Cali “In the Endeavor we must meet as {God’s children. We recognize in our- selves something higher than this ani- mal and worldly lite. We come, that holy feeling may spread from heart to heart. We meet to adore God, to open our souls to his spirit, and, by recogni- tion of the common Father, to forget all distinction among ourselves and to em- brace all men as brothers. “The great work of religion is to be done not in society, but in the retired soul in the silent closet. “Six months ago I was chosen Presi- dent of this society. and it becomes ine at this stage to render an account for my stewardship.

REMARKS OF MR. E, II. LIPSCOMB. “If an endeavoi an effort then a Christian endeavor must be an effort to do-+omething for Christ. There is no Christian but must be pleased with the apt and vigorous significance of the name. “But what right has Christ to ask us to do something for him? What right has he to demand of us that we fall down and worship bim, and Jaud, exalt and glorify his name among men? Greater right has he than the r of Russia to command his cossacks and his serfs; greater than that of Queen Victoria to command the queen’s own guard; greater than that of the Presi- dent of the United States to command the armed forces of the nation. These are indeed great rulers,as the world counts greatness, but :t is nevertheless their lot and destiny te bow and yield before Jesus C , along with the rest of the host of men. God had discovered Adam. And we are Adam’s suns ¢ daughters. Will we bow to tl that found and fashioned us, or will we set up some other god? “The people of God are the salt of the earth. It is worth men to be in this world only because God’s people are in it. REMARKS OF MR. THOMAS L. BROWN, ‘What have these s ies done from 1881 to 1893? My d-ar friends, let me read to you some of the great work that they have accomplished, not in our own city but in other cities.

The | saloons of that city have been kept open on Sunday, in bold defiance of the law. At a meeting of the Union a committee was appointed to wait upon the city authorities and ask that the Jaw might be enforced. Members of this commit- tee, in company with reporters of city papers, visited the open Sunday and gained an_ overwhehning ; mass of evidence; armed with this the | committee waited upon the police com- missioners and put in their evidence; as a result the saloons were closed on the following Sunday. Monday follow- ing the first Sunday not a single case of drunkedness came into the police court. The closing remarks were made by the pastor, Rev. R. A. Fisher, D, D., who said that he had heard nothing of | Y lin the the 8th of last June on his city, since which time he has given all the encouragement to it he possibly could, and the great revival now in pro- | gress is largely due to the influence of | the Christian Endeavor Society.
