SUBJECTS TO BE DISCUSSED.
The most important question to be dis
oussed in the convention is whether the 30
Getty shall assume a more aggressive policy
and take part in the greater reforms which
are new being agitated in New York and
other large cities of the country. In fact
was shown resolution, which will be intro
duced and discussed, looking to that very
end. 1t is, if passed, to be added to the
regular society pledge, which is as follows;
II promise TO aid to the best OF my ability
all efforts to apply the gospel OF Christ to
social life by means OF public measures for
the common good, and at the request OF the
executive committee / will circulate the
petitions favoring the measures thought to
be most needed and practicable. l also
promise to give at least one hours services
every week, joining in the sports OF children
and trying to cultivate in them the habit or
Christian thought, speech and action"
Another subject of interest Will be the
location Of the next convention. with every
indication favorable to Montreal. In fact,
that CITY would have secured the conven-
tion this year bnt for the eloquence or DR..
McEweu who turned the tide in favor or
New York just before the vote was taken.

overflow halls.

united society, gave me this statement of
the principles underlying the movement

its distinguishing features. the idea OF
| LOYALTY to some one church and pastor Is as
essential to a true society of Christian En-

! meeting or the lookout committee TIE
| few exceptions in the shape or union
! societies in small places or school house dis
| tricts or on revenue cutters ore in public in
stitutions are only the exceptions that prove

There ia no other authority for any So
cjsty besides its own church or pastor orde-
nomination. There is no one who desires

| case. could obtain it if he desired The
| only organizations recognized in Christian
! Endeavor are the local or district unions,
