expressions. She had some sharp words
for the Christians of this world, MEM
bers of the strong denominations, who
give only cents month per member
for missionary work and send out one
missionary for every 5000 members.
This Canting christianity
was contrasted with the work of the
simple MOrmOns, who give on an aver
age S1.25 per month per member for
missionary work and who send out one
missionary f or every seventy members.
Her address was full of citations of
what can be done in heather lands, of
what has been done by the few that
have gone there, of what a field they Of
fer for real workers. of the need for
workers. The mission of the church is
to give the gospel to the heather. 1t
cannot be given to the heather OF this
generation if it is not done now.
II want to ask something of you to-
day. l want to ask you to give 10000
missionaries for work in heather lands.
You have 10000 societies, averaging
sixty to each society. Can't you send
one out of sixty and provide the money
to support him? Do this. and l think
the result will be 10000 Christian En-
deavor societies in Asia, Africa, round
the whole world, if you want to make
your society International instead of
talking about it.
Miss Leitch gave the rich pointer.
There is a woman in Edinburgh who re-
ceives a salary of 81, 900 a year. She
lives on $500 year, and with the other
$500 she supports missionary in Africa.
She related several like incidents. then
asked why people who have plenty of
money do not do the same. She didn't
believe there was any grace derived
from 80 cents or 81 given. You don't
feel that. What is wanted is contri-
button entailing a sacrifice upon the
giver.
Rev. A. A. Fulton, of Canton. China,
demanded two and half minutes. He
got it. Then he unfolded a scheme,
fathered by General Secretary Baer and
the committee of 81. 1t is intended to
make the c. Z. movement inter-cont
mental. To that end DR.. Clark will be
sent around the world, if he will 60.
Every Christian Endeavorer would be
asked to give 5 cents each, no mole.
The scheme was unanimously adopted
and applauded.
DR.. Wayland Hoyt arose a few min
utes later and declared that such a
movement was false TO the Christian
Endeavor idea. He felt sure that DR..
Clark would ne as well pleased with the
desire to send him abroad or with con-
summation. The money could be spent
TO better advantage in mission work.
In accordance with DR.. HOyt'S desire
some one moved reconsideration. 1t
was voted to give the money to mission
work.
Mrs. Scudder,S Paper.
Seats in front of the platform were
vacated for 200 junior EndeavOrers.
Mrs. Alice Nav Scudder. wife of Rev.
John l.. Scudder, formerly of Minneap-
oils, read a paper on The Child at
Work" She said if Christ intended
that laZinesS should exist, nests would
have been built for birds. The baby is
motion. Give him work to do
as he grows up, or he may be-
come a criminal, as many have done.
1t the work expended upon dolls clothes
were put upon clothes for the poor. and
if the love lavished upon dogs were
given TO neglected children OF poverty
there would be less want in the world.
Children play church and play preacher.
Why not give them chance to do the
real work in Junior EndeavOr society?
There is much talk of skilled labor.
That is what the church needs. The
only way to get it is to begin the train
ing Of the laborer at all early age. Do
that for the little girl. and when she
grows up she will think of something
besides getting rich husband. Mrs.
Scudder'S address was the best of the
afternoon-earnest, bright, breezy and
to the point. She talks as tirSt-claSs
re porter would write.

1--WE have here a speaker who will thrill
you on the Invest topic OF to-day"
When hymn had been sung it was
found that he referred to John G.. Wool
ley, who spoke OH "GOspel Temper
ance." Mr.. WoOlley's address was the
stereOtyped temperance speech, elO-
quent, though, as Mr.. Woolley's
speeches are. He claimed attention at
the start bv saying:
ppm speaking to girls that will be
drunkards' wives. I'm speaking to girls
that will be mothers of drunkards. Pm
speaking to young men who will fill
drunkards' graves"
He said he had tried to speak on Cos
pei temperance. He found gospel tenn
perance to be a treble of righteousness
and a diapasOn of eXpediency, with

flimSy paradox. His idea of gospel
temperance was doing anything and
everything to lead men away from
drink. In a burst of oratory he de-
clared that when a man votes for or
fails to vote against the liberation of the
liquor traffic, he is not practicing gospel
temperance.
Here the convention rose ard eheered
en- masse, the Des Moines delegates
waving a banner on which was inscribed,
"a school house on every hilltop, and
not a saloon in the valley" To Illus
trate his arguments, he told, very
dramatically, the story of his life. Then
he combatted the alleged biblical sane
ton of alcohol drinking, declaring. and
