through them, especially on Sundays,
when the mills are not at work, and
there's little water coming down. The
channel is extremely narrow and close to
the right bank as you go up, but not one
crew in three Is shrewd enough to OBJ
serve this fact, and the other two get
stuck as matter Of course. Before they
are unstuck they go through with a deal
of valuable exercise in pushing and pol
ing, and break their rudder IL they have
worse luck than common.

THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR CON-
vENTION.

There is no stronger evidence OF the
progressive character of modern Chris
tianity than the convention of the Young
Peoples Society for Christian Endeavor
soon to be held in New York city. The
10000 delegates to this convention will
represent a society Of over a million
members, whose aim and purpose is the
encouragement of practical religion, not
among those Of mature age, but among
such as may be distinctly classed as
as young people. To great extent it
may be said that such society marks a
new epoch in the growth of Christianity
and points out the way for an incalcula-
BILE amount of good along lines which
have never before been systematically
developed.
1t has ever been maintained, and that
truthfully, that the religion of Christ is
religion for the young as well as for the
old, and it has been twenty centuries
since the Master uttered the memorable
words, Suffer little children to come
unto Me-" The element of sim
plicity which brings the Christian re-
ligion within the comprehension
even of little children has given
it vitality and missionary
character that has enabled it to surpass
all other religions in winning adherents.
But while this power of appeal to the
younger minds has always existed it is
only within the past few years that its
force has been recognized in its true
value. The desultory way in which
appeals have been made to the young
and even the work of the Sunday school,
deserving as it is of unstinted praise.
have not before served to bring together
and utilize these potent but widely
scattered forces of youthful enthusiasm.
1t remained for the Christian Endeavor
societies to combine them into an organ
ization with definite aims so that tangi-
BILE results might follow their practical
efforts.
The age is ripe for just this work.
The austerities of early Christianity
have within the last fifty years yielded
to teachings of the broader minds of the
leaders and religion inftead of being to
some degree unattractive to the young
folk has become clothed with beauty
and gentleness that allures even little
children. There is, too, to be added to
this truth the fact that the position of the
young i'm society has radically changed
within fifty years. Instead of being
passive recipients the young people have
developed for themselves an active
power never before known. II is the
combination of these two elements that
has formed the foundation for the
society Of Christian Endeavor and
made possible its grand results.
The history of its eleven years of ex-
istence is replete with the thought that
its growth and power were not the
children of circumstances but part Of
the divine purpose. Not even the most
sanguine of its first few members in
Williston Church, Portland, could have
imagined that an organization with only
four societies at the end OF its first year
would at the end of its eleventh year
embrace million members scattered
over the whole civilized world, or that
It would hold n convention attended by
twenty thousand delegates. Its growth

OH. WHAT A DIFFERENCE !,

We violate no confidence in making

dent.
fighters of the war-no less brave and
no more brave than thousands of others,
for courage was as common a quality as
it was admirable then. But he dis
played uncommon fitness for COM
mand and won his shoulderstraps; and
those who followed where he led had
plenty of fighting.
Grover Cleveland sent substitute to
do his fighting. There is nothing es-
pecially dishonorable in the fact. He
was the chief support of his mother and
her large family during his early years,
and he may have been fully justified.
We wish to deal with an opponent in
all fairness. But if Mr.. Cleveland was
compelled by circumstances to forego
the glory and honor of fighting to put
down q Democratic insurrection, he
should all the more be careful in peace
not to fout or oppose those who
have faced dangers he did not share.
Instead OF this he wrote while Presi-
dent more vetoes of pension bills alone
than all the other American Presidents
put together had written upon all sub
jects. He set up his own wisdom and
ideas of justice as superior to those of
congress containing scores of veterans
both Of the Federal and Confederate
armies. While Abraham Lincoln was
being whirled along to the battlefield of
Gettysburg he occupied his time in think
ing out q little speech SO tender to the
dearly remembered dead, so hopeful of
American freedom, so fraught with
homely eloquence of phrase that it will
remain a classic in our language
while that language lasts. Grover
Cleveland while President turned
similar trip into a "junket," just as he
went fishing on Decoration Day. He
simply doesn't appreciate what the SOL
diers did. He is the candidate of the
Copperheads and ex-rebels. In his slug
gish intellect still dwells the idea that
the war was failure.

and Whitelaw Reid smelled powder as
