MORNING SESSION.
For some reason the celebrated evan !
gelisls, Messrs. Hall and Gree, accom-
panied by the vocalist. Mr.. Stewart, Of
Philadelphia, did not reach here an
they Intended Thursday evening, new
ertheless u large congregation assem-
bled at the Lamar-street church yes
terday morning.
Rev. Mr.. Daniels, of the COngrega-
tional church, conducted the devotion
al exercises.
Rev. Mr.. Neeley opened the topic:
"Our young men; what can we do for
them?" with u short and well chosen
address, Our young men; who are
they, and what Of them? First-They
are to be our successors, assuming the
work and responsibility of the present
I we are to leave our impression upon
the future through these young men.
SeCond-Ihe young men of Dallas are
strangers, cut loose from all other
associations, and really without any
anchorage. What kind Of place Is
this city, into which these young men
have fallen? Crafty, seductive and
dangerous. So surrounded, how>can
they escape? What can we do for
them? Our coldneas and indifference
must be abated. We must do for them
what we would have people in our po'
aition do for our sons and brothers un
der like circumstances. They ar'
strangers. They are strangers, also
to til ose who draw them into ways q
Jice. This fact must not stand in tn
way of our approach and duty. The.
must he made more really welcome n
our churches. Make il II business t,
find and see them, and Introduce then
to friends.
Mr.. Hardie said it was fact tina
A nearly all who were in the Jail wer
young men.
f Rev. Mr.. Carhart said he believed
a solution of the difficulty to be foun
r in the local church organizations, tril
. utary to the y. NJ. G. A. There wei
young men in each congregation VIII
would do effective picket work.
d Several ladies' and gentlemen res
e and pledged themselves to the GOO
II work.
DR.. Smith opened the topic, "Il
lie distinct work OF the Y. NJ. g A.,n Ell
Al phaslzing the idea that it was n Chri
h tlan association, alluding to certa
N objections to the organization. v
ID are deficient in the social idea. v
10 must depend upon the rank and file
the church to do the work. Our han
~ are now more than fall. Ways of e
re- deuvor are numerous and open, al
H. very remunerative. Minister'S shou
III have little to do in guiding those
al terests; laymen are better. Let
cheer the good work on.
Is. This ended the morning session.
