B LANDRITH He Gave in - Clear- Cut Phases an Interesting : Statement of the Mi st Evening. ission of the Chris- tian Endeavor Organization. The tenth annual state convention of the Christian Endeavorers opened last night under the most favorable auspices @t the Armory. The large hall was packed to the doors, Every seat on the floor and in the gallery Was taken, and stand ing room was at a premium.

' The assembly was next led in awe by the Rev. B. B. Tyler, of ew York, all joining in the Lord's Prayer at the conclusion of his brief but earnest petition. The choir then rendered a selec- tion, Mr. G. A. Edmunds, the well known tenor, taking the solo part. Mr. Frees briefly addressed the con- vention with @ few words of wel- come to the visitors, saying: “The convention of "99 is at jast a reality. ‘The looked for Nas come.

Land- rith as the speaker of the evening. with Mr. Landrith was received epplause. He is a man of mag nificent presence, and combines wit and eloquence to just the proper extent to holdvan audience. His ad- Gress was intensely interesting throughout “| think it was about Christmas et any rate, it was in the midat of the winter,” said he, “when I recetv- ed @ letter from Tacoma ‘Come, and if you do not answ you will come, you will get a letter every month “nti! you do.’ T am to speak on the Christian En leavor movement, It isa mgod subject have no apologies to ‘make for the Christian Endeavor.

You can contro! poll- tics, but not by staying at home Christian citizenship stands for poll- tieal purity of citizens. Our parties must do right or die. “Missions are the cardinal princi- ple of the order. It couldn't be the Christian Endeavor without them. The principle of Christian En deavor is soul saving. We belleve not only in work at home, but also abroad. We give but one cent for levery three Heathen souls. We have not realized our financial reaponsl bility. Soul saving im the grandest work of all, the sublimest principle at ever came to man “In conclusion: The Christian En Jeavor stands for four things: The world for Christ; the nation for Christ; the family for Christ; myself for Christ.
