliss, delegate from Michigan, delighted the vast as- | semblage with her unique, forceful and EVERY one of the terested in seeing the 1 Whose | | fluent manner of relating the arduous, | persevering work of the Home Mission- | { ary Society. No less stirring was the | | afternoon meeting, over which Dr. W. | W. Case presided. | Great reports, interesting intelligence, | geographical explanations and statis- | tics of the populations and religious | growth in lands that have not known the' gospel formed the topigs. : STUDENT AS MISSIONARY. Dr. Wesley Dennett saidsprayers and | the Rev. H. B. Johnson assisted in the religious exercise, and then Henry J. McCoy, general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association of this city, discussed the “New Era in Young Men’s Christian Association Mission Work,” and it was just ome of those telling, strong talks which are charac- teristic of the general secretary. The Rev. E. M. Randall, D. D., presi- dent of Puget Sound University, Ta- | coma, Wash., told of “The College Stu- dent and Foreign Missions,” and in- formed those who did not know it be- fore that the college gnd the univer- sity are great fields from which great men had emerged on foreign soil, here valiant things had been done by hem for the kingdom of Christ. Dr. J. F. Berry, editor of the Ep- worth Herald, Chicago, followed, giv- ing a remarkable history of the Chris- tian socleties of America and of the whole world. . It was a rousing {llustration of the several organizations going forward to the field of Christian work, each with its banner flying at the head of its col- umn. Dr. Berry sald he could hear the tramp, tramp of the millions of youths of the churches, and see regiment fol- low regiment and in long lines form for battle’s fray. POWERFUL ILLUSTRATION. He instanced the stalwart Young Men’s Christian Association, whom he designated soldiers of the cross. Fol- lowing them came, waving with ma- jestic dignity, a banner “For Christ and His Church,” which was the banner of | ADVERTISEMENTS. | four hundred vehicles in- our store is new since January Ist.

Still, said the doctor, there came on another host moving to-the battlefield, a multitude of two millions strong, from beneath the blue sky of Canada, from India and other lands, and then bursts forth the banner of crimson and white—that of the Epworth League. The great assemblage was carried with the illustration, and the applause that followed lasted some time. Bishop Warne of India came from the sitting of the House of Bishops and delivered. an ‘impressive address that will be long remembered. The afternoon session was brought to a close with a prayer by Dr. F. D. Bo- vard. TALK ON WORLD MOVEMENT. The attendance at the night session of the convention was so large and the demand for admittance above the ca- pacity of the theater was so great that it was found necessary to place a sign on the doors with the words “full fn- side” in large letters. Bishop Goodsell of Chattanooga, Tenn., presided. Every one who had heard Bishop Fowler speak on “‘Abra- ham‘Lincoln” desired to hear his re- marks on “Missions and World Move- ments.” The Bishop treated his subject with picturesque . fluency and Yeady geo- graphical knowledge. In speaking of the conflict bhetween Japan and Russia Bishop Fowler said he wanted them each to whip the other most vigorously. He predicted that the Slav and Saxon would event- ually struggle over the Asiatic road- stead for supremaey. Speaking of In he sald that Rus- sia’s rallway appfoaches near unté the very wall of China’s capital. and he predicted furthermore that she will not be driven out, He considered Rus- sia a great organizer, and the Czar, with two continents condensed in him, is the “fist of the world.” This afternoon, after the morning sessign, “delegates, visitors and friends wtl::\:s attending the conven- tion will enjoy an excursion around the bay and through the Golden Gate on the ocean steamer Santa Rosa, leaving Broadway waarf at 1:30 o'clock. In the evening the convention will be re- sumed. —_————— ‘Will Renew Their Pledges. The members of the League of the Cross Cadets will assemble at St. Mary's Cathedral on Sunday morning for the purpose of renewing their temperance pledges.

The classrooms were draped with flags and decorated with large branches of greens and wild flowers, and hun- dreds of people filed from one room to | another to inspect the well-preserved old structure.
